Coban Porter, brother of Nuggets’ Michael Porter Jr., sentenced to prison in fatal DUI crash

Quick Glance: Coban Porter sentenced to prison after fatal crash

Coban Porter, the brother of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr., was sentenced to six years in prison on Friday for killing a woman in a drunk-driving crash last year.

Porter pleaded guilty in February to vehicular homicide and vehicular assault on the condition of a maximum eight-year sentence.

Porter was driving drunk when he crashed into another vehicle in Denver in January 2023, resulting in the death of Kathy Limon Rothman.

During the emotional hearing, many people described Coban Porter as a man of quality character full of remorse for his actions. Prosecutors asked for the maximum sentence and urged Porter to speak publicly about the dangers of drunk driving.

Quick Glance: Ukraine shoots down Russian strategic bomber, nine killed

Russian officials say the plane crashed over the southern Stavropol region due to a technical malfunction.

Ukraine's air force announced that they shot down a Russian strategic bomber with anti-aircraft missiles for the first time since the war began in 2022.

The bomber was downed in Russian airspace, 300km from Ukraine's border, after participating in a long-range airstrike that resulted in the death of at least nine people in the central region of Dnipropetrovsk.

NATO and the USA are planning to provide additional air defense systems to Ukraine for support.

Opinion | What Sentencing Could Look Like if Trump Is Found Guilty: Jail time is an actual possibility. It’s unlikely, but it is plausible.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.
