Egyptian Crime Show Host Sentenced to Death By Hanging for Drug Crimes

NY Post — A popular Egyptian TV presenter has been sentenced to death by hanging after she was convicted for her role in a massive drug trafficking ring.

Sarah Khalifa, a 39-year-old former host of Egyptian crime show “Mission Impossible” sobbed in court as she was ordered to be executed in Cairo, Al-Jazeera reported.

“Please listen to me, sir. My parents raised me well; they are people who pray, and I don’t need drug money,” Khalifa, who has more than 2 million followers on social media, pleaded to officials.

Khalifa and 11 others were sentenced to death after they were convicted of operating an organized gang that imported raw materials to make drugs, Egyptian state media reported.

Luigi Mangione Request Murder Trial Be Live Streamed

America’s boyfriend, Luigi Mangione, is requesting to have his upcoming New York state murder trial livestreamed.

Although I truly hope they livestream this trial, I have to question if there is some kind of defense tactic in play here. Any law scholars that can explain this legal play?

Mangione came to national attention after being accused of the December 4, 2024, fatal shooting of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in New York City. He was arrested several days later in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after a nationwide manhunt.

As of August 2026:

He has pleaded not guilty to the New York state charges.
He also faces related federal charges.
He remains in custody while the criminal cases proceed. The legal process is ongoing, and no final verdict has been reached.
