HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A Texas inmate scheduled to be executed Thursday evening has insisted he didn't fatally run over his girlfriend in a jealous rage more than 18 years ago. Daniel Acker was condemned for the March 2000 slaying of Marquetta George of Sulphur Springs. Prosecutors said he ran over George with his truck in rural northeast Texas because he believed she had been unfaithful to him. Acker's attorneys have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay his execution, arguing he is innocent of... Читать дальше...

Brandon Belt’s humility is boundless. When the local Baseball Writers’ of America chapter presented Belt with its annual Bill Rigney Good Guy Award on Wednesday, he said, “I should have won this my first year in the league. That’s fine. Seventh year is good.” It’s your eighth year, Brandon, but fear not. Math is not a criterion for the honor. The writers made their presentation just outside the clubhouse, with Belt on crutches, as he arrived for treatment five days after undergoing surgery on his right knee. Читать дальше...

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr expressed remorse Wednesday over the injury Miami defensive end William Hayes suffered while sacking him in the Dolphins’ 28-20 win Sunday. Hayes tore an ACL on the play while, according to Miami head coach Adam Gase, trying to avoid landing on Carr and drawing a roughing-the-passer penalty. Carr said he would have preferred the alternative. “Honestly, I said this to my wife and a couple of teammates the other day, ‘I wish the guy would’ve just landed on me besides tear his ACL,’” Carr said.

In its Season 22 premiere, “South Park” ditched ironic detachment for a bitter look at the depressing regularity of school shootings — and the country’s refusal to do anything about it. And yes, despite the usual constant gags and the b-plot’s Marvel riff (in which Cartman becomes what amounts to a racist Jessica Jones), the episode managed to be a genuinely sober condemnation of the apparent national apathy about public violence.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Anita Hill says her pivotal 1991 Senate testimony about sexual harassment by a Supreme Court nominee sparked a wave of awareness, but lasting change failed because of a lack of clear leadership. On the eve of another hearing where a U.S. Supreme Court nominee is facing allegations of sexual misconduct, she told a packed University of Utah audience at a preplanned lecture that the #MeToo movement has the opportunity to create long-term solutions. However, Hill says, that is going... Читать дальше...
