But prosecutors had no direct evidence tying Black to the location of the murder, an Ohio appellate court later said. In many cases, prosecutors themselves don't even have access to the source code and haven't reviewed the underlying technology. Back in Akron, the judge in Rankin's case ordered the Cybercheck evidence excluded after prosecutors failed to turn over the source code. The Summit County Prosecutor's Office declined to comment when reached by BI. It's unclear how many others may be behind bars because of Cybercheck evidence that was never rigorously scrutinized.

KENNEBUNK, Maine (AP) — As long as they still have each other, they're still going to go to every Super Bowl. That's the sentiment shared by three friends who say they are the final fans who can claim membership in the exclusive “never missed a Super Bowl” club. They're part of an ever-dwindling group of people who have attended every Super Bowl that has also included media members, football executives, groundskeepers and others. Norma Hunt, wife of late football pioneer Lamar Hunt, was the sole woman to attend every Super Bowl until she died in June.

CNN —Seemingly not content to dominate only the college basketball scene, Caitlin Clark stole the show at a PGA Tour event this week. Three months on, the popularity of Clark – who will be eligible for the WNBA Draft in 2024 – shows no sign of waning. A fellow Iowan, Johnson praised Clark for her “transcendent” basketball talents, but drew particular attention to her character. “I can’t speak highly enough about how she handles herself, whether it’s in interviews or just the way she goes about her work. This is not an off day for me, but it is something I really, really enjoy and love getting to do this.

The pre-pandemic "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" raked in over $35 million during its first three days of release and went on to win the 2019 Oscar for best animated feature film.

Brian Tyree Henry Photo: FX NetworksHollywood and its offspring have cozied up to the FBI—often to their mutual satisfaction—since “G-Men” of 1935. Under fire for its catalog of gangster films, Warner Brothers simply flipped the script: James Cagney went from public enemy to federal investigator, J. Edgar Hoover ’s infant agency got the star treatment, and the studio looked righteous while raking it in. Class of ’09 Begins Wednesday, HuluYes, the relationship has had its ups and downs—suspicions, infidelities, trial separations. But there’s always a reunion, with the FBI being portrayed as an agency in which wayward people are an aberration, and the stalwart agents of fiction keep the faith. It may be a problematic symbiosis, but it never seems to totally collapse, not even in “Class of ’09.”

The Indianapolis Colts — who have relied on past-their-prime quarterbacks (Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan) or reclamation projects (Carson Wentz) since Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement before the 2019 season — selected Florida’s Anthony Richardson with the fourth pick. The Seattle Seahawks possessed two first-round picks because of last year’s Russell Wilson trade, which has become like an overflowing gift basket for them. The Seahawks selected Illinois cornerback Devon Witherspoon fifth overall and Ohio State receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba 20th overall. Smith-Njigba caught 95 passes in 2021 but battled a hamstring injury throughout last season. The Las Vegas Raiders selected Texas Tech defensive lineman Tyree Wilson with the seventh pick.

The Raleigh, N.C., police department placed six officers on administrative leave in connection with the January arrest of a Black man who died in police custody after officers used a Taser on him, according to a memo and body-camera footage released by the department. Darryl Tyree Williams, 32 years old, was approached by police while in a parked car with a passenger late at night, according to a memo with a preliminary report of the incident written by Raleigh Police Chief Estella D. Patterson to Raleigh City Manager Marchell Adams-David that was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Body-camera footage shows that while detained and scuffling with police, he told them he had heart problems. After officers used a Taser on him at least three times, he became unresponsive and was pronounced dead at a hospital later that night, according to the memo.

☆ This startup turning human waste into fertilizer just raised $7.5 million. Here's the 17-slide pitch deck Wasted used to raise the fresh funds.

Wasted is making fertilizer out of urine and just raised $7.5 million in fresh funding. Wasted, which he created alongside Taylor Zehren and Thor Retzlaff, is redesigning the porta-potty to ultimately turn human waste into agriculture fertilizer. At least 40 wastewater treatment plants were damaged as a result of the 2017 hurricane Harvey, which saw raw sewage spill out onto streets. Nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium are common fertilizers found in human waste but are typically extracted from the earth for use. There is a long history of some countries using untreated or partially-treated human waste as fertilizer.

While the Golden Globes brought several notable nominations and wins for Black performers in television and film, this year’s Oscar nominations look very different. “Till,” starring Danielle Deadwyler as Mamie Till-Mobley, chronicles the 14-year-old’s mother during her quest for justice after her child was brutally murdered. The film earned no Academy Award nominations. “Wakanda Forever” also failed to match the best picture nod earned by 2018’s “Black Panther” — the first superhero movie nominated for the top Oscar. Bassett is also the second oldest Black woman ever nominated for an acting Oscar, behind supporting actress nominee Ruby Dee, who appeared in 2007’s “American Gangster.”

But in these shows, the South and its characters refuse the bumpkin stereotypes and embrace all the aspects of the South. “There are whole ways in which we are having to reimagine Blackness in the South,” Durham said. “We’re actually invited to see what the experiences are of the people who produce the culture,” Durham said.
