The new day was just 40 minutes old when cops were called to a shooting at 2 Ingram Dr.
Outside a fast food resto, officers found a man in a car who had been shot multiple times. The end for Malachi Elijah Bainbridge, 19, came at the scene of the crime.
The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that a mandatory minimum sentence of four years for firing a gun at a house is unconstitutional.
The decision comes in the case of Jesse Dallas Hills, who pleaded guilty to four charges stemming from a May 2014 incident in Lethbridge, Alta., in which he swung a baseball bat and shot at a car with a rifle, smashed the window of a vehicle and fired rounds into a family home.
OTTAWA – The Supreme Court of Canada plans to rule today on the constitutionality of mandatory minimum sentences in cases involving armed robbery and recklessly firing a gun.
In one case, Jesse Dallas Hills pleaded guilty to four charges stemming from a May 2014 incident in Lethbridge, Alta., in which he swung a baseball bat and shot at a car with a bolt-action rifle, smashed the window of a vehicle and fired rounds into a family home.
Hills argued the minimum four-year sentence for recklessly discharging a firearm violated the constitutional prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.
It’s been long enough since the highly suspicious death of Jeffrey Epstein in the federal lockup in Manhattan that the very popular meme “Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself” is no longer as pervasive as it once was. But in the interim, the coverup has continued and deepened. Kudos to Tucker Carlson for using the opening segment of his show last night, the highest-rated cable news program, to go over the insulting propositions that federal officials, notably including former AG William Barr, have tried to get the public to accept. Tucker dryly noted that Barr did not accept an invitation to appear on the show to respond.
All five officers who were fired from the Memphis Police Department over the death of Tyre Nichols, who died following a ‘violent’ traffic stop, have been charged.
Each of the officers have been charged, though charges were listed for just three of them.
Justin Smith, Emmitt martin and Tadarrius Bean have been charged with two counts of official misconduct, one count of second-degree murder, official oppression, aggravated assault-act in concert and an additional two counts of aggravated kidnapping.
Alex Murdaugh cried during his murder trial Thursday as police bodycam footage was played in court – while the first police officer on the scene testified the disgraced legal scion appeared to have “no tears” when learning of his wife and son’s deaths.
The footage of the double murder’s aftermath, which was not shared with the broader public, was taken by Colleton County’s Sheriff’s Officer Daniel Greene, who was called as a witness.
After arriving at the family’s Islandton, S.C. home, Greene said he saw the bodies of Murdaugh’s wife Maggie and son Paul surrounded by pools of blood.
This is so bizarre.
The Ontario government is alleging that as much as $75 million in taxpayers’ money was stolen as part of elaborate “kickback schemes” in the awarding of computer contracts.
In a dramatic expansion of the province’s civil case against the ex-bureaucrat accused in the alleged $11 million theft of COVID-19 relief funds, the Crown claims at least nine others are involved in a separate “conspiracy” dating back more than a decade.
“The plaintiff (the Ontario government) paid out approximately $40 million pursuant to FFSCs (fee-for-service contracts) resulting from the kickback schemes. The secret commissions totalled approximately $35 million,” government lawyers say in Ontario Superior Court civil filings.
WTF??
North Korea was behind the theft of $100 million from an American crypto-currency exchange last year, the US government said, part of the Communist regime’s effort to beat sanctions and fund its missile and nuclear weapons programmes.
The FBI said that the Lazarus Group, a hacking organisation believed to be run by the North Korean government, was responsible for the theft last June of $100 million from Harmony’s Horizon, a crypto “bridge” that enables owners of different digital currencies to convert them into one another.
Four 13-year-old boys have been charged in connection with a “swarming” attack on board a TTC bus in Scarborough.
Toronto police said two of the boys are facing one count of assault, while the other two are facing two counts of assault.
The arrests come after CTV News Toronto obtained security footage from a local business that shows at least a dozen people pushing and shoving outside a TTC bus stopped near Kennedy and Merrian roads on Monday at around 3:35 p.m.
Last night’s TV appearance shows she will only protect Epstein’s friends for so long
If nothing else, Ghislaine Behind Bars — Ghislaine Maxwell’s exclusive interview for TalkTV, aired last night — gave an interesting insight into the realities of life in a low-security American prison. We learnt, for instance, that inmates are expected to make their beds “military style” and that the meat-free meal options usually feature either beans or tofu, although the latter is so bereft of seasoning that it is almost unpalatable. Not quite The Shawshank Redemption, then, but not much fun for a woman who has probably never before been tasked with making her own bed.
Two students were killed on Monday and a teacher was injured in what police said was a targeted shooting at a school in Des Moines, Iowa, that is dedicated to helping at-risk youth. Three suspects were arrested.
The shooting was at an educational program called Starts Right Here that is affiliated with the Des Moines school district.
Police say emergency crews were called to the school, which is in a business park, just before 1pm ET. Officers arrived to find two students critically injured, and despite first aid they died at a hospital. The teacher who was injured was in serious condition on Monday afternoon.
A 17-year-old teen from Los Angeles, who was behind a shocking hit-and-run incident in which a mother and her baby who was in a stroller were injured, has been shot dead.
Kristopher Baca was killed in Palmdale, California, dying from gunshot wounds on Wednesday evening as he walked alone on the street.
Baca was sentenced to just seven-months in a juvenile probation camp following the crash on August 6 2021 when he was just 15 years old.
Federal prosecutors in the United States have seized almost $700 million in cash and assets linked to Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange.
The former billionaire, accused of orchestrating one of America’s largest ever financial frauds, is due to face trial in October.
Prosecutors have laid claim to funds and assets connected to Bankman-Fried, including a vast stake in Robinhood Markets, the digital trading platform, worth more than $520 million.
The family of the Toronto man allegedly killed by teen girls in a “swarming” attack have denounced “flaws” in the criminal justice system, criticizing the opacity surrounding youth cases involving serious crimes.
Eight teenage girls have been charged with murder over the death of Ken Lee, who was repeatedly stabbed at a plaza near the main rail station in Canada’s largest city in the early hours of 18 December. Three of the girls are 13, three are 14 and two are 16.
Because of their age, none of the suspects can be identified under Canada’s Youth Criminal Justice Act and few details can be printed by media outlets because of publication bans.
Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes made an ‘attempt to flee the country’ by purchasing a one-way ticket to Mexico departing soon after her conviction last year, federal prosecutors have alleged.
Prosecutors made the dramatic claim in a court filing on Thursday opposing Holmes’ request to remain free on bail as she appeals her conviction and 11-year prison sentence.
