Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice sentenced to 30 days in jail over Dallas high-speed crash
The Dallas County District Attorney's Office said Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury.
Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph (191 kph) when he made 'multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic' and struck other vehicles, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that after the crash, Rice failed to check on the welfare of those in the other vehicles and fled on foot.

Roy Black, lawyer who represented William Kennedy Smith and Jeffrey Epstein, dies at 80
Prominent Miami defense lawyer Roy Black, who gained national attention by winning an acquittal in the 1991 William Kennedy Smith rape trial and was involved in scores of other high-profile cases ranging from Justin Bieber to Jeffrey Epstein, has died at age 80, his law partner said. Among Black's other well-known clients were Rush Limbaugh, race car driver Helio Castroneves and Columbian drug lord Fabio Ochoa. 'For more than 30 years, Roy was my teacher, mentor and friend,' said his law partner, Howard Srebnick, in an email. 'The loss(es) I feel personally and professionally are immeasurable.' Smith's 1991 trial became a watershed criminal defense moment when most of it was carried live on national television, famously with a blue dot obscuring the identity of the accuser on the witness stand. Smith is a nephew of former president John F. Kennedy, former Attorney General and U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and former Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who was implicated but never charged in the alleged assault of a woman in Palm Beach during a night of heavy drinking. Kennedy Smith is now a physician involved in an organization dedicated to banning land mines and treating victims of them. In Miami, Black was viewed in legal circles as the GOAT — the greatest of all time, said fellow defense attorney David O. Markus, who compared him to NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. 'He worked harder than any lawyer I know. And he outlawyered every prosecutor who he ever went up against. I will miss him. His impact on criminal defense is beyond measure,' Markus said in an email. The Bieber case involved allegations of driving a Lamborghini under the influence and drag racing, though the pop star eventually pleaded guilty to lesser charges of misdemeanor careless driving and resisting arrest. Indianapolis 500 winner Castroneves was acquitted in a case involving alleged tax evasion. Over the years, Black's clients included Rush Limbaugh; 'Varsity Blues' defendant Amid Khoury, who was found not guilty of rigging college admissions; and Miami police officer William Lozano, who was acquitted in the shooting death of Black motorcyclist Clement Lloyd. The latter acquittal sparked riots in Miami in 1989. Black was part of a group of prominent lawyers who handled Epstein's case, including Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and former Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Star. Epstein sexually abused children hundreds of times over more than a decade, exploiting vulnerable girls as young as 14, authorities say. In 2019, after Epstein died in a New York jail cell following his arrest on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, Black sought to stop Epstein's victims from reopening a non-prosecution agreement that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to lesser state charges a decade earlier. Another of Black's law partners, Jackie Perczek, said she learned from him that it was a lawyer's duty to 'fiercely battle the oppressors and support the underdog.' 'This generation and many to come stand on his shoulders,' she said. Black frequently wrote articles about the law for national publications and was regularly on national television shows. He is survived by his wife, Lea, whom he met when she was a juror in the Kennedy Smith trial and who once starred in TV's 'Real Housewives of Miami.' They have a son, RJ, and his daughter, Nora. Funeral arrangements were not immediately announced.

Grand Prairie residents react strongly to alleged assault video of councilman Mike Del Bosque: "I think it's despicable."
Gand Prairie residents are reacting strongly to watching the video that allegedly shows councilman Mike Del Bosque assaulting a real estate agent in a parking lot. CBS News Texas obtained the exclusive video that recorded Del Bosque allegedly punching the 60-year-old man and breaking his phone during what his accuser calls an unprovoked attack. "I think it's despicable," said Jackie Johnson, a Grand Prairie resident who's lived in the city for 40 years. "If he's in a fight, you know, it's just not right," said Alex Rivery, another Grand Prairie resident. Larry Maifeld, who's lived in Grand Prairie for close to 25 years, said he was disappointed. "Any councilman, you think they'd have more restraint than to do something like," said Maifeld. "It's not right for anybody nationwide to be violent and in a public office," said Rivery. There was a much stronger reaction than from Del Bosque's colleagues at City Hall. CBS News Texas reached out to every member of the council on Thursday, but not one responded to the request for comment. We asked the city if Del Bosque should be reprimanded or kicked off the council, and they sent us the following statement: "The case is still under review by the Dallas County Criminal District Attorney's Office; therefore, the City is not able to comment on the specifics at this time. The City follows its Standards of Conduct for Officers and Employees (Code of Ordinances, Chapter 2, Article IV), which addresses any dishonest or criminal behavior or any behavior that could discredit the City. The City Council may consider a formal reprimand in accordance with these Standards. However, action in relation to criminal behavior is not generally taken until the criminal case has been disposed of through the court under the City's Charter (Article VI Recall and Referendum), only voters, not the City Council, may remove a council member from office through a petition process and recall election, if needed." That would not happen until after criminal court cases have been resolved. That's something residents interviewed agreed with. "You're innocent until you've been found guilty," said Johnson. "I think they need to do a little background and find out what caused the fight to start with," said Maifeld. However, they were skeptical about voting for someone like Del Bosque after seeing the video. "No, I don't vote for him," said Rivery. And they hope for more civility moving forward. "I pray that they do better," said Johnson.

OXFORD GRAY NORTH AMERICA CORP ("OXFORD GRAY") RECENTLY FILED BREACH OF CONTRACT LAWSUIT FOR OVER $9 MILLION AGAINST AUSTIN, TEXAS-BASED COMPANY, FINTIV, ALSO KNOWN AS MOZIDO, OWNED AND LED BY MICHAEL LIBERTY ["Liberty"]
WASHINGTON, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oxford Gray Corporation recently filed a lawsuit in Austin, Texas, for over $9 million for breach of contract against the Austin-based company, Fintiv (also known as 'Mozido'), which Michael Liberty led and controlled. [See HERE. Case D-1-G-N-25-004633, 6/27/2025, Travis County, Texas, 345th Travis Co. Texas] Allegations by Oxford Gray in the Austin case Fintiv, the Austin, Texas-based company, formerly known as 'Mozido,' led and controlled by Michael Liberty, borrowed a total of $5 million under a series of Promissory Notes ('Notes') evidencing loans by plaintiff Oxford Gray Corp. to Fintiv. The notes were subject to payment of principal and interest due as per the repayment schedule set forth in the Notes. Oxford Gray alleges in the recently filed Texas case that Fintiv defaulted on timely payments under the Notes and therefore is in breach of contract and owes more than $9 million in unpaid principal and interest due under the Notes. For Texas case, see HERE. In a separate case filed in October 2024 in Florida, Oxford Gray alleges that Michael Liberty signed a personal guaranty for one of the Promissory Notes at issue in the Austin case and is requiring Liberty to honor his personal guarantee of that Note. See HERE. Icarus Cap. Corp. and Oxford Gray Corp. v. Fintiv and Michael Liberty, individual, 5-21-2025, #223582, Fla. 9th Judicial Cir., Orange Co. Fla, Case No. 2024 CA 009041-O. The complaint filed in Texas begins as follows, to provide context for the case: 'This case stems from Fintiv's failure to repay a series of promissory notes entered into with Oxford Gray…as part of what the U.S. Department of Justice described as a 'scheme to defraud' investors that resulted in a 2019 criminal indictment of Liberty.' Oxford Gray attached a copy of the Liberty criminal indictment as an exhibit to, and relevant to, the Oxford Gray / Austin, Texas case. See February 27, 2019, Maine federal indictment of Michael Liberty HERE. However, Lanny J. Davis, a Washington D.C. attorney and outside legal advisor to the plaintiff in the case, Oxford Gray North America Corp., said it is only fair to point out that Mr. Liberty's 2019 indictment and a 2016 prior guilty plea for violating federal campaign finance laws were both discharged as a result of the February 2021 pardon of Mr. Liberty by President Trump. See President Trump's pardon of Mr. Liberty HERE. Davis also pointed out that the presidential pardon does not interrupt an ongoing 2018 civil enforcement case against Liberty by the US Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') alleging a 'scheme to defraud' -- nor block the continuation of this breach of contract case filed by Oxford Gray in Austin, Texas. See SEC complaint filed against Michael Liberty for scheme to defraud investors and other allegations HERE. Davis added: 'My client Oxford Gray hopes and believes that justice will be done and that Mr. Liberty will be required to comply with his written personal guarantee of loans made to Fintiv.' Attorney Lanny Davis is a legal advisor to the plaintiff Oxford Gray North America Corp. He is a Washington D.C. attorney, founder of the law firm Lanny J. Davis & Associates, has been a practicing attorney for more than 40 years, and also served as a White House Special Counsel to President Bill Clinton and served on a bipartisan privacy and civil liberties panel appointed by President George W. Bush. View original content: SOURCE Oxford Gray North America Corp.
