Erik Menendez Undergoes 2 Surgeries After "Serious" Health Diagnosis
Originally appeared on E! Online Erik Menendez isn't out of the woods yet. His wife Tammi Menendez shared an update on Erik's health after the 54-year-old—who is serving 50 years to life in prison along with brother Lyle Menendez for the 1989 murders of their parents—was diagnosed with what his attorney called a "serious medical condition." Tammi explained that Erik, whose specific diagnosis has not been made public, has undergone his second "successful" surgery to treat his condition. "He will need a 3rd surgery which will hopefully happen soon," she wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on July 23. "Because Erik is in prison there are a lot of complications and delays with surgery." Following his second operation on July 23, she said Erik "remains nauseous and in pain" as he is "recovering from surgery." "We thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers," Tammi continued. "Complications happen in surgery but this is a very stressful time for us. Additionally, we are grateful to the CRT custody and medical staff who did their best during this difficult situation."

Update in bid to jail Taser cop
A policeman who avoided jail after fatally tasering a nursing home resident could be handed a harsher sentence as soon as next week. Senior Constable Kristian White, now 35, was found guilty of manslaughter of 95-year-old Clare Nowland after he was called to Yallambee Lodge nursing home in Cooma in the state's south on May 17, 2023. White was sentenced to a two-year community order and 425 hours of community service, but the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is appealing the sentence. The judgment will be given on July 30. Mrs Nowland was described as being a 'very aggressive' resident who was holding two knives by a nurse, but was holding only one knife and a penlight when White found her sitting in an office after 5am. He repeatedly told her to drop the blade during a confrontation that lasted less than three minutes. When she failed to drop it, White said 'bugger it' before tasering her: Ms Nowland died in hospital days later. White was found guilty of Mrs Nowland's manslaughter in November last year following a NSW Supreme Court trial. White is expected to learn whether prosecutors were successful in their bid to impose a harsher sentence on him, with the matter listed for judgment in the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal (CCA). Cop didn't give Ms Nowland 'any real chance' The DPP's case hinges on four grounds of appeal, including the sentencing judge made several errors by assuming both parties agreed White honestly believed his conduct was necessary, in his assessment of objective seriousness, and in finding that general deterrence had 'little or no role' or only a 'minor' role to play in White's sentence. The sentence is 'manifestly inadequate', the final ground claims. Crown Prosecutor Sally Dowling SC last month argued White did not give Ms Nowland – clearly vulnerable and disoriented – any 'real chance to avoid being tasered'. Footage of the fatal incident made it clear Ms Nowland didn't understand or hear White's instructions, Ms Dowling told a CCA hearing. 'The respondent did not give her any real chance to avoid being tasered,' Ms Dowling said. '(There were) many alternate actions that he could have and should have taken.' Ms Nowland didn't advance towards White at any point, and needed to hold onto her walker with both hands, Ms Dowling said, which all fell under the Crown's appeal of objective seriousness. She told the court it took White less than three minutes after first seeing Mrs Nowland to deploy his taser, which caused her to immediately fall and hit her head. 'She never regained consciousness after that fall, and that injury caused her death seven days later,' Ms Dowling said. White's lawyer, Troy Edwards SC, rejected the Crown's claims that Mrs Nowland posed no threat, arguing it was inconsistent with observations of the sentencing judge and witnesses. He also urged the court not to place emphasis on footage from the incident, but to rely on the accounts of witnesses who he said felt frightened as the incident unfolded.

FBI Drops Criminal Probe Into Kraken Founder Jesse Powell
Federal authorities have dropped a criminal investigation into Jesse Powell, co-founder and former CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. The FBI investigation, which began in 2023, was looking into the non-profit Verge Center for the Arts' allegations that Powell hacked its computer accounts and obstructed access to emails. His home was also searched when the investigation began and computers, laptops and cellphones were seized at the time, the New York Times reported last year. In April this year, federal prosecutors informed Powell's attorney Brandon Fox that the government had concluded its investigation into the Verge allegations and it was not bringing criminal charges against Powell, documents filed to the Superior Court of the State of California on Monday showed. Prosecutors also said at the time they would return the devices they had seized from Powell's home, Fox said. On June 9, his lawyer later received a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California confirming that the federal government had closed this investigation on April 8 this year. Fox initially asked for this letter to be sent to Powell. 'The FBI's raid on my house was devastating both personally and professionally. It is still shocking that the raid was premised on Verge Center for the Art's baseless accusations against me," Powell said in a statement. "I will continue to pursue the appropriate legal remedies against those who created this disaster by making false statements to law enforcement,' he added. The closure of the case comes as Kraken weighs the possibility of an initial public offering by the first quarter of 2026. Powell stepped down as the exchange's CEO in 2023 according to his LinkedIn, but remains on its board of directors. Kraken remains one of the largest U.S.-based crypto exchanges and has been the target of increased regulatory scrutiny in recent years. In 2023, it settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission and shut its U.S. staking services.
