The new judge overseeing next year's trial of the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students has moved back its tentative start date to August from June. Ada County District Court Judge Steven Hippler's order, dated Tuesday, comes after suspect Bryan Kohberger made his first appearance in a Boise court on Sept. 26. The judge wants the trial to begin Aug. 11 and said it could run through Nov. 7, including a penalty phase if Kohberger is convicted. At the hearing, Hippler set the ground rules for defense lawyers and Latah County prosecutors as they navigate his courtroom in the high-profile case. A potential motive remains unclear, and Kohberger's defense denies he was involved.

MILWAUKEE — Pete Alonso hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off closer Devin Williams in the ninth inning and the New York Mets beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on Thursday night to win their NL Wild Card Series. With their latest thrilling comeback in the decisive Game 3 against Milwaukee, the Mets advanced in the playoffs for the first time since winning the 2015 National League pennant. New York went 6-7 against the Phillies during the regular season and finished six games behind them in the division standings. The Mets were 22-33 in late May but played as well as anyone in baseball the rest of the regular season. David Peterson, making his first relief appearance of the season, worked the ninth to pick up his first major league save.

Erik Menendez was 18 and Lyle Menendez was 21 when their parents were fatally shot in 1989. “My hope is that Erik and Lyle Menendez’s life sentences are reconsidered,” Kardashian says. Actor Cooper Koch, who plays Erik Menendez in the Netflix series, joined her. Erik Menendez, now 53, had earlier slammed the Netflix series’ dramatized portrayal of his and his brothers’ lives as “blatant lies” and accused the show’s creator, Ryan Murphy, of purposefully creating a caricature of Lyle Menendez, now 56. Kardashian acknowledged in her essay that the brothers’ crimes “are not excusable” and that neither was their behavior after the murders.

The lead detective in the case, Brian Wharton, accepted the shaken baby syndrome diagnosis, and Roberson was arrested before an autopsy was even completed. Shifting scienceThe concept of shaken baby syndrome began in the 1970s. Hundreds of possible shaken baby and abusive head trauma cases are reported to hospitals in the U.S. every year, according to a nonprofit advocacy group. A Mississippi man on death row for a shaken baby diagnosis was resentenced to life in prison in 2018 after evidence was re-examined. "The shaken baby concept did not add up," Sween said.

Angel Mitchell was in knots Friday morning at the eastern Tennessee hospital where her 83-year-old mother had been admitted days earlier for pneumonia. People evacuate Unicoi County Hospital due to unusually high and rising water from the Nolichucky River. Mitchell said her mother was fastened to a gurney and hoisted up, then taken to another hospital. During that last hour, a panic attack set in as she thought about her mother. Mitchell said she's grateful everyone at the hospital survived, but on Monday, her mother received another devastating diagnosis — that she has colon cancer.

A coalition of reproductive rights organizations is unleashing a $15 million advertising campaign backing abortion rights as Arizona faces a key ballot measure on the issue this fall. The ad blitz from Arizona for Abortion Access includes broadcast, streaming, radio and mail advertisements that will blanket the state through Election Day — and as early voting kicks off in the state on Oct. 9. The group has spent about $2 million on advertising in the last two months, according to the tracking firm AdImpact. The ad is Arizona for Abortion Access’ second spot on the Arizona airwaves. Abortion is legal in Arizona up to 15 weeks and then beyond that, for medical emergencies, any medical emergency,” Dahlgren said.

Jon-Adrian Velazquez spent close to 27 years caught in the criminal justice system — nearly all of it behind bars in New York's Sing Sing prison, convicted of a murder he insisted he did not commit. Andrew Cuomo granted Velazquez executive clemency, citing his work in Sing Sing on an educational initiative by those incarcerated to combat gun violence, and he was freed after serving almost 24 years of a 25-year-to-life sentence. The results determined Velazquez's DNA was not on the key evidence. Since his release from prison, Velazquez has used his experience to become an advocate for criminal legal reform and even played himself in the 2023 drama "Sing Sing," based on an actual Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at the prison. The podcast "Letters from Sing Sing" was a finalist for a 2024 Pulitzer Prize in audio reporting and Slepian's book about the case, "The Sing Sing Files: One Journalist, Six Innocent Men, and a Twenty-Year Fight for Justice," was released this month.

An OSHA spokesperson said in a response to NBC News that the agency did forward his safety allegations to the Coast Guard, which has the jurisdiction to investigate such claims. The Coast Guard also noted at the start of the hearing that the Titan never underwent an independent review, which is standard practice in the industry. “If the Coast Guard became a problem, then he would buy himself a congressman and make it go away,” McCoy said, adding that he resigned soon after. Rush “said the usual response that ‘it takes too long,’” Kohnen testified about getting OceanGate’s submersible classified by the industry. In a transcript of the conversation made public by the Coast Guard as part of the hearing, Rush denied he was going to put anyone at risk with the Titan.

Two years after an Alabama prisoner was spared when staff members struggled to execute him by lethal injection, officials plan to try again Thursday — using the rare method of nitrogen gas. He filed a federal lawsuit in March seeking to halt his execution, citing the state's past execution failures and concerns that the method of nitrogen hypoxia would add pain and prolong death. "The resolution of this case confirms that Alabama's nitrogen hypoxia system is reliable and humane," Marshall said in a previous statement. Alabama officials have insisted in court filings that nitrogen hypoxia is "painless because it causes unconsciousness in seconds" and death within minutes. "Whether by lethal injection or nitrogen suffocation, the myth of the 'humane execution' is a lie fewer and fewer people believe," Foa said in a statement.

A private Facebook group that he founded, Michigan Preppers, has nearly 18,000 members, up from about 8,000 since the Covid pandemic. He attributes the growth to a feeling of turmoil during President Joe Biden’s term. “If Trump isn’t elected, I’m thinking we’re either looking at a military coup or we’re looking at a second civil war,” said the part-time steel company worker. “I don’t recognize this country. I don’t recognize this world,” said Michael Clark, a Trump supporter who lives in a rural community of fewer than 1,000 people near Lake Michigan.

☆ Kamala Harris is a gun owner. Here is what we know

“I am a gun owner, and I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do – for personal safety,” Harris, then a California senator, told reporters in Iowa. Harris’ office declined to share what year she first became a gun owner or any other details about the firearm and her ownership of it. But she did not run from her values on assault rifles and assault weapons,” the adviser said. Trump, Harris’ Republican opponent, is also a self-proclaimed gun owner. Walz, the Minnesota governor and Harris’ running mate, is also a gun owner.

OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, left, and pilot Randy Holt dive in the company's submersible Antipodes in 2013. But Rush still had him inspect the Titan as it was nearing completion in early 2018, Lochridge said. The five people killed when the Titan submersible imploded in June 2023, clockwise from top left: Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Stockton Rush, and Suleman and Shahzada Dawood. Lochridge testified Tuesday that he told Rush he shouldn't be in charge of that trip, but the CEO was adamant. (The submersible had gained attention when it was unveiled the previous year because it used a PlayStation controller for piloting.)

The Titan submersible plunged thousands of feet down the forbidding depths of the North Atlantic Ocean in search of the Titanic wreck site when it imploded, killing all five on board. OceanGate came under heavy scrutiny as a result of the disaster — an almost unheard-of occurrence in the submersible industry. But after the Titan didn’t return at its scheduled time, the Polar Prince contacted the Coast Guard. The suit remains ongoing, and a former OceanGate engineering director, Tony Nissen, named as a defendant, is expected to appear Monday at the Coast Guard hearing. “The Titan submersible did not just go down with its inventor — it went down with paying passengers.”

Bryan Kohberger, the man accused in the murders of four University of Idaho students, was transported by plane Sunday morning from the Idaho county where he was being jailed to another county where his trial will be held. Latah County District Judge John Judge had ruled in favor of lawyers for Kohberger, 29, who argued a trial in Latah County would be unfair because of the intense pretrial publicity creating a "mob mentality" against the defendant. "While the issue of extensive, sensationalized coverage is not unique to Latah County," Judge added, "it is potentially more impactful given the volume of coverage coupled with the smaller population." Despite the change, Latah County prosecutors and Kohberger's public defenders are expected to remain through the trial. Some of the victims' families have expressed frustration over the trial's delay and had pressed for the case to remain in Latah County so that its residents could represent the jury.

A grueling manhunt for the suspect wanted in a highway shooting spree stretched into its fifth day as authorities said they believe he retreated deep into a forested swath of southeastern Kentucky with no indication he has fled elsewhere. “There’s so many people that have eyes on this investigation around the world that now we should have gotten a pretty good tip that he exited the woods,” Pennington told reporters 72 hours into the operation. Amid the search, authorities went to his home in Woodbine, about 23 miles from the shooting site, to collect evidence. The search by foot remains daunting, Pennington said, as temperatures have stayed above 80 degrees during the day. “I hope he doesn’t have water, and I hope he doesn’t have food," Pennington said at a news conference Tuesday.

The trial of the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students will be moved out of the county where the killings took place in late 2022, a judge ruled in a decision released Monday. Latah County District Judge John Judge heard arguments last month about whether the trial of Bryan Kohberger, tentatively set for next June, should be moved to Ada County, about 300 miles south and home to Idaho’s capital, Boise. Judge did not immediately specify the new location in granting a different venue, which he said was based on “presumed prejudice” if the trial remains in Latah County. A new judge is expected to be brought onto the case once it moves, although it’s unclear when the Idaho Supreme Court could decide on the judge and venue. Latah County prosecutors will remain on the case through the trial.

☆ The Iberian lynx is back from the brink. Now virtual fences could save it from becoming roadkill
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-05 | by ( Victoria Barauna | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Sound and lightYet, the IUCN acknowledges that the Iberian lynx remains threatened. In the 1980s, roadkill played a key role in lynx mortality in the Doñana area (a prominent spot for the Iberian lynx) accounting for almost 17% of deaths. That may not sound like much, but Breitenmoser explains that given that lynx populations were critically endangered at the time, the impact was significant. Ortiz says that in a five-year timeframe, almost €4.5 million ($5 million) will be spent on improving habitats and nearly €2.9 million ($3.2 million) on boosting connectivity, including virtual fences. Innovation aside, for Ortiz the future of the Iberian lynx depends on co-operation.

Rancho Palos Verdes, a coastal community in the Los Angeles area, could be described as a geological ticking time bomb. The affluent city sits atop steep cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean that, for hundreds of years, have been slowly shifting and giving way. Whereas the ground slid downward 8 inches annually in years past, it has lurched 13 inches per week in some places between July and August. The Palos Verdes Peninsula is composed of weak rocks and beds of clay that prevent water from draining properly belowground. So during periods of heavy rain or high tectonic activity, the bluffs can slip, turning constant, slow-moving landslides into catastrophes.

Janet Mills launched the commission a month after the Oct. 25 shooting killed 18 people at a bowling alley and a bar. Wathen said the commission's investigatory process was slowed by Army bureaucracy in obtaining information but that the military remained cooperative. But the sergeant said law enforcement was stymied at the time because Card refused to answer his door. There were also communication gaps between the Army and the civilian hospital, the report found, which can be improved in future cases. The military in its report denied that any brain-related injury was linked to his military service.

Opening statements finally began in November 2023, after several defendants had already taken plea deals while others chose to be tried separately from Young Thug. She denied the various mistrial motions and a new request for Young Thug to be released on bond. Young Thug first gained mainstream success with his 2014 drug anthem “Stoner” and has worked with artists such as Travis Scott, Post Malone, Meek Mill and Drake.

But the state Constitution allows Flanagan to assume the governorship if Walz, for whatever reason, vacates office. The Native vote helped Joe Biden secure a win against Trump in the state in 2020.
