‘Consequences across the board’: Criminal case dismissals mount amid Antioch police scandals

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 16:49:38 GMT

ANTIOCH – A week after eight Antioch police officers were indicted on federal and state charges, Contra Costa County’s criminal justice system is buckling under the weight of alleged racism and corruption within the police force on an unprecedented scale: dozens of criminal cases tainted by rogue officers have already been dismissed, and thousands more are under review.The vast stain on East Contra Costa law enforcement has led to the unraveling of murder and other serious cases, while people imprisoned on the word of officers accused of harboring racist views and violating civil rights are being freed or seeing charges dropped.Already, there are shocking examples: Two men accused of stuffing 25-year-old Mykaella Sharlman into a garbage can and setting her body on fire last October were freed earlier this year amid growing concerns about the integrity of Antioch police officers. Prosecutors may refile felony arson and mutilation of a corpse charges, but doing so may require them to ...

Across sprawling West, only Western Oregon and Central Washington still offer D-II college football

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 16:49:38 GMT

MONMOUTH, Ore. (AP) — When Arne Ferguson started as an assistant coach at Western Oregon in 1989, road games meant bus trips. Sometimes a few hours to schools in Washington. Sometimes just a few minutes up the road to Oregon towns like Salem, Forest Grove and McMinnville.All on the bus and neatly contained inside the Pacific Northwest.Now entering his 18th year as the head coach, those bus days are long gone. Ferguson and his team are frequent flyers as one of only two NCAA Division II programs remaining on the West Coast.During this upcoming season, the Wolves will fly six times. They will play non-conference games in South Dakota and Minnesota, and play league games in Texas and New Mexico.It’s a massive undertaking, financially and logistically. It requires 3 a.m. wakeup calls on Fridays, followed by buses to the airport, four-hour commercial flights, Saturday games and doing it all in reverse on Sundays. There will be more than 160 programs in the country playing football at the...

(CNN) — Se han registrado al menos 472 tiroteos masivos en Estados Unidos en lo que va de 2023, según Gun Violence Archive, que, al igual que CNN, define un tiroteo masivo en el que cuatro o más personas resultan heridas y/o muertas, sin incluir al tirador. La nación superó la marca de 400 en julio, el mes más temprano en que se registra una cifra tan alta desde 2013, dijo la organización sin fines de lucro.La violencia armada en Florida fue uno de varios incidentes con tiroteos reportados en Estados Unidos en los últimos dos días, incluidos Boston y Oklahoma. Se escucharon disparos en varias ciudades, lo que detuvo sorprendentemente las actividades cotidianas del verano, como carnavales, partidos de fútbol de escuelas secundarias y compras de fin de semana.En Florida, al menos tres personas negras murieron este sábado en lo que la Policía dijo que fue un tiroteo por motivos raciales. El tirador también murió en el incidente.ANÁLISIS | Estados Unidos supera los 400 tiroteos ma...

Genetic tests confirm Prigozhin died in plane crash, Russia says

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 16:49:38 GMT

Russian investigators on Sunday confirmed the death of Wagner mercenary group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin in a plane crash last Wednesday, citing genetic tests indicating his identity.Prigozhin’s name was among those of the 10 passengers on the flight manifest for the private jet, which crashed in Russia’s Tver region while travelling from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Wagner sympathizers had held out hope that the mercenary leader, who staged an aborted coup against Russian President Vladimir Putin in June, was somehow still alive.But in a statement published on the Telegram messaging service on Sunday, Russia’s Investigative Committee said the identities of all of the plane’s passengers had been confirmed with “molecular-genetic examinations.”A former loyalist who was dubbed “Putin’s chef” for his role as a catering executive supplying the Kremlin, Prigozhin became embittered toward the Russian government’s handling of the war on Ukraine.

Myanmar expels East Timor’s diplomat in retaliation for supporting opposition forces

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 16:49:38 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Myanmar’s military-installed government has ordered East Timor’s senior diplomat to leave the country in retaliation for the East Timorese government holding meetings with Myanmar’s main opposition organization, the Foreign Ministry said Sunday. The statement said East Timor has conducted engagements with Myanmar’s shadow National Unity Government, which views itself as the country’s legitimate administration after the military seized power from the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi on Feb. 1, 2021.The National Unity Government also serves as an umbrella organization for opponents of military rule.The Foreign Ministry said it informed the charge d’affaires of the East Timor Embassy in Yangon, Myanmar’s biggest city, on Friday to leave the country no later than Sept. 1. The charge d’affaires is believed to be the first foreign diplomat expelled from Myanmar since the army takeover.Many countries have downgraded their relations with Myanm...
