Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer asks judge to find her not guilty after mistrial

Kevin Reddington says prosecution did not offer evidence that client’s killing of her children constituted murder

Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer on Thursday asked the judge who oversaw the Massachusetts woman’s murder trial to declare her not guilty of murder by reason of insanity, saying prosecutors had failed to ⁠prove that, despite being mentally ill, ⁠she knew killing her ​three young children would be wrong.

Defense attorney Kevin Reddington made the request to Judge William Sullivan six days after the trial ended in a deadlock, and as a fourth member of ⁠the 12-member jury went public to describe how a single juror had prevented the panel from reaching a unanimous verdict.

De Tweede Kamer debatteerde donderdag over de spelregels voor demonstreren. De plannen van het kabinet om deze regels aan te scherpen gaan volgens een meerderheid niet ver genoeg. „Het blijft een politieke afweging”, zegt VVD-Kamerlid Claire Martens-America.

Wall Street omlaag door stijging olieprijzen en inflatiezorgen

NEW YORK (ANP) - De Amerikaanse aandelenbeurzen zijn donderdag opnieuw met verliezen gesloten. De stemming op Wall Street werd gedrukt door de verder stijgende olieprijzen, waardoor de inflatiezorgen nog meer toenamen. De olieprijzen stegen meer dan 6 procent en staan nu op de hoogste niveaus sinds mei. Brentolie steeg tot 108 dollar per vat en Amerikaanse olie kost ruim 102 dollar per vat.

Deze maand zijn de olieprijzen sterk gestegen door het escalerende geweld in het Midden-Oosten. Beleggers vrezen dat daardoor de inflatie nog meer wordt aangewakkerd, waardoor de Amerikaanse centrale bank de rente kan verhogen. De Federal Reserve neemt volgende week een nieuw rentebesluit en de verwachting dat er een verhoging komt wordt steeds sterker. Vrijdag komen cijfers over de inflatie die ook van groot belang zijn voor de Fed.

De Dow-Jonesindex daalde 0,6 procent tot 52.064,10 punten. De brede S&P 500 zakte 0,6 procent tot 7591,70 punten en de technologiegraadmeter Nasdaq verloor 0,7 procent tot 26.081,73 punten.

IMDb Adds 'Digital Creator' Profiles For the First Time

IMDb is introducing "Digital Creator" as a new professional category on IMDb and IMDbPro, giving streamers, vloggers, influencers, video essayists, and other online creators a "dedicated way to represent [their] work and connect with audiences, industry peers, and potential employers," according to IMDb. Variety reports: The category includes sub-professions to further specify their work, including "Streamer," "Vlogger," "Video Essayist," "Video Creator," "Gaming Creator" and "Influencer."

The "Digital Creator" designation functions as a professional category on IMDb and IMDbPro. Creators can feature multiple professions on their page, so someone who is both a digital creator and an actor can "represent the full scope of their work in one place," per the company. No existing film or TV credits are required to establish a profile as a Digital Creator.

StamCafé. 1 jaar sinds de moord op Charlie Kirk, en hoe Jason Arday Woke 1 mee het graf in nam

Social

Waarom is Charlie Kirk niet de martelaar geworden die hij had kunnen zijn? Dat zouden we hier helemaal uit kunnen schrijven, maar gelukkig is dat waar de video over gaat! Kleine hint wel: als je de esthetische slag verliest, dan levert ook je wereldbeeld en ethiek aan resonantie in, want meer dan eens gaat esthetiek vooraf aan ethiek. Verder ook nog over het door Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) met het citaat "Woke 1 was crazy" ten einde verklaarde Woke 1, hoe Jason Arday Woke 1 definitief mee het graf in nam, en Woke 2, namelijk het Third Worldism van burgemeester Mamdani & Co. Proost makkers.
