Federal agents are reportedly now zeroing in on years of text messages exchanged between actress Hayden Panettiere and an alleged drug dealer prior to her death at an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina. As investigators search for evidence following reports that Panettiere may have taken a pill laced with fentanyl, prosecutors are pointing to federal statutes that carry severe penalties—including potential murder or mandatory minimum charges—for dealers whose drugs cause fatal overdoses. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down the developing investigation with forensic chemist Bethany Pridgen, who explains what is really inside these illicit street pills and why so many are deadly.

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Durk, whose real name is Durk Banks, was acquitted of federal murder-for-hire charges in Los Angeles. A 2022 gas station shooting targeted rival rapper Quando Rondo and ultimately left Rondo’s cousin, Saviay’a Robinson, dead. While co-defendants Deandre Wilson and David Lindsey were convicted on related stalking charges, the jury found reasonable doubt regarding Banks' involvement. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down what led to this bombshell verdict and what lies ahead for the artist with LA Magazine reporter Taylor Parise.
