☆ California man convicted for smuggling Byzantine-era Hercules mosaic
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-01 | by ( Zoe Sottile | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —A California man has been convicted for illegally importing an ancient floor mosaic, believed to have been made in modern-day Syria nearly two thousand years ago and valued at almost half a million dollars. The ancient artwork arrived at the port in Long Beach as part of a shipment from Turkey in August 2015. Alcharihi only paid about $12,000 for the antiquity, which an appraisal expert valued at $450,000, according to the US Attorney’s Office. The mosaic weighs a whopping 2,000 pounds and is about 15-feet long and 8-feet tall, according to the release. Alcharihi’s false declarations about the mosaic came just months after the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution condemning the destruction of cultural heritage in Syria.

“One of the things I would want to do as president is go to Congress and seek the repeal of the First Step Act. “At no point, as a congressman or as governor, has Ron DeSantis ever supported the final version of the First Step Act,” DeSantis campaign press secretary Bryan Griffin told CNN in an email. His rapid response director, Christina Pushaw – one of the bill’s strongest critics – once strongly backed Trump on criminal justice reform. DeSantis pointed to the First Step Act as a potential model for prison reform and re-entry programs in Florida. “We, I think, need to look at after seeing what the federal government did with the prison reform and how to do some re-entry,” the governor said.

☆ Jeffrey Epstein likely rehearsed his suicide on July 23, but he was still left to accomplish the real thing weeks later, federal inspectors found
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-27 | by ( Michelle Mark | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Jeffrey Epstein likely rehearsed his suicide weeks before he died, an inspector's report says. Epstein was placed on suicide watch, but was later left unmonitored and with excess linens in his cell. The report documented a number of errors from jail staff, including "significant misconduct." The jail's chief psychologist had determined Epstein likely rehearsed his suicide in the early morning hours on July 23, 2019. Epstein initially told staff his cellmate had tried to kill him, but the cellmate told staff that he felt something hit his legs while he was asleep.

☆ Clarence Thomas: Appellate judge defends justice in new book, rejects 'pot shots' at Supreme Court

CNN —A federal appeals court judge previously on short lists for the Supreme Court is taking the rare step to broadly and publicly reject allegations that Justice Clarence Thomas has been improperly influenced by lavish gifts provided by a conservative billionaire, dismissing “pot shots” at the Supreme Court in general. Thapar this past week released a new book about Thomas entitled “The People’s Justice,” in which he explores the justice’s favored judicial philosophy of originalism. “You can judge their works, and what they do, against what they’ve done in the past,” Thapar told CNN. Ethics and financial disclosuresThapar rejects suggestions that Thomas should have disclosed the hospitality provided by Crow on annual financial disclosure forms. They have called Justice Thomas ‘the cruelest justice,’ ‘stupid,’ and even an ‘Uncle Tom’ a traitor to his race,” Thapar writes.

A former FBI analyst was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for keeping classified documents at her home. She had unlawfully kept about 386 classified documents, according to the Justice Department. In her training, Kingsbury was warned that classified information could only be kept in an "approved facility and container," the DOJ wrote. Each count of willfully retaining national defense secrets alone carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Kingsbury pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawfully retaining documents related to the national defense in October.

June 20 (Reuters) - Hunter Biden, the son of U.S. President Joe Biden, has agreed to plead guilty to two tax charges and enter an agreement that may allow him to avoid a conviction on a firearm offense, according to court filings on Tuesday. WILLFUL FAILURE TO PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAXHunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, according to court papers. He is charged with twice failing to pay over $100,000 in income tax. The amounts stem from over $1.5 million in taxable income Biden received in 2017 and again in 2018, according to the court papers. Biden is entering a pretrial diversion agreement on the firearm charge, prosecutors said in a letter to the court on Tuesday.

☆ Hunter Biden's jail-free plea deal isn't the end of his legal troubles

Hunter Biden's criminal plea deal still needs approval from a judge — which isn't guaranteed. The plea deal, however, still must be approved by a judge. Most plea deals skate through court without any problems, but judges do occasionally reject plea deals in high-profile cases. With a plea deal, prosecutors bind themselves to recommend a particular sentence. It's unusual for a judge to reject a plea deal if the sentencing recommendations are too harsh.

☆ Minneapolis police face federal oversight for excessive force, discrimination
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( Jonathan Allen | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

June 16 (Reuters) - Police in Minneapolis routinely use excessive force and discriminate against Black and Native American people, the U.S. Justice Department said on Friday after a two-year investigation prompted by the police killing of George Floyd. The city has agreed to what will likely be years of federal oversight as it works to reform the Minneapolis Police Department, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in announcing the findings. "We found that the Minneapolis Police Department routinely uses excessive force, often when no force is necessary, including unjust deadly force and unreasonable use of Tasers," Garland said at a press conference at the city's federal courthouse. Frey and other Minneapolis officials will negotiate an agreement with the Justice Department known as a consent decree in which a federal judge will oversee the city's progress in reforming the police department. The department has negotiated similar federal oversight agreements in other cities, including Ferguson in Missouri, Baltimore and Cleveland.

☆ Elizabeth Holmes objects to government requesting she pay $250 a month to victims after prison
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Catherine Thorbecke | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced former Theranos CEO, has “limited financial means” and should not be forced to pay $250 a month to victims of her crimes after she is released from prison, her lawyers argued in a court filing on Monday. The move from Holmes’ attorneys comes after federal prosecutors said in a separate filing last week that “clerical errors” had resulted in no payment schedule being set for Holmes’ restitution after she is released from prison. Holmes and former Theranos COO Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani were previously ordered to pay $452 million in restitution to victims of their crimes. Holmes reported to prison late last month in Texas to serve out her more than 11-year sentence. As part of the original restitution order, some $125 million is owed to media mogul Rupert Murdoch, as well as millions in payments to other Theranos investors.

The timing of the photograph was noteworthy: One day earlier, the aide, Walt Nauta, had been notified by the government that he was a target of a federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s handling of classified documents, suggesting that charges against Mr. Nauta were likely. On Friday, prosecutors unsealed those charges. Mr. Nauta, a 40-year-old Navy veteran, was charged with conspiracy, making false statements and withholding documents as part of Mr. Trump’s effort to thwart the government’s attempts to reclaim the classified documents Mr. Trump had taken with him when he left the White House. Mr. Nauta’s story is, among other things, a cautionary tale about what loyalty to Mr. Trump can bring. After serving his country in the military and serving as a valet in the White House, Mr. Nauta stayed with Mr. Trump as a personal aide — and now faces the prospect of years in federal prison for having apparently carried out his wishes.

☆ Newspapers Printed Unabomber’s Manifesto in 1995. It’s Still Fiercely Debated.
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-11 | by ( Lydia Depillis | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +2 min

But if they gave in to the threat, how did the newspapers know the bomber would keep his word — or whether other terrorists would make such demands in the future? In September of that year, at the urging of the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the newspapers decided to publish. The manifesto provided critical clues to his identity, and six months and two weeks later, the Unabomber — Theodore Kaczynski, who died in a federal prison cell on Saturday — was captured. But to many in the profession, acceding to Mr. Kaczynski’s demands set a terrible precedent, undermining journalistic independence and doing the bidding of law enforcement. “They really made a pact with the devil when they have no control ultimately over what he will do or not do.”

The infamous Unabomber Ted Kaczynski has died at age 81. "I'm confident that I'm sane," Kaczynski told Time magazine in 1999. David Kaczynski wanted his role kept confidential, but his identity quickly leaked out and Ted Kaczynski vowed never to forgive his younger sibling. Ted Kaczynski was born May 22, 1942, in Chicago, the son of second-generation Polish Catholics — a sausage-maker and a homemaker. His brother fired him and Ted Kaczynski soon returned to the wilderness to continue plotting his vengeful killing spree.

☆ Kaczynski Died by Suicide in Prison, Sources Say

Theodore J. Kaczynski, the “Unabomber,” who killed three people and injured 23 in a bombing spree stretching from 1978 to 1995, died by suicide at a federal prison medical center in North Carolina early Saturday, according to three people familiar with the situation. Emergency workers were called to Mr. Kaczynski’s cell at 12:23 a.m. at the Federal Medical Center, Butner, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Attempts to revive him in the prison and in an ambulance were unsuccessful, and he was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, officials said. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina confirmed in an email that it conducts autopsies of deaths at the federal medical center in Butner, but offered no timetable for when one might be completed for Mr. Kaczynski. The circumstances of his suicide are unclear, and it is uncertain whether prison officials could have done more to ensure his safety.

A spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons said Mr. Kaczynski was found unresponsive in his cell early in the morning. The cause of death was not immediately known. The bureau had announced his transfer to the medical facility in 2021. Mr. Kaczynski traced a singular path in American life: lonely boy genius to Harvard-trained star of pure mathematics, to rural recluse, to notorious murderer, to imprisoned extremist. In the public eye, he fused two styles of violence: the periodic targeting of the demented serial killer, and the ideological fanaticism of the terrorist.

CNN —Theodore “Ted” Kaczynski, the Harvard-trained math professor who unleashed a deadly bombing campaign from a shack in rural Montana and became known as the “Unabomber,” has died, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. In 2021, Kaczynski was moved to the federal medical center in North Carolina, according to the bureau. Elaine Thompson/APPortrayed by prosecutors as a vengeful loner, Kaczynski published 30,000-word treatise that became known as the Unabomber Manifesto. “Justice has been done, and Theodore Kaczynski will never threaten anyone again,” Attorney General Janet Reno said in a statement at the time. Its similarity to letters he sent to his family alerted his brother, who made the decision to turn Kaczynski in.

☆ America has lost half its public companies since the 1990s. Here’s why
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-09 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Why it matters: The count of publicly listed companies traded on US exchanges has fallen substantially from its peak in 1996. It’s not that America has half as many companies as 30 years ago – it’s that companies are increasingly staying private, largely outside the scrutiny of the public eye. Publicly listed companies are subject to regulatory oversight and disclosure requirements, which help ensure transparency and maintain investor confidence. “I think it’s natural that companies would delay going public when valuations get halved and investors are not enthusiastic about investing in new companies,” said Kennedy. Some private equity funds have even taken advantage of the bear market to buy up publicly traded companies.
