Paltrow's defense team argued that Sanderson actually crashed into Paltrow and any injuries he sustained were his own fault.The verdict came only three hours after closing arguments wrapped.Jurors had to rely on the testimony of expert witnesses who were not on the scene and conflicting eyewitnesses who were.

Donald Trump indicted; 1st ex-president charged with crime

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:32:36 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — A Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict Donald Trump on charges involving payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter, the first ever criminal case against a former U.S. president and a jolt to Trump’s bid to retake the White House in 2024.The indictment, confirmed Thursday by Joe Tacopina, a lawyer for Trump, and other people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to discuss sealed criminal charges, is an extraordinary development after years of investigations into his business, political and personal dealings. It is likely to galvanize critics who say Trump lied and cheated his way to the top and embolden supporters who feel the Republican is being unfairly targeted by a Democratic prosecutor.Tacopina said in a statement: “He did not commit any crime. We will vigorously fight this political prosecution in court.”The district attorney’s investigation centered on money paid to porn actor...

Luckily, the cold wind will fade overnight.

Red Sox notebook: Comeback bid falls short

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:32:36 GMT

Give the Red Sox credit for this much, they made things interesting in the end.On a day where it felt like the game was as good as done by the middle innings, the Red Sox offense came to life and clawed its way back down the stretch, ultimately falling one swing short in a 10-9 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.The Red Sox scored five runs from the eighth inning onwards, and in the bottom of the ninth Masataka Yoshida came to the plate with two on, one out and a chance to win the game with one swing of the bat.Yoshida grounded into what should have been a game-ending double play, but the Orioles’ sloppy defense gave the Red Sox life as Jorge Mateo botched the throw to first. That brought Adam Duvall to the plate with the tying run at second, but he struck out to end the game.Devers starts off strongOne silver lining from Thursday’s loss?
