Thu May 27, 2021 at 1:00pm ET
A Time To Kill is investigating the murders of Daniel “Dan” O’Connell and James Ellison, who were gunned down in the office of the funeral home where they worked in Hudson, Wisconsin.
The police suspect that the killer was a Catholic priest, Father Ryan Erickson. They believe that he shot dead the 39-year-old funeral director, O’Connell, because he may have had information that the priest had been involved in child sex abuse. They also believe that James Ellison, a 22-year-old student intern, was killed because he was a witness.

The origins of the Jan. 6 insurrection

For many, the most disquieting takeaway from the Trump-inspired assault on the nation’s Capitol and democracy, and the ensuing effort to exonerate the defeated president of sedition, is the inevitable conclusion that terrorism and its inspirations are now deeply embedded in our culture. Right-wing terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Richard Wayne Snell and Dylann Roof dreamed that they were setting up the day when patriots just like them would lay siege to the national government and return America to its conservative white destiny.
Federal investigators have signaled some of the defendants in the attack on the U.S. Capitol could be charged with seditious conspiracy, a law enacted to target those who attacked the federal government during the Reconstruction era.
An indictment filed on Jan. 27 charges three of the riot suspects with conspiring to impede Congress certification of the Electoral College vote for the 2020 presidential election. The filing alleges those three are members of the Oath Keepers, a loosely organized collection of militia who believe that the federal government has been co-opted by a shadowy conspiracy that is trying to strip Americans of their rights.
