Los Angeles County Superior Court changes cash bail protocols

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 20:10:53 GMT

The Los Angeles County Superior Court has approved changes to its cash bail protocols, officials announced this week.The new pre-arraignment release protocol, which take effect on Oct. 1, will determine release based on an arrestee’s risk to public or victim safety and their likelihood of returning to court. This will reduce reliance on cash bail as a condition of release for people arrested on suspicion of non-violent, non-serious felonies and misdemeanors, according to Presiding Judge Samantha R. Jessner.“A person’s ability to pay a large sum of money should not be the determining factor in deciding whether that person, who is presumed innocent, stays in jail before trial or is released,” Jessner explained in a news release announcing the changes Tuesday. “A low-risk arrestee should not be held in jail simply because they cannot post the necessary funds to be released pending arraignment.”The new bail schedules will replace uniform ones for felonies and misdemeanors before arraign...

Due to the time difference, the first golfers tee off Wednesday night Pacific time.The first group of Matthew Jordan, Patric Ramsay and Branden Grace will begin at 6:35 a.m. in Hoylake, England, the seaside town near Liverpool that's hosting the tournament.

‘Oppenheimer’ review: A bomb and its fallout hit with maximum impact

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 20:10:53 GMT

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is a kinetic thing of dark, imposing beauty that quakes with the disquieting tremors of a forever rupture in the course of human history.“Oppenheimer,” a feverish three-hour immersion in the life of Manhattan Project mastermind J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), is poised between the shock and aftershock of the terrible revelation, as one character calls it, of a divine power.There are times in Nolan’s latest opus that flames fill the frame and visions of subatomic particles flitter across the screen — montages of Oppenheimer’s own churning visions. But for all the immensity of “Oppenheimer,” this is Nolan’s most human-scaled film — and one of his greatest achievements.It’s told principally in close-ups, which, even in the towering detail of IMAX 70mm, can’t resolve the vast paradoxes of Oppenheimer. He was said to be a magnetic man with piercing blue eyes (Murphy has those...

The jury trial for Carlos Dominguez, the former UC Davis student accused of killing two people and injuring a third in a string of stabbings in Davis earlier this year, is set to begin Monday.Dominguez appeared in Yolo Superior Court briefly on Wednesday for the trial readiness conference alongside court-appointed public defender Dan Hutchinson and prosecuting attorney Matthew De Moura.In May, Dominguez pleaded not guilty to two counts of premeditated murder and one count of attempted murder. Criminal proceedings were paused shortly after when Hutchinson questioned Dominguez’s mental competency and requested the court order a psychiatric assessment.A doctor found Dominguez not competent to stand trial last month. However, De Moura disputed the doctor’s findings and requested a jury trial. At the trial, the burden will fall on the defense to prove the defendant’s mental incompetency. If the jury agrees that he is not competent, Dominguez would undergo hospitalization until his compet...
