Read previewA fishing boat about a mile off the coast of New Hampshire capsized on Tuesday after a humpback whale came out of the water and smashed into it, according to video of the incident. "So no attack by the humpback whale, just an unfortunate accident for both the whale and fisherman," he said, adding the whale may not have even realized the boat was there. Smith, who studies humpback whale behavior, said lunging for fish is a very common behavior for the species. AdvertisementAs for the humpback in the video, the whale may have been injured when it crashed into the boat. Vessel collisions remain a threat to humpback whales, though typically, strikes by larger ships pose the greatest risk.

CNN —Is Karen Read a rage-filled cop killer, or the convenient patsy of a vast police cover-up? That’s the question put to a Massachusetts jury on Tuesday in closing arguments of her murder trial in a case that has riveted the Bay State. After closing arguments Tuesday morning, the jury began deliberations at about 1:30 p.m. and continued for about three hours. A drunken Read then struck him with the vehicle and fled, leaving him to die in the snowy cold, prosecutors say. “Lie, obfuscate, manipulate, alter, and when they’re caught, they just excuse it away,” Jackson said in closing arguments.
