VIDEO: Get caught up on the FL v. Dippolito case in 3 minutes

Posted: 01:50 PM ET

Friday was the first day in our new case, Florida vs. Dalia Dippolito. This is the sort of case that scripted crime shows might try to come up with and prosecutors say it all happened in Boynton Beach, Florida. 29-year-old Dippolito is accused of putting into motion a murder-for-hire plot against her husband, Mike Dippolito. The prosecution is trying to prove Dippolito planned her husband's murder with one of her lovers who ended up going to the police with her scheme. The police set up an elaborate sting, complete with an undercover cop pretending to be a hit man, hidden cameras and a fake crime scene.

Watch the video to get caught up on the case in 3 minutes.

Witness in MI v Stewart changes his tune

Posted: 08:53 PM ET

A witness in the MI v Stewart case contradicted his own testimony when Ryan Smith interviewed him on In Session Thursday.

Douglas Stewart was accused of killing his wife.  The prosecution's primary witness in the murder trial was  20-year-old Xbox enthusiast Richard Spencer, who met Stewart as they played video games online. After months of chatting online and playing "Call of Duty," Spencer considered Stewart his "best friend." His new best friend then asked him to do him a favor – serve as an alibi so that Stewart could kill his wife Venus Stewart.

During Stewart’s trial, Brian Wages testified he had saw a suspicious driver that could have been connected to the disappearance Venus Stewart.  On In Session Thursday, Wages said he told police about a hole he saw next to a farmhouse that could be linked to Venus’s disappearance, but that police never investigated his claim.

A detective in the case, Sgt. Todd Petersen, tells us that Wages gave police two different stories and that he personally inspected the barn.  Petersen will be on In Session tomorrow at 12:15 p.m. to respond to Wage’s claims.

In the meantime, check out Wages’s full interview with In Session:

A Casey Anthony news round up!

Posted: 09:36 PM ET

Just in case you missed it, lots of news about Tot Mom broke Wednesday.

Here’s the latest news on Anthony:

Court Docs: Casey claimed Caylee born after rape

On Tuesday, Judge Belvin Perry released transcripts of two depostions. They detail what pyschologists told Anthony's lawyers before she stood trial for her two-year-old daughter Caylee’s murder. Anthony’s defense team interviewed Dr. Jeffrey Danziger and Dr. William Weitz about their professional opinions on Anthony. The documents have a variety of bombshells such as Anthony's claims that Caylee was the product of date rape, and that Anthony’s father and brother molested her.

George and Lee have both denied those claims, and no evidence was presented in court to substantiate these claims and neither doctor testified in the trial. Wednesday, Orlando attorney Mark Lippman issued a statement on behalf of George Anthony. He said George Anthony was aware of the claims before the trial and has repeatedly denied molesting any member of his family.

Are Anthony and Jose Baez on the outs?

Reports are surfacing that Anthony was thinking about firing the man that defended her successfully during her murder trial, because she didn't like how he was shopping around her first interview since the trial.

Is Anthony sitting on a $350,000 offer to tell her story?

Nik Richie, the founder of the website The Dirty, tells HLN’s Showbiz Tonight he is offering Casey $350,000 for a tell-all about being accused and acquitted on charges she killed her daughter Caylee. Read more about the offer by clicking here

What to expect: Joran van der Sloot back in court Wednesday

Posted: 06:54 PM ET

Joran van der Sloot will be back in court Wednesday, but it’s anybody’s guess what will happen.

After a four-day hiatus, day two of his murder trial starts at 10 a.m. ET at Lurigancho Prison in Lima, Peru.

Watch live coverage on In Session.

On Friday, van der Sloot was asked if he admitted to charges including “qualified murder” and “simple robbery" in the death of Stephany Flores. He was expected to plead guilty, but instead, stopped justice in its tracks. It’s not clear if he was confused by the phrasing of the question or whether he just wanted to delay the trial. But whatever the reason, he shut down the trial by simply asking if he could think things over for a while. All parties agreed to the delay and court was recessed for the day.
