Man in confrontation with WCPO weatherman Steve Raleigh found not guilty of menacing
After a three-day trial, the man who confronted WCPO meteorologist Steve Raleigh after a minor vehicle crash in a restaurant parking lot was found not guilty of menacing but guilty of a lesser disorderly conduct charge and ordered to pay a $50 fine. Troy Morrow − whose 76-year-old mother suffered facial fractures and a concussion after being knocked to the pavement by Raleigh's son during the incident − was visibly relieved after the jury in Hamilton County Municipal Court announced its decision. Walking out of the courtroom with his attorneys from the county public defender's office, Morrow began to cry, apparently with relief. He declined to comment. Raleigh left the courtroom soon after the verdict was announced. The case surrounded the aftermath of a minor vehicle crash that happened June 22, 2024, in the parking lot of the Montgomery Inn Boathouse. Morrow, a Boathouse employee, had asked his parents to pick him up that night, after he severely cut his hand on broken glass. Morrow, who would ride his bicycle from Covington to the Boathouse, believed he needed stitches. Morrow's mother, father and cousin arrived in a Ford F-150 pickup. Soon after, a Cadillac Escalade driven by Raleigh's son, Carter, struck the pickup. That ultimately led to a verbal confrontation between Morrow, 47, and Steve Raleigh. Raleigh testified during the trial that Morrow said, "I'm going to (expletive) you up," before taking off one of the two shirts he was wearing and then aggressively approached him. That testimony was at the heart of the case, which was handled by city prosecutors. Troy Morrow's cousin videorecorded some of the incident on a cellphone but the alleged threat cannot be clearly heard in the video. 'It's not there," one of Morrow's attorneys, Mariah Woeste, said during closing arguments. 'The threat did not happen.' Another of Raleigh's sons, Kyle, ran up, and punched Morrow in the head before pinning him to the pavement. In response, Morrow's father approached Kyle Raleigh from behind, struck him and tried to get him off his son. Morrow's father and mother were both knocked to the ground. Menacing is a low-level misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail. The disorderly conduct charge is an even lower-level misdemeanor.

Who is Ben McLemore? Ex-Trail Blazer found guilty of rape at teammate's party
A Clackamas County jury found ex-Portland Trail Blazers player Ben McLemore, 32, guilty of first-degree rape and sexual abuse on July 3 after 10 hours of deliberation. The charges stemmed from a 2021 party at teammate Robert Covington's Lake Oswego home where McLemore assaulted a heavily intoxicated 21-year-old college student who had passed out on a couch. Though McLemore testified the encounter was consensual, the jury convicted him on three of four counts, rejecting his claim that the woman initiated contact while he slept. The two-week trial featured testimony from both McLemore and his accuser, plus former Blazers players. Survivor's testimony revealed freezing during assault During emotional testimony, the woman described waking up to McLemore assaulting her while she was too drunk to move or speak. "My body felt locked," she told jurors. "I thought if I played dead, it might stop". Photos showed her vomiting and unconscious earlier that night, supporting her account of incapacitation. Prosecutors emphasized she never sued McLemore or sought money, pursuing charges because 'you can't do that to somebody'. Defense lawyer Lisa Maxfield argued the encounter was "two drunk people having sex," claiming Covington saw the woman initiate contact, though Covington never testified Prison time looms as basketball career ends McLemore faces at least 8 years in prison when sentenced later this summer. His NBA career stalled after the Blazers released him in 2022, leading to overseas play in China and Spain until his arrest by U.S. Marshals at Portland Airport. The jury's mixed verdict, convicting on rape and unlawful penetration charges but acquitting on one sexual abuse count, suggests they believed the survivor's account of being unable to consent while intoxicated.

Meet the meteorite hunters chasing space rocks that can fetch US$400 a gram
It only took Ed Albin a few steps on June 29 to spot it as he wandered onto an empty construction site about 45 minutes southeast of Atlanta, in the US state of Georgia. Advertisement 'Oh my God,' he said, crouching down to take a look at his find. 'Oh my God.' Perched on the dirt, like it just fell from the sky, was not just any old rock. It was a chunk of the Georgia fireball that had blazed across the sky on June 26 and disintegrated 43km (27 miles) above West Forest, in Covington, on its way southeast. In a floppy sun hat and pink shirt, Albin tested the meteorite with a rare earth magnet attached to a metal pole. It gave a faint hint of magnetic attraction, its nickel iron flecks pulling it toward the magnet – proof of its descent from outer space. Another hunter, Sonny Clary, ran over to take a look.
