CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Oscar Pistorius could be granted parole on Friday after spending nearly 10 years in prison for murder. Serious offenders in South Africa must serve at least half their sentence to be eligible for parole, which Pistorius has done. Prosecutors argued that Steenkamp had fled to the toilet cubicle during a late-night argument and Pistorius killed her in a rage. Steenkamp’s mother, June Steenkamp, will not oppose Pistorius’ parole, her lawyer said in a message to The Associated Press. June Steenkamp attended Pistorius’ first parole hearing in March to oppose Pistorius' release but will not attend on Friday, said her lawyer, Tania Koen.

Humanity’s first contact with tiny quasi-intelligent robots felt fresh and believable to the video game producer Marek Markuszewski as he devoured “The Invincible,” Stanislaw Lem’s 1964 science fiction novel, in two evenings. Its precise descriptions of force fields and antimatter cannons seemed ready-made for the screen. “This is great material for a major game,” Markuszewski said he thought at the time, while he was working for the developer CD Projekt Red. But it was a challenge Markuszewski embraced after cofounding the Polish studio Starward Industries, which has adapted Lem’s work for its debut game, The Invincible. (It releases on Monday for the PC, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S.)

Threads is struggling to retain users, and X is losing popularity among some Gen Zers. Two Gen Zers say social media is about building an online community with those who share your views. When Threads first launched, some Gen Zers shared their excitement for Threads' potential to be the "go-to social media platform for venting and sharing among Gen Z." Insider contacted more Gen Zers to learn their opinions on Threads and find out what attracts them to the apps they use daily. Rose said the text-based X app is for her inner thoughts, while image-based Instagram is for catching up with old friends.

LONDON — Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey pleaded not guilty in a London court on Friday to seven more sex offense charges, denying a number of alleged sexual assaults against one man between 2001 and 2004. Spacey, 63, appeared at Southwark Crown Court by videolink charged with one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent, three counts of indecent assault and three counts of sexual assault. The actor — wearing a dark jacket, white shirt and pink tie — spoke only to confirm his name as Kevin Spacey Fowler and enter seven not guilty pleas during the brief hearing. Judge Mark Wall agreed to join the seven-count indictment to an earlier five-count indictment, which features four counts of sexual assault and one of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent. Spacey pleaded not guilty to those five charges last July.
☆ Jury tells filmmaker Paul Haggis to pay $10M total in rape suit
  + stars: | 2022-11-15 | by ( The Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +3 min
While accuser Haleigh Breest’s lawyers called the verdict just, Haggis insisted that he had been falsely accused and was financially ruined by fighting the civil case. Breest, a publicist, said Haggis raped her and forced her to perform oral sex in his New York apartment on Jan. 31, 2013. Jurors returned to court Monday to hear testimony about Haggis’ finances and decide how much more he’d have to pay. Breest’s lawyers questioned Haggis’ claims of being broke. After the verdict, he said the jury “did the right thing.” Jurors left court without commenting.
