Opinion: The old orange wicked witch, melting under the pressure, is only getting worse

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:29 GMT

Is it just me or does Donald Trump appear to be melting like the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz? The 77-year-old is looking tired, sweaty, and doused in too much orange spray tan.Ordinarily, I would deem such derision uncouth, but Trump deserves a taste of his own medicine just as he has earned the legal problems he now faces.His weariness is understandable, given that he’s in the crosshairs of Jack Smith, the special counsel with the no-nonsense name.Also on his mind is Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor, and racketeering statute specialist. Those who know her say, “She don’t play.”Their dogged pursuit to reveal the truth about Trump’s desperate attempts to overturn the 2020 election has him good and worried.He lashed out at Smith as a “deranged” Trump-hater, and claimed that Willis is a “young racist” who had an affair with a gang member.You could say that the ex-president is only doing what Republicans do best; engage in personal attacks.Before securing the 2...

Charges reduced for two officers in Elijah McClain case as trial nears

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:29 GMT

Prosecutors last week reduced the criminal charges against two Aurora police officers charged with manslaughter in the death of Elijah McClain.Prosecutors with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser’s office on Thursday dropped the sentence enhancement counts against Aurora police Officer Randy Roedema and former officer Jason Rosenblatt in McClain’s 2019 death, court records show.The pair still face charges of reckless manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and assault in connection with McClain’s killing, but they no longer face crime-of-violence sentence enhancers on top of those charges. The state’s sentence enhancers carry mandatory minimum prison sentences upon conviction and can significantly increase the amount of time a convicted person must spend behind bars.Senior Assistant Attorney General Jason Slothouber wrote in a motion to dismiss that the sentence enhancer charges in this case were redundant and legally unnecessary.“As is often the practi...
