The former cop accused of killing his wife and trying to make it look like a suicide continues his shocking testimony.  Brett Seacat told jurors today that his wife Vashti was having multiple affairs, and even said that she had tried to kill herself several times before.  CNN correspondent Ted Rowlands, in court today, tells Jane how Vashti's family reacted to today's testimony.  Then Jane and a panel of experts discuss whether it was the right decision for Seacat to take the stand.

A potentially huge turning point for the beautiful wild horses that roam the American west.  The new Interior Secretary of the United States said she was going to wait to decide how to proceed with wild horse roundups until the National Academy of Sciences released a report.  Well, that report has come out, and it's scathing criticism of the Wild Horse and Burro Management Program.  The report reads quote "continuing 'business as usual' will be expensive and unproductive for B.L.M. [Bureau of land management] and the public it serves."  Critics have long said that these roundups are unnecessarily cruel and inhumane. Deniz Bolbol of the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign joins Jane to discuss the latest development for the wild horses of America.  To learn more or get involved, visit StepInSally.com.

Brett Seacat, the former cop accused of executing his wife Vashti and then setting their house on fire, took the stand in his murder trial today.  Jane Velez-Mitchell gets the latest from CNN correspondent Ted Rowlands, who was in court today, and debates the case with a panel of experts.

A reporter who interviewed Jodi Arias tells Jane Velez-Mitchell she got the impression that Jodi "is a very mentally ill person."  Murphy spoke to Arias one-on-one after she was convicted of murdering her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander.  Murphy also tells Jane whether or not she thinks Jodi's "black" eyes seem evil.

For months, Jodi Arias’ legal team tried to prove that Jodi was NOT mentally ill. They argued that she was abused and suffered from PTSD and Battered Woman’s Syndrome. 

But on Wednesday, in a statement to the Arizona Republic, Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott seem to change their tune. Part of the statement, in which they say it would be wrong to give Arias the death penalty, discusses “seeking to impose the death penalty upon a mentally ill woman who has no prior criminal history.“

Late Tuesday night, Paris Jackson, the 15-year-old daughter of the late superstar singer Michael Jackson, was rushed to the hospital after reportedly attempting suicide.  A source close to the Jackson family confirms that Paris called a suicide hotline and the counselor notified 911.  Paris Jackson was hospitalized but will be ok after reportedly slitting her wrist.

Paris was expected to testify in the lawsuit against music promoter AEG Live. Paris and her family blame AEG for hiring Dr. Conrad Murray and say they are liable for Michael Jackson’s death.  Did the pressure of this trial contribute to Paris’ attempt to take her own life? Jane Velez-Mitchell talks to a panel of experts to find out exactly what happened and what could have caused the near tragedy.
