Fugitive Brian Laundrie left to go ‘for a hike’ in Florida swampland a day earlier than his parents originally told police, Dailymail.com can reveal.

Dad Christopher, 62, and mom Roberta, 55, told detectives he vanished on the evening of Tuesday, September 14 – two weeks after he returned alone from the ill-fated cross-country road trip with girlfriend Gabby Petito, 22.

But the Laundrie lawyer Steve Bertolino says the parents have now corrected their version of events and say their son disappeared on Monday, September 13.

The Laundries did not report their son missing until the Thursday of that week.

Bertolino told Dailymail.com: ‘The Laundries were basing the date Brian left on their recollection of certain events.

‘Upon further communication with the FBI and confirmation of the Mustang being at the Laundrie residence on Wednesday, September 15, we now believe the day Brian left to hike in the preserve was Monday, September 13.

Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito are pictured together. Laundrie is now believed to have gotten a four-day headstart on authorities 

Police have previously said Laundrie’s silver Ford Mustang convertible was given a police ticket at one of the entrances to the alligator-infested Carlton Reserve near his home in North Port, Florida, when left there on the Tuesday night.

Bertolino did not respond when asked at what time Brian left the house on the Monday.

However Dailymail.com arrived at the Laundrie home to cover the story of Gabby’s disappearance at 1pm that day. The Mustang was not on the driveway, suggesting Brian had already vanished.

Officers had turned up at the Laundrie house on the night of Saturday, September 11 to speak with Brian. It was just hours after Gabby’s frantic mom Nichole Schmidt reported her missing at around 7pm to her local sheriff’s office near her own home on Long Island, New York.

However the Laundrie parents refused ‘to make Brian available’ at the doorstep, saying everything should be handled through Bertolino.

Dailymail.com has confirmed no officers actually saw Brian that night at the home. North Port police said: ‘He was not seen.’

Spokesman Josh Taylor added: ‘I would preface that by saying I cannot speak on if we saw him after that, for the integrity of the investigation.’    

The Florida home of Brian Laundrie and his parents is seen at 1.09pm on Monday September 13

It is not clear why the Laundries did not alert authorities to their son’s disappearance for four days.

Nor is it clear if authorities ever received proof of Laundrie being in the family home on September 11 or entering the Carlton Reserve – where they have focused much of the more than $1 million search based on the information from Laundrie’s parents. 

Laundrie’s headstart on authorities has so far proved to be problematic for investigators who are yet to locate the 23-year-old after a more than two week manhunt. 

Questions continue to mount about what Laundrie’s parents know about the doomed cross-country trip and their son’s current whereabouts. 

When Petito was reported missing on September 11, Christopher and Roberta Laundrie refused to let authorities speak to their son.

They then didn’t tell police he had vanished until three days after they allegedly last saw him on September 14, sparking a nationwide manhunt. 

Rumors have also been circulating that both Laundrie and his mom have been using burner phones.    

Petito’s dad Joe Petito hit out at the Laundrie parents in a new Dr. Phil interview, which aired Tuesday, calling them ‘cowards’ who ‘don’t know how to stand up for their actions’. 

The Laundrirs’ attorney Steve Bertolino brushed off the inconsistency putting it down to ‘recollection of certain events’ in a text sent to WFLA

Joe and Petito’s mom Nicole Schmidt said they had tried calling and texting the Laundries multiple times when they grew concerned about not hearing from their daughter in early September – but they never replied.  

Laundrie’s sister Cassie has also questioned her parents’ involvement in her brother’s disappearance, urging them to ‘come clean’ about what they know in an interview with ABC’s GMA, which aired Tuesday.  

While she insisted she had nothing to do with Laundrie’s disappearance, she admitted she wasn’t so sure about her parents Christopher and Roberta Laundrie who she urged to cooperate with investigators.

‘I don’t know if my parents are involved,’ said Cassie. ‘I think if they are, then they should come clean.’  

Cassie said she would ‘turn him in’ if she knew where her brother was and said she doesn’t know ‘what to think’ about what happened on the young couple’s doomed cross-country trip.  

Laundrie’s sister has come under fire in recent days after it emerged she had seen her brother twice in the time between him returning home to Florida and going on the run – despite previously claiming she hadn’t spoken to him.

The significant change in the timeline of Laundrie’s disappearance was revealed the same day the attorney also admitted Laundrie took a round trip to Florida in the days leading up to Petito’s disappearance.

Bertolino has claimed the fugitive flew home to Florida ‘to empty a storage unit’ five days after he and Gabby Petito got into a physical fight in Utah – before then rejoining his fiancee just two days before she made her final phone call to her family.

Attorney Steve Bertolino told Newsday Tuesday that Laundrie, 23, took a commercial flight from Salt Lake City, Utah to Tampa, Florida, on August 17.

Five days later, on August 23, Laundrie then took a return flight ‘to rejoin Gabby’ for the remainder of their trip. 

Bertolino said the purpose of the fleeting visit was to pick up some items and close the storage unit because the young couple were thinking of ‘extending the road trip’ which was due to end in Oregon in October.   

But the trip was in fact cut short, with Laundrie driving the couple’s white campervan back to his family’s home in North Port, Florida, on September 1 while Petito’s body was discovered in a park in Wyoming over two weeks later on September 19. 

Brian Laundrie’s sister Cassie has urged her fugitive brother to ‘come forward’ and for her parents to ‘come clean’ if they know anything 

Laundrie remains at large with a nationwide manhunt under way for the only person of interest in his fiancee’s homicide.

The additional details of the couple’s whereabouts – and the fact they separated for five days – raises more questions about what happened on the doomed cross-country trip. 

Bertolino said he believed the couple shared the costs for Laundrie to make the detour. 

‘To my knowledge, Brian and Gabby paid for the flights as they were sharing expenses,’ the attorney said. 

‘Brian flew home to obtain some items and empty and close the storage unit to save money as they contemplated extending the road trip.’ 

This revelation reiterates what Petito’s mom Nicole Schmidt told DailyMail.com exclusively earlier on in the search. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to the FBI Denver Office – which is leading the manhunt for Laundrie – to confirm the timeline detailed by Bertolino. 

Laundrie’s alleged flight back to Florida came just days after the couple were separated by police in Moab, Utah, following a domestic incident. 

Bodycam footage from the August 12 encounter reveals a distraught Petito telling cops her fiance had hit her and cut her face by grabbing her ‘with his nail’ during a fight when he locked her out of their van. 

‘He like grabbed me with his nail, and I guess that’s why it looks, I definitely have a cut right here. I can feel it, when I touch it it burns,’ she tells the officer.   

The 22-year-old is then seen defending Laundrie saying she ‘hit him first’, after an officer points out marks on her arms and face. 

Police pulled over the couple’s van in Moab, Utah, on August 12 following reports of a man hitting a woman 

The new bodycam shows Petito telling the cop Laundrie hit her. According to attorney Steve Bertolino, Laundrie took a commercial flight from Salt Lake City, Utah to Tampa, Florida, five days later on August 17

Police had responded to a 911 call from a bystander who said he had seen a man slapping a woman outside the nearby Mayflower grocery store before driving off in a white van. 

Cops determined Petito was the ‘primary aggressor’ and separated the couple for the night – meaning they are likely to have reunited on August 13. 

Body camera video from one Moab officer was released two weeks ago, while Petito was still a missing person and the audio was unclear at times. 

Footage from the second officer’s body-worn camera was released last week, revealing Petito did admit to her fiancee hitting her. 

According to the account given by Laundrie’s attorney, it was five days after this police callout that Laundrie left his fiancee in Utah and flew to Florida. 

It is not clear if Laundrie stayed at his parents’ home in North Port or who he saw during that five-day period. 

It is also not clear what Petito did during this timeframe as she stayed back in Utah with the couple’s campervan.

In police bodycam footage on August 12, Petito tells the officer she does not usually drive the vehicle. 

On August 19, Petito posted two photos on Instagram – an aerial view of the couple’s campervan and a photo showing what appears to be the back of Laundrie’s head sitting in front of her in the back of the van.  

Laundrie is seen in bodycam from the August 12 incident where cops separated the couple for the night 

‘Almost immediately after telling @bizarre_design_ how happy it made me to see that people were truly respectful of the park, I watched some guy leave his processed pre-packaged plastic conglomerate of lunch garbage on the picnic table!’ she captioned the post. 

It is not clear when those photos were taken.  

The timing of Laundrie’s return on August 23 could also be significant as it comes just two days before Petito made her final phone call to her mom on August 25, where she told her she was in Grand Teton National Park.

She is thought to have last been seen alive on August 27 at the Merry Piglets Tex-mex restaurant in Jackson, Wyoming, where the manager said she witnessed an ‘incident’ involving the couple. 

‘Yes, we can confirm Gabby and Brian were in Merry Piglets … We have already notified the FBI and they are aware. We are letting them do their jobs and we are respecting Gabby’s family and have nothing further to comment,’ the restaurant said in an Instagram post last month. 

Two witnesses in the restaurant – Nina Angelo and her boyfriend Matt England – described seeing a ‘commotion’ between the couple.

It is not clear what Laundrie and Petito did within the five-day period they were said to have separated. Petito posted this photo on Instagram appearing to show the back of Laundrie’s head on August 19 – when he was reportedly in Florida

Angelo previously told CNN Petito was crying and Laundrie was visibly angry, going in and out of the restaurant several times and appearing angry with the staff.

The coroner has not released details on when Petito died.

A preliminary autopsy ruled her death a homicide but cause of death is still unknown.  

On September 1, just nine days after Laundrie is said to have returned from Florida to Utah, he arrived back at his family’s home in North Port without his fiancee but driving their van.

Petito was reported missing on September 11 by her mom after not hearing from her daughter for multiple days and coming up against a wall of silence from Laundrie and his parents. 

Laundrie lawyered up and refused to speak to cops about his fiancee’s whereabouts before going on the run. 

His parents reported him as missing on September 17, telling authorities they had not seen him since September 14 when he went on a hike in the alligator-infested Carlton Reserve in North Port. 

Local police and the FBI have now been searching for Laundrie for almost three weeks.

NOTICIAS  TELEMUNDO  PRESENTS:

“MURIENDO POR CRUZAR,” AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCREASING NUMBER OF IMMIGRANT DEATHS ALONG THE BORDER, THIS SUNDAY, AUGUST 3 AT 6 P.M./5 C

Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval present the Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production

Miami – July 31, 2014 – Telemundo presents “Muriendo por Cruzar”, a documentary that investigates why increasing numbers of immigrants are dying while trying to cross the US-Mexican border near the city of Falfurrias, Texas, this Sunday, August 3 at 6PM/5 C.  The Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production, presented by Noticias Telemundo journalists Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval, reveals the obstacles immigrants face once they cross into US territory, including extreme weather conditions, as they try to evade the border patrol.  “Muriendo por Cruzar” is part of Noticias Telemundo’s special coverage of the crisis on the border and immigration reform.

 

“‘Muriendo por Cruzar’” dares to ask questions that reveal the actual conditions undocumented immigrants face as they try to start a new life in the United States,” said Alina Falcón, Telemundo’s Executive Vice President for News and Alternative Programming.  “Our collaboration with The Weather Channel was very productive. They have a unique expertise in covering the impact of weather on people’s lives, as we do in covering immigration reform and the border crisis. The result is a compelling documentary that exposes a harrowing reality.”

“Muriendo por Cruzar” is the first co-production by Telemundo and The Weather Channel.  Both networks are part of NBCUniversal.

Perdón, señora, desde arriba, desde el avión, el helicóptero, ¿se ve lo que pasa abajo? Usted no es de salir a comer algo cerca de la oficina –como hacen a veces el negro Obama o el Pepe Mujica–, por eso la pregunta. Supongo que no lee los medios “enemigos”, pero tampoco creo que se trague enteros los que su gobierno paga. ¿Le cuentan? ¿Quién? ¿Parrilli? ¿Zannini? ¿Aníbal? Los alcahuetes le dirán siempre lo que quiere oír. ¿Entonces?

Abajo, señora, la situación está muy jodida, al borde de la ira, y parece que ahí, arriba, nadie se entera. Usted me dirá, no te equivoques, yo sé todo, por eso “estoy un poquito nerviosa”, casi lloro. Pasa, señora, que con llorar solamente no hacemos nada. Hasta el Papa llora, por mail. ¿Se lo leyeron? Dice que lloró por los desalojados de Lugano. El asunto es hacer algo para que las cosas cambien de verdad.

Tal vez con un ejemplo alcance para que se entienda lo que le quiero decir. ¿Se acuerda de la película El exilio de Gardel, dirigida por Pino Solanas? A propósito, a modo de anécdota, podría contarle sobre las deudas que le dejó Pino a quien fue el productor, Envar “Cacho” El Kadri, –JP, FAP– exiliado en los 70, amenazado por la Triple A, organización paramilitar también peronista. Pero, pobre Pino, dejemos que los peronistas se hagan cargo de su historia y salden sus cuentas.

Vamos a lo que importa. La película se cerraba con la entonces muy joven actriz Gabriela Toscano, cantando un tanguito esperanzador que decía: “Un país que me ayude a vivir/ y ante todo que respete/ aunque lleves un chupete…/ Un país donde pueda elegir/ que valga tu opinión/ aunque seas un ratón…/ Un país donde pueda ser yo/ sin sentirse cucaracha/ ni bajarte la bombacha/ Qué país será ese país/donde puedas trabajar/ sin tener que mendigar…

Hace casi treinta años ya, señora. Usted podría decirme, con sus ochenta millones en la cuenta, sus hoteles y sus casas –acumuladas apretando gente y cobrando de la plata de todos–, que ese país le cumplió todos los sueños. Pero, señora, aunque “Yo” es su pronombre personal favorito en cada discurso, y nos cuente su vida y lo que sufre por nosotros y demás, se trata de la responsabilidad que le cabe a usted en la construcción de un país donde “todos” los pibes puedan definir su propio “yo” sin sentirse cucarachas sostenidas a plan social o subsidio. Entre usted y Néstor son 12 años ya, ahí, arriba, sin contar todos los cargos anteriores.

Un país, señora, “que ayude a vivir”. No a morir. ¿Lleva la cuenta, señora? ¿Hace falta que se los recuerde? Muertos en Cromañón, por viajar en tren, por obras que no se hicieron para contener las inundaciones, por la “sensación de inseguridad”, por desnutrición, por el narcotráfico, entre barras del fútbol, entre barras de los sindicatos, por violencia de género, por un celular, por una bicicleta, por el “gatillo fácil”, en “defensa propia”. ¿Tiene idea de la edad promedio de la mayoría? Menos de treinta. ¿Le parece casual?

Póngase por un momento en el lugar de los familiares y amigos de las víctimas. ¿Qué queda de ellos si logran superar el dolor, la bronca, la terrible sensación de que nunca pagarán todos los culpables, de que no habrá justicia? ¿De qué país posible se les puede hablar? En ese caldo espeso, hirviente, violento, revuelven el odio los tipos como Berni, con sus mensajes xenófobos. Otra vez sopa, de represión. ¿Le suena Berni, el teniente coronel? Es el “secretario de Seguridad” de su gobierno.

Haga algo, señora, el riesgo de un brote de ira es inminente. Incuba en el subconsciente de una sociedad que se siente desamparada. Son cuarenta años ya de ver morir las ilusiones de una generación tras otra. Desarme la lengua. Admita que necesitan ayuda para terminar. Pida colaboración a los líderes sociales y técnicos que les parezcan más sensatos. Usted tiene olfato, señora, lleva veinte años comiendo del poder. ¿No huele el humito de la olla popular ahora? ¿No ve arremolinarse el aire y alzarse los tornados de la furia?

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., defended hiring officials from the National Security Council to assist in the panel’s oversight of the Trump administration.

“If the president is worried about our hiring any former administration people, maybe he should work on being a better employer,” Schiff said, according to CNN.

Schiff said the committee has a “long tradition of hiring out of the intelligence community, out of the National Security Council.”

An aide clarified that no recent committee hire came directly from the White House.

The Hill reported one of the hires was Abigail Grace, who served on the NSC staff from 2016-2018. It was not clear if she was the only person hired who had worked on the NSC staff during the Trump administration.

Trump fumed about the hires Thursday morning on Twitter, accusing Democratic-led committees of “stealing” people who work at the White House.

“A continuation of Witch Hunt!” he wrote.

At his State of the Union address, Trump told Democrats not to investigate him, saying, “If there is going to peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation.”

A day after the comment, Schiff announced the Intelligence Committee would investigate Trump’s finances.

Todos los fanáticos de ‘Desnudando la noticia’ están cruzando los dedos para que Venezuela pase a cuartos de final de la Copa América y así puedan ver cómo las integrantes de este curioso canal de noticias cumplen su promesa de desnudarse por su país.

Esta promesa alborotó a sus más fieles seguidores, entre los que se encuentran miles de peruanos, quienes en su cuenta de Facebook manifestaron que, si bien son hinchas de la selección peruana, festejarían el pase de la ‘vinotinto’ a cuartos de la copa con tal de ver a las modelos como ‘Dios las trajo al mundo’.

Esta promesa ha llegado a oídos del seleccionado venezolano, quienes solo atinan a reírse por esta hazaña y evitan dar declaraciones al respecto.

La campaña #MeDesnudopor, seguido de la selección a la que apoyas, busca eliminar la censura y buscar el máximo apoyo a las selecciones que disputarán desde este jueves 11 de junio, el torneo más antiguo a nivel de selecciones.

´Rocky´ interrumpió una transmisión en vivo desde el Santuario de Santa Rosa, hecho que fue visto por la televidente, que lo identificó y acudió rápidamente a buscarlo. El reencuentro fue emotivo.






Una anciana se reencontró con su perro perdido tras verlo en una transmisión en vivo de RPP Noticias desde el Santuario de Santa Rosa.

Nuestro reportero Gerardo Reyna estaba realizando una nota periodística desde el citado templo, a propósito de la festividad de la santa limeña, a realizarse el día de mañana, cuando el animal apareció.

El perro interrumpió la transmisión en vivo y no paraba de mordisquear los cables de nuestros equipos. De hecho, en un determinado momento, el can pasó a protagonizar la nota.

Afortunadamente, la transmisión de RPP Noticias era vista por Doris Yepes Cáceres, dueña del perrito, que estaba extraviado desde hace varios días.

La mujer no lo pensó dos veces y acudió raudamente hasta el Santuario de Santa Rosa, donde se dio el emotivo reencuentro.

La anciana se mostró agradecida con RPP Noticias por haber permitido el reencuentro con su mascota, a quien identificó como ‘Rocky’.

“Estoy muy agradecida a ustedes, los reporteros. Tuve la suerte de encontrar a mi hijo que es mi engreído. Lloraba toda la semana extrañando a mi hijo, a quien veo más delgado”, dijo.

“Doy gracias a Santa Rosita y a Dios haber encontrado a mi perrito, que es como un hijo para mí”, añadió.

La mujer dijo que tiene un albergue en el Rímac, donde -aparte de Rocky- tiene nueve perros y 40 gatos.

A major oil spill off the coast of Southern California has forced Huntington Beach and activities scheduled to take place in the region to shut down.

A leak from an offshore oil production facility leaked 3,000 barrels of oil, which is about 126,000 gallons, on Saturday, said Huntington Beach Mayor Kim Carr.

The U.S. Coast Guard was notified of the spill around 9 a.m. Saturday, Carr said. By early Sunday morning, the oil had reached the shore. It had entered the Talbert Marshlands and the Santa Ana River Trail, fanning out over an area of about 5.8 nautical miles, the city of Huntington Beach announced in a press release Sunday morning.

The size of the spill “demanded prompt and aggressive action,” officials said.

Skimming equipment and booms have been deployed to prevent the oil from flowing into the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve and Huntington Beach Wetlands, according to the city. It was not immediately clear what caused the spill.

The final day of the Pacific Airshow was canceled in order to facilitate cleanup operations, city officials announced Sunday morning. In addition, residents were advised not to swim, surf or exercise near the beach due to the potential health hazards, such as toxic fumes.

The oil spill is already affecting wildlife, with dead birds and fish already washing up on the beaches, and the damage to the Talbert Wetlands is “significant,” Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley tweeted.

Newport Beach Mayor Brad Avery reported to Foley that he saw dolphins swimming through the slick oil plumes as he headed back to shore from Catalina, Foley tweeted.

The California Department of Wildlife has set up a hotline to report wildlife impacted by the oil. Individuals are advised not to handle the wildlife but to report incidents to 877-823-6926.

President Biden’s Friday night stump speech in Virginia was interrupted by anti-pipeline protesters — leading the commander-in-chief to tell his audience to ignore the hecklers.

Biden was about two minutes into his remarks at an Arlington rally for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe when a group of people began yelling “Stop Line 3!” referring to a controversial oil pipeline project in northern Minnesota.

The rest of the crowd attempted to drown out the protesters by booing and chanting “Let’s go, Joe!” as the president tried to restore order.

“That’s OK, that’s all right,” Biden said. “No, no, no, no. Let ’em talk. That’s OK. Look, this is not a Trump rally. Let ’em holler. No one’s paying attention.”

The president spoke before an enthusiastic and largely unmasked crowd of around 3,000 people in support of McAuliffe, a longtime Democratic party heavyweight who is seeking another term as Virginia’s governor. McAuliffe previously held that office from 2014 to 2018. Under Virginia law, governors cannot run for a second consecutive term.

McAuliffe is favored to defeat his Republican opponent, private equity executive Glenn Youngkin. While the race is seen as competitive, the rapid growth of northern Virginia’s Washington, DC suburbs has tipped the commonwealth into the reliably Democratic column. No Republican presidential candidate has won Virginia since George W. Bush in 2004 and the last GOPer elected governor was Bob McDonnell in 2009.

“You’re not gonna find anyone, I mean anyone, who knows how to get more done for Virginia than Terry,” Biden said. “Off-year election, the country’s looking. This is a big deal.”

Still, as one of only two regularly scheduled governor’s races this year (New Jersey being the other), the Virginia contest is drawing outsize national attention as a potential measuring stick of voter sentiment ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

When not touting his administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the economy, Biden attempted to cast Youngkin as an “acolyte of Donald Trump.”

“I ran against Donald Trump in Virginia and so is Terry,” the president said at one point. “And I whipped Donald Trump in Virginia and so will Terry.”

Biden also accused Republicans of offering “nothing more than fear, lies and broken promises.”

“The United States is based on — the only country in the world based on the proposition, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident,’ that all women and men are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” he said. “We’ve never met the test, but we’ve never walked away from it like the Republicans have.”

As jury selection continued for a third day Thursday in the trial for ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, one juror was dismissed by the court with cause after explaining that she could not “un-see” what she described as the “traumatizing” bystander video showing a knee pressed to George Floyd’s neck – and stating that the rioting that following his death was necessary to advance the BLM movement.

Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill dismissed the woman identified as “Juror #37,” expressing doubts that she could reasonably presume Chauvin is innocent until proven guilty. By the end of day Wednesday, five jurors – out of ultimately 14 sought – had been seated, and questioning continues Thursday. 

“I’m going to focus on one issue and that’s the presumption of innocence,” Cahill said, addressing “Juror #37.” “Do you think you could do that — presume that he is innocent as you enter the courtroom?”

“I wouldn’t like that verdict,” she stated, before the judge interjected, “So if it if it was ‘not guilty.'”

Cahill thanked the woman for his honestly and dismissed her. Addressing the defense and prosecutors after she left, the judge explained, “When I finally gave her the space to say, how do you feel, do you think sitting here right now and it has to be right now, not later, do you can you presume the defendant innocent? She answered unequivocally, no.”

In an earlier line of questioning lead by Chauvin’s attorney, Eric Nelson, the woman reiterated that she wrote a lengthy paragraph on her juror questionnaire that she believed that Chauvin had a “hateful look on his face” as he pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck in the bystander video that went viral online last May.

She said in the questionnaire that she had a neutral opinion toward Floyd because she did not know him personally, but she saw media reports of family members saying he was a “good guy.” Before filling out the questionnaire, the woman said she watched police body-camera footage showing Chauvin and Floyd’s interactions on May 25, 2020 about three or four times – but she was only able to view the viral bystander video from start to finish once due to her strong emotional response.

“The one where you can hear him crying out for his mom,” she said. “I was only able to watch that one time.”

The juror wrote in the questionnaire that she cried upon watching to video. Because the bystander video is submitted as evidence in the case, Nelson pointed out that anyone who sits on the jury would need to watch the video again.

The juror wrote in the questionnaire that her community has been both negatively and positively affected. 

“I mean negatively affected because there was a life taken — positively affected because it’s become a movement and the whole world knows about it” she told the court, explaining the response.

Nelson pressed as to whether she considered property damage that occurred during rioting following Floyd’s death a negative impact. 

“I feel like if that was what needed to happen in order for this to be brought to the world’s attention and that’s what needed to happen,” she said.

Nelson read the next question in the questionnaire that asked: “No matter what you have seen or heard about this case and no matter what opinions you might have formed, can you put all of that aside and decide this case only on the evidence you receive in court, follow the law and decide the case in a fair and impartial manner?”

DEREK CHAUVIN TRIAL JUROR DISMISSED OVER CONCERNS GEORGE FLOYD RIOTERS COULD ATTACK HIS HOME

The woman wrote, “Yes, I can be fair and follow the law, but I cannot see that video.”

“This is what I’m asking you to do, is looking in your heart and looking in your mind, can you assure us unequivocally that you can set all of that aside? All of that and focus only on the evidence that’s presented in this courtroom?” Nelson asked.

“I can assure you,” she responded. “But like you mentioned earlier, the video is going to be a big part of evidence and there’s no changing my mind about that.”

Following the juror’s dismissal, Special Attorney for the State Steven Schleicher objected to that fact that the court moved to dismiss her with cause, arguing that she stated that she could put her opinions aside in the case and if the defense wanted to use their peremptory challenges to remove her, they could have.

Nelson said the defense made a motion for cause over “several equivocal statements” made by the juror over her ability to be impartial in terms of how the video had impacted her emotionally. Cahill granted that motion and dismissed her with cause over the presumption of innocence question.

“I recognize that this juror said that she could set aside her opinions,” Nelson said. “However, whenever pressed even by the state, she had very difficult, a very difficult time acknowledging that she could apply the presumption of innocence because of her viewing of the video. And then it would be essentially that she was had already made up her mind.”

    La boxeadora trujillana no renuncia al título mundial y pedirá otra pelea con Daniela Bermúdez, que le ganó el último sábado.

    Con la fe intacta. Linda Lecca ha perdido una batalla, pero no la guerra, a esas ganas de luchar y triunfar. A pesar de haber perdido la posibilidad de alcanzar el título mundial supermosca OMB, el último sábado, ante la argentina Daniela Bermúdez, nuestra boxeadora alimenta sus ansias de gloria.

    “Estoy convencida de que voy a conseguir el título para mi país, que tengo la capacidad para vencer a la ‘Bonita. Hubo algunas irregularidades desde el inicio. Nos dieron guantes inadecuados, no los que solicitamos. También está el tema de la ropa, que a mí me cuesta estar cambiándome y enfrió mi mejor momento”, comentó Lecca, refiriéndose al sexto round cuando el réferi detuvo el combate, que era parejo hasta ese instante.

    “Mi entrenador lanzó la toalla en el octavo round, pero no me gustó eso porque me sentía bien y quería pelear hasta el final. Quizá de afuera se vio otra cosa. Sé que tendré mi revancha y ojalá sea en Lima”, agregó.

    Su mánager Jorge Bartra denunció una serie de irregularidades que perjudicaron el desenvolvimiento de la peruana. “Hubo cosas raras. A Linda le dieron unos guantes usados y talla 10 cuando ella usa 8. Tampoco se permitió ver el vendaje de su rival y no hubo control antidoping”, apuntó.

    Five federal government employees are suing President TrumpDonald John TrumpGovernment workers protest outside White House on shutdown day 20 Fed chief Powell: Prolonged shutdown will harm US economy Senators say questions remain on Trump strategy in Syria after briefing MORE and members of his administration, alleging that they’ve been unlawfully required to work without pay and barred from seeking alternative jobs during the ongoing partial government shutdown.

    The lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, argues that requiring workers to report for duty without pay during the shutdown violates the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude.

    The lawsuit also claims that the government violated the plaintiffs’ Fifth Amendment rights by limiting their ability to seek alternative employment during the shutdown, which began Dec. 22. 

    The plaintiffs are not identified, but two work for the Department of Justice, and the other three work for the Departments of Transportation, Agriculture and Homeland Security. Four of the individuals have been required to work without pay during the shutdown, while one has been deemed nonessential, according to the lawsuit.

    The complaint names President Trump, Transportation Secretary Elaine ChaoElaine Lan ChaoTrump’s shifting Cabinet to introduce new faces Trump to attend World Economic Forum in Davos for second straight year George H.W. Bush remembered at Kennedy Center Honors MORE, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen NielsenKirstjen Michele NielsenTrump cancels Davos trip over shutdown The Hill’s Morning Report — Groundhog Day: Negotiations implode as shutdown reaches 20 days Terrorism is not a thing to cry wolf about MORE, acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and Agriculture Secretary Sonny PerdueGeorge (Sonny) Ervin PerdueUSDA extends deadline for farmers hurt by tariffs to seek aid Food stamp benefits will continue in February despite shutdown: USDA Trump’s shifting Cabinet to introduce new faces MORE

    The lawsuit cites Trump’s comments earlier this month that the shutdown could go on for “months or even years,” leaving the plaintiffs in limbo for an extended period.

    The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction barring the government from requiring employees to report for work without pay during the shutdown, and prohibiting the government from restricting employees’ ability to work elsewhere during the shutdown. About 800,000 federal workers have been furloughed or forced to work without pay for the time being due to the shutdown.

    Two federal employees’ unions have already sued the Trump administration over the partial government shutdown, which has dragged on for 20 days and counting.

    The National Treasury Employees Union, which represents 150,000 members at 33 federal agencies, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alleging that hundreds of thousands of workers are being illegally forced to work without pay.

    The American Federation of Government Employees union announced a similar lawsuit last week.

    Trump has demanded for weeks that Congress provide more than $5 billion in funding for his proposed wall, something Democrats have staunchly opposed. The disagreement has been at the heart of the shutdown, which affects roughly 25 percent of the government.

    The president has pledged to hold out for funding for the wall, arguing that furloughed federal workers support his position. 

    The Democratic-led House on Thursday passed a standalone spending measure Thursday to provide funding for the Departments of Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and other agencies. The bills are unlikely to be taken up in the Senate.

    Updated at 6:00 a.m. ET

    At least two victims are dead, including an 11-year-old girl, and about 17 others were injured in a mass stabbing attack near Tokyo, Tuesday morning.

    A man who was killed was in his 30s and an official with Japan’s Foreign Ministry, NPR’s Anthony Kuhn reported.

    Japanese broadcaster NHK quoted officials who said a knife-wielding man attacked a group of elementary school children as they were boarding a school bus at about 7:45 a.m. local time in the city of Kawasaki.

    The suspect reportedly stabbed himself in the neck before he was detained. He has since died from his injuries, according to the broadcaster.

    An eyewitness told police that the suspect, armed with two knives, approached the school bus and began stabbing children “one after another,” NHK said.

    Most of the victims are students at Caritas Elementary School, a private Catholic school run by Canadian nuns. They suffered non-life-threatening injuries, the Associate Press reported.

    “A man stabbed them,” Dai Nagase, spokesman for the Kawasaki Fire Department, told AFP. “We received an emergency call at 7:44 am, which said four elementary school children were stabbed.”

    The motive for the attack is unknown.

    Throughout the morning and into the afternoon, people left offerings of flowers and drinks on the sidewalk near the site of the incident where dried bloodstains were still visible.

    The fatal incident took place during President Donald Trump’s visit celebrating the start of the Emperor Naruhito’s new reign. He expressed his condolences and support while visiting a Japanese warship at the port of Yokosuka.

    This is a developing story. Some facts reported by the media may later turn out to be wrong. We will focus on reports from police officials and other authorities, credible news outlets and reporters who are at the scene. We will update as the situation develops.

    The collusion fantasy has officially given way to the impeachment fantasy.

    The Left’s passionate investment in the Mueller investigation had much to do with shock and disbelief at Trump’s victory in 2016 and the hope of early deliverance — the special counsel probe as delectable revenge and deus ex machina.

    The expectation that Mueller would blow Trump out of the White House with proof of collusion with Russia has, not surprisingly, come up empty. No worries. If Volume I of the Mueller report, on Russia, didn’t pan out, there’s always Volume II, on alleged obstruction.

    When you are desperate to, in the memorable words of Democratic freshman congresswoman Rashida Tlaib “impeach this mother—,” any rationale will do.

    If House Democrats impeach Trump, though, they will be sorely disappointed. They will wake up the day afterward and after all the drama and wall-to-wall coverage, he’ll still be president of the United States, tweeting per usual.

    Nancy Pelosi, who has bizarrely become the backstop of reason in Democratic politics, is reluctant to go down this path. The question is whether she will get swamped by her base, just as the Republican House leadership did in 1998.

    Impeachment has a long history in Anglo-America. The British statesman Edmund Burke called it “the great guardian of the purity of the Constitution,” and Cass Sunstein notes in his book on impeachment that the US Constitution probably wouldn’t have gotten ratified without a provision for it.

    Yet it is widely misunderstood. Pelosi said in 2017 that the president can only be impeached for breaking the law, a claim that Trump also tweeted on Monday. This may be an understanding convenient for both of them, but it is incorrect.

    “High crimes and misdemeanors” don’t have to be technically legal in nature. Alexander Hamilton explained in Federalist 65 that grounds for impeachment are “the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.”

    So it doesn’t matter that Mueller pulled up short of accusing Trump of a crime. More notable is how Trump’s machinations came to nothing.

    He unsuccessfully tried to crimp an investigation that found no underlying offense, while his White House officially cooperated with the probe. We only know in such detail the episodes Mueller catalogues because the White House coughed up so much material and so many witnesses, up to and including the White House counsel.

    What Trump is guilty of — shambolic, unfocused and ultimately ineffectual scheming — is closer to the term that the founders considered for the impeachment clause, “maladministration,” before rejecting it as too loose and vague.

    Impeachment would be a symbolic mark against Trump, but at what cost? Impeachment won’t magnify the president’s alleged offenses, but make them smaller, as the argument devolves into a microscopic examination of his words and actions (and non-actions).

    It would be the most forlorn impeachment ever. Andrew Johnson came close to getting removed. Richard Nixon quit before he got removed. Even with Bill Clinton, there was a moment when it seemed possible some Senate Democrats might flip against him.

    With Trump, there is no chance of being removed by the Republican-held Senate, which would probably hold a perfunctory, minimal trial, underlining the absurdity of the effort. Trump’s approval ratings wouldn’t rocket skyward like Bill Clinton’s. But Democrats would suffer the opportunity cost of distracting attention from substantive issues people actually care about, and put their relatively moderate members in an awkward spot.

    Then, there’s timing. We’re about 18 months before an election where voters can pronounce on Trump’s presidency directly, without assistance from House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler.

    In the end, there’s only one way to take back what Democrats believe was stolen from them in 2016. That’s to win the 2020 election, which will require some deftness, not perpetual grievance and enraged wishfulness.

    We are coming off of a cool weekend. It was nice at times, but there were also some scattered showers at times. Many folks enjoyed the break from the heat, but now some are hoping for drier weather.

    Believe it or not, there are still some viewers that have missed the recent showers and need rain.

    We will still be cool today, but there will be some scattered rain showers at times. High pressure is to our north, but we have lots of moisture coming in off of the ocean.

    Regional Weather Map

    So this morning we already had areas of drizzle and light showers pushing in from the ocean. This will be the case today. Scattered light showers and drizzle will fall on-and-off through the afternoon and evening. The rain won’t add up to much. Maybe a tenth of an inch or two. As mentioned, today will be cool again. High temps will be in the upper 70s. There will be some 80s inland/south. The breeze will be stronger than it’s been in weeks.

    It will run out of the northeast at 10 mph to 15mph with gusts up to 20 mph near the shore. Between this wind and some tropical activity (more on that in a moment), we have higher waves near the shore. They are up to about 3-4ft. Unfortunately, this is creating a high threat for rip currents.

    We also have small craft advisories for local boaters.

    Tomorrow we’ll have a similar setup. High pressure will lie to the north. We’ll have an east/northeast breeze. There will be some more scattered showers and drizzle coming in off of the ocean, but tomorrow I think we’ll have a little drier air gradually filtering in. So I’m hoping that the models are right, and we’ll see a little more sunshine and less rain by Tuesday afternoon. High temps will be near 80.

    We’ll have more sunshine and less rain chances Wednesday and Thursday. High temps will be in the mid 80s. Then we’ll be drier Friday and Saturday. High temps will be in the mid-upper 80s.

    There are two features in the tropics. The first one is a tropical disturbance that is meandering near a stationary front well offshore. It is a few hundred miles east of Florida.

    Tropical Satellite

    It has a high chance of formation, but it would likely stay out to sea. All of the models have it doing this. They have it moving northeast in a couple of days.

    Meanwhile Tropical Storm Dorian is moving towards the Lesser Antilles from the central Atlantic. This will move over that region as a strong tropical storm late tonight into early tomorrow. Then the system will move northwest towards western Puerto Rico and/or the eastern Dominican Republic. Dorian could become a hurricane by that time.

    Track Of Dorian

    If it moves over land, then it will weaken. That is the more likely scenario. However, if it stays offshore or near the shore, then it could keep some strength as it moves to the other side of the island. The forecast is then for Dorian to move towards the Bahamas and southeast Florida.

    Track Of Dorian

    It would probably restrengthen to a tropical storm, but that is not a given. This track closely follows the European model. It has it moving into eastern Florida, sitting for a day or two, then pushing back out to sea. Meanwhile the GFS model keeps the system very weak, and it has it going a little more west towards the Gulf Of Mexico. Remember, the GFS model had a major overhaul last year. They did run it privately parallel to the old GFS for a while. We’ll see how it fares for this tropical season.

    The View’s” Joy Behar lost it Wednesday while discussing the infighting between progressive and moderate Democrats in Congress, declaring Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., were going to be the “ruination of the nation” and were “the enemies” of democracy. 

    Behar and her fellow co-hosts blamed Sinema and Manchin for standing in the way of Democrats trying to enact President Joe Biden’s agenda, and claimed they were undermining the work done by Democrats to flip Georgia blue and create “a strong Democratic coalition.”

    Behar appeared increasingly angry as she lamented the policies the Biden administration had been unable to implement, including infrastructure funding and efforts to combat climate change, which she blamed on the inability of Sinema and Manchin to reach agreements with their fellow Democrats.

    “The Democrats have the numbers to make it happen, but Manchin and Sinema are standing in their way. They call themselves Democrats, and they will be the ruination of this nation. Those two,” Behar said. 

    ‘THE VIEW’ ADDRESSES COVID TESTING FIASCO THAT UPENDED KAMALA HARRIS INTERVIEW: ‘MISTAKES WERE MADE’

    She claimed that Manchin would never vote for any policies that would positively impact climate change because of his ties to coal producers, and suggested that Sinema wouldn’t support tax increases on corporations because of her attendance at a fundraiser with “business lobbying groups” that oppose Biden’s proposed $3.5-trillion spending bill.

    “These people are destroying the country in my opinion. We are so in trouble in this country, I don’t know if people understand how dire the situation is,” Behar said. “If Joe Biden loses, if the Democrats lose, the Republicans, who are so corrupt right now and we all know that, they will move in, Trump will run in 2024 – he might win because of all the cheating that’s going on. We cannot let this happen!”

    “Manchin and Sinema must be brought to task! They are the enemies right now of the democracy,” she added. “Yes, we have a great democracy, but it is really on life support right now because of these two people!”

    Co-host Sunny Hostin joined Behar in her criticism, accusing Sinema, without evidence, of not listening to her Arizona constituents and questioning what her “end goal” might be. 

    ‘THE VIEW’ CO-HOSTS CLASH WITH CAITLYN JENNER OVER FORCED VACCINATIONS: ‘’YOUR FREEDOM TO STAY AT HOME EXISTS’

    The first segment ended with each of the co-hosts agreeing it was time to have Sinema and Manchin back on “The View” in order to question them on their opposition to some of the widely Democratic-supported policies.

    After returning from a commercial break, co-host Ana Navarro implored people to use any means of communication necessary, including social media and calls to Manchin and Sinema’s offices, to advocate for the passage of the Democratic supported bills through Congress.

    “Don’t you think it’s so unfortunate that we’ve worked so hard … to flip Georgia blue,” Hostin said. “We’ve got two Democratic senators now, and you have people that are supposed to be a part of a strong Democratic coalition, like Manchin, like Sinema, being so obstreperous that President Biden, who is supposed to be fighting for the soul of this country, can’t get the job done.”

    Tras el falló de suspensión al goleador de selección uruguaya oficializado por FIFA, las agrias reacciones no se hicieron esperar por parte de la prensa y la dirigencia del país suramericano. El ente rector de fútbol mundial sancionó a Luis Suárez por nueve partidos y le impidió tener actividad vinculada al fútbol durante cuatro meses, una decisión que dejó a los charrúas bastante inconformes.


    El presidente de la Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol (AUF), Wilmar Valdéz, afirmó que apelará la decisión y enfatizó en el hecho de juzgar a todos los jugadores con la misma vara. “Es mi opinión personal, para mí es una decisión totalmente exagerada. No había prueba contundente”. Añadió que “Uruguay no se siente perseguido, pero estamos convencidos de que tenemos que luchar” y concluyó invitando a la hinchada uruguaya a acompañar a su equipo.




    El portal Ovación tituló “La peor sanción”. El medio más grande de Uruguay, El País, abre su web con “Nueve partidos sin jugar”, y comenzó su nota hablando del baldado de agua fría que había sido para los uruguayos el comunicado de FIFA.


    El periodista del mismo portal, José Mastandrea expresó sus puntos de vista en Twitter:

    Diego Muñoz, periodista y relator de la Radio 180 no ocultó su desazón y publicó en la red social su preocupación por el futuro del jugador:

    Hay reacciones más fuertes, el periodista de Radio Universal Júlio Cesar Gard añadió:


    Antes del fallo, Ernesto Dehl (integrante la delegación defensora) expresó: “Fue una jugada casual, en la que el jugador pierde el equilibrio y se produce ese choque. Pudo haber sido un golpe en la nunca, en el cuello, en la espalda. Y eso es lo que se ve, un choque, nada más”, según explicó al portal deportivo Ovación


    El técnico uruguayo Óscar Tabárez afirmó por su parte que no vio ningún mordisco y que este era un mundial de fútbol, no de moralidades baratas. “Tendría que revisar la jugada. Y si sucedió, el árbitro tampoco la vio”, expresó.


    Incluso José Mujica, presidente uruguayo, salió en defensa del delantero. “No lo elegimos para filósofo, ni para mecánico, ni para tener buenos modales; es un excelente jugador”, afirmó el mandatario.


    El fallo los dejó fríos a todos por igual, pero aún tienen un partido importante por disputar, y si lo juegan, seguramente, será con rabia en el corazón.
