Judge denies defense’s motion for mistrial during 5th day of trial for ex-Hialeah PD officer accused of beating up homeless man

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:11:54 GMT

The defense team for a former Hialeah Police officer accused of beating a homeless man asked a judge for a mistrial. Officer Rafael Otano is accused of kidnapping and beating Jose Ortega Gutierrez, along with former Officer Lorenzo Orfila, on Dec. 17, 2022.During the fifth day of the trial on Friday, the defense said that the state was confusing the jury by putting the officer on trial for policy violations rather than the crime itself. The state said no report was made about the incident at all, which ultimately broke policy.The defense argued that they couldn’t point the finger at Officer Otano for the assault.“When you put a police officer on trial, if you commit the state to bring in evidence against policy violations; didn’t turn on the body cam, didn’t fill out this report, didn’t call a sergeant, all those things, basically a jury can convict him for alleged kidnapping and some other alleged serious crimes based upon elements, violation...

This baby gorilla almost died before a zookeeper held him close. Now he has a new adoptive mom

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:11:54 GMT

Brisbane, Australia (CNN) — In many ways, raising a baby gorilla is very similar to nurturing human newborns, says Chad Staples, a father of four and the director of Mogo Wildlife Park, a small private zoo in the town of the same name on Australia’s southeastern coast.“The similarities are amazing. Even just looking at his eyes, it’s just like when you look at a newborn and they just take in the whole universe with every blink,” Staples told CNN of Kaius, the wide-eyed baby gorilla he’s reared from birth.In the early months, Kaius slept in Staples’ bedroom, and the zookeeper regularly fed him milk and changed his diapers – a difficult task to perform on a primate that’s much stronger than a human baby and able to grip with both his hands and feet.“With a baby, you’ve only got to deal with some little hands that might help, but with a gorilla, he was really right into making it very difficult,” he said. “I just laughed I thought, ‘Oh my goodness.’”As he got older, Kaius would cl...

Prigozhin’s lesson for Trump & Co: Don’t trust Putin’s promises

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:11:54 GMT

KYIV — U.S. Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has joined ex-President Donald Trump in believing that there are deals in good faith to be made with Russian President Vladimir Putin. That’s a position that was also taken last December by French President Emmanuel Macron, who held out the prospect of negotiating security guarantees for Russia with Putin under a new security architecture for Europe. You try telling Yevgeny Prigozhin that the Kremlin keeps its word in deals. Two months ago, after Prigozhin’s abortive coup, Russia’s security services said they wouldn’t be pressing charges and Prigozhin was tricked into a false sense that he had received security guarantees. Putin’s real verdict was served up as an explosion in a private jet at 28,000 feet.Any Ukrainian can tell you Russia’s assurances that it’s not going to invade are worth zero. Moscow was meant to respect Ukrainian sovereignty and grant Kyiv security guarantees acc...

A new proposal from Boston Mayor Michelle Wu would give Boston police officers the power to take down tents and tarps in the area of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard, Wu announced Friday. Wu announced the proposal alongside other city leaders at an event in Roxbury as officials continue efforts to tackle the ongoing substance use disorder, mental health and homelessness crisis in the area known as “Mass and Cass.”Now moving forward, Wu said she will ask the Boston City Council to approve the proposed ordinance allowing police to take down tents and other structures in cases where people living inside are offered alternative places to live, services, transportation and space to store their belongings. Among plans, Wu said the city is setting up an alternative location with 30 beds to help shelter people currently living at Mass and Cass. “We do not believe that living on the street in a tent in the public way is safe for anyone when there is adequate shel...
