  • President Donald Trump Must Face Defamation Lawsuit from Exonerated Five, Judge Rules

    President Donald Trump Must Face Defamation Lawsuit from Exonerated Five, Judge Rules

    President Donald Trump is currently facing a defamation lawsuit from the men known as the “Central Park Five,” according to Huff Post. The five men—Yusef Salaam, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, and Korey Wise—were just teenagers in 1989 when they were wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for the rape and assault of a white woman who was jogging in Central Park, New York City.

    At that time, Trump placed full-page ads in newspapers across New York City advocating for the reinstatement of the death penalty following the arrests of these teens. He is now dealing with the repercussions of his recent remarks in which he continues to deny the wrongful conviction of the five men.

    U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone has ruled that the five innocent Black and Hispanic men can move forward with their legal case against Trump regarding comments he made during the 2024 presidential campaign. On Thursday, Beetlestone chose not to dismiss the lawsuit.

    Initially, all five men pleaded guilty due to pressure from law enforcement, but they later withdrew those pleas. Though they were convicted by a jury, those convictions were overturned in 2002 after DNA evidence linked the crime to another man who confessed. 

    When reporters asked Trump in 2019 if he would apologize to the men for previously calling for their executions, he responded, “They admitted their guilt.” However, it was Trump’s latest remarks in 2024 that prompted the lawsuit. During a presidential debate on September 10 with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump reiterated his belief that pleading guilty under pressure is the same as admitting to a crime. The group is seeking a jury trial to assess unspecified monetary damages.

  • Long Island Teacher Accused of Dropping Textbooks on Special Needs Student’s Head and Locking One in a Closet

    Long Island Teacher Accused of Dropping Textbooks on Special Needs Student’s Head and Locking One in a Closet

    A Long Island school is under fire for reportedly taking no action while a former teacher “tormented” special needs second graders, as reported by the NY Post.  

    Former Cornwall School teacher, John O’Dwyer, is accused of various forms of abuse. These include dropping textbooks on kid’s heads, as detailed in a recent legal filing and echoed by upset parents. The filing is seeking $20 million in damages.

    Details of O’Dwyer’s Alleged Abuse

    O’Dwyer is accused of mistreating one frightened boy by dragging him across the classroom and even locking him in a dark closet while he cried out for help.

    The claim, which serves as a precursor to a civil lawsuit against a municipal agency, asserts that the school not only “failed to prevent” O’Dwyer’s misconduct but was also made aware of the abuse and “did nothing about it.” In the first of several claims being filed against the West Hempstead Union Free School District and Cornwall School, one family alleges that O’Dwyer specifically targeted their son for “humiliating abuse,” inflicting both physical and mental “torment” that included kicking and punching him. 

    “We will uncover the full truth of what happened — and expose how the West Hempstead Union Free School District allowed this cruelty to continue for so long,” said Nathan Werksman, a partner at Merson Law, PLLC.

    The mother who submitted the notice of claim stated that her son, who has special needs, informed her that the alleged abuse occurred frequently throughout the 2023-2024 school year. An assistant teacher was “present for much of the abuse” and the school “ignored complaints about O’Dwyer’s behavior,” according to the claim.

    According to the father of the victim, several other families are also preparing to take legal action. The father, who requested to remain anonymous, reported that O’Dwyer would take a textbook—”a heavy, old-fashioned textbook”—and throw or drop it onto the students’ heads.

  • Woman Claims Sister-in-Law Had to be Physically Removed from Family Baby Shower After Making the Expecting Mother Cry

    Woman Claims Sister-in-Law Had to be Physically Removed from Family Baby Shower After Making the Expecting Mother Cry

    A mother recalled the moment she had to have her sister-in-law removed from her daughter’s baby shower. The 47-year-old woman detailed the incident in a post on Reddit’s well-known “Am I The A——” forum, explaining that the confrontation occurred during her 25-year-old daughter’s baby shower for her second child, per PEOPLE. 

    How it Started

    “Her first child, Phillip, was stillborn two years ago at 38 weeks,” the woman explained. “When she lost him, she asked us to take apart the nursery before she got home and ‘get rid of’ the baby equipment” because it would make her sad seeing it around the house.

    “We offered to return the baby shower gifts to the givers, most kindly refused and asked us to donate the items… except my husband’s sister, Rachel,” she continued. “She made a HUGE deal out of my daughter being ‘hysterical’ and constantly, loudly talked about how ‘ridiculous’ it was to take apart the nursery.”

    Since that incident, the woman mentioned that she has intentionally restricted her sister-in-law’s interactions with her daughter. The sister-in-law wasn’t allowed to attend family gatherings until she agreed to stop discussing the matter.

    How it Ended

    However, at her daughter’s baby shower, particularly when it came time to open gifts the sister-in-law blurted out, “If you hadn’t torn Phillip’s nursery apart and gotten rid of everything, you wouldn’t be here begging for presents for this baby,’ ” the Redditor recalled.

    She said that her daughter instantly “froze,” and then “tears started running down her face.” This led the woman to tell her sister-in-law to leave, but she refused to. Her husband came into the room and asked “what happened,” she shared. “His mom told him and he physically picked up his sister and put her down outside the door.”

    The rest of the family largely supports her decision, she assured Redditors.

    35-Year-Old Man Allegedly Burns Girlfriend, 64, with Hot Soup for ‘Talking Too Much’

    A 35-year-old man in Texas is in custody after his girlfriend, 67, alleged that he deliberately poured hot soup on her, resulting in third-degree burns, per PEOPLE. 

    Alexander Alton McDavid was taken into custody on multiple charges, including assault causing bodily injury with a prior conviction, injury to an elderly person, continuous violence against family members, resisting arrest, and making terroristic threats against family, as indicated by jail records. According to Law & Crime, he remained in McLennan County Jail on a $130,000 bond as of Monday afternoon.

    An arrest affidavit, reported by KWTX, provides further details regarding the allegations against him. According to the documents, the victim stated that on February 28, while at their shared apartment, McDavid became angry and told her she was talking too much. At that moment, she was taking soup out of the microwave when he allegedly “intentionally” struck her plate, causing the hot liquid to spill onto her shoulder and forearm. 

    The victim reportedly sustained third-degree burns from the incident but did not file a report until a few days later. She claimed that she did not have a car or a cell phone, but went to the police station to report the incident after leaving the home to visit the Social Security Office. 

    The victim informed the police that they had been together for about a year before he started physically abusing her, alleging that he had previously choked her, although she never reported those incidents to authorities. The suspect has a history of arrests, including one from May 2024 that resulted in an assault-family violence charge, which is still pending.

  • Veterinarian Accused of Kicking Horse in Viral Video is Now Reported Missing

    Veterinarian Accused of Kicking Horse in Viral Video is Now Reported Missing

    A veterinarian in Nevada, who was reportedly caught on video kicking a horse in a clip that went viral on social media, is now missing, as per various reports. Authorities have stated that he is currently the focus of a criminal investigation. 

    On April 3, Dr. Shawn Frehner was called to give anesthetic shots to horses at a property in Pahrump, approximately 60 miles west of Las Vegas, according to Shawna Gonzalez, the property’s owner, who spoke to 8 News Now. “I heard [my mother] yell, ‘Oh my God. He just kicked him,’” Gonzalez said, per the outlet. “Oh my God, Mom, he’s choking,” she added. “He wrapped the horse around his neck three times, and he kicked him in the head.”

    Gonzalez stated that the horse received treatment for abrasions on its skull and other injuries, according to the outlet. Following this incident, she has advocated for animal cruelty charges to be filed against Frehner, as reported by 8 News Now. Nye County Sheriff Joe McGill confirmed to the outlet that there is an ongoing criminal investigation into Frehner, but no arrests have been made yet.

    Vet Defends Himself in Viral Video

    Frehner has addressed the allegations in a social media post. “I did not blatantly haul off and kick this horse as it appears in the video. That was not my intention at all,” Frehner said, per 8 News Now. “It was done simply to get the horse in a better position so that he could breathe and get up and move so I could again try to anesthetize.”

    Currently, authorities from various agencies are on the lookout for Frehner, who is believed to have gone missing, according to the Review-Journal and Fox 5 Vegas. “The search for a missing individual at Lake Mead National Recreation Area is ongoing,” the National Park Service said in a statement to PEOPLE on April 8.

  • NYC Woman Who Struck Pro-Life Activist in the Face Says She Was Provoked into Violence

    NYC Woman Who Struck Pro-Life Activist in the Face Says She Was Provoked into Violence

    The woman who punched a pro-life reporter in the face during a recorded interview issued an apology on Saturday. However, she argued that her “antagonistic” target provoked her into the act of violence, per the NY Post.

    Brianna Rivers, from the Bronx, acknowledged that she was in the wrong for hitting Savannah Craven Antao, a reporter for the pro-life organization Live Action.

    “To Savannah, I sincerely apologize but cannot sit around and allow you to continue pushing this one sided narrative. I understand hands being put on someone is never the answer, but throwing rocks and hiding hands is worse,” Rivers wrote in a Facebook post. “She knows the truth and she needs to release the footage in its entirety. Savannah is a professional antagonist not a ‘reporter’ and the truth will be told.”

    Rivers Shares Her Side of the Story

    Rivers posted a message claiming that Craven Antao was deliberately provoking her during their street interview in Harlem. In the video, Craven Antao continually interrupted Rivers while she was speaking. Rivers also alleged that Craven Antao edited the video to omit what she referred to as “relentless antagonization” and the moments that led up to the punch.

    “I will not allow my image to be defamed by this woman’s actions. Anyone who knows me knows how respectful I am, I don’t even litter, there’s no way you believe I’m punching people for disagreeing with my POV,” wrote Rivers. In the video, Antao can be heard accusing Rivers of being “OK with killing babies in foster care and killing children that have been abused.”

    “That’s not the point. What I’m saying is …” Rivers said before throwing a series of punches straight at Craven Antao’s face before walking away. The conservative influencer, known for posting videos that mock and criticize progressive women, ended up with a black eye, two stitches below her eyebrow, considerable pain in her nose, and a significant emotional toll, she told The Post.

  • Judge Orders Government to Bring Back Maryland Man Incorrectly Deported to El Salvador, ‘This Was an Illegal Act’

    Judge Orders Government to Bring Back Maryland Man Incorrectly Deported to El Salvador, ‘This Was an Illegal Act’

    On Friday, a federal judge in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction, ordering the government to ensure the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, by Monday, according to ABC News.

    “I am going to grant the motion for preliminary injunction I’ve reviewed, and I’ll read this word for word, so that there is no dispute that the oral order is the written order,” U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis remarked during Friday’s hearing, referencing the recent court case involving the Alien Enemies Act, where the government did not comply with another judge’s verbal orders.

    “This was an illegal act,” Xinis said of Garcia’s deportation. “The two defendants are hereby ordered to facilitate the return of plaintiff Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the United States by no later than 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 7, 2025.” Despite having protected legal status, Abrego Garcia was sent to the infamous CECOT mega-prison in El Salvador due to what the government described as an “administrative error.”

    While the government has admitted to the mistake, it previously stated in court documents that since Abrego Garcia is no longer in U.S. custody, the court cannot mandate his return to the U.S. or compel El Salvador to send him back. Last month, Abrego Garcia, whose wife is a U.S. citizen and has a 5-year-old child, was approached by ICE officers who informed him that his immigration status had changed, according to his attorneys. 

    He was detained and subsequently moved to a detention center in Texas before being sent to the CECOT prison in El Salvador on March 15, along with over 200 alleged Venezuelan gang members.

    High-Profile Lawyer Joe Tacopina, Who Recently Represented ASAP Rocky, Confirms He Will Be Representing Wendy Williams in Ongoing Guardianship Battle

    Renowned criminal defense lawyer Joe Tacopina has officially confirmed in an exclusive interview with News Nation that he is now representing media personality Wendy Williams in her ongoing guardianship battle.

    NewsNation’s Banfield, hosted by Ashleigh Banfield, Tacopina clarified the rumors regarding his role in Williams’ case, confirming his involvement.

    “I am, yes, I am representing her. I’m a personal attorney right now,” Tacopina stated. “I will be entering the guardianship case one way or another, but it’s a convoluted process. The judge has to approve guardianship attorneys. The last thing they want to do is see my face in that courtroom, so, yes, I will be representing her, I am her lawyer right now.”

    Tacopina is known for representing high-profile clients like Alex Rodriguez, Michael Jackson, President Donald Trump, and most recently ASAP Rocky who was found not guilty in his felony assault trial. This adds both star power and extensive courtroom expertise to Wendy Williams’ team as she seeks to regain control over her personal and financial matters. The former daytime talk show host, who has faced significant health and legal issues in recent years, has been under guardianship since 2022.

    Williams’ team has openly expressed concerns regarding the management of her finances and well-being. Tacopina recognized that entering the guardianship proceedings would be challenging due to judicial oversight and procedural obstacles. However, his involvement could signify a pivotal moment in Williams’ quest to regain her independence after almost three years.
