NEW YORK (AP) — The man accused of fatally shooting the CEO of UnitedHealthcare pleaded not guilty on Monday to state murder and terror charges while his attorney complained that comments coming from New York’s mayor would make it tough to receive a fair trial. Luigi Mangione, 26, was shackled and seated in a Manhattan court when he leaned over to a microphone to enter his plea. The Manhattan district attorney charged him last week with multiple counts of murder, including murder as an act of terrorism . Mangione's initial appearance in New York’s state trial court was preempted by federal prosecutors bringing their own charges over the shooting. The federal charges could carry the possibility of the death penalty, while the maximum sentence for the state charges is life in prison without parole. Prosecutors have said the two cases will proceed on parallel tracks , with the state charges expected to go to trial first. One of Mangione’s attorneys told a judge that the “warring jurisdictions" had turned Mangione into a “human ping-pong ball” and that New York City Mayor Eric Adams and other government officials had made him a political pawn, robbing him of his rights as a defendant and tainting the jury pool. “I am very concerned about my client’s right to a fair trial,” lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo said. Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch stood among a throng of heavily armed officers last Thursday when Mangione was flown to a Manhattan heliport and escorted up a pier after being extradited from Pennsylvania. Friedman Agnifilo said police turned Mangione’s return to New York into a choreographed spectacle. She called out Adams' comment to a local TV station that he wanted to be there to look “him in the eye and say, ‘you carried out this terroristic act in my city.’” “He was on display for everyone to see in the biggest stage perp walk I’ve ever seen in my career. It was absolutely unnecessary,” she said. She also accused federal and state prosecutors of advancing conflicting legal theories, calling their approach confusing and highly unusual. In a statement, Adams spokesperson Kayla Mamelak Altus wrote: “Critics can say all they want, but showing up to support our law enforcement and sending the message to New Yorkers that violence and vitriol have no place in our city is who Mayor Eric Adams is to his core.” “The cold-blooded assassination of Brian Thompson — a father of two — and the terror it infused on the streets of New York City for days has since been sickeningly glorified, shining a spotlight on the darkest corners of the internet,” Mamelak Altus said. State trial court Judge Gregory Carro said he has little control over what happens outside the courtroom, but can guarantee Mangione will receive a fair trial. Authorities say Mangione gunned down Thompson as he was walking to an investor conference in midtown Manhattan on the morning of Dec 4. Mangione was arrested in a Pennsylvania McDonald’s after a five-day search, carrying a gun that matched the one used in the shooting and a fake ID, police said. He also was carrying a notebook expressing hostility toward the health insurance industry and especially wealthy executives, according to federal prosecutors. At a news conference last week, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said the application of the terrorism law reflected the severity of a “frightening, well-planned, targeted murder that was intended to cause shock and attention and intimidation.” “In its most basic terms, this was a killing that was intended to evoke terror,” he added. Mangione is being held in a Brooklyn federal jail alongside several other high-profile defendants, including Sean “Diddy” Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried. During his court appearance Monday, he smiled at times when talking with his attorneys and stretched his right hand after an officer removed his cuffs. Outside the courthouse, a few dozen supporters chanted, “Free Luigi,” over the blare of a trumpet. Natalie Monarrez, a 55-year-old Staten Island resident, said she joined the demonstration because she lost both her mother and her life savings as a result of denied insurance claims. “As extreme as it was, it jolted the conversation that we need to deal with this issue,” she said of the shooting. “Enough is enough, people are fed up.” An Ivy-league graduate from a prominent Maryland family, Mangione appeared to have cut himself off from family and friends in recent months. He posted frequently in online forums about his struggles with back pain. He was never a UnitedHealthcare client , according to the insurer. Thompson, a married father of two high-schoolers, had worked at the giant UnitedHealth Group for 20 years and became CEO of its insurance arm in 2021. The killing has prompted some to voice their resentment at U.S. health insurers, with Mangione serving as a stand-in for frustrations over coverage denials and hefty medical bills. It also has sent shockwaves through the corporate world , rattling executives who say they have received a spike in threats.

New Year is always such a overwhelming time, full of anxieties regarding what's about to come, what's about to change, what's the next thing to happen, however, it is important to hold a neutral position about what's to come, and it would be even better if one finds things to look forward to. Here are the top 10 things you can await with pleasure over the next year. Future of TikTok? Congress has overwhelmingly passed legislation for TikTok to be banned from US app stores by January 19 unless Beijing-based ByteDance sells its stake. However, after they appealed to the Supreme Court on grounds that the ban violates First Amendment rights to free speech, the court will hear the case on January 10th. Yet, with Trump's aligned conservatives in the court and Trump himself batting for the app saying, "We got to keep this sucker around for a little while", it will be interesting to see if both US and ByteDance's concerns could be satisfied.

Photo Credit: @melindafrenchgates on InstagramReport: Chargers expect WR Ladd McConkey, LB Khalil Mack to play vs. RavensA judge on Monday rejected a request to block a San Jose State women’s volleyball team member from playing in a conference tournament on grounds that she is transgender. Monday’s ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews in Denver will allow the player, who has played all season, to continue competing in the Mountain West Conference women’s championship scheduled for later this week in Las Vegas. The ruling comes after a lawsuit was filed by nine current players who are suing the Mountain West Conference to challenge the league’s policies for allowing transgender players to participate. The players argued that letting her compete was a safety risk and unfair. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans women’s volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity. School officials also have declined an interview request with the player. Judge Crews referred to the athlete as an “alleged transgender” player in his ruling and noted that no defendant disputed that San Jose State rosters a transgender woman volleyball player. He said the players who filed the complaint could have sought relief much earlier, noting that the individual universities had acknowledged that not playing their games against San Jose State this season would result in a forfeit in league standings. He also said injunctions are meant to preserve the status quo. The conference policy regarding forfeiting for refusing to play against a team with a transgender player had been in effect since 2022 and the San Jose State player has been on the roster since 2022 – making that the status quo. The player competed at the college level three previous seasons, including two for San Jose State, drawing little attention. This season’s awareness of her identity led to an uproar among some players, pundits, parents and politicians in a political campaign year. The tournament starts Wednesday and continues Friday and Saturday. San Jose State is seeded second. The judge's order maintains the seedings and pairings for the tournament. Several teams refused to play against San Jose State during the season, earning losses in the official standings. Boise State and Wyoming each had two forfeits while Utah State and Nevada both had one. Southern Utah, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, was first to cancel against San Jose State this year. Nevada’s players stated they “refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes,” without providing further details. Crews served as a magistrate judge in Colorado’s U.S. District Court for more than five years before President Joe Biden appointed him to serve as a federal judge in January of this year. ____ Gruver reported from Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Hanson from Helena, Montana.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is checking off another item on her bucket list: Broadway. Jackson will appear in a one-night performance of the musical comedy “& Juliet” on Saturday, according to an Instagram post from the Broadway show. The role is a walk-on, which does not typically include any lines of dialogue. Jackson will also participate in a special “talkback” after the performance, according to the social media post. RELATED STORY | Could Democrats pressure Justice Sotomayor to step down for replacement? In her recently published memoir, "Lovely One," Jackson wrote about her dreams of becoming the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court and appear on a Broadway stage. Now, it seems that her once-teenage dreams will come true. The show begins at 8 p.m. ET on Dec. 14 at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre in New York City.( MENAFN - The Rio Times) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Christians worldwide for their unwavering support as Israel faces challenges on multiple fronts. In a Christmas Eve video message, Netanyahu addressed the Christian community from the Holy Land. He acknowledged their steadfast backing as Israel defends itself against what he termed "barbarism." The Prime Minister's message comes at a time of heightened tension in the region. Israel currently engages in conflicts on seven different fronts. Netanyahu emphasized the unity of the Israeli people in defending their nation against existential threats. He stressed Israel 's commitment to peace with those who seek it. Netanyahu's words highlight the complex relationship between Israel and its Christian supporters. Christians make up a small but significant portion of Israel's population. Recent data shows about 187,900 Christians live in Israel, comprising 1.9% of the total population. This number represents a 1.3% growth from the previous year. The majority of Christians in Israel are Arab Christians. They constitute 75.3% of the Christian population and 6.9% of the total Arab population in Israel. Challenges Faced by Christian Communities These demographics underscore the diverse religious landscape of the country. Christian communities in Israel face unique challenges as minorities within a Jewish-majority state. Christmas celebrations in the Holy Land, particularly in Bethlehem, reflect the ongoing conflicts. Bethlehem, revered as Jesus' birthplace, experiences a somber Christmas for the second consecutive year. The city's economy, heavily reliant on tourism, suffers greatly. Unemployment rates in Bethlehem approach 50%, according to Mayor Anton Salman. The situation extends beyond Bethlehem, affecting Christians across the Middle East. In Syria, Christians face uncertainty under new leadership. Lebanon sees some Christian areas in Beirut decorated despite recent conflicts. Gaza 's small Christian community endures particularly difficult circumstances. Security measures intensify across the region during the holiday season. Palestinian security forces deploy around the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Many churches receive heavy guarding, and community gatherings shrink due to safety concerns. These measures reflect the ongoing tensions and security challenges in the area. The Christian exodus from the region continues due to instability and conflicts. In Bethlehem alone, about 470 Christian families left the greater area in the past year. Many Christians contemplate emigration, citing the unstable political situation and continuous wars as primary reasons. Despite these challenges, some Christians maintain hope for peace. Religious ceremonies and prayers continue, including the midnight mass at the Church of Nativity. The resilience of the Christian community in the face of adversity stands out as a testament to their faith and determination. In addition, Netanyahu's message highlights the complex interplay of religion, politics, and security in this historically significant region. The current situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories further underscores these challenges. As Christmas passes, the challenges faced by Christians in the Holy Land remain at the forefront of international concern.

Colorado adds record insurance coverage for Sanders and Hunter with both playing in Alamo BowlMilitary yet to disclose names of May 9 mastermind, planners ISPR says justice would truly be fully served once mastermind of 9th May tragedy were punished ISLAMABAD: The military authorities have not yet made public the names of the mastermind and planners of May 9 attacks. Announcing 25 convictions of military courts, the ISPR last week said justice would truly be fully served once the mastermind and planners of “9th May tragedy are punished as per the Constitution and laws of the land”. Since the May 9 attacks, the issue has been discussed at different military forums but in the ISPR press releases or press conferences, the names of the mastermind and planners were never announced. However, different federal ministers and political leaders have been accusing Imran Khan of being the mastermind. The caretaker government had for Amed a five-member committee tasked with identifying the “role of mastermind, planners, facilitators and executors” of May 9, 2023 incidents that saw countrywide violence following the arrest of former premier Imran Khan. The caretaker government’s report on May 9, which was presented before the Shehbaz Sharif cabinet, had accused that Imran Khan had “actively contributed” to the planning of these violent attacks on the military installations. The report claimed, “Evidence shown to the Committee suggests several party leaders were involved in this planning. It further suggests that Mr Khan actively contributed to it.” The same report talked about 34 individuals, who had masterminded the strategy of violent street power. It accused 52 individuals as planners and 185 persons as executors of the plan. Although the report had identified dozens of PTI leaders for their alleged role in May 9 attacks, it was not specifically mentioned who were the alleged masterminds, who were the planners and who were executors of the plan. However, in the case of Imran Khan, it was said that he had “actively contributed” to the planning. The report had said, “Investigations conducted so far suggest that there were 34 individuals who masterminded the strategy of violent street power, actively contributed to planning the violence and mayhem. Additionally, 52 individuals contributed to detailed planning and 185 individuals executed this plan.” The report added, “The pattern of violence on May 9, 2023 suggests that these people were following a carefully crafted strategy in attacking specific targets, including military installations. An examination of call logs shows that these calls were made by certain PTI leaders to the rioters attacking the Jinnah House. A day earlier, the same PTI leaders made multiple calls to the same rioters on May 8, 2023, establishing very close coordination between the PTI leaders and rioters. Many of the culprits who were subsequently arrested, confessed during interrogation to have received instructions from the party leaders to cause violence and mayhem and attack specific targets such as the residence of Corps Commander, Lahore.” Imran Khan, however, termed May 9 a false flag operation. He also demanded the setting up of a judicial commission to probe the May 9 attacks.None
