Tennessee Republicans pushed legislation through both chambers this week that would let property owners use deadly force against trespassers, arsonists, burglars, and thieves, a direct challenge to the legal expectation that citizens must hesitate while criminals act. The bill now awaits Gov. Bill Lee’s signature. The Tennessee Senate passed the measure on April 21. Two […]

The sheriff overseeing the search for missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has now acknowledged, through his attorney, that he resigned from a prior law enforcement job more than four decades ago to dodge a suspension for insubordination, a fact that directly contradicts what he said under oath in a recent deposition. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos […]

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a wrongful death lawsuit against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, leaving a Brooklyn family without legal recourse five years after their 89-year-old father died in a nursing home where COVID-positive patients were housed under the Democrat’s pandemic-era mandate. The high court offered no explanation for its decision, […]

NFL reporter Crissy Froyd lost her job at USA Today, a position she held for a decade, after posting pointed comments on X about Dianna Russini’s departure from The Athletic.

A divided federal appeals court on Tuesday ordered U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to terminate his year-long criminal contempt inquiry into senior Trump administration officials over deportation flights that carried more than 130 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, a ruling that dismantles one of the most aggressive judicial challenges to the administration’s immigration enforcement.

A Connecticut judge declared a mistrial last week in the case against a convicted sex offender charged with the 1986 rape and murder of 11-year-old Kathleen Flynn, after prosecutors disclosed a retired detective’s email raising the possibility that key evidence had been contaminated by a used body bag nearly four decades ago.
