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.

Quick Glance: Trevor Bauer accuser charged with felony fraud after false claims

For the first time in a case involving baseball player Trevor Bauer, an accusation has been made against one of his accusers for allegedly defrauding him.

The woman, Darcy Adanna Esemonu, was charged with defrauding Bauer by making false claims about a pregnancy.

A grand jury in Maricopa County, Arizona, filed an indictment against Esemonu in March for felony fraud against Bauer and another man.

Bauer emphasized that the accusations against him were false and that the justice system had affirmed his innocence, leading to charges against one of his accusers.

Vietnamese property tycoon sentenced to death over $12bn fraud: State media says Truong My Lan’s crimes eroded public trust in ruling Communist party

ft.com/content/fcca4a8f-2de2-479f-b242-786f1bd2d512

Quick Glance: Death Sentence for Real Estate Tycoon in Vietnam's Largest Fraud Case

Truong My Lan, a prominent businesswoman and real estate tycoon, was sentenced to death in Vietnam's largest financial fraud case, marking a shocking development in the country's escalating anti-corruption campaign.

Born in 1956, Lan founded the Van Thinh Phat company with her family in 1992, which grew to become one of Vietnam's richest real estate firms linked to some of Ho Chi Minh's most valuable properties.

She was accused of using the bank as her cash cow, illegally controlling it between 2012 and 2022, and using thousands of 'ghost companies' in Vietnam and abroad to give loans to herself and her allies.

Her arrest in October 2022 falls within a period of increased anti-corruption efforts in Vietnam ramping up since 2022, impacting the country's economic outlook and unsettling foreign investors.

Giancarlo Esposito Once Considered Committing Insurance Fraud To Help Support His Family

Quick Glance: Giancarlo Esposito considered orchestrating his murder during financial crisis

Breaking Bad actor Giancarlo Esposito contemplated having himself killed to secure an insurance payout for his family when he was financially struggling.

After facing two bankruptcies and a foreclosure, Esposito landed the iconic role of Gustavo Fring in Breaking Bad.

Despite having worked since the 1980s, it was his role in Breaking Bad that truly brought Esposito into the spotlight.

Esposito is open to the idea of further involvement in the Breaking Bad universe, expressing interest in a prequel series centered around Gus Fring.

The current trajectory of Trump's stock value compared to its initial rise creates a tech-stock bubble phenomenon.

Examining what Truth Social offers without the Trump factor reveals its foundation as a social network built on Mastodon, lacking technical uniqueness.

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond

Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.

Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.

United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.

On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.
