Family members of Erik and Lyle Menendez have filed court papers alleging that the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office needlessly showed a bloody crime scene photo without any advance notice during a court hearing last week in Van Nuys. In a motion released Tuesday, an attorney representing nearly 20 family members wrote that the “entire District Attorney’s Office, including District Attorney Nathan Hochman and Assistant Head Deputy District Attorney Habib Balian, owe the victims’ family members an apology for their scandalous behavior.” Saying the brothers have not shown they understand the “severity and depravity” of their actions in the…

Nick Nickson’s rhythmic cadence and distinctive timbre have narrated nearly all the momentous occasions in Kings history. The Miracle on Manchester, capped by Daryl Evans’ clutch goal. The arrival of Wayne Gretzky, and, later, the fateful measurement of Marty McSorley’s stick. Jonathan Quick’s brilliance in 2012 en route to the franchise’s first Stanley Cup, and Alec Martinez’s sudden-death goal to secure its second two years later. But after 44 years, that singular voice won’t reverberate across the peaks and valleys of Kings hockey anymore. Nickson – a staple of broadcasts, telecasts and simulcasts over the decades – will be retiring…

By ANNIE MA, MAKIYA SEMINERA and CHRISTOPHER L. KELLER WASHINGTON (AP) — At first, the bar association for immigration attorneys began receiving inquiries from a couple students a day. These were foreigners studying in the U.S., and they’d discovered in early April their legal status had been terminated with little notice. To their knowledge, none of the students had committed a deportable offense. In recent days, the calls have begun flooding in. Hundreds of students have been calling to say they have lost legal status, seeking advice on what to do next. “We thought it was going to be something…

By ALEXA ST. JOHN DETROIT (AP) — President Donald Trump hinted that he might temporarily relieve the auto industry from “permanent” tariffs he previously imposed on the business. The president didn’t specify how long the potential pause would be or what it would entail, but the auto sector is awaiting how rules might change on 25% tariffs based on U.S. parts, if duties remain on assembled vehicles. Experts have said short pauses aren’t likely to give carmakers enough of an opportunity to adjust their vast global supply chains, though parts exemptions would certainly bolster the industry amid Trump’s trade war…

WRENTHAM, Mass. (AP) — Charges have been dropped against two Rhode Island men in connection with the death of a fan following an altercation at a New England Patriots game in 2023. Justin Mitchell and John Vieira had pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of assault and battery and disorderly conduct. They were accused of punching Dale Mooney, 53, of Newmarket, New Hampshire. The charges were dropped Friday “in the interest of justice,” Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said in a court filing. No further explanation was given. Investigators said Mooney was struck during an altercation at the Gillette Stadium…

By COLLIN BINKLEY On one side is Harvard, the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university, with a brand so powerful that its name is synonymous with prestige. On the other side is the Trump administration, determined to go farther than any other White House to reshape American higher education. Both sides are digging in for a clash that could test the limits of the government’s power and the independence that has made U.S. universities a destination for scholars around the world. On Monday, Harvard become the first university to openly defy the Trump administration as it demands sweeping changes to limit…

By JOSH FUNK, Associated Press Business Writer OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Rancher Brett Kenzy hopes President Donald Trump’s tariffs will make imported beef expensive enough that Americans will turn to cattle raised at home for all their hamburgers and steaks. That might raise prices enough to give Kenzy and others the incentive they need to expand their herds for the first time in decades. But doing that would take at least two years, and it’s not clear if Trump’s tariffs on most of the world besides China are high enough to make that worth the investment. “If we can just…
