A suburban Dallas man who evaded arrest for more than 12 years after being accused of fatally shooting his two teenage daughters in 2008 was convicted Tuesday in their killings. Yaser Said, 65, was found guilty of capital murder in the deaths of 18-year-old Amina Said and 17-year-old Sarah Said. Prosecutors did not pursue the death penalty, meaning Yaser Said receives an automatic life sentence. Prosecutor Lauren Black has said Said was "obsessed with possession and control." The sisters were found shot to death in a taxi parked near a hotel in the Dallas suburb of Irving on New Year's Day in 2008. Jurors heard a 911 call Sarah Said made by cellphone, telling the operator that her father had shot her and that she was dying. Sarah Said was shot nine times and Amina Said was shot twice. A week before they were killed, the girls and their mother fled their home in the Dallas suburb of Lewisville and went to Oklahoma to escape Said. The sisters' boyfriends also joined them. … [Read more...] about Father convicted of fatally shooting his 2 teenage daughters in Texas

Mayor Eric Adams (D-NY) is considering getting back at Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) by shipping New Yorkers to Texas in retaliation for the Lone Star State sending busloads of illegal aliens to the Big Apple. The feud between the two men has been brewing for weeks, and on Tuesday, Adams kicked it up a notch by saying “for the good of America,” Abbott must be voted out of office. “I’ve already called all my friends in Texas, and told them how to cast their vote,” Adams said in a response to a reporter who asked if he planned to get involved in the Texas gubernatorial election. “I am deeply contemplating taking a busload of New Yorkers to go to Texas and do some good old-fashioned door-knocking,” he added with a smirk. Eric Adams says he is "deeply contemplating taking a busload of New Yorkers to Texas" to campaign against Greg Abbott in response to him busing 4,000 illegal migrants to his city. pic.twitter.com/0VqmQkREfM — Greg Price (@greg_price11) August 9, 2022 … [Read more...] about Eric Adams Is ‘Deeply Contemplating’ Taking New Yorkers To Texas To Get Back At Greg Abbott | The Daily Wire

A federal appeals court on Monday restored the death sentence of a bank robber convicted of killing his best friend, his friend's fiancée and their three children. In a 32-page opinion, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling that would have freed Ronald Jeffery Prible Jr . if the state did not retry Prible within six months. The panel ruled Prible, 50, failed to raise issues sufficiently compelling to discredit his conviction and sentence. A Harris County jury condemned Prible to death row in 2002 for killing Esteban "Steve″ Herrera; Herrera's fiancée, Nilda Tirado; Tirado's 7-year-old daughter Rachel Elizabeth Cumpian; Herrera's 7-year-old daughter Valerie; and the couple's 22-month-old daughter Jade Herrera in 1999. Testimony from the two-week trial showed Prible shot Herrera, then raped and shot Tirado before setting her body on fire to hide DNA evidence. The children died from smoke inhalation from the resulting fire. … [Read more...] about Death sentence restored for bank robber convicted of killing his best friend, his friend’s fiancée and their 3 children

That Nick Clegg has become the latest Facebook executive to announce he’s fleeing Silicon Valley for Blighty , where he will spend half his time, says a lot about California. Britain is on the brink of a deep and protracted recession, with inflation set to rise to 13 per cent. Formerly thriving people will struggle to feed their families, heat their houses or go anywhere, since the railways are riddled with massive strikes and airports are chaos. We are lazy: even now, there is an acute labour shortage as people prefer not to work. And we are angry: GP surgeries, call centre staff and shopworkers have all reported a surge in abusive behaviour. Even so, basketcase Britain seems to be preferable to California. It’s not just Clegg: Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, owned by Facebook parent group Meta, and the firm’s chief marketing officer Alex Schultz, have also chosen to relocate to Britain. Clegg, who six months ago was promoted to head of global affairs at Meta, in charge of … [Read more...] about California is no Garden of Eden.

A same-sex couple is outraged after their daughter's school said she could no longer attend because of their marriage. Jennifer and Emily Parker officially adopted Jennifer's 5-year-old niece Zoey on August 3. The girl's father died in an industrial accident in 2020, KPLC reported.

Emily Parker shared her outrage in a post on Facebook , writing that school officials called the couple for a meeting "TWO days before school starts to tell us that they can not educate our child due to the fact that we are a married same sex couple. Even though this isn't her first year to attend." During the meeting with the school's principal and pastor, Emily Parker told KPLC, the pastor "started talking about gender identification and that they teach the words of the Lord and marriage was between a man … [Read more...] about School turns away 5-year-old girl who was adopted by same-sex couple

If you've been following Sanaa Lathan on social media over the last few months, then you likely already know that the actor—who typically adorns a crown of long, flowing hair atop her head—suddenly, randomly, completely shaved her head. Well, now the Hollywood darling will give fans some insight on what caused that big chop when her upcoming feature film, Nappily Ever After , premieres on Netflix in September. The movie follows the life of a seemingly perfect working woman who decides to make some drastic changes following a life-altering moment, starting by taking a set of clippers to her luscious, signature locks. A scary feat no doubt, but Lathan's character will find herself on a journey of self-discovery that she's never quite experienced before and will appreciate like none other. Is there ever a better time for inward-looking and self-reflection rather than fall? Certainly not, especially when Netflix is egging viewers on with encouraging movies like Nappily Ever After . … [Read more...] about What’s coming to Netflix in September?

More than 60 Oklahoma lawmakers—many of them Republicans who support the death penalty—are calling for a new evidentiary hearing in the case of Richard Glossip ahead of his upcoming execution. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals set a September 22 execution date for Glossip , 59, after a federal judge rejected a challenge to the state's lethal injection protocol. But a group of 61 Oklahoma legislators—44 Republicans and 17 Democrats—have urged Oklahoma Attorney General John O'Connor to join their request for a new hearing, citing an independent investigation by a Texas law firm that raised concerns about Glossip's guilt and conviction. "The report concluded that no reasonable juror who heard all the evidence would find Mr. Glossip guilty," the legislators wrote in a letter to O'Connor last week. "As elected officials representing the citizens of this great state, we believe it is vitally important to conduct a serious review of this case so that the truth might be … [Read more...] about Pro-death penalty legislators demand hearing on Richard Glossip’s execution

Aircraft pilots' rogue drone sightings took off in 2015, according to a report released Wednesday by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a trend the agency is calling "dangerous and illegal." But some argue the threat is being exaggerated, as the number of bird strikes far outnumber drone sightings. So far in 2015, airplane and helicopter pilots have reported seeing 650 drones, while only 238 were spotted the year prior, the agency's report says. While drones are flying hazards, this kind of threat to planes are nothing new. U.S. airline captain Chris Manno wrote that the drone threat is overblown on his blog JetHead . "[W]hile the new hobbyist drones begin to enjoy an increasing level of retail sales, the bird hazard numbers literally in the millions," he wrote. "By sheer numbers alone, bird conflicts and even bird strikes dwarf the number of drone 'sightings' by airliners, but they're simply no longer news." Each year since 1990, the FAA compiles data on the … [Read more...] about The Greater Threat to Airplanes? Birds, Not Drones
