Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. makes an announcement on the future of his campaign in Phoenix, Arizona, U.S. August 23, 2024. The Supreme Court overturned the state's Court of Appeals ruling Friday that had removed Kennedy from the state's ballot against the wishes of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. "Thus, [Kennedy] has not shown an entitlement to this extraordinary relief," the court majority said in its ruling. The dissenters in their last words underscored how significant the majority ruling could be to the outcome of the presidential race. As in Michigan, Kennedy sued officials in those two other states seeking to drop his name from their ballots.

It could have happened, too, to Nigel Ford, who became briefly famous for hitting a woman's car in an angry showdown over a parking spot. But, she told Business Insider, she didn't want to judge her employee for a clip spreading online. "He told me that he was waiting for a parking spot, and someone swooped in and got it," Saunders-Green said of Ford. "It pissed me off because, number one, I'm 50 years old and menopausal, and I'm a Black woman," Saunders-Green said. Danesh said he didn't watch Saunders-Green's video and has "no interest" in it, though he said she has every right to her opinion.

"Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli must surrender his Wu-Tang Clan album copies by Friday, a judge has ordered. The order is a victory for an NFT collective that bought the original "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin." The collective sued Shkreli after saying he boasted of sending copies to "chicks" and receiving sexual favors. AdvertisementA federal judge in Brooklyn has ordered "Pharma bro" Martin Shkreli to surrender all copies of his supposedly one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album by noon on Friday. The new preliminary order by Judge Pamela K. Chen, first reported in artnet, is the latest development in that lawsuit.

☆ Judge declines to dismiss murder case against Karen Read after July mistrial

— A Massachusetts judge has declined to dismiss two charges, including murder, in the case of Karen Read, who is blamed in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend. Read is accused of ramming into John O’Keefe with her SUV and leaving him for dead in a January 2022 snowstorm. Her two-month trial ended in July when jurors declared they were hopelessly deadlocked and a judge declared a mistrial on the fifth day of deliberations. Judge Beverly Cannone’s decision, released on Friday, means the case can move forward to a new trial set to begin Jan. 27. She could poll the jury, Weinberg said, on whether they reached a verdict on the three counts or bring in the four jurors to be questioned anonymously.

☆ A judge who overturned a $72 million verdict against Boeing disclosed he bought and sold Boeing stock while hearing the case — but says his wife's IRA was to blame
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-21 | by ( Jack Newsham | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Judge James Robart told Business Insider a bank that managed his wife's individual retirement account purchased Boeing stock in April 2023. He said as soon as he learned about it, he had the stocks sold; his financial disclosures said the shares were sold on two dates in May and June. Based on the prices that Boeing shares traded at on the days her IRA bought and sold the shares, at least one of the two sales was a money-loser, while the second could have been profitable. He and his family disposed of their Boeing shares more than a year before that decision. The amount of Boeing stock traded isn't much compared with Robart's total wealth.

☆ Opinion | The Google Antitrust Case Must Not End With a Slap on the Wrist
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-13 | by ( Tim Wu | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

A federal judge held last week that Google has a monopoly on online search and has been illegally defending that monopoly for years. The verdict is important and correct, yet it leaves open an important question: What should the remedy be? The government’s case centered on payments, which in 2021 totaled more than $26 billion, that Google pays Apple and others to be the default search engine on their products. In doing so, Google kept Apple out of the search market and, the judge ruled, weakened its other competitors. But if the court merely decrees that Google now abandon those agreements, it won’t be enough to unlock a long-monopolized market.

"You are not to concern yourself with this change," Whitaker told the jury. 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. If found guilty, Young Thug and his co-defendants faced prison sentences of five to 20 years on the various charges.

U.S. equity futures fell on Sunday evening as investors braced for key inflation data, after almost completely reversing its violent market rout last week. S&P 500 futures dipped 0.08% and Nasdaq 100 futures inched lower by 0.05%. Fear often works in our favor as stock market investors. "Another round of good [inflation] data could help calm fears that the Fed is potentially losing the plot," Cox said. "Retail sales and retailer earnings may show that fears of a job market slowdown are overblown," she added.

Her friends also didn't lose out on any money when she decided to have a solo bachelorette trip since they had not put deposits down anywhere before Torres changed her mind. She said she was apprehensive about spending time alone before she went on the trip, as the bachelorette marked her first solo vacation.

The end of GARM marks a temporary victory for Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino, even though a judge hasn’t made a ruling yet. “Everyone can see that advertising on X is a treacherous business relationship for advertisers,” they said. Following that, brands’ faced issues where their ads were placed next to illegal or harmful content, the group said in a statement.

Wednesday’s pretrial hearing, which has been scheduled for months, followed a whiplash decision by Austin to revoke a plea deal that had been announced just two days prior last week. “What he did was illegal,” Eugene Fidell, who teaches military justice at Yale University and co-founded the National Institute of Military Justice, told CNN. But Sowards argued Wednesday that by revoking the deal, Austin was actually doing more harm to the families. While the terms of the pretrial agreement had not been released publicly, among them was the assurance that the detainees would answer questions by 9/11 victim family members. Sowards said family members had already “been submitting questions in good faith,” and expecting answers in return as part of the deal.

Over the decades he spent in prison, sentenced to life for a fatal shooting in 1990, Christopher Dunn faced one obstacle after another as he sought to clear his name. A Missouri judge had exonerated Mr. Dunn and ordered his release from prison. Dressed in a jacket and tie, Mr. Dunn was signing the last bit of paperwork when he overheard the warden taking a call, saying, “We were just about to release him — what do you want me to do?”The state attorney general, Andrew Bailey, had intervened to keep Mr. Dunn, 52, behind bars. He was ordered to change back into his prison uniform and returned to his cell, leaving the St. Louis prosecutor, who had asked the court to clear Mr. Dunn, scrambling to free him. Mr. Bailey, who took office 17 months ago to fill out his predecessor’s term, is trying to fend off a formidable challenger as he seeks a full four-year term as the state’s top law enforcement officer.

NEW ORLEANS — Distinct minority groups cannot join together in coalitions to claim their votes are diluted in redistricting cases under the Voting Rights Act, a divided federal appeals court ruled Thursday, acknowledging that it was reversing years of its own precedent. At issue was a redistricting case in Galveston County, Texas, where Black and Latino groups had joined to challenge district maps drawn by the county commission. Circuit Court of Appeals initially upheld the decision before the full court decided to reconsider the issue, resulting in Thursday’s 12-6 decision. “Nowhere does Section 2 indicate that two minority groups may combine forces to pursue a vote dilution claim,” Jones, nominated to the court by former President Ronald Reagan, wrote. “To reach its conclusion, the majority must reject well-established methods of statutory interpretation, jumping through hoops to find exceptions,” Douglas wrote.

LOS ANGELES — A federal judge has overturned a jury’s $4.7 billion verdict in the class-action lawsuit filed by “Sunday Ticket” subscribers against the NFL and has granted judgment to the NFL. U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez ruled Thursday that the testimony of two witnesses for the subscribers had flawed methodologies and should have been excluded. The jury on June 27 awarded $4.7 billion in damages to residential and commercial subscribers after it ruled the NFL violated antitrust laws in distributing out-of-market Sunday afternoon games on a premium subscription service. The lawsuit covered 2.4 million residential subscribers and 48,000 businesses in the United States who paid for the package on DirecTV of out-of-market games from the 2011 through 2022 seasons. Since damages can be tripled under federal antitrust laws, the NFL could have been liable for $14,121,779,833.92.

The conditions are aimed at ensuring that nearby hospitals aren’t overwhelmed by the increase of patients expected after Beth Israel closes. The Health Department said Beth Israel must fund an expansion of the emergency room at Bellevue, the flagship of the city’s public hospital system. Another condition is that Beth Israel must run an urgent care center, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for three months. A spokesman for the Mount Sinai hospital system, Loren Riegelhaupt, said in a statement that Beth Israel would remain open and accept patients, for now. Beth Israel was founded in 1889, initially as a dispensary serving mainly Jewish immigrants on the Lower East Side.

But Trump would have been indicted and convicted even if evidence the defense calls "official" were removed, the filing adds. AdvertisementThe filing argues that Trump is wrong in now stamping much of the prosecutor's case "official act evidence." But these tweets describe unofficial acts unrelated to Trump's official duties, and for which he has no immunity, the prosecution filing now argues.

Lindell told CNN on Tuesday that Giuliani is an employee of the media company, but declined to say how much he was being paid for the job, which he said started July 1. Judge Sean Lane of the federal bankruptcy court in White Plains, New York, is expected to issue a ruling any day on how to move forward.
