Man accused of shooting Lady Gaga’s dog walker recaptured after mistaken release

Gaga poses on red carpet.

A suspect mistakenly released from a Los Angeles County jail where he was being held on suspicion of shooting Lady Gaga’s dog walker and stealing her French bulldogs has been recaptured.

James Howard Jackson, 19, was arrested nearly five months after being released from jail while awaiting trial “due to a clerical error,” the county Sheriff’s Department says.

Here’s what you need to know about the latest development in the saga.

Wait, what happened?

In February last year, Lady Gaga’s dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was shot by a man who stole two of the singer’s French bulldogs in Hollywood.

Detectives said they did not believe the thieves knew the dogs, Koji and Gustav, were Lady Gaga’s at the time.

It is believed the offender was motivated by the value of French bulldogs, which can be thousands of dollars each.

Is the dog walker OK?

Yes, but he has lost part of a lung as a result of his injuries.

In a social media post following the attack, Mr Fischer thanked Gaga for her support while he was fighting for life in hospital.

“You have shown so much support throughout this whole crisis to both me and my family,” he said.

“I look forward to the future and the moment when I get bombarded with kisses and licks (and maybe even an excitement pee?) from Asia, Koji, and Gustav.”

And the dogs?

They’re also safe and well.

Lady Gaga offered a $US500,000 reward ($643,000) — “no questions asked” — to be reunited with the dogs.

The dogs were returned two days later to an LAPD station by a woman who police initially said appeared to be “uninvolved and unassociated” with the crime.

Who was charged?

A month after the kidnapping, multiple people were charged with attempted murder and robbery in connection with the armed snatching of Lady Gaga’s dogs and the shooting of their walker.

Police arrested James Jackson, 19, Jaylin White, 19, and Lafayette Whaley, 27, in connection with the violence.

Police also arrested 50-year-old Jennifer McBride — the woman who returned Lady Gaga’s dogs who police initially said appeared to be “uninvolved” with the crime.

Ms McBride turned out to be in a relationship with the father of one of the suspects.

So someone was arrested, then mistakenly released, but has now been recaptured?

Yep.

Mr Jackson was mistakenly released from a Los Angeles jail in April this year, where he was being held on a charge of attempted murder.

Last month, US authorities offered a $US5,000 ($7,200) reward in return for information that led to his arrest.

At the time, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said the move aimed “to speed up the legal process” and Mr Jackson was arraigned under a new case number.

“Mr Jackson was subsequently released from custody by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. We are unsure as to why they did so,” the statement from the District Attorney’s Office read.

Australia defeated by Jamaica 57-55 in Commonwealth Games netball boilover

Jamaica's netball team gather in a huddle to celebrate beating Australia.

Australia’s Commonwealth Games netball campaign has been dealt a blow, with the Diamonds falling to Jamaica in a thrilling pool match in Birmingham.

Jamaica trailed by as many as six goals heading into the final quarter, but finished in resounding fashion to overhaul the Diamonds with a 57-55 victory.

It is the first time in Commonwealth Games history that Jamaica has defeated Australia in netball.

The win means unbeaten Jamaica tops Pool A ahead of the Diamonds, who will play either England or New Zealand in the semi-finals.

Jamaica captain Jhaniele Fowler, who plays for West Coast Fever in Super Netball, had a starring role in her team’s win with 47 goals.

Shanice Beckford provided a valuable 10-goal haul.

Gretel Bueta was the Diamonds’ top scorer with 36 goals, while Steph Wood added 19.

Fowler was unstoppable for Jamaica, with no-one in the Diamonds squad able to counter her size and strength.

Jamaica’s game plan was evident from the outset: get the ball to Fowler early and often, and by whatever means necessary.

Aboriginal man found guilty of fishing offenses says he was practicing his culture

an elderly man standing outside court

An Aboriginal man from the New South Wales south coast has been ordered not to fish, dive or possess abalone for the next two years after being found guilty of fisheries offences.

Walbunja man Keith Nye was sentenced to a 26-month intensive corrective order in Liverpool Local Court on Thursday for two offenses of trafficking indictable quantities of abalone.

He was also ordered to pay $4,500 in fines and perform 200 hours of community service, and his vehicle will be seized.

Mr Nye, 65, was arrested in Sydney in January 2017 with 439 abalone in his car. Another 128 were seized elsewhere.

The Fisheries Management Act 1994 defines an indictable quantity of abalone as 50.

In sentencing, Magistrate Adbul Karim acknowledged Mr Nye “had and continues to have a strong cultural connection to fishing for abalone” but noted his conduct was a “substantial breach” of the Act.

Mr Nye was arrested after surveillance by Fisheries officers found he had sold abalone to a restaurant in Sydney on January 20, 2017.

Another 128 abalone were seized from the restaurant’s freezer.

Mr Nye does not hold a commercial fishing license and has been convicted previously for abalone possession.

Outside court, he said the sentencing ends a five-year court battle.

“I have been found guilty of practicing my culture, something I have done my whole life … but thank God the judge, I believe, took our culture on board and recognized who we are – it could have been much worse,” he said.

The offenses carry a maximum of 10 years imprisonment.

Mr Nye said he has a right to cultural fishing, particularly for abalone, something he said he’s done since childhood.

“The government expects me to walk away from that,” he said.

“Culturally, it’s a food source. Our elders love eating them but the rules and regulations upon us do not allow us to feed our elder people.

“How can one black man with a snorkel, pair of glasses and a pair of flippers rape the ocean.”

Cultural fishing is recognized under the Act but doesn’t consider it a defence.

NSW Aboriginal Land Council Chair Danny Chapman said he was concerned about the court’s inability to find native title rights to fish and to survive.

“Our cultural rights have been taken away from us by government action over the years and all we have left is our fishing rights – and we will not take a backwards step on our fishing rights,” he said.

“We have to practice it, we have to teach it and we have to hand it on.”

A spokesperson for NSW Department of Primary Industries said it “recognizes and encourages cultural fishing through increased take and possession limits.”

It said it “supports the rights of Aboriginal cultural fishers and is actively working to support Aboriginal cultural fishing within a sustainable natural resource management framework”.

Last month, a district court judge dismissed an appeal by Walbunja man John Carriage to overturn his conviction on fishing-related offenses.

Mr Carriage was convicted in October last year on six fishing offenses after he was found in possession of abalone at South Durras on the NSW south coast in December 2017.

He was given a 12-month intensive correction order and ordered not to dive for or possess abalone for two years.

He appealed against the decision, which he said prevented him from practicing cultural fishing.

The matter was heard in the Parramatta District Court on June 1, where Judge Mark Buscombe dismissed the appeal.

Lawyers for NSW Fisheries asked Judge Buscombe to award them $25,000 in legal costs against Mr Carriage.

Mr Carriage’s lawyer, John Waters, described the request as a “heavy-handed” approach, and said his client was not in a position to pay.

He said there was an element of Fisheries “hounding” his client and described the cost as “a serious amount for any person facing this court, but all the more so for this defendant.”

Judge Buscombe told the court Fisheries’ decision to ask for Mr Carriage to pay costs “troubled” him.

“This man is a descendant of people who have fished in these waters for a millennia. As an ordinary Australian I find it repugnant, quite frankly,” he said.

Dozens of Aboriginal people were charged last year, according to the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics.

Mr Nye said the fight wasn’t over.

“We’re already lobbying … It’s a good feeling to walk out but really is justice there yet? I don’t think it is. We’re not going away.”

DOJ subpoenas Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone

DOJ subpoenas Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone

Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone has been subpoenaed by the Justice Department in an investigation increasingly involving former President Trump’s closest advisers, according to reports from multiple news outlets.

The subpoena comes as the Justice Department has been bringing other White House officials before a grand jury in its probe into Jan. 6.

Cipollone would be able to offer considerable insight into actions at the White House both leading up to and on Jan. 6. His testimony before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack indicates he had numerous concerns about the former president’s plans for the day and how he responded to the riot.

The Justice Department has already brought two former advisers to then-Vice President Mike Pence before a grand jury.

It has also executed search warrants on Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department assistant attorney general who Trump weighed installing as attorney general so he could forward investigations into the president’s baseless claims of election fraud, along with John Eastman. Eastman, a former law professor, crafted memos for the campaign advising they submit alternate electoral certificates and that Pence buck his ceremonial duty to certify the election results.

According to ABC News, which first reported the subpoena, Cipollone’s attorney is expected to negotiate his appearance, given the former White House counsel’s concerns around executive privilege.

An attorney for Cipollone did not respond to a request for comment and the Justice Department also declined comment.

“This is probably bad for former President Trump. If he goes in front of the grand jury, it shows that this is more than, you know, what did John Eastman do? The attorney that basically came up with that crazy scheme to overturn the election. And it probably has a very deep interest in what the president did,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said in an appearance on CNN’s “New Day” on Wednesday morning.

“The Justice Department knows better what they can, in essence, get around when it comes to saying executive privilege. And so I hope they go at that judiciously. I hope Pat Cipollone actually just tells the truth. I have no doubt that he hasn’t, but there’s no reason to protect particularly criminal behavior or what could potentially be criminal behavior behind executive privilege,” he added.

Jan. 6 committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) told reporters last month that DOJ had asked for transcripts with the panel’s investigators tied to Trump’s plans to transmit fake voter certificates to Congress.

But the interest in Cipollone suggests the probe could be more wide ranging, especially following reporting by The New York Times indicating that federal prosecutors are beginning to more seriously discuss directly investigating Trump’s actions.

Earlier testimony before the House Jan. 6 committee indicated Cipollone pushed back against a plan to issue an executive order allowing the seizing of voting machines.

According to testimony from White House aide Cassidy Hutchison, he also expressed legal concerns about Trump’s plans to march to the Capitol, warning they could be charged with “every crime imaginable.”

And in a portion of his taped deposition played in the committee’s final hearing of the summer, Cipollone was also shown saying he pushed Trump to call off the mob if his supporters stormed the Capitol.

“There needed to be an immediate and forceful … public statement that people need to leave the Capitol now,” Cipollone said.

New report shows widespread sexual harassment

New report shows widespread sexual harassment

The findings come just weeks after the SSO made a triumphant return to the refurbished and acoustically enhanced Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, with its new chief conductor Simone Young at the helm.

MEAA’s chief executive Erin Madeley said the union had been encouraged by the quick response of SSO management and the board in accepting all recommendations of the Broderick investigation.

“It is entirely unacceptable for any worker to be unsafe at work or to be fearful about speaking up about bad behaviour, which is why we welcome the initiative taken by SSO to investigate and report,” she said. “Our members are encouraged by the remedial and constructive steps being taken by SSO management which have been and must continue to be inclusive and in cooperation with our members.”

Former CEO Emma Dunch cited the Broderick review in an unfair dismissal claim she has filed against the SSO and its chair.

She claims to have been terminated in December after she had acted against a musician last year accused of sexual assault, a case now before the courts, and hired Broderick to review the SSO’s culture.

Her unfair dismissal case is up for mediation on August 22. At the time of her sacking, she claimed she had been the victim of a political “hit job”.

loading

It was this parting allegation, rather than the dismissal itself, that the SSO content damaged Dunch’s own professional reputation and career prospects, according to court documents.

In the Broderick report, Wilson and Whitehead noted there was great pride in the role its people played in contributing to the SSO, combined with a great passion for the institution and a desire to be part of its future.

They also acknowledged a strong appetite for cultural change, recognizing that the SSO needs to evolve and modernize its culture. “Our people believe now is an opportunity time for us to review and refocus.”

“For many, the hierarchical nature of our Orchestra, the long average tenure of musicians and the overriding view that the orchestra is more like a family than a workplace, creates an environment that while strong, many don’t see as being bound by workplace policies and legislation, and may not support psychological safety for all,” they said.

“Others perceive a skills gap in leading and managing people in both the administration and the Orchestra. There are skills that can be learned.

“There was evidence of cultural division within the organization between musicians and administrators that created a sense of isolation and a lack of belonging and inclusion. We acknowledge that the survey found unacceptable rates of harmful behavior across the company, not just within any specific cohort.”

the herald understands that none of the harassment allegations cited in the report have been referred to the police for investigation. The review identified issues, not individuals, and there had been no personnel changes. The review’s findings and recommendations have been communicated with all staff, and workshops and training programs have begun.

Crows table bumper offer to Suns forward Izak Rankine

Suns forward Izak Rankine tipped to join Crows

Gold Coast wizard Izak Rankine has had his head turned by a $4 million, five-year offer from Adelaide as the Crows close-in on a trade heist.

Rankine, 22, was moving towards a new long-term deal at the Suns as recently as last month and bought a house on the Gold Coast earlier this year.

The Suns had been confident of keeping the 22-year-old, who has started to blossom in 2022, believing he would follow Ben King, Jack Lukosius and others in re-committing to Stuart Dew’s project.

Lukosius (pick 2), Rankine (pick 3) and King (pick 6) were all taken by Gold Coast at the pointy end of the 2018 draft.

But the Suns’ confidence of keeping Rankine is quickly evaporating given they can’t compete with the financial package presented by the Crows.

Gold Coast’s offer is said to be solid, but they are under salary cap pressure and face delicate dealings with their batch of young guns in the coming years as they look to keep their list together.

Officially, Rankine is undecided on his future, but sources at both clubs believe he is now more likely to return home than stay in Queensland where he has previously been settled.

The only decision Rankine has made is to reject an approach from Essendon, whose offer was believed to be very similar to that put forward by Adelaide.

The Bombers presented Rankine with a package that involved a prominent role in the Dreamtime at the ‘G blockbuster, The Long Walk, and other indigenous aspects of life at the club.

But the Crows offer Rankine with the chance to return home and reunite with family, four years after he was drafted out of West Adelaide.

Rankine is out of contract, but not a free agent, and the Suns would demand Adelaide’s first-round pick be involved in any deal.

The forward is said to want to avoid any scenario whereby the Crows could use the threat of the pre-season draft in any negotiation, which is what Carlton did with Jack Martin in 2019.

Rankine was plagued by hamstring and hip injuries that stopped him from making his debut in his first season at the Suns, but he has shone this year, kicking 27.19 from 16 games.

Univeriity of New Englahd vice chancellor Brigid Heywood wiped saliva on a schoolgirl’s face, family and other sources say

Univeriity of New Englahd vice chancellor Brigid Heywood wiped saliva on a schoolgirl's face, family and other sources say

“As a public official, and given the serious nature of the charge, it is my opinion that the vice chancellor should immediately step aside from her duties until the conclusion of court proceedings,” Mr Marshall said.

The family of the schoolgirl came forward on Thursday, telling an NBN News reporter off camera that the vice chancellor touched the teenager’s face and commented on her skin color.

The Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Armidale, issued a statement on Thursday confirming it was aware that a student had referred a matter to police regarding the “alleged actions of a person at an event … where school students were present”.

“The school was advised of a student’s concern following the event and school staff acted promptly to confirm the student’s wellbeing. No risk to student safety was identified.”

Heywood has been a controversial figure in the university town since she was appointed in 2019, having steered the university through the pandemic and presiding over 200 voluntary redundancies.

Students who were petitioning for a return to face-to-face learning at a Christmas markets in 2020 said the vice chancellor verbally berated them when she learned about their campaign.

Undergraduate student Tamika Kennedy said the vice chancellor had criticized her for not bringing their concerns to her first, although another student had already attempted to do so.

“She said, ‘Do you know who I am? How dare you slander my name on this’,” Kennedy said.

Heywood is due to appear in court on September 26.

Parent of Parkland victim wears father-daughter dance suit on stand

Parent of Parkland victim wears father-daughter dance suit on stand

Wearing the same suit he wore to their last father-daughter dance, the shattered parent of a Parkland school massacre victim said Wednesday that there are times when he finds it difficult to go on.

Testifying at the sentencing trial of killer Nikolas Cruz, Anthony Montalto told jurors that the loss of his daughter, Gina, 14, continues to suffocate him in pain.

“Life without Gina is nearly unbearable,” he said as tearful spectators looked on in the gallery.

The teen was among the 14 students and three staffers gunned down in 2018 by Cruz with an AR-15 rifle at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in one of the worst mass shootings in the nation’s history.

“The pain I feel every day since she was murdered is unimaginable,” Montalto said. “My daughter was always trying to make things better for others.”

The father tearfully described his daughter’s attributes and accomplishments, recalling the heroic time when she saved a toddler from drowning despite only being 10 years old at the time.

Montalto said his daughter noticed a 2-year-old boy struggling to stay afloat in a pool while their family was on a vacation.

Anthony Montalto, the father of Parkland school shooting victim Gina Montalto, had on the suit he wore to a father-daughter dance while testifying at shooter Nikolas Cruz's sentencing trial on August 3, 2022.

She rushed over and hoisted the toddler above the water line as her parents rushed over.

Moved by Montalto’s act, the boy’s thankful mother bought her a small gift as a token of her appreciation.

“Gina proudly displayed her turtle gift in her room to this day,” her father said before choking back tears.

“She was kind, compassionate and caring. those are just a few of the qualities that made her so special,” he said.

The straight-A student’s death has also deeply traumatized her younger brother, Anthony, who struggles to make sense of her absence, according to their father.

“He and Gina were best buddies,” Montalto said, again struggling to speak. “Playing together and filling our house with laughter. Now there is a deadening silence. Broken only by the deep sighs and soft sobbing that accompany what used to be happy memories of our children playing.”

Max Schachter, father of 14-year-old victim Alex Schachter, told the court that the loss of his son — who was killed sitting at his desk at just — has left him in pieces.

Max Schachter, the father of 14-year-old victim Alex Schachter, testified that his family was broken after the shooting.

“Our family is broken,” he said. “There is this constant emptiness. I feel I can’t truly be happy. If I smile, I know that behind that smile there is the sharp realization that I will always be sad and miserable because Alex isn’t here.”

When preparing his eulogy after his death, the father said he went through Alex’s belongings and found a poem he wrote for an English class. I read it for the jury Wednesday.

“It might be hard to breathe at times,” the poem read. “But hold on tight and don’t let go. It might be too much at times, the twists at times, but get back up and eventually it all comes to a stop and you won’t know when or how.”

Jurors will decide if Cruz gets the death penalty or life without parole. On Thursday, the jury is set to walk through the school where the shooting took place, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Phones banned from Chris Rock Australian tour

Phones banned from Chris Rock Australian tour

People planning to attend one of American comedian Chris Rock’s upcoming shows must abide by a strict set of rules or prepare to be “immediately ejected”.

The threat has raised eyebrows online ahead of the beginning of his Australian tour next week, with ticketholders given firm orders surrounding the event’s phone-free policy.

Holders of tickets, which cost between $134.85 and $217.05, have been told “no mobile phones, smart watches, cameras or recording devices will be allowed at the venue”.

Anyone who dares bring their phone into the venue can expect to be swiftly booted, the Ticketek booking site warns.

“Anyone caught with a mobile phone in the venue will be immediately ejected,” the site reads.

All devices will be stripped from audience members when they arrive, and secured in a YONDR pouch that will be unlocked by a special device at the end of the show.

Guests will be required to take their unusable phones to their seats and hold them throughout the show.

Afterwards, they will line up to have the pouch unlocked at an unlocking station before leaving the venue.

Guests will also need to print physical copies of their tickets to gain entry because digital ticketing won’t be available, Ticketek warned.

Someone who purchased tickets for Rock’s show at Sydney’s Aware Super Theater expressed concern over the strict rule in a post to Reddit on Thursday.

“Just got tickets to see Chris Rock, terms on the tickets say all phones and smart watches will be secured and you’ll be ejected if caught using them,” they wrote.

“I’d kind of like to be able to be reached by the person watching the kids, what the f*** is with this?”

The ticketholder’s concern was addressed by another Reddit user, who claimed the same system had been in place for other comedians, musicians and movie premieres.

“I’ve had to do it many times (comedians like Dave Chappelle, musicians like Jack White, film premieres). There’s usually a designated place where you can get your phone unlocked and check it if required,” they wrote.

The Ticketek event page states that guests “may access their phones at designated YONDR unlocking stations in the lobby” during the show if they need to.

“We appreciate your co-operation in creating a phone-free viewing experience,” the page reads.

Rock made global headlines earlier this year after being slapped by Will Smith at the Oscars for making a bald joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia.

The comedian broke his silence last month during a performance alongside Kevin Hart and Dave Chappelle at Madison Square Garden, according to ETOnline.

“Yeah, that sh*t hurt, motherf***er – but I shook that sh*t off and went to work the next day,” he said.

After remaining mostly silent for months, the comedian-actor addressed getting smacked while headlining stand-up shows in New York and New Jersey, the new york post reported.

“Anyone who says ‘words hurt’ has never been punched in the face,” he said.

During the event, Hart brought a live goat onstage and introduced it as “Will Smith”.

Ticketek has been contacted by news.com.au for comment.

Man U coach Erik ten Hag savages ‘unacceptable’ Cristiano Ronaldo early exit from pre-season match, trade rumors

Man U coach Erik ten Hag savages 'unacceptable' Cristiano Ronaldo early exit from pre-season match, trade rumors

Erik ten Hag said it was “unacceptable” for Cristiano Ronaldo and other Manchester United players to leave Old Trafford before the end of Sunday’s friendly against Rayo Vallecano.

After taking a strong team to Oslo to face Atletico Madrid on Saturday, United wrapped up their pre-season preparations against another Spanish side the following day.

United drew 1-1 with Rayo at Old Trafford as star man Ronaldo made his first appearance of pre-season, playing the first 45 minutes.

The 37-year-old missed the pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to a family issue, and the wantaway forward was pictured with Diogo Dalot leaving Sunday’s game before full-time.

Ten Hag did not speak to the media after the match but has now expressed his annoyance to broadcaster Viaplay.

“There were many more (as well as Ronaldo) who went home,” the United boss said. “This is unacceptable for everyone,” he said. “I tell them that it’s unacceptable, that we are a team, a squad and that you should stay until the end.”

Ten Hag will take charge of his first competitive match as United manager on Sunday, when they face Brighton at home in the Premier League.

It comes a week after Ronaldo returned to training for talks with the coach about his future at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo, who missed the club’s pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia for personal reasons, wants to leave the club he rejoined last year.

I have arrived at United’s Carrington training base with his agent Jorge Mendes. Former United manager Alex Ferguson was also seen arriving.

New United manager Ten Hag said earlier this month that Ronaldo was “not for sale”.

“We are planning for Cristiano Ronaldo for the season and that’s it and I’m looking forward to working with him,” he said.

“I have read it, but what I say is Cristiano is not for sale, he is in our plans and we want success together.” The former Real Madrid and Juventus player finished as United’s topscorer last season with 24 goals.

But the campaign was a huge disappointment for the club, who finished sixth in the Premier League, missing out on Champions League qualification.
