Farrah Fawcett’s Son in Court Over Bloody LA Crime Spree
About this episode
In this episode of The Trial: USA, we take you inside the case of Redmond O’Neal, son of Hollywood icon Farrah Fawcett, whose long history of addiction, mental illness, and arrests has culminated in a shocking series of alleged violent attacks across Los Angeles.
Prosecutors say O’Neal carried out a week-long crime spree in 2018 - including the brutal beating of one man with a glass bottle and the stabbing of another, leaving him with traumatic, life-altering injuries.
But for years, this case was paused - after a judge ruled O’Neal was not mentally competent to stand trial.
Now, nearly a decade later, he has been deemed fit to face justice and new, disturbing details are emerging in court.
Daily Mail’s West Coast correspondent Marjorie Hernandez was in the courtroom for O’Neal’s preliminary hearing - and joins us to break down what happened, what the witnesses revealed, and what comes next.
