Quick Glance: Court Overturns West Virginia Ban on Transgender in Sports

A federal appeals court has overturned a ban on transgender individuals participating in sports in West Virginia, citing a violation of Title IX.

The court ruled that the law cannot lawfully be applied to a 13-year-old girl who has identified as female since the third grade.

The decision favored the American Civil Liberties Union, its West Virginia chapter, and the LGBTQ advocacy group Lambda Legal, who filed a lawsuit in 2021.

West Virginia is just one of 24 states with legislation preventing transgender women and girls from competing in specific women's or girls' sports events.

Quick Glance: Conviction for Theft and Sale of Biden's Daughter's Diary

A Florida mother was sentenced to a month in prison and three months of home confinement for stealing and selling President Joe Biden’s daughter’s diary to the conservative group Project Veritas four years ago.

Judge Laura Taylor Swain at the Manhattan federal court called the actions of the Palm Beach, Florida woman 'despicable'.

In August 2022, Harris pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge, admitting to receiving $20,000 of the $40,000 paid by Project Veritas for personal items of the president's daughter, Ashley Biden.

Swain noted that Harris and a co-defendant, Robert Kurlander from nearby Jupiter, Florida, had initially tried unsuccessfully to sell Ashley Biden’s belongings to then-President Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign.

Quick Glance: Weisselberg sentenced to 5 months jail in Trump civil fraud case

Retired Trump executive Allen Weisselberg was sentenced to five months in jail for admitting to lying under oath in a civil fraud lawsuit against the former president by New York’s attorney general.

Weisselberg pleaded guilty to perjury related to the valuation of Trump's Manhattan penthouse, despite his deep loyalty to Trump and previous jail time for tax evasion.

Important aspects include Weisselberg's testimonies in unfavorable trials for Trump and his decision not to testify in Trump's upcoming hush money criminal trial.

Weisselberg's willingness to admit wrongdoing, age, and his role in Trump's organization were considered in his sentence, mirroring a previous case where he served a reduced jail term. He is likely to be involved in Trump's hush money trial, even if not as a witness.

Quick Glance: 'Rust' Armorer Sentenced to 18 Months in Fatal Shooting

Former 'Rust' movie armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison by the New Mexico District Court Judge.

The incident that shocked the film industry is believed to mark the first instance in recent history of a member of a film crew or cast being fatally injured by a live round mistakenly loaded into a firearm.

Baldwin's trial is scheduled for July 10 following his indictment for involuntary manslaughter in January.

Initially, Hutchins' death led to a halt in the use of real firearms and blank ammunition by US film and television productions, but many have resumed usage due to the authenticity they provide.
