The governor praised DeMore's "deep understanding of the justice system from multiple perspectives" in announcing his nomination. DeMore served as a prosecutor in the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office from 2007 to 2019, including a one-year stint overseeing a team of 70 attorneys as the office's Chief of District Courts and Community Prosecutions. DeMore went on to found Henning Strategies, a Boston law firm, where he now works as a defense attorney.

U.S. Magistrate Judge M. Page Kelley ordered that Farwell, 40, remain in custody ahead of his trial. His trial is set to begin Oct. 5. In March, Farwell's lawyers filed a motion arguing for his release. Prosecutors filed three supplemental memorandums in support of detention both before and after his April 28 hearing. Kelley cited the evidence against Farwell in her order, describing it as "very strong, if not overwhelming." She also considered the seriousness of the murder charge, which, "in and of itself, weighs in favor of a finding of dangerousness."

Texas is headed into a heated run-off on Tuesday to choose which GOP candidate gets to face Dem. James Talarico for the Senate race in the midterms. They can choose either John Cornyn, the incumbent candidate, or Attorney General Ken Paxton-the fascist gremlin who's used his office to eradicate civil liberties left and right, who's sued people for doing their jobs, and... who apparently struck a sweetheart deal last month that allowed an alleged pedophile to walk free on Monday.

He fatally stabbed one, stomped another to death, and strangled the third. Gavin pleaded guilty to a single count of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder.

Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee criticized Blanche and the DOJ directly in his ruling, saying that the criminal charges against Abrego Garcia had been brought with "vindictive taint" that rendered them unlawful. Quoting former Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, Crenshaw wrote the following: "Then-Attorney General Robert H. Jackson warned his fellow prosecutors long ago of the danger of picking the person first and the crime second. 'Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted.' That is the situation here."

New York police say Thompson and a 27-year-old man were both riding the A train on Dec. 29, 2023, before exiting at a station in West Harlem near 125th Street and Eighth Avenue.

Prosecutors say Thompson shouted anti-gay slurs before the attack and continued doing so while assaulting the man, according to Bragg's office.

A 74-year-old Michigan man who was wrongfully convicted of the deaths of two hunters in 2022 reached a settlement this week with the accompanying dollar figure: $5.25 million. That's what Jeff Titus will be given to support him in his remaining years, but if you asked the man, I have a feeling he'd still tell you he would have preferred to not be railroaded into a murder conviction by cold case detectives and prosecutors who failed to allow him a fair defense, withholding key evidence that would have flipped his trial on its head.

Prosecutors said Castillo, while working as a guard at the Elmwood Correctional Facility, approved the beating at the jail beforehand and even provided rubber gloves to one attacker.

On the next shift, another correctional officer discovered the inmate was injured and launched an investigation.
