Diddy's trial was the latest in a line of high-profile celebrity criminal cases

Diddy's trial was the latest in a line of high-profile celebrity criminal cases

A New York City jury's decision Wednesday to convict Sean "Diddy" Combs onprostitution-related offensesand acquit the music mogul on sex trafficking and racketeering charges was the latest in a line of high-profile celebrity criminal cases that garnered widespread attention. O.J. Simpson In 1995, football star and actor O.J. Simpsonwas acquitted of murderin the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman after the "trial of the century." Two years later, a civil trial jury found him liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to relatives of Brown and Goldman.Simpson died in 2024at age 76 of prostate cancer. Michael Jackson Michael Jackson was acquitted in 2005 of molesting a 13-year-old cancer survivor at his Neverland Ranch. The King of Pop was also accused of plying the boy with alcohol and conspiring to hold him and his family captive. Jackson had faced nearly 20 years in prison. Jackson died in 2009 at age 50 of an overdose ofthe anesthetic propofol. R. Kelly R. Kellyis serving time at a prison in North Carolina. This year, a federal appeals courtupheld the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer's 2021 racketeering and sex trafficking convictions, along with a 30-year prison sentence. The court concluding that the singer exploited his fame for over a quarter century to sexually abuse girls and young women. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of a 20-year sentence Kelly received after his 2022 conviction on child sex charges including charges of producing images of child sexual abuse in Chicago. Bill Cosby Bill Cosbywas convicted in 2018 of sexual assault and sentenced to up to a decade in prison. But three years later the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said the district attorney who made the decision to arrest Cosby was obligated to stand by a predecessor's promise not to charge Cosby, though there was no evidence that agreement was ever put in writing. The former "Cosby Show" star was the first celebrity tried and convicted inthe #MeToo eraand spent nearly three years at a state prison near Philadelphia before the higher courtoverturned his conviction and released himin 2021. Alec Baldwin Last year, a judge decided halfway throughAlec Baldwin'sinvoluntary manslaughter trial to dismiss the charge. Baldwin had been charged in the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie "Rust." The judge dismissed the case on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense. This year, Baldwinsuedfor malicious prosecution and civil rights violations. Baldwin also alleged defamation, saying that prosecutors and investigators intentionally mishandled evidence. A$AP Rocky A Los Angeles jury acquittedA$AP Rockyin February after a trial on two counts ofassault with a semiautomatic firearm.The hip-hop star was accused of firing on a former friend in Hollywood in 2021. Rocky, who rejected a plea deal that would have involved very little jail time, opted not to testify at trial. Harvey Weinstein Former Oscar-winning movie producer Harvey Weinstein wasconvicted of rape and other chargesin 2022 by a Los Angeles jury. He was sentenced then to 16 years in prison and is appealing that conviction. Weinstein, 73,also was found guilty last monthduring the retrial of a rape case in New York City. The charges against Weinstein have been pivotal for the #MeToo movement. The anti-sexual-misconduct campaign was fueled by allegations against him. Martha Stewart Homemaking icon and media personality Martha Stewart was convicted in 2004 of lying to the federal government about a 2001 stock sale. She served five months in prison. Her brand rebounded following her release. In 2023, at the age of 81, Stewart was chosen as one ofSports Illustrated's swimsuit cover models. Kevin Spacey In 2023, a London juryacquitted Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spaceyon sexual assault charges stemming from allegations by four men dating back 20 years. Spacey had denied the allegations against him and told the jury how they had destroyed his acting career as the #MeToo movement gained momentum in the U.S. Spacey told British broadcast host Piers Morgan last year that he was millions of dollars in debt, largely because of unpaid legal bills.

Tensions are rising between Russia and Azerbaijan. Why is this happening now?

Tensions are rising between Russia and Azerbaijan. Why is this happening now?

Deaths of ethnic Azerbaijanisrounded up by police for decades-old murders in a Russian city. The crash of anAzerbaijan Airlines passenger jetthat Baku blamed on Moscow. Growing ties between Azerbaijan and Turkey, along with waning Russian influence in the troubled South Caucasus region. These are among the factors that have led to the escalating tensions between Russia and Azerbaijan, the oil-rich Caspian Sea country wherePresident Ilhan Aliyevhas been in power since 2003 -- almost as long as the 25-year rule of Vladimir Putin in Russia. Here is a look at the previously warm relationship between Russia and Azerbaijan and what has happened: Economic ties between Russia and Azerbaijan Russia and Azerbaijan developed strong economic and cultural ties after 1993 when Aliyev's father, Heydar, who also was Azerbaijan's Soviet-era Communist boss, became president. Like Putin, the younger Aliyev has suppressed political foes and restricted independent media. Azerbaijan has bought oil and natural gas from Russia to meet internal demand while exporting its own energy riches to the West. Russia also has been the main market for Azerbaijan's fruit and vegetable exports. It also is a key transport corridor for Russia's trade with Iran and other partners in the Middle East. Azerbaijani businessmen control significant assets in construction, real estate, trade and other sectors of the Russian economy. Russia is home to a sizable Azerbaijani diaspora. A 2021 census listed about a half-million ethnic Azerbaijanis living in Russia, but unofficial estimates put that number as high as 2 million. Relations with Baku have become increasingly important for the Kremlin since it sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, especially as Turkey has become a key economic partner for Russia as it faced sweeping Western sanctions. The Karabakh separatist conflict Just before the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, an open confrontation erupted between two of its former republics in the South Caucasus — Azerbaijan and its neighbor, Armenia. After years of fighting, Armenian-backed separatists won control of Azerbaijan's region of Karabakh and nearby territories. Russia claimed neutrality in the conflict even though it provided economic assistance and supplied weapons to Armenia that hosted its military base. Moscow cosponsored peace talks under the auspices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, but they didn't produce a deal. In 2020, Azerbaijan's military, bolstered by weapons supplied by ally Turkey, recaptured broad swaths of territory that were held for nearly three decades by Armenian forces. Russia brokered a truce and deployed about 2,000 peacekeepers to the region. Azerbaijan reclaimed full control of Karabakh in September 2023 aftera lightning military campaign. Russia, busy with its war in Ukraine, didn't intervene, angering Armenia's leadership that responded by scaling down its ties with Moscow and bolstering relations with the West. The victory in Karabakh has fueled Azerbaijan's ambitions and prompted Aliyev to take a more assertive stand in relations with his neighbors. The crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines flight On Dec. 25, 2024, an Azerbaijan Airlines passenger jet crashed while on a flight from Baku to Grozny, the regional capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya. Azerbaijani authorities said the jet was accidentally hit by fire from Russian air defenses, then tried to land in western Kazakhstan when it crashed, killing 38 of 67 people aboard. Putinapologizedto Aliyev for what he called a "tragic incident" but stopped short of acknowledging responsibility. Aliyev, meanwhile,criticized Moscowfor trying to "hush up" the incident. In May, Aliyev declined to attend Russia's Victory Day parade in Moscow alongside other leaders of ex-Soviet nations. Later that month, a Ukrainian foreign minister visited Baku, a sign of closer ties with Kyiv. Police raids lead to heightened tensions On June 27, policeraided the homesof several ethnic Azerbaijanis in Yekaterinburg, Russia's fourth-largest city, in what authorities said was part of an investigation into murders dating back decades. Brothers Huseyn and Ziyaddin Safarov died and several other ethnic Azerbaijanis were seriously injured. The bodies were sent to Azerbaijan, where authorities attributed the deaths to "post-traumatic shock caused by multiple injuries." The Prosecutor General's Office said the brothers were subjected to beatings and other physical abuse by Russian police. Azerbaijan responded by calling off previously scheduled Russian official visits and cultural events. On Monday, maskedpolice stormed the Baku officesof Sputnik Azerbaijan, a Kremlin-funded media outlet, and arrested seven of its employees. Police also rounded up eight other Russian IT experts and other professionals, who were accused of drug trafficking and cybercrime. Images of the detainees, who didn't have any known criminal record, showed their faces were badly bruised. The images caused outrage in Russia where many hawkish commentators accused Azerbaijan of treating Russians as hostages and urged a tough response. Russia on Tuesday briefly detained the leader of the Azerbaijani community in Yekaterinburg for interrogation. A video on Russian social media showed special forces breaking the windows of his vehicle, dragging him and his son out, and making them lie face down on the pavement. A prominent member of the Azerbaijani diaspora also was arrested in Voronezh in southern Russia. Tough talk from Baku and Moscow Azerbaijan strongly condemned what it called "the demonstrative and deliberate acts of extrajudicial killing and violence" by Russian police following the deaths in Yekaterinburg. After the arrests of the Sputnik employees and other Russians in Baku, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Azerbaijan's ambassador to protest "the recent unfriendly actions of Baku and the intentional steps of the Azerbaijani side aimed to dismantle bilateral relations." Azerbaijan shot back by summoning the Russian ambassador to demand a probe into the deaths, punishment for those responsible and compensation for the victims — steps it said were "crucial for eliminating the negative atmosphere in bilateral relations." It shrugged off Moscow's complaints about the arrests of Russians in Baku Aliyev discussed the tensions with Russia in a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, an act that seemed designed to rile the Kremlin. Zelenskyy said he expressed support for Baku "in a situation where Russia is bullying Azerbaijani citizens and threatening the Republic of Azerbaijan." Asked about the call, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that "Ukraine will do everything possible to add fuel to the fire and provoke the Azerbaijani side to continue emotional actions." Peskov noted that the head of Russia's top investigative agency has been in contact with Azerbaijan's chief prosecutor. He wouldn't say if Putin would speak to Aliyev to defuse the crisis.

"It is with unimaginable sadness that we share the search for James and Eric Fuller has come to an end. They were found yesterday morning deep in the canyon by Caltrans," Scott wrote. "For 21 long days, we searched tirelessly… It's been devastating beyond words. This is not the outcome any of us prayed for."

"It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete," Grohl explained, "so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen." And last, but certainly never least, Grohl shared a heartfelt message to Hawkins, whodied suddenly at 50while the band was on tour in 2022. "And… Taylor. Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever," he confirmed. "The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination." But the end isn't in sight just yet.

Flint replaces most lead pipes, 10 years after the Michigan water crisis

Flint replaces most lead pipes, 10 years after the Michigan water crisis

Flint has replaced most of its lead water pipes, more than 10 years after contaminated water was found in the Michigan city's water system, prompting national outrage. State officials submitted a progress report in court on Tuesday showing that they had replaced 11,000 lead pipes in the city and restored more than 28,000 affected properties. "Thanks to the persistence of the people of Flint and our partners, we are finally at the end of the lead pipe replacement project," said Allen C. Overton of the Concerned Pastors for Social Action, one of the plaintiffs in a 2017 lawsuit against officials over the scandal. "While this milestone is not all the justice our community deserves, it is a huge achievement." The Michigan Attorney General's Office did not immediately return a request for comment. In 2013,officials stopped buying waterfrom Detroit and created a pipeline to Lake Huron as a cost-cutting measure. Until the pipeline's completion, the city's primary water source came from the Flint River in 2014. Quickly,residents reported a murky, foamy qualityof the water coming from their pipes. After testing positive for high levels of trihalomethanes — a disinfectant byproduct — E. coli bacteria and lead, city officials said that the water was still safe for consumption. It wasn't until October 2015 that the majority-Black city switched back to Detroit water. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the water crisis exposed nearly 100,000 residents of Flint to lead due to the crisis. Criminal chargeswere brought for several deaths related to the contamination, but were later dismissed. The 2017 lawsuit wassettled in 2021for $626 million, which included an agreement to replace the lead pipes free. "We would not have reached this day without the work of so many Flint residents who worked to hold our leaders accountable," Overton said. "I have never been prouder to be a member of the Flint community." The report says that roughly 4,000 homes still have lead pipes. Those homes were likely either vacant or homes that belonged to Flint residents who opted out of having the pipes replaced, according to a spokesperson for the advocacy group that led the lawsuit, the Natural Resources Defense Council.
