Anurag Chandra, taking the witness stand in his defense in his triple murder trial on Monday, April 24, testified that he drank 12 beers in three hours before getting into a roadway confrontation with six teenagers and was “extremely, extremely mad” before the cars collided and the teens’ car struck a tree, killing three passengers.But Chandra, 45, also said he didn’t plan to crash into the boys’ 2002 Toyota Prius or harm them after 14-year-old Joshua Ivascu of Riverside had knocked on the door of his Temescal Valley home at 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 19, 2020, rung the doorbell and pulled down his pants in what the teen testified was a “ding dong ditch” prank.Chandra said the late-night knock, which he called a “pounding” but a video played Monday suggested was less forceful, frightened himself, his wife and twin 16-year-old daughters.

Ask Amy: A fender-bender outside a party set off a cascade of resentment

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:14:04 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 67.About six months after diagnosis, we had a graduation picnic for our granddaughter.My husband’s brother came, got drunk, and when he left, he banged our daughter’s car and told no one. (We were not aware that he was so drunk.)My husband called his brother and he admitted that he’d hit her car, but said he was too drunk to return to the party, so he’d deal with it the next day.My daughter called her uncle and lectured him about drinking and driving and was pretty hard on him. I did the same.He texted us and said he didn’t need to be lectured by us and that we wouldn’t see him again. He said he’d send a check for the damage.My husband called him and did not lecture him, but said that we were concerned about his drinking. (We had expressed this in the past.)Over the next two years, he never checked on my declining husband and did not come to his funeral less than three years later.My children and I are bitter.When...

Is NFL hypocritical or hypervigilant in betting punishment?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:14:04 GMT

Sixty years after Paul Hornung and Alex Karras were suspended a full season for wagering on football games, gambling is now as much a part of the NFL spectacle as mock drafts, tailgating and Super Bowl halftime shows.The Raiders now play a dice roll from the Las Vegas Strip, and the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball just announced they’ve signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a ballpark close to Sin City’s famous casinos. Gambling is no longer a pariah but a massive moneymaker for the NFL, which has several lucrative sponsorships with online gambling sites and even a brick-and-mortar sportsbook at one of its stadiums.So, is it two-faced for the league that has so embraced legalized wagering to suspend some of its players for betting on football games and other sporting events from their phones like millions of NFL fans are constantly encouraged to do?“I think it’s hypocritical,” said former Steelers and Bears quarterback Jim Miller. “You can’t li...
