People are only just realising Taylor Swift once played a naughty murder victim on CSI – HITC – Football, Gaming, Movies, TV, Music

Despite being one of the most popular and greatest singers of todays generation, Taylor Swift also had screen time on CSI. Her acting credit on the hit television show came before her fame skyrocketed. No, I dont mean her music videos.

Not only had she starred alongside her then-boyfriend Taylor Lautner for romantic-comedy Valentines Day, but she has also made guest appearances on television shows.

One of the most iconic probably most forgotten appearances was the time she featured in CBSs CSI: Crime Scene Investigation back in 2009.

Think back to 2009, and it may feel like forever ago. The now-mega superstar had an interesting beginning in her career. Some celebrities come from Disney, others from cameos. However, Taylor Swift shifted her career by acting as a murder victim on CSI.

However, she hasnt been the only popular musician to ever appear in the series. Justin Bieber and John Mayer also guest-starred as murder victims on CSI.

According to People, Taylor has always been a huge fan of the series and it was a life-changing experience that she will tell her grandchildren all about.

As a guest role in season nine, Taylor Swift interpreted the character of a teenager named Haley Jones.

Those who have known the Never Getting Back Together hitmaker from the beginning will know shes remembered for her persona of the All-American type of girl.

During her appearance on the show, she had followed her Wildest Dreams by trying something new.

According to Republic World, she told The New York Times her role as Haley Jones allowed her to be a little bit naughty, and credibly so.

I Knew You Were Trouble, as one of her songs says.

Her character Hayley, who appeared in Season 9 Episode 16, sees her thinking about a lost love. After the breakup Hayley is upset in her home as she deals with a difficult relationship with her stepmother. As her stepmother taunts Hayley over her appearance, they row.

However, it doesnt end well as her stepmother stabs her and leaves her for dead. The story arc forms a full circle as her ex-boyfriend discovers her body.

Not only did she act but also sang.

Written and produced by her, the singer remixed her song Youre Not Sorry for an OST in the series.

The song was about anex-boyfriendwho ended up being the opposite of what he appeared to be. It was perfect for the occasion since it related to her character, Haley, who became the victim of a murder.

In other news, Spy x Family is on Netflix, but streaming is sadly limited to certain locations

Dade City woman killed, body severed in two in Pasco hit and run – Tampa Bay Times

After a 49-year-old woman was killed in a hit and run early Sunday in Dade City, a pickup truck drove into the ensuing crime scene investigation, running over part of the body and nearly hitting two deputies, police say.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers responded to the crash along U.S. 301 south of Desrosier Road around 3:30 a.m., according to a police news release. Police said a white or silver sedan ran off the road, hit a traffic sign and got back on the highway briefly before veering off again and plowing into a Dade City woman who was walking on the grass along the shoulder. The impact severed the woman in two, killing her, police say.

A little over an hour later, Florida High Patrol troopers and Pasco Sheriffs deputies on the scene saw a truck headed toward them at high speed, police say. The driver, identified by police as 23-year-old Andrew Thomas Krummen, did not stop. Police say the truck nearly hit two officers and ran over the womans lower half. A chase ensued, going on for about 10 minutes.

Police arrested Krummen and booked him into Pasco County Jail on charges of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle upon a law enforcement officer, reckless driving, DUI, fleeing and eluding, destruction of evidence and driving while his license was revoked.

Police said Krummen was also charged with false imprisonment, as he had two passengers who were trying to leave the vehicle and flag down officers.

Police are still investigating the initial hit and run.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Slain SPD officer trial: Riveting testimony from CSI officer – KTALnews.com

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) Day five of the trial of the two men accused in the January 2019 death of Shreveport Police Officer Chatri Payne got underway late Friday with detailed testimony from a crime scene investigator about the guns that were and were not used in the fatal shooting.

Trevion Anderson, 29, and 41-year-old Glenn Frierson are charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit second-degree murder in the Jan. 9, 2019, shooting death of the 22-year-old police officer.

On Monday, a third co-defendant, 24-year-old Lawrence Pierre, pleadedguilty to second-degree murder in the case and was immediately sentenced to mandatory life in prison without possibility of parole, probation or suspension of sentence, so the original indictment against the three was altered to reflect only Anderson and Frierson.

On Wednesday, the prosecution told the jury of six men and six women that Anderson was Paynes live-in boyfriend and father of her 2-year-old child and was angry when Payne told him she was moving from the house the two shared at 1633 Midway.

The prosecution claims Anderson recruited his two original co-defendants to help kill Payne, while defense attorneys for both Anderson and Frierson claim their clients are innocent.

Late Friday morning, the prosecution called Shreveport Crime Scene Investigator Cpl. Robert Cerami to the stand and asked to qualify him as an expert witness.

Cerami, who has extensive training in crime scene investigation said he has investigated more than 700 shootings. Through investigating the ejection pattern of shell casings, Cerami has learned to determine where the shooter may have been, as well as whether he or she was standing, kneeling, or on the ground when the firearm was discharged.

Although the defense objected, as Cerami was the primary crime scene investigator in the Payne case, District Judge John Mosely overruled the objection, and Ceramis testimony was entered into the record as an expert.

Caddo Assistant District Attorney Treneisha Hill began by asking the officer to describe the scene from when he first arrived, peppering his testimony with photos taken outside and inside the home Anderson and Payne shared.

While police said Anderson claimed he was inside the house, heard gunshots, grabbed his Glock 22 40 caliber handgun, went outside and shot at an intruder, Cerami said the bullet casings found from that particular gun were actually shot into the ground.

Although two Glocks were found at the crime scene Andersons and Paynes service weapon, also a Glock 22 neither was the weapon used to kill Payne.

Cerami indicated that the investigation pointed to the shots, which came from two different Glocks, one of which was not located for a few days, all came from the northeast or left side of the house (the front door and small porch on the left; the driveway where Payne was shot is on the right side of the house).

Hill skillfully led Cerami through a description of where each piece of evidence found all the shell casings from Andersons gun and the kill shot from the then-unknown Glock as well as a cellphone, found hidden between the mattress and box springs of the bed Anderson and Payne shared.

It was on this cellphone that detectives later found text messages that led them to believe that Anderson had accomplices. A few days later, a tip led detectives to Pierre, who they ran down at Caddo Parish Juvenile Court where he worked in the Clerks office.

Police took Pierre to the Shreveport Police Department for an interview, then took him back to work. He later led them to the murder weapon, which was found hidden behind an air cooler and hot water heater at an apartment in the 8100 block of Pines Road.

Cerami, who completed his testimony for the prosecution, will not be cross-examined by defense attorneys until Monday, as the prosecution asked to call two witnesses out of order late Friday afternoon.

One of those witnesses was former SPD Homicide Detective Kenneth Thompson who investigated Paynes death and received a tip at a local barbershop identifying Pierre as a suspect. The other was a former co-worker at Caddo Juvenile Court, who told police Pierre had a second telephone.

Testimony will resume at 10:30 a.m. Monday.
