Surveillance video released of Banko Brown homicide In a press conference Monday, Jenkins said Anthony will not be prosecuted because he believed his life was in imminent danger before the shooting.

(KRON) -- A man accused of molesting a child in San Jose died in his jail cell over the weekend, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. The 74-year-old man was alone in his cell when deputies found him unresponsive at 2:05 p.m. Saturday. Deputies assigned to the Santa Clara County Mail Jail performed CPR on the inmate. He was declared dead at 2:55 p.m."Preliminary information shows no evidence of foul play or suspicious circumstances leading to the death," Sgt. Russell Davis wrote.

San Francisco DA releases video of Walgreens security guard fatally shooting alleged shoplifter

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:34:04 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco’s district attorney Monday released surveillance video showing the fatal shooting of a suspected shoplifter by an on-duty Walgreens security guard, along with other footage and documents that she said support her decision not to file charges against the guard.District Attorney Brooke Jenkins released the information amid public outcry over the April 27 death of Banko Brown, a 24-year-old who was not armed, outside a downtown Walgreens. Last week, the Board of Supervisors approved a resolution urging her office and the police department to release more evidence. She cited self-defense in her decision not to charge the guard, Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony. But the release of surveillance video did not appear to quell critics in a city dogged by brazen shoplifting and wide division over the appropriate responses to crime, particularly when the suspect is homeless or impoverished.The footage, which does not have sound, shows Brown heading for the do...

Ja Morant in limbo again as he awaits review of latest gun video on social media

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:34:04 GMT

Ja Morant still had his endorsement deals Monday. While his latest gun video on social media is costing him plenty in public relations currency, he hasn’t lost any money.Any, or all, of that could change any day. Once again, Morant is in limbo — awaiting the outcome of yet another NBA investigation into what could end up becoming a cataclysmic off-court decision.“This is going to be a hot question,” Syracuse professor of sport management Rick Burton said Monday. “I don’t think they can hit pause on this. I think that there will be too much demand for, ‘What are you going to do?’”The NBA already suspended the two-time All-Star guard eight games in March for livestreaming himself holding an apparent handgun in Colorado. That cost him about $669,000 in salary. How Morant’s sponsors react to him being caught on social media apparently holding a weapon for the second time in less than three months is another issue. Morant has endorsement deals with Nike and the sports drink Powerad...

¿”El crimen del siglo”? Fiscal concluye pesquisa de cuatro años sobre el FBI y campaña de Donald Trump

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:34:04 GMT

WASHINGTON — Un fiscal especial concluyó su investigación de cuatro años sobre el posible mal manejo del FBI en su indagación a presuntos vínculos entre la campaña de Donald Trump en 2016 y el gobierno ruso, lanzando duras críticas a la agencia de seguridad pero muy lejos de las predicciones del expresidente de que se destaparía “el crimen del siglo”.El reporte el lunes del fiscal especial John Durham es la conclusión largamente esperada de una averiguación que según Trump y sus aliados iba a exponer una ilegalidad masiva por parte de las agencias policiales y de inteligencia. En lugar de ello, la investigación de Durham arrojó resultados decepcionantes. Los fiscales lograron que un empleado del FBI poco conocido se declarara culpable, pero perdieron los únicos dos casos penales que pudieron llevar a juicio.El informe de aproximadamente 300 páginas cataloga lo que Durham considera que fueron una serie de pasos en falso del FBI y el Departamento de Justicia cuando los investigadores ...

El fiscal especial John Durham concluye que el FBI nunca debió abrir una investigación sobre Trump y Rusia

(CNN) — El fiscal especial John Durham concluyó que el FBI nunca debió abrir una investigación completa sobre las conexiones entre la campaña de Donald Trump y Rusia durante las elecciones de 2016, según el informe que preparó durante tres años el funcionario, designado por la administración de Trump, y que se dio a conocer este lunes.El informe de más de 300 páginas de Durham también afirma que el FBI utilizó “inteligencia en bruto, sin analizar y sin corroborar”, para abrir la investigación “Crossfire Hurricane” sobre Trump y Rusia, pero utilizó un estándar diferente al sopesar las preocupaciones sobre la supuesta interferencia electoral con respecto a la campaña de Hillary Clinton.Trump demanda a Hillary Clinton y al Comité Nacional Demócrata alegando conspiración para vincular su campaña con RusiaSin embargo, el fiscal especial no recomendó ningún cargo adicional contra individuos o “cambios a gran escala” sobre cómo el FBI maneja las in...

But the video shows how important it is to restrain your pet in the car.  “Those events are fully preventable,” Lindsey Wolko, a pet safety researcher and advocate, said.Wolko founded the Center for Pet Safety after surviving a car crash with her dog Maggie.
