Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:20:04 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Four years had passed since Robert and Kathy Dyer lost their 18-year-old son, Graham. I sat with the couple in the kitchen of their home outside of Paris, Texas, in late 2017. It was just months since they shared their story with state lawmakers in support of a bill to close an obscure provision in the Texas Public Information Act – something known as the “dead suspect loophole.”“No family should have to go through the suffering of not knowing the details of how their child has passed,” Kathy told me. “What a shock! I thought a parent would have a right to records to see what the truth was. It’s all captured on video. To say that you don’t have a right to that – it’s just crazy.” Watch the KXAN docuseries, DENIED, about the Graham Dyer in-custody death case The loophole was part of an exemption in place since 1997, originally meant to protect of the privacy of people wrongfully accused who wanted to prevent the exposure of details surrounding their arrest.

Former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney implored new college graduates to not compromise when it comes to the truth, excoriating her House Republican colleagues for not doing enough to combat former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen.In a commencement speech at Colorado College, the Wyoming Republican repeated her fierce criticisms of Trump but steered clear of talking about his 2024 reelection campaign or her own political future.Cheney, who graduated from Colorado College in 1988, recalled being a political science student walking into a campus building where a Bible verse was inscribed above the entrance that read, “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”“After the 2020 election and the attack of January 6th, my fellow Republicans wanted me to lie. They wanted me to say the 2020 election was stolen, the attack of January 6th wasn’t a big deal, and Donald Trump wasn’t dangerous,” Cheney said Sunday in Colorado Springs, connecting her experience...

By Emily Weinstein, The New York TimesWeeknight recipes are the dishes you can make at the end of a long day when you don’t have much time or energy, but still want something good to eat. All of this week’s selections work for Memorial Day weekend gatherings, in addition to the days that follow.Stovetop Barbecue ChickenStovetop barbecue chicken, in New York, April 20, 2023. Smoked paprika in the sauce hints at the flavor you would get from the grill. Food Stylist: Simon Andrews. (David Malosh, The New York Times)Nothing compares to live fire, but even if you don’t have a grill, you can make chicken that’s burnished and sticky with barbecue sauce. To achieve a similar smokiness on the stovetop, paint boneless, skinless chicken with some barbecue sauce and sear it so the sugars in the sauce caramelize and char. The sauce here leans tangy and spicy, but adjust it as you like. Once the chicken is cooked, let the sauce bubble until glossy enough to slather onto the chicken.By Ali SlagleY...

The Little Mermaid Finds a New Voice in Remake

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:20:04 GMT

In 1989, Disney’s The Little Mermaid ushered in a new age for animation by taking audiences under the sea to a magical subaquatic world of mermaids, handsome princes, and sinister sea witches set to the glorious tunes of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman.The story of a feisty mermaid driven by her love for a human to make a deal with a sea witch not only revitalized Disney as a studio, but created a new type of princess for young girls to idolize and set the standard for modern animation. It was a game changer. And now several decades later, Disney hopes to cast a similar spell with a live-action version of the animated masterwork. But does it sink or swim?While the latest The Little Mermaid, updated with inclusive casting, follows the story of the animated classic fairly well, it misses enough small nuances so that much of the charm is left by the wayside. Ariel’s fiery nature, Sebastian’s humorous frustration and Chef Louis’ hilarious “Les Poissons” are gone but not forgotten. Directo...
