The jury apparently was convinced by testimony from both the defense and the prosecution that Lorena was a classic case of a battered wife. Her years of abuse, the defense argued, triggered an “irresistible impulse” to–literally–dismember her husband in a moment of temporary insanity. For the jury, the decisive moment may have come when Lorena sobbed, “I felt like my vagina was ripping up,” during one of the frequent times she said her husband forced her to have sex–a charge he has repeatedly denied....
According to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office in Volusia County, Florida, the incident occurred on Tuesday when an officer identified as Deputy Zimmerer “conducted a traffic stop Tuesday afternoon on Howland Boulevard after a black Ford F-150 crossed all lanes of traffic on Howland Boulevard and nearly collided with the deputy.” After Deputy Zimmerer pulled the pick-up truck over, a man, identified as 41-year-old Frank Padilla Velez exited the vehicle. In the body camera footage, Padilla can be seen “behaving erratically, jumping out of his truck then lying down in the roadway,” the police said in a press release....
The former Jamaican sprinter, who completed a two-day trial at Borussia Dortmund this week, is a supporter of the Albiceleste and is hoping to see his favourite national team in Russia this year. Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero & Co. have a good chance of recovering from their 2014 final defeat when they take to the big show again this year, the eight-time Olympic gold medallist says, but there are other favourites for the ultimate prize....
The degraded PlayStation was discovered in the mid-afternoon at the airport, and was regarded as a suspicious item by the TSA. The PlayStation was deemed such a threat to safety that the passengers of Terminal A had to be evacuated, and a bomb disposal unit was dispatched to deal with it. According to a statement by Massachusetts State Police spokesperson Dave Procopio, the console’s external features were mostly fine, but in the x-ray its internal issues caused concern....
In this new three-man race, Dole’s media strategy – likely to continue in the weeks ahead – comes down to ads arguing that Buchanan is too right wing (“He’s an extremist”) and Alexander too left wing (“He raised taxes in Tennessee”), leaving GOP voters with no other choice than Dole. New Hampshire Gov. Steve Merrill, who helped hobble Steve Forbes earlier this month by distorting the effect of the flat tax on middle-class voters, delivered the right-left punch with a winning smile that will make him attorney general should Dole somehow go all the way....
A recurring theme of such books is the vilification of England captain Douglas Jardine and his weapon of choice Harold Larwood, the latter aided and abetted by his Nottinghamshire team mate Bill Voce. The two of them became anti-heroes, abused by the supporters at games for their use of intimidatory tactics in order to beat Australia on their own turf. Focal point of the attack was Australian wunderkind Donald Bradman, whose total dominance over England in previous series led to the use of a new style of attack....
Which is a pity because, if done properly, sports books can be incredibly illuminating. MC Mary Kom’s Unbreakable gives a bird’s eye view of life in the North-East, women in boxing and sporting success in India – three relatively unexplored topics. Similarly, Keane: the Autobiography was as intelligent and brutally honest as its subject. But a bad book can permanently corrupt your view of the person: Rafael Nadal’s Rafa: My Story was a disappointment, and Ashley Cole’s My Defence is, to put it mildly, a third-class rag....
MY FIVE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS 1 “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel García Márquez. Everything I want in a novel: socially astute and entertaining. 2 “The Wanderers” by Richard Price. Full of people I saw around me every day, it made me want to become a writer. 3 “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Now more than 80 years old, it’s as close to a perfect book as there is....

While currently no one knows what to expect from Titan, being a Blizzard title, particularly an MMO, expectations will be high once solid details are revealed. Until then though, a new piece of information has been given by an analyst named Arvind Bhatia. Speaking on Activision-Blizzard’s games lineup for 2011, Bhatia took time to discuss the diverse nature of the company’s future. Rather than simply relying on juggernauts like World Of Warcraft and the Call of Duty series, the company instead plans to make use of smaller properties like the upcoming Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure in order to draw in casual gamers on top of the hardcore audience....
It’s a wonder to think that the gaming Goliath that has come to be known as Blizzard was, 20 years ago, just another small company created by two men with a passion for gaming. For their 20th anniversary, Blizzard co-founders Mike Morhaime and Frank Pearce put together a short video to thank the people who helped them get where they are now: The fans. Without their support, Blizzard would have never developed into the universally known name it is now....
The decision to require a constant internet connection to play the game (even in single-player) frustrated many players as the game launched a month ago, leading to Blizzard to issue an apology to said players as servers were continuously down for hours upon hours. And while Diablo 3 became the fastest selling game in PC history, that many users requiring a Battle.net connection was bound to lead to something ill, with reports of numerous player accounts being hacked....
With the annual event right around the corner, it’s obviously time for tons of leaks and rumors to start emerging ahead of the event. Much like E3, Tokyo Game Show, or any major video game news event at this point, it seems very hard for things to stay a secret until the planned announcement. There have been some very interesting Blizzard rumors so far surrounding many of the company’s major franchises, so it seems like a good time to round each of them up and speculate about their likelihood....
Hollywood no longer rules South Korean cinema, which is breaking out all over. Since 1999 Seoul filmmakers have been churning out Asia’s first critically acclaimed blockbusters, and “Silmido” and “Taegukgi”–featuring battle scenes that rival “Saving Private Ryan’s” are the most stunningly good examples to date. Korean leading men like Won Bin of “Taegukgi” and Sol Gyeong-gu of “Silmido” have bright side careers promoting Korean products all over Asia. Korean heartthrob Bae Yong Joon, star of a clever remake of “Dangerous Liaisons” set in 18th-century Korea and called “Untold Scandal,” is mobbed like a rock star all over Asia....
Brian Tribbett, a political blogger and fan hired by the team on June 25 to, as he put it, “promote a proud tradition” in the face of opposition to the name, resigned from the job late Monday night on his Twitter account. Tribbett later told the Washington Post that his decision “was not reflective of me changing my position on this at all. I supported the Redskins before I took this job....
Since it was first used in the United States in 1987, some 24,000 cases have involved DNA evidence. In 30 percent, it has cleared people mistakenly suspected of crimes. It has even freed from prison about a dozen men wrongly convicted of rapes or murders, and helped bring guilty verdicts or pleas in thousands of other cases. In April, Virginia carried out the nation’s first execution of a murderer convicted largely through DNA fingerprints....
