(CNN) — Jurors are due to begin a fourth day of deliberations Thursday in the trial of the former school resource officer who stayed outside during the 2018 massacre at a Parkland, Florida, high school – a rare trial focused on law enforcement response to a mass shooting.State prosecutors accuse Scot Peterson, 60, of ignoring his training and doing nothing as 17 people, including 14 students, were gunned down at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in what became the deadliest US high school shooting ever. His attorney argued the then-Broward Sheriff’s Office deputy didn’t enter the building under attack because he couldn’t tell where the shots were coming from.Peterson has pleaded not guilty to 11 counts, including seven felony counts of child neglect and three misdemeanor counts of culpable negligence. He also faces a misdemeanor count of perjury for allegedly lying to investigators about the number of gunshots he heard after arriving at the scene and about whether he saw people f...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 22:10:01 GMT

Sergei Surovikin, Russia’s “General Armageddon,” has vanished from public view after the Wagner Group’s aborted weekend mutiny — amid reports he has been detained over a rumored role in the insurrection. Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov was noncommittal Wednesday when asked by reporters about the claims. “There are many different speculations, allegations, and so on about those events,” he said. “I think this is one of such examples.”Surovikin, Russia’s former commander of the war in Ukraine, hasn’t been seen since Saturday, with a Moscow Times story late Tuesday saying he has been arrested after reports circulated that he knew in advance about Yevgeny Prigozhin’s planned insurrection which President Vladimir Putin said brought Russia to the brink of a civil war. The Financial Times has since reported that Surovkin, who commands Russia’s air force, has been detained, citing three people familiar with the ma...

UK’s Rwanda asylum plan unlawful, court rules

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 22:10:01 GMT

LONDON — Rishi Sunak is promising to fight on after a top court dealt a major blow to the British government’s plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda to have their claims processed.The U.K. announced a controversial multimillion-pound deal with Rwanda last year, vowing to deport to the Central African nation people it deems have made “dangerous, unnecessary and illegal journeys” to Britain.The High Court has previously dismissed several bids to halt the government’s plan. But a number of individual asylum seekers and the charity Asylum Aid succeeded Thursday at the Court of Appeal in overturning the finding that Rwanda represents a “safe third country,” throwing the much-vaunted policy into fresh legal chaos.No Rwandan deportation flights have so far gone ahead, despite the policy being unveiled in spring of last year.Sunak made clear Thursday lunchtime that the British government will now seek to challenge the latest decision at the Supreme Court.“The policy of t...
