Trial
New York (AFP) - Donald Trump could not have made his feelings clearer: he would rather be anywhere else than in a New York courtroom Tuesday, on trial for business fraud. Dressed in a blue suit with a blue tie, former US president shifted between discomfort and anger, as he sat through the second day of the historic proceeding, the first criminal trial of a US president. "This is a trial that should have never been brought," Trump told reporters outside the courtroom, as he lashed out against President Joe Biden, his Democratic rival in the November presidential election, and what he called t...

The weapons supervisor on the set of the Western film “Rust” was sentenced to 18 months in prison during a hearing on Monday (15 April), over the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins by Alec Baldwin. A New Mexico judge found that Hannah Gutierrez-Reed’s recklessness amounted to a serious violent offence, noting few indications of genuine remorse from the defendant since she was convicted in March. Prosecutors blame Gutierrez-Reed for unwittingly bringing live ammunition onto the set of “Rust”, where it was expressly forbidden, and for failing to follow basic gun-safety protocols. ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Alec Baldwin had "no control" over himself on the set of a film where a cinematographer was shot dead, according to the prosecutor who has charged him with manslaughter. The A-lister was holding a Colt .45 during the preparation of a scene in the budget Western "Rust" when it went off, killing Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin, 66, is set to go on trial in New Mexico in July for involuntary manslaughter, a charge he denies. In a court filing released Monday, prosecutor Kari Morrissey sketched the outlines of what the jury might hear, including how Ba...

Moscow (AFP) - Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter who has spent a year behind bars in Russia, is awaiting a trial on espionage charges the White House says are fabricated but could still see him jailed for decades. The US-born son of Soviet emigres covered Russia for six years, including a stint with AFP, as the Kremlin made independent, on-the-ground reporting increasingly dangerous and illegal. His arrest in March 2023 on charges of spying -- the first such charge against a Western journalist since the Soviet era -- showed that the Kremlin was prepared to go further than ever b...

Disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly’s lawyer told an appeals court yesterday (Monday 18 March) that all kinds of legitimate organizations — even college fraternities — could be deemed racketeering organizations under a law used to convict the Kelly at his Brooklyn trial of sexually abusing young fans, including children, for decades. Attorney Jennifer Bonjean, seeking to reverse his 2021 convictions or to win him a new trial, tried to persuade three judges on the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan that prosecutors improperly used a racketeering statute written to shut down organized crime ...

An $11 billion (€10 billion) acquisition that backfired on Silicon Valley pioneer Hewlett Packard (HP) more than a decade ago will be resurrected Monday during a trial that will explore whether the deal was an illegal rip-off or a case of botched management. The criminal trial in San Francisco federal court revolves around HP's acquisition of UK software maker Autonomy, a deal that was celebrated as a coup when it was announced in 2011, only to blow up into a costly debacle. Before HP wrapped up the deal, Meg Whitman was hired to be CEO of the company started 85 years ago by Bill Hewlett and D...

A woman has sued director Roman Polanski, alleging he raped her in his home when she was a minor in 1973. The woman aired the allegations, which the 90-year-old Polanski has denied, in a news conference with her attorney, Gloria Allred, who has represented the victims of Jeffery Epstein and Bill Cosby, on Tuesday (12 March). The account is similar to the still-unresolved Los Angeles criminal sexual assault case that prompted Polanski in 1978 to flee to Europe, where he has remained since. The unnamed plaintiff who filed the civil lawsuit said she went to dinner with Polanski, who knew she was ...

Kempten (Germany) (AFP) - A German court handed an American man a life sentence Monday for raping and killing a fellow US tourist near Bavaria's famed Neuschwanstein castle last year. The district tribunal in the southern town of Kempten convicted the defendant, identified only as Troy Philipp B., 31, after he made a wide-ranging confession on the first day of his trial last month. The judges also noted the "particular severity of guilt", meaning he is unlikely to be released after 15 years as is customary with life sentences in Germany. Troy Philipp B. was convicted of raping and murdering th...

A jury has convicted a movie weapons supervisor of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin during a rehearsal on the set of the Western movie Rust. The verdict against movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed assigned new blame in the fatal October 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after an assistant director last year pleaded no contest to negligent handling of a firearm. Gutierrez-Reed also had faced a second charge of tampering with evidence, stemming from accusations that she handed a small bag of possible narcotics to another cre...
