trial
Los Angeles (United States) (AFP) - A long-awaited showdown will take place this week in a historic Wild West frontier town, with both sides seeking justice for a fatal bullet fired from a six-shooter. But if Alec Baldwin's trial for manslaughter sounds like the plot of a Hollywood movie, the victims, the stakes and the tragic consequences are all too real. In October 2021, on the New Mexico set of his low-budget Western "Rust," a gun pointed by Baldwin discharged a live round, killing the film's cinematographer and wounding its director. Such is Baldwin's A-list fame and the rarity of on-set ...

Kinshasa (AFP) - An American on trial over an alleged coup bid in DR Congo told a court on Friday that he had been forced into participating by his father who led the plot and was later killed. The alleged coup bid struck on May 19 when armed men attacked the home of Economy Minister Vital Kamerhe before raiding the building housing the offices of President Felix Tshisekedi. It was led by Christian Malanga, a Congolese man who was a "naturalised American" and who was killed by security forces, army spokesman General Sylvain Ekenge has said. His son Marcel Malanga, one of three Americans on tr...

Yekaterinburg (Russia) (AFP) - US reporter Evan Gershkovich's closed-door espionage trial in Russia began Wednesday, 15 months after he was arrested on charges that he, his newspaper and the White House reject as false and baseless. Hours after the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reporter was brought into court in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg, Washington said it was doing everything it could to secure his release. A senior Russian diplomat urged the United States to "seriously consider the signals" Moscow had sent its way over a possible swap deal. Gershkovich, 32, became the first Western journ...

By Johannes LEDEL Stockholm (AFP) - Un tribunal de Stockholm a acquitté jeudi un ancien général syrien accusé de crimes de guerre dans son pays en 2012, jugeant insuffisantes les preuves de son implication. Mohammed Hamo, âgé de 65 ans et vivant en Suède, a été jugé au printemps pour "complicité" de crimes de guerre entre janvier et juillet 2012. L'armée syrienne a bien commis des "attaques aveugles, contraires au droit international" dans un quartier de Homs (centre) et dans la ville d'Al Rastan en 2012 mais "aucune preuve" n'a été présentée pour démontrer que la 11e division de l'ancien géné...

Florence (Italy) (AFP) - An Italian court on Wednesday reconvicted Amanda Knox of slander for accusing an innocent man of killing her British roommate in 2007, a murder she herself was jailed for before being acquitted. The American wiped away tears in court in Florence after she was sentenced to three years already served for having accused, during police questioning, a Congolese bar owner of murdering 21-year-old Meredith Kercher. "Amanda is very upset at the outcome of this hearing, she was looking to" draw a line under the saga "after 17 years of judicial procedure," her lawyer Carlo Dall...

Rome (AFP) - Amanda Knox said on Monday she would be back in court in Italy this week for a slander case linked to her conviction and later acquittal for the 2007 murder of her British roommate. Knox, from Seattle, was 20 when she was arrested alongside her Italian then-boyfriend and a Congolese bar owner over the brutal killing of 21-year-old exchange student Meredith Kercher in their shared apartment in Perugia. Knox, now 36, spent four years in an Italian prison for the murder before being freed on appeal, convicted again and then finally exonerated in 2015. In 2011, she was sentenced to th...

"I'm ok with it," Trump said, but added he was "not sure the public would stand for it." "I think it would be tough for the public to tak...
