Relief, defiance, anger: Families and advocates react to Biden's death row commutations
Burt, the huge crocodile that rose to fame with a cameo in the movie “Crocodile Dundee” and continued to impress visitors with his fiery temper and commanding presence, has died. Burt died over the weekend, the Crocosaurus Cove reptile aquarium in Darwin, , said. He was at least 90 years old. “Known for his independent nature, Burt was a confirmed bachelor — an attitude he made clear during his earlier years at a crocodile farm,” Crocosaurus Cove wrote in social media posts. “He wasn’t just a crocodile, he was a force of nature and a reminder of the power and majesty of these incredible creatures. While his personality could be challenging, it was also what made him so memorable and beloved by those who worked with him and the thousands who visited him over the years,” the aquarium wrote. A , Burt was estimated to be more than 5 meters (16 feet) long. He was captured in the 1980s in the Reynolds River and became one of the most well-known crocodiles in the world, according to Crocosaurus Cove. The 1986 movie stars Paul Hogan as the rugged crocodile hunter Mick Dundee. In the movie, American Sue Charlton, played by actress Linda Kozlowski, goes to fill her canteen in a watering hole when she is attacked by a crocodile before being saved by Dundee. Burt is briefly shown lunging out of the water. But the creature shown in more detail as Dundee saves the day is apparently something else. The Internet Movie Database says the movie goofed by depicting an American alligator, which has a blunter snout. The Australian aquarium where Burt had lived since 2008 features a “Cage of Death” which it says is the nation's only crocodile dive. It said it planned to honor Burt's legacy with a commemorative sign “celebrating his extraordinary life and the stories and interactions he shared throughout his time at the park.”
Shocking new scandal rocks family of iconic 'richest little girl in the world' Doris Duke By BETHAN SEXTON FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 21:44 GMT, 23 December 2024 | Updated: 22:01 GMT, 23 December 2024 e-mail 16 View comments From the moment she was born, 'million dollar baby' Doris Duke captured the world's attention. Her father James Buchanan Duke's vast American Tobacco empire meant she was always destined for a life of luxury. Her standing only increased upon his death in 1925, when at age 12 she inherited his $80 million fortune, equivalent to about $1.4billion today. The sum earned Duke the moniker 'the richest little girl in the world' and sparked an enduring fascination her with her life , which turned out to be as outsized as her fortune. From becoming a competitive surfer to a turn as a World War II spy, Duke's colorful antics and statuesque beauty ensured she remained a celebrity until her death in 1993 at the age of 80. Amid the glitz and glamor lie murkier episodes, including a fateful night where she fatally ran over her best friend but mysteriously avoided murder charges. Now her family has been thrust back into the spotlight again, after one of her heirs was ordered to pay his mom's ex-husband $2.2 million over claims he stole from him. Doris Duke was dubbed the 'million dollar baby' when she was born in 1912 owing to her father's vast tobacco empire Walker Patterson Inman III, 26, was accused of stealing a movie manuscript and an unfinished book from his former stepfather, Randy Allen Thompson, 60. Inman and his twin sister, Georgia Inman, are both heirs to Duke's vast Lucky Strike fortune, which remains significant despite dwindling over the decades. Thompson was briefly married to the twins' mom, Daisha Inman, and says he had written the drafts based on the her life story and the twins' chaotic upbringing at the hands of their biological father. The legal battle is just the latest saga in the family's storied history. Duke was born in New York City in 1912 to her parents 'JB' Duke and his wife Nananline Holt Inman, who already had a son from her previous marriage. While JB lavished his 'little duchess' with gifts and attention, his wife was cold and withdrawn - favoring her son Walker Inman in spite of his tearaway tendencies. Duke spent much of her childhood growing up on her father's New Jersey estate, Duke Farms, and became so attached to the property that she sued her mother in 1927 to prevent it from ever being sold. Duke, a New York socialite who died in 1993, was known as the 'richest girl in the world' for the inheritance left to her by her father, who founded American Tobacco She led an exciting life that included signing up to help the US Navy during the World War II Heiress Doris Duke with her first husband, James Cromwell, in Atlantic City. She married twice in her lifetime Upon receipt of her initial chunk of inheritance, Duke began the first of her philanthropic endeavors, which covered everything from horticulture to heritage preservation. In the 1980s, Duke donated $2 million to her namesake university to help with research into the AIDS crisis. She was also a huge benefactor of the arts and enjoyed friendships with the likes of Andy Warhol. In the 1930s she built Shangri La, a Honolulu estate that housed prestigious works of Islamic art she had amassed while on her world-tour honeymoon with first husband James Cromwell. The trip culminated with a stay in Hawaii, where Duke developed a love of surfing, a craft she learned from master surfer Duke Kahanamoku. While the heiress was not the first female surfer, she was among the most prominent and helped pioneer the sport. Her days were spent flitting between her palatial homes across the US, collecting art and plants in a private Boeing jet she had redecorated. But Duke was also committed to a life beyond excess. During the Second World War, she joined up with the United Seamen's Service and was shipped off to Egypt to help run staff canteens working for $1 a year. An aerial view of Duke's home in Hawaii that housed her impressive art collection Upon her death, Duke left nearly all of her $1 billon estate to the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, which remains a major force in the philanthropic world She thrived in her life overseas and relocated to Europe, where she enlisted as a spy. But she became disinterested with the assignments and began writing dispatches for International News Service, and was often seen zipping around Rome on a bicycle. Duke's style and beauty meant that she was beloved on the social scene. But the death of her best friend interior designer Eduardo Tirella threatened to blight her reputation forever. On a fateful night in 1966, Tirella had jumped out of a car to open the wrought-iron gates to Duke's Rhode Island mansion. As he did so, Duke shifted from the passenger seat and the vehicle lurched forward, crushing 42-year-old Tirella to death. The incident was officially ruled an accident just hours later, but many have harbored suspicion over what really happened. Tirella, who had helped curate Duke's homes and art collection, was an up-and-coming set designer who was reportedly growing tired of only working for the wealthy heiress. She was never formally charged and the death continues to inspire speculation. Walker P Inman III, heir to famed tobacco heiress Doris Duke, has been ordered to pay his mom's ex-husband $2.2 million over claims he stole from him. Pictured: Inman on Dr. Phil in 2015 Inman is heir to the fortune along with his twin sister, Georgia Inman, pictured in 2015 Duke married twice during her life, but was known to have many dalliances over the years. Her first marriage to aspiring politician Cromwell produced a daughter, Arden, who was born premature and died a day after her birth. Duke then wed Dominican diplomat and notorious playboy Porfirio Rubirosa in 1947, although they divorced a year later. Duke's other lovers included actor Errol Flynn, jazz pianist Joe Castro and writer Louis Bromfield among others. She died of a stroke in following several surgeries in 1993. She was cremated and her ashes were spread in the Pacific Ocean, per her last request. Upon her death, she left nearly all of her $1 billon estate to the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, which remains a major force in the philanthropic world. Since she had no surviving biological children, part of the Duke fortune went into trust funds for the Inman twins that were not accessible until they turned 21. The trusts were previously the subject of a legal dispute between the bank JP Morgan and the twins' mom, Daisha, who was accused of frittering away the fortune before her children were of age. Duke was a jazz lover and a benefactor of the arts, often hosting concerts at her opulent homes Duke's family home in Rhode Island now serves as a museum open to the public A family tree showing the Inman twins' connection to the American Tobacco fortune The siblings' upbringing was tumultuous , with both reporting immense cruelty and neglect at the hands of their addict father, Walker Inman Jr. It was their mother's plot to liberate them from Inman Jr.'s sprawling Wyoming estate following his death from a methadone overdose in 2010 that inspired their former stepfather to produce his 'stolen' manuscripts. In his lawsuit, Thompson alleges that Walker P. Inman III stole the copies from his art studio in Lincoln City, Oregon in 2020. U.S. Magistrate Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai found that Inman III, who had not responded to the court action, was liable and ordered him to pay $2 million in damages as well as $200,000 for emotional distress. Inman III and his mom told Oregon Live they were never notified of the lawsuit and denied any wrongdoing. 'My son never stole or broke into anywhere,' Daisha told the outlet. The heir added he came into possession of the manuscript via a friend of Thompson's, who told him he found it in a box containing other paperwork related to a custody battle over him and his sister. 'This box - it's my life. It became my property,' Inman III said. However, Judge Kasubhai noted that Thompson had reported a burglary from his studio and that the door had been 'forcibly opened' and a filing cabinet was stolen, with several valuable items left behind. Duke was just 12 when she inherited $80 million, sparking a sustained fascination with her colorful life Duke pictured with Eduardo Tirella before she 'accidentally' mowed him down outside her Rhode Island home Tirella was crushed by Duke's station wagon after he jumped out to open the front gates of her Rhode Island mansion in 1966 'Plaintiff has presented uncontroverted evidence that Defendant was one of only two people Plaintiff was aware of that knew what was in the filing cabinet taken from his art studio,' Judge Kasubhai wrote. He added that Inman III appeared to have posted images of the artifacts on Facebook. As part of his filings, Thompson submitted emails which he claimed showed Inman taunting him about having the manuscripts in his possession. Thompson also submitted a copy of a 2007 contract between him and Daisha handing over the rights to write about her story. Daisha has since said she was 'naive' as to what this really meant. She and Thompson were married for less than a year and a half and broke up after she found out he was a registered sex offender. Thompson was convicted of unlawful sexual contact with two minors in Washington in 1986. However, he has continued to live at a Lincoln City home owned by Daisha. She has since said she plans to try to evict him. Meanwhile, Thompson claims he tried for several years to get the manuscripts back, to no avail. Daisha Inman is the mother of the heirs to Duke's fortune. She was briefly married to Randy Allen Thompson, who is suing her son over the alleged theft of manuscripts The Inman twins were in the care of their drug addict father until his death from a methadone overdose in 2010 It may still prove challenging for Thompson to collect, as he must demonstrate that Inman III has the assets to pay up. The heir and his mom maintain they were not contacted about the lawsuit, despite court records indicating that emails were sent to several attorneys associated with the family. Utah-based attorney Justin D. Heideman, who represents the family, also insisted he did not receive notice and told Oregon Live he plans to file a motion to have the judgement reconsidered. 'Obviously we disagree,' Heideman said. 'We will be moving to set it aside.'

Trump backs ILA on automation concerns
Ottawa councillor's profane outburst with daycare staff 'bullying and intimidation'The Member of Parliament for Atiwa East, Abena Osei Asare has stated that President-elect, John Mahama’s Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL) committee is unlawful and unconstitutional. The MP who doubles as the Minister of State at the Finance Ministry has also questioned the basis for the establishment of the five-member committee chaired by North Tongu Member of Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa. She has asserted that the committee there are already various state agencies that are mandated to supervise corruption-related issues, hence a parallel committee is unnecessary. The MP wonders how the NDC government intends to implement their interest-based committee findings which will have no effect. She said the incoming government should not be in haste in pursuing an agenda that is not legally accepted by the Constitution. The Minister made these remarks during a thank-you tour in her constituency in the Eastern region. She said she has enjoyed goodwill from the constituent although Ghanaians may have been disappointed and voted against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 election. The MP noted that the party accepts the will of the people but expressed confidence they will bounce back. The committee is non-partisan, operating on pro bono, with no associated budget or financial burden, and is designed to ensure accountability and fairness. Despite the opposition particularly from some NPP members, former Obuasi East NPP MP, Edward Ennin has expressed readiness to give evidence of where looted assets are kept while former NPP General Secretary, Nana Obiri Boahen has also commended the initiative.
