Man sentenced to death attacks his own attorney in courtroom

In a dramatic courtroom scene, a 61-year-old man convicted of a heinous murder 33 years ago attacked his own attorney after a judge upheld his death sentence.

Source: Twitter The court, affirming the verdict on Monday, was met with an unexpected display of aggression when Zieler jabbed his attorney, Kevin Shirley, in the face with his elbow. The attack occurred moments after Zieler had requested for the cameras in the room to be taken down, seemingly in an attempt to have a private conversation with his lawyer. However, instead of whispering, Zieler struck Shirley, prompting a swift response from three bailiffs who wrestled him to the ground before escorting him out of the courtroom. Shirley, speaking about the incident, explained, “It seemed like he didn’t want our conversation to be picked up by the microphones. So he waved me down and I bent over, and he struck me.” The attorney sustained the blow but assured the court that he had endured worse in the past, according to Fox 4. Earlier in May, Zieler had received a death sentence from a jury in Lee County, Florida, after being convicted of raping and suffocating his two victims. The arrest in 2016 marked a breakthrough in the cold case, 26 years after the brutal murders took place. Despite his counsel’s appeal for a new trial during Monday’s appearance, the judge dismissed the motion and upheld the conviction, as reported by WPTV. Following the attack, captured in viral footage, Lee Circuit Judge Robert Branning expressed concern for the attorney’s well-being, asking if he was okay. Shirley responded that he had endured more severe blows before, displaying remarkable resilience in the face of the assault.

Man sentenced to 70 years imprisonment for spitting at police officers in the U.S

A man in the U.S. has been sentenced to 70 years in prison for spitting at policemen at Lubbock police officers during an arrest last May.

New York Post reports that the 36-year-old Larry Pearson was picked up by policemen on domestic violence charges after he allegedly hit a woman several times in the face. The report also revealed that Pearson left his victim with “multiple visible injuries.” Larry allegedly got angry when officers didn’t arrest the victim and started kicking the door of the police cruiser. When two cops opened the door to demand he stops, Pearson spat at them and kept doing so even after he got to the Lubbock County Detention Center, the New York Post said. During the trial’s closing arguments, prosecutor Jessica Gorman asked the jury to “send a message” to both the suspect and society with its sentencing. Larry had prior convictions for aggravated robbery and family violence, Gorman said. As a result, he faced a minimum sentence of 25 years. “If you’re going to live the life of crime, you’re going to do that among other criminals (in prison),” Gorman told the court. Jim Shaw, Pearson’s defense attorney, told jurors that the sentencing was for a “simple misdemeanor” that got out of control. “You’re not going to get 70 years for something like this when you’ve never been in trouble before,” Gorman said.

Man sentenced to death for killing his 89-year-old boss 24hrs after gaining employment

A young man identified as Joseph Ogbu has been sentenced to death for killing his 89-year-old boss 24 hours after gaining employment.

The Ikeja High Court sat on the case of the young man and sentenced him to death by hanging after he was found guilty of killing his 89-year-old employer, Ajoke John, and her daughter, Oreoluwa John who was also 38 years. The accused was said to have been the domestic worker for the two employers whom he brutally murdered on the 19th of June, 2019 n their residence in Surulere. Justice Modupe Nicole-Clay found the accused guilty of a three-count charge bordering on armed robbery and murder. “He killed Adejoke by strangling her and Oreoluwa by stabbing her to death. As the defense did not raise an objection to the admissibility of the confessional statement, there is no doubt that the defendant confessed to the crimes. I have considered the evidence of the security guard, an Okada man, one Yahya Ibrahim, the house help, and a police Inspector.” “The defendant could not explain what he was doing with all the stolen items he was found with at about 2:00 a.m. on the date he was arrested.” “The court is satisfied with the total evidence to establish the guilt of the defendant. This court has found Joseph Ogbu guilty of these heinous crimes, and you are hereby sentenced to death by hanging. May God have mercy on your soul,” Justice Modupe Nicole-Clay added.

Nigerian woman extradited to Italy for running prostitution business, sentenced to 13-years in prison

A Nigerian woman described as one of the top hundred most dangerous and wanted fugitives in the world, has been jailed for 13 years.

According to reports, the woman was extradited to Italy to serve her 13-year jail term on grounds of “criminal conspiracy, enslavement, human trafficking and exploitation of prostitution. The woman who has been identified as Jeff Joy was extradited from Abuja to Italy after years of being on an Italian wanted list for a long time. Jeff Joy who is known to be the head of the mafia gang was reportedly the one responsible for receiving potential Nigerian victims upon their arrival in Italy and managing their operations as they settled in the country. The statement issued by the Italian National Police reads; “The investigations by the Ancona policemen date back to 2007 when the woman held an important role in the management of the pro§tit¥tion business between Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain, characterized by violence and thr£ats also against the families of girls in Nigeria. The crim¥nal is one of the few women included in the list of 100 dang£rous fugitives, drawn up by the integrated joint group for the search for fugitives of the Central Directorate of the Criminal Police. Her extradition represents the first provision under the extradition treaty between Italy and Nigeria, signed in 2020, and was possible thanks to the joint work of the Nigerian judiciary, the Italian ambassador in Nigeria, and the Italian Ministry of Justice. “Following an investigation by officials of the International Police Cooperation Service (SCIP) in the African country and the issuance of a red notice in 2010, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigerian intelligence service, managed to track down and arrest the woman on June 4, 2022.”

Ex-VC Elizade University sentenced to prison for $720K fraud

A former Vice Chancellor of Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin, Ondo state, Prof. Adekunle Oloyede, is sentenced to five years in prison by the High Court in Akure, Ondo state, for a $720,000 fraud.

The judge, Justice Aderemi Adegoroye, found the accused guilty of all six counts of false pretences, stealing, and fraud, which were in violation of the state’s anti-graft laws. Oloyede was accused of fraudulently obtaining the sum of $720,000 for the construction of a 500-bed space at the school. He also obtained the sums of $250,000, $150,000, and $620,000 at different times. The money was collected from Mike Ade Investment Limited for Duro Global Property under false pretences of using the amount for the construction of a hostel for the institution. The State Legal Officer, represented by Mr. O.E. Akintan, brought the case against Oloyede for conspiracies to steal and obtain by false pretence, contrary to and punishable under section 516 of the criminal code. Oloyede pleaded not guilty to the six-count charge, arguing that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the allegation against him. However, evidence was presented in court, indicating that several amounts running into millions in foreign currency were paid into an account linked to Oloyede and his associates for the importation of panels for the construction of a hostel for students of the university. Despite the payment for the panels and for the shipment of the materials from Australia to Ilara-Mokin in Ondo State, the former Vice Chancellor failed to execute the projects, leading to his arrest and prosecution for alleged fraud by the state government.

R. Kelly sentenced to 20 years for child sex crimes

Veteran singer, Robert Kelly, better known as R. Kelly has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for child sex crimes by a federal judge.

This comes after a jury found that he had produced three videos of himself sexually abusing his 14-year-old goddaughter. It will be recalled that the singer is already serving 30 years after a jury convicted him of racketeering and sex trafficking charges. During court, U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber ruled that Mr. Kelly would serve nearly all of one sentence simultaneously with a previous 30-year sentence which was imposed last year on racketeering charges from his Brooklyn case.

FILE PHOTO: R. Kelly leaves the Criminal Court Building after pleading not guilty during a hearing on eleven new counts of criminal sexual abuse, in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., June 6, 2019. REUTERS/Daniel Acker/ Leinenweber also ordered that Kelly serve one year in prison following his New York sentence. Federal prosecutors had argued that the 56-year-old deserved 25 years in prison on top of his earlier sentence. The singer’s “lack of remorse” was cited as a reason he would pose a danger to society if released.
