Trump solicita a jueza que se retire de caso por presunta intervención electoral

Published Mon, 04 Nov 2024 21:52:32 GMT

Los abogados del expresidente Donald Trump tomaron medidas este lunes para “recusar y descalificar” a la jueza de Washington DC que preside el caso federal que lo acusa de intentar intervenir las elecciones presidenciales de 2020 y promover los eventos que culminaron en el asalto al Capitolio federal el 6 de enero de 2021. En un expediente judicial, los abogados de Trump citaron las referencias de la jueza Tanya Chutkan al expresidente en otros casos penales relacionados con el ataque a la sede del Congreso en Washington DC. “La jueza Chutkan, en relación con otros casos, ha sugerido que el presidente Trump debería ser procesado y encarcelado. Tales declaraciones, hechas antes de que comenzara este caso y sin el debido proceso, son inherentemente descalificantes. Aunque la jueza Chutkan puede realmente tener la intención de darle al presidente Trump un juicio justo, y puede creer que puede hacerlo, sus declaraciones públicas inevitablemente contaminan estos procedi...

The Browns’ defense appears transformed under new coordinator Jim Schwartz

Published Mon, 04 Nov 2024 21:52:32 GMT

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns’ most significant acquisition this offseason wasn’t on the field for a single snap in Sunday’s season-opening win over Cincinnati.Jim Schwartz received a game ball.Cleveland’s new defensive coordinator designed a plan that overwhelmed quarterback Joe Burrow and the Bengals, who managed just 142 total yards and six first downs in a rain-soaked 24-3 loss to the Browns.With All-Pro end Myles Garrett leading the charge — while also showing off some basketball moves — the Browns pressured Burrow from the start, hurrying the newly minted $275 million QB into making bad throws on a day when just gripping the ball was a challenge.Burrow managed 82 yards passing — by far the worst performance of his NFL career — against a rebuilt Cleveland defense that showed off its depth, versatility, swagger and an aggressiveness that has defined Schwartz’s career.The fiery 57-year-old former Detroit head coach, who won a Super Bowl as Philadelphia...

Vikings must quickly regroup after the unpleasant surprise of losing a close opener

Published Mon, 04 Nov 2024 21:52:32 GMT

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — For all the mistakes the Minnesota Vikings made to waste a significant amount of their good work in the season opener, the feeling was strong on their sideline — and throughout the stadium, for that matter — that they would ultimately extract a victory from a tight game.The Vikings turned that into an art form last year, after all, setting an NFL record with 11 wins in 11 decisions by eight points or fewer.This time, those vital fourth-quarter plays just weren’t made.“There’s an unwavering belief in this locker room. Even when there’s five minutes left and we were down by a field goal, we thought we had that one for sure,” tight end T.J. Hockenson said.The offense went three-and-out on its last two possessions. The defense allowed a fourth-down conversion to extend Tampa Bay’s drive for the tiebreaking field goal and later let the Buccaneers drain the final 3:52 off the clock Sunday with a 15-yard facemask penalty and two third-down conversions for a ...

Colorado deputies fired after repeated Taser use on man

Published Mon, 04 Nov 2024 21:52:32 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Two Colorado sheriff's deputies were fired after an investigation found their repeated use of Tasers against a man, including in his lower lip, was unjustified, the Las Animas County Sheriff's office confirmed Monday.Deputy Mikhail Noel and Lt. Henry Trujillo violated a number of agency policies, including inappropriately using a Taser against Kenneth Espinoza while he was handcuffed and inaccurately reporting what happened, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office. Prisoner had drugs 4 days before he escaped, sources tell FOX31 Investigators also recommended referring the matter for a criminal probe, alleging that Noel’s and Trujillo’s actions during the traffic stop escalated the use of physical force, bodily injury and false arrest. It is unknown if a criminal investigation has been launched.“The existence of excessive and unlawful force was so apparent here that there’s really only one conclusion,” said attorney Kevin Mehr, who's representing Esp...

Robbins: Celebrating the rich legacy of ‘the giving Irish’

Published Mon, 04 Nov 2024 21:52:32 GMT

The phrase “fighting Irish” did not originate with Notre Dame’s football team, but with the Irish immigrant soldiers who fought for the Union during the Civil War. It was Confederate General Robert E. Lee himself who is said to have coined the term, a testament to the bravery and effectiveness of the so-called “Irish brigades” that helped save their new nation.When Irish statesman Eamon de Valera came to America in 1919 to generate support for the Irish cause, he naturally came first to Boston. There he told a huge rally in Fenway Park what the phrase meant. “What we actually mean when we talk about it,” he explained, “is an indomitable spirit, a commitment, never tentative, always fully committed, to life itself…..that’s really the spirit of ‘the Fighting Irish.”Ireland’s magic is plain to anyone who visits the Emerald Isle, but it is hardly the country’s physical beauty alone that furnishes the magic. Since time immemorial the Irish have been gifted at community – at nurturing and...
