North Carolina man spends 43 years in prison for a crime that should have resulted in a 10-year term. Under current sentencing laws, Bobby Norfleet would have been released from prison decades ago. Instead, he’s spent most of his life behind bars. There are hundreds of people in prison just like him.

Many departments have already grounded their fleets, but they told lawmakers they’ve found the Florida-approved replacements far more expensive, much less capable, and in some cases dangerous. One approved drone lit on fire in a deputy’s patrol vehicle, one law enforcement official testified.

Island-hopping on a superyacht. Private jet rides around the world. The undisclosed gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the Supreme Court. “It’s incomprehensible to me that someone would do this,” says one former judge. These trips appeared nowhere on Thomas’ financial disclosures. His failure to report the flights appears to violate a law passed after Watergate that requires justices, judges, members of Congress and federal officials to disclose most gifts, two ethics law experts said. He also should have disclosed his trips on the yacht, these experts said.

Demonstrators forced their way into the building that houses BlackRock’s office in Paris Thursday, taking their protest against the government’s pension reforms to the world’s biggest money manager. Videos shared on social media showed protesters entering the Centorial office block, located near the Opéra Garnier opera house, holding red flares and firing smoke bombs. About 100 people, including representatives of several labor unions, were on the ground floor of the building for about 10 minutes, chanting anti-reform slogans. BlackRock’s office is located on the third floor. “The meaning of this action is quite simple. We went to the headquarters of BlackRock to tell them: the money of workers, for our pensions, they are taking it,” Jerome Schmitt, spokesman for French union SUD, told CNN affiliate BFM-TV. BlackRock declined to comment.

Republicans love to claim they are the “party of law and order,” and many in the GOP made a big stink when progressives called to defund the police following multiple police shootings of unarmed Black Americans. But some Republicans’ loyalty to cops only lasts until law enforcement does something they don’t like — such as investigating Donald Trump. Then they’re all for defunding the police. Take, for example, Rep. Jim Jordan, who on Sunday endorsed defunding the FBI and Department of Justice.

A children's book illustrator from Alaska known for drawing mother-baby animal pairs like sea otters and wolves was dropped by his publisher this week after authorities allege he posted transphobic notes threatening children.

The text on the notes read: “Feeling Cute Might Shoot Some Children.”

A former San Diego police detective who used his badge and his knowledge to run a string of massage sex parlors in California and Arizona pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges. Peter Griffin and three other defendants entered pleas in San Diego federal court to racketeering-related conspiracy, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and other crimes, the U.S. attorney’s office said in a statement. The wire fraud charge carries a sentence of up to 30 years in prison and a $1-million fine. Prosecutors said that between 2013 and 2022, Griffin and the others owned and operated five massage spas that employed women to perform sexual services that were advertised online.

Humans have been digging holes to dump their trash for thousands of years. While the process became slightly more sophisticated in the 1970s, society hasn’t really transitioned to new ways to deal with trash. Tennessee is now running out of landfills, and communities are confronted with a choice: build more landfills or repurpose their trash.

A federal judge in San Francisco says a former driver for Grubhub was an employee — and not an independent contractor, as the company claimed — because he delivered food to Grubhub’s customers and did not operate his own business. His lawyer says it may be the first such ruling in the nation. Raef Lawson’s “work delivering food was within the usual course of Grubhub’s business of connecting restaurants with diners to facilitate food ordering,” U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley said in her ruling Thursday. She said Lawson “did not run his own business, communicate with customers through independent channels, or advertise in any way.” The ruling entitles Lawson, who worked for Grubhub in Los Angeles for four months in 2015 and 2016, to minimum wages for the hours he drove or was required to be available to pick up customers.

A homeowner in Texas said almost a dozen people keep knocking on his door at all hours of the day and night, claiming he stole their lost items because of what he said is a mistake on the "Find My iPhone" app. Scott Schuster, who has lived in his Richmond home since 2018, said this has been going on every few months over the last few years. He sent our sister station, ABC13, doorbell footage of the incidents. Schuster is not sure why the 'Find My iPhone' app is pinging his address either. He is a software engineer with his own theories, but he has no way of knowing for sure. He is adamant that this is a huge mistake and worries it could turn dangerous. He said he is just upset about the people showing up at his door because he has two young children, 7 and 9 years old, and worries for their safety. "There are plenty of irrational people if they are angry, drunk, had a rough night and lost their phone and thought it was stolen," Schuster said. "That's my biggest concern. Someone coming to the house potentially with a weapon." Schuster shared proof of him reaching out to Apple Support many times, as early as 2022. He called them, messaged them, and filed a formal report which is listed as closed. He said it has never been resolved, and another person came knocking just a few days ago.
