Caitlyn Jenner manslaughter case now in D.A.'s hands

LA  County prosecutors are now determining whether to file charges against Caitlyn Jenner, who was involved in a deadly chain-reaction crash on Pacific Coast Highway in February.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s detectives on Tuesday presented the case to prosecutors that could lead to a misdemeanor manslaughter charge.
Sheriff’s Det. Richard Curry told The Times last week that Jenner was driving at an unsafe speed Feb. 7 when her Cadillac Escalade rear-ended Kim Howe’s Lexus, sending it into oncoming traffic and ultimately leading to the 69-year-old driver’s death.

Jenner was pulling an off-road vehicle on a trailer and had to suddenly slow as vehicles in front stopped. Curry said Jenner was complying with the speed limit but moving too fast for the road conditions that day. Howe died at the scene after Jenner’s SUV hit her car and sent it into the path of a Hummer coming in the opposite direction.

Typically, a single misdemeanor manslaughter charge could carry a sentence of a year in jail, though legal experts say a jail term would be unlikely.

The deadly crash near Corral Canyon Road came before Jenner announced her gender transition. At the time, she was Bruce Jenner, best known as the father figure of the Kardashian family and 1976 Olympic decathlon gold medal winner.
Jenner has called the crash a “devastating tragedy,” saying, “I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them.”

Landlord’s daughter bites off tenant’s ear over N500 PHCN bill...

There was disarray during the weekend at Oba Market Benin after a  23-year-old hair dresser named Miss Faith Idehen, had her left ear bitten off by her Landlord's daughter.

According to a report by Vanguard, trouble started when the landlord's daughter demanded for N1,500, being the monthly payment for electricity bill. The hairdresser pleaded that she did not have up to that amount, but deposited N1,000 with a promise to pay the balance of N500 later in the day. 
She then left the compound and boarded a commercial bus to her place of work at Oba Market.
Unknown to her, the landlord's daughter allegedly trailed, caught up with her at the popular Yanga Fish Market and pounced on her.  

Faith was reported to have fainted as she bled profusely from her left ear before passers-by and onlookers rescued her from the grip of her attacker, who threatened to deal with her entire family as she was rushed to Central Hospital. Over a balance of #500? Na wa.

She was eventually arrested by policemen after a 24-hour siege was laid to her residence & a Police source confirmed to Vanguard that the  suspect would be charged to court for alleged assault and attempted murder.

LIB reader recounts another traffic robbery in Lagos, shares photos

A LIB reader writes in
We were on our way from Magodo around 8pm and met stand still traffic at the middle of the road that leads to Ojota before the total filling station. There were trailers as well on the road. While in the traffic we saw two boys breaking the glass of the car in front of us.
But in few seconds they were beside our car as well and didn't wait for us to wind down before they broke the glass from both sides. It's was really terrifying. They were moving from cars to cars in two two because they were up to eight in number.

'You are beautiful' A pregnant woman's response after being told she looked like "a sausage in casing and "disgusting"

Katie Fehlinger, a CBS weather presenter who is expecting twins took to Facebook on Wednesday, August 19 to address haters and at the same time encourage other pregnant women being shamed because of the changes their bodies are undergoing. A woman said she looked like a 'sausage in casing'. Another told her that “sticking your pregnant abdomen out like that is disgusting”

See the message she shared on her Facebook in response to the hate after the cut...


Hey guys! Once more, I have to get something off my chest. So, the nature of my job makes me an easy target for criticism. I will always understand that, and I will most typically just ignore it. However, after someone blatantly called me a "sausage in casing" and another declared that "sticking your pregnant abdomen out like that is disgusting", I felt a need to draw a line and speak up. 
Everyone's right to their opinion is important, but so are manners. And while rude comments like these will never make me feel the need to change anything about myself, I find a bigger underlying issue here. These particular nasty-grams were directed at a pregnant woman. 
So this little manifesto of sorts is dedicated to every mother out there - other pregnant moms-to-be, moms reading this while their toddlers play on the swing set, moms whose kids have long since gone off to college...You are beautiful. 
Even during the most uncomfortable -and let's face it, less than glamorous -symptoms of pregnancy, what women go through to bring their precious children into the world is, simply put, AMAZING and you should be lauded. Frankly, I don't care how "terrible" or "inappropriate" anyone thinks I look. I will gladly gain 50 pounds & suffer sleepless, uncomfortable nights if it means upping my chances to deliver 2 healthy baby girls. 
Now it's about more than aesthetics. I want these babies to have the best start possible. And that hopefully means my belly that "looks like it's about to explode!" will continue to grow the next few weeks. I say let's raise a Shirley Temple to swollen feet, stretch marks, nausea, all the extra pounds and the dark circles! 
They're badges of motherhood. And for those of you who think that's "disgusting", remember a woman went through the very same thing to bring YOU into the world. In the meantime, let's all remember the lesson Mom taught us - if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

Help in the fight against corruption- Buhari appeals to lawyers

President Buhari yesterday appealed to lawyers in Nigeria to assist in his administrations fight against corruption. President Buhari who made the appeal while speaking at the 55th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, in Abuja, said corruption is the main reason why Nigeria is where it is at the moment.


He stressed that in putting an end to the menace of corruption, Nigeria needs lawyers that will never sacrifice the integrity of the legal system to cover the misdeeds of their clients, no matter how lucrative the brief may be.

"I am convinced that law, lawmakers, lawyers, law courts and the law enforcement agencies all have pivotal responsibilities to discharge, if the change we seek is ever to materialise. 
This administration has taken on the challenge of improving security, fighting corruption and revamping the economy, among many others.

The fight against corruption is a struggle for the restoration of law and order. Corruption and impunity become widespread when disrespect for law is allowed to thrive in society.

Disrespect for law thrives when people get away with all sorts of shady deals and the court is unable to check them. Ability to manipulate and frustrate the legal system is the crowning glory of the corrupt and, as may be expected, this has left many legal practitioners and law courts tainted in an ugly way.

In a gathering such as this, I do not need to elaborate on the way that corruption and impunity have damaged our economy. But I would like to say more on what, I believe, should be your role as legal practitioners, in helping us back to the path of rectitude.

First, we need to make our courts functional and effective again. This means that we must have lawyers who take the ethics of the profession very seriously; lawyers who will not frustrate the course of justice, even though they defend their clients with all legitimate means and resources.

Nigeria needs ethical lawyers who always keep the end of justice in mind and will never sacrifice the integrity of the legal system to cover the misdeeds of their clients, no matter how lucrative the brief may be.”he said

French train gunman dumbfounded by being called a terrorist

The gunman who attacked passengers on a high-speed train in France a couple of days ago is "dumbfounded" at having been taken for an Islamist militant and says he only intended to rob people on board because he was hungry, his lawyer said on Sunday.                                     
As details emerged of the gunman's early adult life in Spain, lawyer Sophie David said her client now in detention near Paris also looked ill and malnourished. 
                             
French and Spanish sources close to the case identified him as a 26-year-old Moroccan named Ayoub el Khazzani who was known to European authorities as a suspected Islamist militant. 

"(I saw) somebody who was very sick, somebody very weakened physically, as if he suffered from malnutrition, very, very thin and very haggard," David said. 

"He is dumbfounded by the terrorist motives attributed to his action," she added. 

David said the man was barefoot and wore only a hospital shirt and boxer shorts for the police interrogation in Arras, northern France, where the train stopped after the incident. 

The Moroccan told David he had found the Kalashnikov he had taken onto the train in a park near the Gare du Midi rail station in Brussels where he was in the habit of sleeping.                              
"A few days later he decided to get on a train that some other homeless people told him would be full of wealthy people traveling from Amsterdam to Paris and he hoped to feed himself by armed robbery," David said.
The lawyer said the Moroccan had untreated wounds on his face when he spoke to her through an interpreter. He also told David he did not think he had fired any shots before his gun jammed. 

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve however, said on Saturday there had been "several shots" before the Moroccan was subdued by the passengers, who included three Americans.

Buhari is still behaving like a military dictator- Afenifere chairman says

The Chairman of Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti says President Buhari is still behaving like a military dictator since assuming office on May 29th. He said this while addressing newsmen in Akure, Ondo state over the weekend.

“President Buhari is running a one-man show. Let him appoint his cabinet and start serious business. I think the President should sit down and have a package. What people are saying is very correct that he is just picking people here and there. He seems not to have settled down to governance yet and  time is flying. Let him constitute the cabinet and start working. As it is now, Buhari is still behaving like a military dictator. Just picking on people, he should sit down to work. He is running a one man show now" he said.
