| | | | | Breaking Updates | | Hunter Biden trial: Jury selection kicks off, some dismissed for opinions on guns or the Bidens | Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is facing trial in Wilmington, Delaware, on three firearms-related charges. The trial, overseen by U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika, comes amid jury selection, where over 50 potential jurors have been examined. Most have remained in the pool, although some were dismissed due to strong opinions on gun ownership or personal connections to the Biden family. | The trial marks the first instance of a sitting president's progeny facing legal proceedings. Notably, this unfolds shortly after former President Donald Trump's conviction in his New York hush money case. Despite being the son of the president, Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty, and the White House has stated that President Biden will not pardon him if convicted. | Jury selection involves peremptory strikes from both defense and government attorneys, with the trial expected to last approximately two weeks. The case's significance extends beyond legal matters, drawing attention as a rare instance in American political history. | Read more updates here |

| | Lyle Menendez, who shotgunned parents to death with brother, plans for life after prison amid new appeal | Lyle Menendez, one of the notorious Menendez brothers who infamously killed their parents in 1989, made a rare public appearance via phone call from prison during a true crime conference. Lyle, along with his brother Erik, burst into their parents' Beverly Hills home with shotguns, resulting in the deaths of their parents, Jose and Mary "Kitty" Menendez. They claimed it was in self-defense, alleging their father subjected them to sexual and physical abuse. | Despite being sentenced to life without parole, both brothers are now seeking reduced sentences under a new California law. Lyle, during the conference call, revealed his aspirations for life after prison, including pursuing a master's degree and working on reintegrating into society. He expressed interest in transforming prison yards into better living environments and forming therapy groups for inmates who have experienced childhood trauma. | Additionally, Lyle disclosed his plans to use his upcoming master's degree in urban planning to aid his reentry into society if his sentence is reduced. He expressed gratitude for the support received over the years and emphasized his belief in deserving a second chance. The brothers' attorneys argue they should have been convicted of manslaughter instead of murder, a contention that, if successful, could potentially lead to their release from prison. | Click Here to Read More |
