In need of a Hells Angels expert, Santa Clara County’s DA turned to an Antioch cop on leave in racist text case

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:45:22 GMT

Unable to carry his Antioch Police Department-issued badge or gun after being named in a sprawling racist texting scandal, Officer Thomas Lenderman has found another way to put those sidelined policing skills to work.He’s testifying as Santa Clara County prosecutors’ hand-picked gang expert in a case against members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club and the group’s alleged ties to two brutal beatings during a Chris Stapleton concert last year at Mountain View’s Shoreline Amphitheater.All of this, despite Lenderman having spent the past six months on paid administrative leave from his day job in Antioch.His testimony in late October and early November marked a new twist in one of the Bay Area’s largest police scandals in decades. While several other Antioch officers on leave tried desperately in recent months to avoid appearing in court — even going so far as to cite “industrial injuries” for their absences — Lenderman put up no...

Jurors begin deliberating in the trial of the man who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:45:22 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A lawyer for the man who broke into former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home and attacked her husband told a federal jury Wednesday that David DePape was motivated by his political beliefs, not because he wanted to interfere with her official duties as a member of Congress, making the charges against him invalid.David DePape, 43, is charged with attempted kidnapping of a federal official and assault on the immediate family member of a federal official in the Oct. 28, 2022, attack against Paul Pelosi.During her rebuttal, prosecutor Helen Gilbert said the defense had made a false distinction between Nancy Pelosi’s politics and official duties and that DePape didn’t differentiate between the two.DePape pleaded not guilty, but during testimony on Tuesday admitted to bludgeoning Paul Pelosi with a hammer while trying to carry out a plan to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage. David DePape’s ex-wife Gypsy Taub says federal trial is a sham Federal public def...

Meta permitirá anuncios políticos que cuestionen el resultado de las elecciones de EE.UU. de 2020

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:45:22 GMT

(CNN) — Meta permitirá que los anuncios políticos en sus plataformas cuestionen el resultado de las elecciones presidenciales de EE.UU. de 2020, como parte de un retroceso en la moderación de contenido relacionado con las elecciones entre las principales plataformas de redes sociales durante el último año, y antes de la contienda presidencial de EE.UU. de 2024.La política significa que Meta, la empresa matriz de Facebook e Instagram, podrá beneficiarse directamente de anuncios políticos que contengan afirmaciones falsas sobre la legitimidad de las elecciones de 2020. Si bien la compañía permitirá anuncios políticos que afirmen que las elecciones pasadas —incluida la carrera presidencial de 2020— fueron manipuladas, prohibirá aquellos que “cuestionen la legitimidad de una elección próxima o en curso”.El cambio es parte de una actualización de política de hace un año, pero no fue ampliamente informado. The Wall Street Journal informó el miércoles temprano sobre el ca...

Carrasco scores early to give Belgium a 1-0 win over Serbia in friendly match

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:45:22 GMT

BRUSSELS (AP) — Yannick Carrasco scored after just 62 seconds on Wednesday as an experimental Belgium team beat Serbia 1-0 in a friendly game.The match had been switched to the city of Leuven, with no fans allowed, after heavy rain made the field at Brussels’ King Baudouin stadium unplayable.Carrasco captained Belgium in the absence of striker Romelu Lukaku. The midfielder made the most of poor communication between Strahinja Pavlovic and Predrag Rajkovic to score in an empty net after he recovered the ball close to the box.Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco used the match to try out things ahead of next year’s European Championship in Germany. He gave their first starts to Zeno Debast, Ameen Al-Dakhil, Olivier Deman and Arthur Vermeeren.Belgium has already qualified for the tournament. After taking on Serbia, the Red Devils are now set to face Azerbaijan in their final qualifying game on Sunday at King Baudouin stadium. The federation said the location for that Group F matc...

Packers’ Watson believes he still has time to step up his production during frustrating season

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:45:22 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson remains confident he can turn his disappointing season around.After all, he has done it before.“At some point, it’s going to click,” Watson said. “It’s tough mentally just knowing it hasn’t happened yet, but at the end of the day, I can’t control or change anything that’s happened in the past. I’m just focused on this next one.”Watson dealt with injuries and inconsistency as a rookie last year before breaking out in mid-November, when he started a four-game stretch in which he scored eight touchdowns. That raised hopes the 2022 second-round pick from North Dakota State could emerge as a legitimate No. 1 receiver.Although the 24-year-old Watson still has plenty of time to live up to that billing, this season, thus far, has represented a major step backward.After missing Green Bay’s first three games with a hamstring injury, Watson had a 1-yard touchdown catch against Detroit in his first appearance of the season....
