CINCINNATI (AP) — Jurors are set to resume deliberations in the murder trial of a white former police officer who said he feared for his life before fatally shooting an unarmed black man during a traffic stop over a missing front license plate in Ohio.

Hamilton County Judge Megan Shanahan sequestered the jurors Wednesday night, telling them that they would resume deliberating Thursday morning. Before they got the case, Shanahan instructed them to apply the law to the facts presented in court, and to judge the facts “from the perspective of a reasonable officer at the scene,” not in “20-20 hindsight.”   Continue reading “Jury deliberations to resume in Ohio police shooting trial”

Out of all the individuals in the political sphere today, no one stirs controversy and divides opinion more than Donald Trump. For months now, Trump’s flamboyant personality and demagogic rhetoric has dominated the media landscape, turning the presidential race into the biggest entertainment event of the year. Hailed as the savior of America by some, and as a train wreck waiting to happen by others; Trump still remains somewhat of an enigma.   Continue reading “Trump’s Connections to Wall Street, Soros, Blackwater and the CFR”

Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign manager on Wednesday said there has been no discussion of an appointment of a prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton’s past practices while serving as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state, a threat Trump made in an election debate.

Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence are “looking to unify the country, but we haven’t discussed that in recent days, and I think that it’s all in due time,” campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said on MSNBC when asked about the appointment of a prosecutor.   Continue reading “Trump aide says no decision on Clinton prosecutor, now focused on unity”

Donald Trump has pulled through with an unexpected win, and will soon become the next President of the United States. As this reality sinks in across the country, Google searches for how to impeach a President Trump are surging. On top of that, the hashtag #NotMyPresident is already trending on Twitter.

However, even before he was elected, one law professor was convinced that there was already enough evidence to impeach him if he did win.  Of course, even if there is, that’s going to be a tough task considering that the Republicans now have control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Despite that, his analysis is certainly an interesting theory to re-examine as questions continue to arise.   Continue reading “Law Prof Says There is Already Enough Evidence To Impeach Donald Trump”

The White House isn’t ruling out the possibility of Hillary Clinton receiving a last-minute pardon from President Obama — even though she hasn’t been charged with a crime.

Asked at Wednesday’s press briefing whether Obama had considered utilizing his unique executive power, press secretary Josh Earnest was cryptic.

“The president has offered clemency to a substantial number of Americans who were previously serving time in federal prisons,” Earnest said.   Continue reading “White House open to a Clinton pardon”

It was intended, according to its creator, as a “warning to America”, a horrifying and fantastical vision of the future in which the US – ludicrously – had elected as its president Donald Trump.

But with the property billionaire now the favourite to gain the Republican nomination for the presidency, the episode of The Simpsons that in 2000 foresaw such a laughable outcome has begun looking unnervingly prescient.   Continue reading “Simpsons writer says President Trump episode was ‘warning to US’”
