Washington (AFP) - The United States Justice Department said Tuesday it had agreed to pay almost $139 million to victims of sex abuser Larry Nassar, for its bungled investigation into the former USA Gymnastics team doctor. For nearly two decades, Nassar subjected hundreds of people to abuse under the guise of performing medical treatment. His victims included Olympic gold medalists Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney and other top names in the sport. Despite complaints, the FBI initially did not act, and Nassar continued to act with impunity. He was ultimately convicted in late 2017 and...

A climate protester who faced up to two years in prison for holding a sign outside a courthouse reminding jurors of their right to acquit defendants cannot be charged with contempt of court, a London judge has ruled. Trudi Warner (63) had been arrested last March and accused of “deliberately targeting” jurors before a trial of climate activists from the group Insulate Britain. She held a sign in front of Inner London Crown Court that said: “Jurors you have an absolute right to acquit a defendant according to your conscience.” High Court Justice Pushpinder Saini said yesterday (22 April) her ac...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday on whether Donald Trump, as a former president, should be immune from criminal prosecution for acts he committed while in office. The nine justices' ruling could have far-reaching implications for the extent of US executive power -- and Trump's own multiple legal issues as he seeks the White House again. And while most constitutional law experts expect Trump to suffer a legal defeat, he may already have won a political victory. By agreeing to take the case, the court delayed -- perhaps indefinitely -- the start of Trump's tri...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court heard arguments Monday on whether cities can ban homeless people from sleeping outside, as the country grapples with increasing rates of Americans living on the streets and a lack of shelter beds. The case centers around regulations in the city of Grants Pass, in the western state of Oregon, which banned camping or using any kind of bedding on public property after its public parks became filled with tents, blankets and cardboard. Those breaking the rules face hundred-dollar fines and possible prison sentences for repeat offenders. Homeless advocates hav...

A 28-year-old Hoffenheim fan was sentenced to three years in prison on Monday for throwing a firecracker during a men's Bundesliga football match. Around a dozen people, including several children, were injured when the particular firecracker - which is not authorized in Germany - was set off by the man during a game in Augsburg in November 2023. It was not a normal case of pyrotechnics being used in a German stadium, presiding judge Christoph Kern said. It was instead a "massive explosives incident" that had left 26,000 people in the Augsburg ground fearing a terrorist attack, he added. The 1...
