Quick Glance: Nottingham Killer: Report Validates Prosecutors' Decisions
  • The Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) found that prosecutors were correct in accepting Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane's manslaughter pleas due to diminished responsibility, instead of pursuing a murder case.

  • The report recommended that CPS provide written guidance to help police family liaison officers explain legal concepts to bereaved families in the future.

  • The report suggested that the government consider categorizing homicide into three tiers - first-degree murder, second-degree murder in cases of diminished responsibility, and manslaughter.

  • The Attorney General ordered an urgent review of CPS's handling of the case after families of the three victims expressed disappointment that a murder case was not pursued by prosecutors.

Quick Glance: New NFL Kickoff Format to Promote Increased Returns
  • The NFL has approved a change to the kickoff format to encourage more returns. Kickoffs will have a different appearance starting next season as the league's owners have given the green light to the hybrid kickoff model.

  • With the new rule, kickers will continue to kick off from their own 35-yard line, while the other 10 members of the kicking team will be positioned at the opposing team's 40-yard line.

  • The fresh kickoff rule was designed to promote more returns and reduce injuries on kickoffs, taking inspiration from the XFL's kickoff rule.

  • The NFL will implement the new kickoff rule on a one-year basis, with the option to either extend or abolish the rule in 2025, and has also approved other rule changes like moving the trade deadline back by one week to the Tuesday after Week 9.
