Lenny Dykstra: Charlie Sheen Is a Murderer!
Charlie Sheen has been accused of just about every type of sordid behavior imaginable over the course of his 52 years as a tiger-blood guzzling warlock from Mars.
But before today, the Sheenius had never been publicly accused of taking a human life.
Sadly, the actor/human chemistry experiment will now be forced to cross that item off his resumé (or bucket list – this is Charlie Sheen we’re talking about) thanks to a mind-blowing new interview with his former friend, baseball legend Lenny Dykstra.
The notorious bad boys were BFFs for more than 20 years.
They first hung out together in 1993, partying in exactly they way you would expect from guys nicknamed Chuckles and Nails, respectively.
According to Dykstra, he stopped by Sheen’s house, and the two of them proceeded to get “hammered” and bond over automatic weapons and $ 3,000 bottles of wine.
Several sh-tty years later, as Kenny Powers would say, Dykstra has done hard time and is no longer on speaking terms with Sheen.
Dykstra shared all of these details and revealed exactly why he chose to end his relationship with Sheen in a stunningly candid conversation with The Hollywood Reporter.
After retiring from baseball, Dykstra embarked on a number of sketchy business ventures, amassing more than $ 58 million and losing it all shortly thereafter.
In 2011, after being charged with indecent exposure, drug possession, grand theft auto, identity theft and filing false financial statements, Dykstra was sentenced to three years in prison.
He claims that in the months before his sentence began, he became a sort of personal assistant to Sheen, arranging deals and offering advice that the troubled star rarely took.
Dykstra says he attempted to convince Sheen to come forward with his HIV diagnosis more than a year before the actor revealed his illness publicly.
The Philadelphia Phillies icon adds that these days, Sheen is living a tortured existence – alienated from most of his inner circle and facing a tax fraud investigation that might eventually land him behind bars.
Dykstra reveals to THR that he first realized how far Sheen had fallen when witnessing the near-fatal drug binge that coincided with Sheen’s famous “meltdown.”
“When [the OxyContin pills] are at their peak, it’s a euphoria, where you’re smart and you’re creative and you’re quick and you’re invincible,” Dykstra says of the famous 2011 interview in which Sheen introduced “winning” to the pop culture lexicon.
Dykstra says he last saw Sheen in 2014 and found him to be a shell of his former self:
“It was right out of a mystery spy thriller, with a sliding bookcase,” he says.
“I walked in and Charlie was standing there with a glass dick — a crack pipe — in one hand and his phone in the other. I took one look around, there’s all this stuff, cool paintings and Babe Ruth’s ring, and I said, ‘Charlie, I have to admit, if you’re going to smoke crack, this has got to be the best crack den on the planet!’ That broke the ice.”
But the most shocking revelation has to do with Sheen’s former friend and de facto assistant, Rick Calamoro, who was found dead of an apparent accidental overdose in 2012.
Dykstra claims that after Calamaro insinuated himself in Sheen’s social circle, many began to suspect that he had done so with plans to write a tell-all book about the actor:
“Before I went [to jail], I said, ‘Dude, this guy, he is writing a f-cking book, you got to fire him,"” Dykstra recalls.
After he was released from jail, Dykstra says he confronted Sheen about Calamaro’s death:
“What the fuck happened to Calamaro?” Dykstra remembers asking.
“He said, ‘You mean Dead Rick? What f-cking happened is the motherf-cker tried to blackmail me just like you said — wanted $ 5 million. I had him fucking iced.’ He said he had a hot dose put in there,”
Dykstra says “hot dose” is slang for an intentionally lethal dose of an intravenous drug that can be used to murder a user without suspicion.
Interestingly, Dykstra says he’s come to terms with Sheen’s alleged murder, but remains distraught over charges that Sheen assaulted his former fiancée Brett Rossi.
“Killing the guy that fucking tried to extort him: That’s his business,” he says. But what Rossi alleges happened to her is too much for him. “Men, they get in rages. But no pummeling.”
THR also spoke with Rossi, who details her allegedly abusive relationship with Sheen, and says she believes her ex to be capable of murder.
Not surprisingly, Sheen could not be reached for comment, but we’re guessing he would’ve muttered something about “Adonis DNA.”

Charles Manson Dies; Notorious Murderer Was 83
Charles Manson–arguably the most notorious criminal of the 20th century–has passed away at the age of 83.
News of Manson’s passing was revealed by Debra Tate, the sister of his most famous victim, who says she was notified by officials from Corcoran State Prison on Sunday night.
TMZ confirmed the news of Manson’s death moments ago.
Manson was transported to a hospital in Bakersfield, California last week after suffering intestinal bleeding.
It was Manson’s second hospitalization in the past year, and on both occasions, doctors reported that the longtime inmate was too weak for surgery.
“It’s just a matter of time,” one hospital source told TMZ on Tuesday.
Manson’s crimes and subsequent trial captivated millions of Americans in the late 1960s and early ’70s.
Though he was never accused of taking a life with his own hands, the charismatic cult leader was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the 1969 deaths of actress Sharon Tate and six others.
For many, Manson became a living symbol for the death of the 1960s hippie movement and its culture of pacifism and free love.
In the decades since his arrest, his name has became synonymous with evil.
Born to an unmarried 16-year-old runaway in 1934, Manson was placed with an aunt and uncle following his mother’s imprisonment for robbery when he was just 5 years old.
Manson’s life of crime began at an early age, and he was first imprisoned at the age of 13 following a string of robberies.
After a youth spent primarily in various detention centers, Manson was transferred to Terminal Island prison in Los Angeles in 1967.
Following his release, Manson experienced a modicum of success as a musician, recording an album’s worth of folk songs and collaborating with members of the Beach Boys.
Fame eluded Manson as a singer and songwriter, but it was in his role as a sadistic cult leader that he would become a figure of international infamy.
It was at Spahn Ranch in Chatsworth, California that Manson attracted a “family” of drifters and outsiders who, under his instruction, carried out the murders of Sharon Tate, Abigail Ann Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, Steven Earl Parent, Jay Sebring Leno, and Rosemary La Bianca.
At the time of her death, Tate was pregnant with her first child by famed director Roman Polanski.
Nearly fifty years after the murders that made him infamous, Manson hold on the public’s imagination is such that he became the number one trending topic on Twitter within minutes of the announcement of his death.

Parrot Mimics Owner"s Last Words, Murderer Gets Convicted
If you"re going to commit a murder, maybe don"t do it in front of that witness. Even if that witness is a parrot.
Especially if that witness is a parrot, in this case. A story that"s spanned the globe is nearing its conclusion, as a woman whose lies were exposed by a parrot has now been convicted of murder. One of the clues in that case was testimony provided by a parrot.
We have video for you, from before the trial began, of Bud the African Grey. They censor some of his course language, but you do get to hear him imitate the murder victim pleading for his life.
To be clear, Bud the parrot didn"t testify in court.
This isn"t, like, a cartoon.
Or an especially screwy rerun of Matlock.
In 2015, Martin Duram was shot five times in his home.
He died.
His wife, Glenna Duram, was found having been shot once in the head.
She survived.
Though she was initially treated as a surviving victim, police ultimately came to realize that she was the perpetrator.
She has now been convicted of murder, as the whole thing was apparently a murder-suicide that didn"t work out quite as she"d hoped.
But there was a witness — Bud, Martin"s pet African Grey.
Now living with Martin"s ex-wife, Bud began to repeat what are believed to have been Martin"s final words:
"Don"t f—ing shoot!"
That might sound like something that Bud might have heard in a movie.
And that exact sort of argument is part of why Bud never spoke in court.
(Also he"s just shy and seems to repeat these lines when no one is in the room)
(And then there"s the obvious absurdity and inherently questionable nature of a parrot"s testimony)
But according to Martin Duram"s ex-wife, Bud most often repeats this phrase while imitating Martin"s voice.
And you can hear Bud doing just that in the video below.
Is that conclusive?
No.
Is Bud even directly pointing the finger (or … talon?) at Glenna?
Also no.
But it"s certainly suspicious as hell.
And it"s unnerving to hear Martin"s voice begging for his life in what some say is a decidedly familiar tone.
Not to worry, though — it was actual evidence that led to Glenna"s murder conviction.
For many talking birds, their "speech" is less about conversation and more like … some sort of avian echolalia.
That is, both domesticated and wild birds, including various parrot species, might repeat noises that they"ve heard, almost compulsively.
Some birds mimic car engine noises, others (especially beautiful tropical birds) imitate the sound of a camera taking a photo.
African Greys are different.
African Greys are widely regarded to be one of the most intelligent bird species and species in general in the world.
We"ve read a story where a woman"s African Grey would make vocal noises that sounded exactly like the woman"s kitchen sink was running.
She went into the kitchen to check — but the sink was stopped.
She goes back out into her living room, and the parrot — very amused with themselves — says "fooled you!" Triumphantly.
We"ve also read about parrots who will talk to dogs by imitating the voices of their humans.
"Wanna go for a walk?" can be very, very confusing for a dog who doesn"t realize that it"s the parrot talking.
In the case of Bud, however, we think that he"s probably just traumatized by what he witness.
Repeating what he"s heard doesn"t mean that he understands the justice system and wanted to provide evidence.
He very likely is just still processing it, still terrified by it.
Glenna Duram still awaits sentencing for murdering her husband.
It"s likely that she"ll face life in prison for her crime.
Bud, in the meantime, will turn 21 in a couple of months.
That would be really old for a dog or a cat, but African Greys have been known to live for up to 80 years in captivity.
Honestly, and we don"t care if this sounds silly, we hope that Bud is processing what happened as healthily as he can.
60 more years is a long time to live with trauma.
But he looks pretty happy in his new home, where he"s now been for over a year.
Watch the pre-trial news clip below to see and hear him recount Martin Duram"s last moments:

Brendan Dassey: Making a Murderer Teen RELEASED From Prison!
Brendan Dassey was just 17 years old when he was convicted of helping his uncle Steven Avery with the murder of Teresa Halbach.
Now, in a turn of events that’s sure to please many fans of the popular Netflix documentary Making a Murderer, a judge has ordered that Dassey be released from prison after six failed appeals and nearly a decade behind bars.
Multiple news outlets reported moments ago that a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled that Dassey’s constitutional rights were violated when police coerced a confession from him when he was just 16 years old.
As Murderer viewers know, it was more than just his youth that made Dassey vulnerable to the investigators’ highly questionable methods.
The Wisconsin native has been diagnosed with multiple intellectual and emotional disabilities.
The documentary series shocked millions with scenes that showed the ways in which Dassey was manipulated during his interrogation and his lack of understanding of the severity of what was taking place:
“Dassey’s borderline to below average intellectual ability likely made him more susceptible to coercive pressures than a peer of higher intellect,” his judge said today
The judge also stated that he took issue with Dassey’s insufficient representation during his trial.
Dassey’s first attorney, Len Kachinsky, permitted him to be interrogated without the presence of counsel.
Clearly, this is good news for Dassey and his family, but they’re not out of the woods yet.
Prosecutors have 90 days to decide if they want to re-try the case.
Dassey’s uncle, Steven Avery is still appealing his conviction of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Police and prosecutors believe Dassey and Avery murdered Halbach, a local photographer, in 2005.
The cases became the subject of intense public interest when Murderer debuted on Netflix last year.

Kevin James Loibl Identified as Christina Grimmie Murderer
Friday night, a gunman took the life of Christina Grimmie, a 22-year-old singer and finalist of The Voice season 6.
The shooting took place just after a concert in Orlando, Fla., where Grimmie opened for the band Before You Exit.
Police have now identified the man as Kevin James Loibl, a 27-year-old resident of St. Petersburg, Fla.
Officials believe Loibl traveled two hours to Orlando specifically with the intention of killing Grimmie.
He was armed with two handguns and a hunting knife, according to authorities.
Grimmie was signing autographs during a meet-and-greet after the show when Loibl approached and shot her.
Grimmie’s brother Marcus tackled the gunman, who then shot and killed himself.
However, suicide may not have been part of Loibl’s original plan.
Police say Loibl had made plans to return to St. Petersburg after the show, suggesting he thought he might get away with murder.
The singer was rushed to the hospital following the attack and later died of gunshot wounds.
A motive is still unknown, but in a press conference Saturday morning, police said Loibl appeared to be a “deranged fan.”
They say they are searching his phone and computer and hope to uncover more details shortly.
A number of stars and supporters have spoken out against the senseless violence against what was once a promising young singer:
