☆ Daniel Perry: Army sergeant who killed a Black Lives Matter protester in Texas is sentenced to 25 years
  + stars: | 2023-05-10 | by ( Eric Levenson Lucy Kafanov Nouran Salahieh | Eric Levenson | Lucy Kafanov | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —A US Army sergeant who was convicted of murdering a protester at a Black Lives Matter rally in 2020 was sentenced to 25 years in prison Wednesday morning – even as Texas’ governor pushes to pardon him. In April, a Texas jury convicted Perry of murder but found him not guilty on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The governor can only pardon Perry if the Board of Pardons and Paroles recommends it, according to Texas law. And in a June 1, 2020, social media comment, Perry compared the Black Lives Matter movement to “a zoo full of monkeys that are freaking out flinging their sh*t,” the documents show. CNN reached out to the governor’s office for comment on the social media posts.

CNN —A US Army sergeant convicted of murdering a protester at Black Lives Matter rally is set to be sentenced Tuesday morning – amid moves from Texas’ governor to pardon him. Perry’s legal team argued his actions were justified as self-defense, saying Foster had approached Perry’s car with an assault-style rifle and motioned for Perry to lower his window. The governor can only pardon Perry if the Board of Pardons and Paroles recommends it, according to Texas law. Broden said Foster also made social media posts advocating for violence and supporting riots, most of which can’t be made public due to Texas discovery rules. CNN reached out to the governor’s office for comment on the social media posts.
☆ OPEC+ just made the Fed's job more complicated. Here's why they did it — and what could be next

The logo of the OPEC is pictured at the OPEC headquarters on October 4, 2022. In October last year, the oil cartel announced its decision to cut output by two million barrels per day. U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has repeatedly lambasted the OPEC+ group for its production cuts, citing the inflationary toll on households and flinging accusations of camaraderie with sanctions-struck Russia. One such technical council, the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee concluded on Monday with a statement that acknowledged the voluntary cuts, making no mention of a broader change in formal production policy. Referring to the voluntary cuts, the OPEC Secretariat said they represent "a precautionary measure aimed at supporting the stability of the oil market."
☆ Trump called E. Jean Carroll's lawyer a 'political operative' and 'a disgrace' during a contentious deposition, and threatened to sue her

Portions of Trump's deposition in E. Jean Carroll's defamation suit were unsealed Friday. In it, he attacks Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, threatening to sue her personally. At another point in the deposition Trump referred to Kaplan as being friends with "Cuomo." Carroll's deposition currently has a trial date set for April 10, but it's unclear if it will make it that far. Carroll initially wasn't able to sue Trump for the alleged assault, because the statute of limitations had expired.

That first morning, DJ woke Bre early, pleading with her to shovel the snow off the hot tub’s cover. The family watched as the Texas boys simmered in the bubbling jets.

[1/4] Nov 5, 2022; Forth Worth, TX, USA; Caroline Garcia (FRA) celebrates winning her match against Daria Kasatkina on day six of the WTA Finals at Dickies Arena. She regained her composure in the second set, bulldozing through the Roland Garros semi-finalist with her trademark aggressive style. The world number five looks tough as ever, after flattening all three of her round robin opponents. It marked the end of a bitterly disappointing WTA Finals debut for 18-year-old Gauff, who was unable to record a win in the group stage.
