Former sheriff Alex Villanueva registers for 2026 sheriff's race
Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has registered a campaign committee for the November 2026 election to win back his previous post. Villanueva's is the biggest name yet to declare in the race for the position he lost to Sheriff Robert Luna in 2022. Luna has already declared his plans to seek reelection. A filing on the California Secretary of State's website shows that a Villanueva for Sheriff 2026 committee has been registered. It's unclear when the filing was made. In an email to The Times Saturday, Villanueva did not immediately respond to questions seeking confirmation about his intentions but he said "I'll have something available next week." Luna has run the sheriff's department with a relatively calm hand, after Villanueva presided over a period of controversy and lawsuits. But Villanueva has maintained a high profile, using social media and appearances on broadcast platforms to weigh in on a wide range of issues concerning the department and county politics.

Goncalves parents say they wanted Bryan Kohberger to ‘say the victims' names'
The parents of Kaylee Goncalves, one of the four University of Idaho students stabbed to death in a Moscow home, spoke out about their frustrations over the lack of information on how their daughter died and the plea deal offered to Bryan Kohberger, who admitted to four counts of first-degree murder in exchange for no longer facing the possibility of the death penalty at trial. Steve and Kristi Goncalves, who have been vocal about their support for capital punishment for Kohberger, and their attorney appeared on the 'Today' show Friday and said they hoped to see the case go to trial. They had also hoped to get more answers on what happened to their daughter that night, they said. The Goncalves said they have been pressing for more information from the Idaho State Police, Moscow police and FBI about their daughter's murder and her last few moments to write an accurate victims' impact family's attorney, Shannon Gray, told 'Today' he spoke with the prosecuting attorneys to try to get more information from the discovery case as soon as possible. The Goncalveses received limited information from the coroner about how Kaylee died that night — she had several stab wounds, a broken nose, signs of asphyxiation and defense wounds on her arms, Kristi told the 'Today' show. Steve Goncalves said he wants to know more details about that night, such as how many times his daughter was stabbed, and that he wants to find out through the investigators, not from the media or from Kohberger himself. 'I think we're going to find out secrets through his sick twisted mind,' he said. 'He's going to write about it, he's going to have exclusive interviews with his family members. … That's how we are going to hear about it.' Kohberger, 30, was a Washington State University graduate student in Pullman, across the Washington-Idaho state line, at the time of the murders in November 2022. He answered 'yes' to the presiding judge's question on whether he had 'willfully, unlawfully, deliberately with premeditation and with malice aforethought' fatally stabbed to death the U of I students: Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. The Goncalveses were prepared for a monthslong trial for their daughter's murder, and her father said they wanted to see Kohberger face 'accountability of the highest that there is.' Now, Kaylee's father said the family is grappling with the change and trying to move on. When the couple heard Kohberger admit to the killing of their daughter, it was hard to hear, and wished Kohberger would have had to 'say the victims' names,' Kristi Goncalves told the 'Today' show. 'It shows a little bit more accountability and owning up to what he did, to have to say the victims' names, our daughter's name, not just 'yes, yes, yes,'' she said. 'I just feel like that was a really easy way to admit his guilt.' Some families supported the plea deal to avoid a lengthy trial while ensuring punishment for Kohberger. In a statement to the Statesman, the family of Madison Mogen said this it will allow those who knew the four young adults time to grieve 'without the anxiety of the long and gruesome trial' and potential appeals. 'It was very surreal, it was very emotional to hear it,' Kristi Goncalves said, recalling Kohberger's guilty plea. 'Something that, you know, I don't think we were ever really prepared to hear or think that we would hear.' Fourth Judicial District Judge Steven Hippler lifted the gag order that prevented investigators, law enforcement and attorneys from speaking publicly about the case after two dozen media outlets and organizations — including the Idaho Statesman — filed a motion to rescind the order. Kohberger's sentencing is scheduled for July 23. Solve the daily Crossword

Home Secretary says ‘gap in law' on violent attackers will be closed
Police and courts will be given powers to deal with suspects believed to be planning mass killings, according to the Home Secretary. Yvette Cooper said the new tools will enable the criminal justice system to 'close the gap' between terror suspects, who can be jailed for life for planning attacks, and individuals not driven by a particular ideology. Police would be given powers to apprehend them before they carry out attacks. Ms Cooper told BBC Radio 4's State of Terror series: 'There is a gap in the law around the planning of mass attacks that can be just as serious (as terrorism) in their implications for communities, their impact, the devastation that they can cause and the seriousness of the crime. 'We will tighten legislation so that that is taken as seriously as terrorism.' She said legislation would be similar to that which allows police to arrest terror suspects for steps taken to prepare for an attack, such as research, which is not currently available without links to an ideological cause. 'We've seen cases of growing numbers of teenagers potentially radicalising themselves online and seeing all kinds of extremist material online in their bedrooms,' she said. 'We have to make sure that the systems can respond while not taking our eye off the ball of the more long-standing ideological threats.' Southport attacker Axel Rudakubana, who killed three girls at a dance class, is among the individuals who could have been covered by the legislation.
