I sincerely apologize if you were hoping not to read any more articles about Velus Jones Jr. Even after his release from the Chicago Bears after Week 7, the former third-round pick made some news Monday when his backpack found its way to a local Goodwill. at the local goodwill and i think @VelusJr might’ve left this in his backpack when he donated it pic.twitter.com/6xlpiPFIku The playbook is from Week 2 of the 2022 season when the Bears were set to face the Green Bay Packers. While players are often asked to return their tablets/playbooks upon being released from the team, it would seem that any extracurricular homework assignments are not. Jones Jr. ended up being inactive for that game, so whatever the assignment was, it would seem that it didn't take.

WASHINGTON: US President-elect Donald Trump filed a brief Friday urging the Supreme Court to pause a law that would ban TikTok the day before his January 20 inauguration if it is not sold by its Chinese owner ByteDance. “In light of the novelty and difficulty of this case, the court should consider staying the statutory deadline to grant more breathing space to address these issues,” Trump’s legal team wrote, to give him “the opportunity to pursue a political resolution.” Trump was fiercely opposed to TikTok during his 2017-21 first term, and tried in vain to ban the video app on national security grounds. The Republican voiced concerns — echoed by political rivals — that the Chinese government might tap into US TikTok users’ data or manipulate what they see on the platform. US officials had also voiced alarm over the popularity of the video-sharing app with young people, alleging that its parent company is subservient to Beijing and that the app is used to spread propaganda, claims denied by the company and the Chinese government. Trump called for a US company to buy TikTok, with the government sharing in the sale price, and his successor Joe Biden went one stage further — signing a law to ban the app for the same reasons. Trump has now, however, reversed course. At a press conference last week, Trump said he has “a warm spot” for TikTok and that his administration would take a look at the app and the potential ban. Earlier this month, the president-elect met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. Recently, Trump told Bloomberg he had changed his mind about the app: “Now (that) I’m thinking about it, I’m for TikTok, because you need competition.” “If you don’t have TikTok, you have Facebook and Instagram — and that’s, you know, that’s Zuckerberg.” Facebook, founded by Mark Zuckerberg and part of his Meta tech empire, was among the social media networks that banned Trump after attacks by his supporters on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The ban was driven by concerns that he would use the platform to promote more violence. Those bans on major social media platforms were later lifted. In the brief filed on Friday, Trump’s lawyer made it clear the president-elect did not take a position on the legal merits of the current case. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute,” John Sauer wrote in the amicus curiae — or “friend of the court” — brief. “Instead, he respectfully requests that the court consider staying the act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump’s incoming Administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case.” A coalition of free speech groups — including the American Civil Liberties Union — also filed a separate brief to the Supreme Court opposing enforcement of the law, citing censorship concerns. “Such a ban is unprecedented in our country and, if it goes into effect, will cause a far-reaching disruption in Americans’ ability to engage with the content and audiences of their choice online,” the rights groups’ filing read, in part. The US apex court agreed last week to hear TikTok’s appeal against Biden’s move to force its owner to divest from it or face a ban. With oral arguments scheduled for January 10, the case would have to be heard at a breakneck speed. TikTok argues that the law, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, violates its First Amendment free speech rights.

THE provocative story of a young man sentenced to death by hanging for stealing a fowl should trigger a revolution in Nigeria’s criminal justice system. Segun Olowookere was just 17 in 2010 when police arrested him on charges of stealing a chicken and eggs from a relative’s house in Ikirun, Osun State. In court, the story assumed a dangerous dimension. He was charged with armed robbery, reportedly armed with a wooden gun and a machete. An alleged accomplice, Sunday Morakinyo, was also arrested. They were detained and tortured and moved from one police facility to another, Olowookere alleged. His father said the police asked him for N30,000 for his bail but he could only raise N20,000, which was rejected. While he was sourcing the outstanding N10,000, the teenager was moved to another police formation and then to court. The judge, Jide Falola, sentenced him to death by hanging after three witnesses testified against him. On this count, the judge was right: in Nigeria, armed robbery carries a death sentence. Olowookere has spent 10 years on the death row. Before his sentence, he had spent four years in police detention. In prison, he pursued his dream of becoming a medical doctor. He was accepted to train informally under the medical professionals in the prison system, hoping to enrol at a university if he got out. A podcast about him drew Governor Ademola Adeleke’s attention to his ordeal. On Thursday, the governor pardoned the duo along with 51 others. The prerogative of mercy is absent in many cases. A former attorney-general in the state insinuated that Adeleke was trying to free Olowookere by “underhand means.” But Olowookere denied robbing his uncle. Although the facts before the judge were that he robbed with a weapon, there was a hint that he was arraigned because his poor family could not meet the bail conditions. Courts should be presented with all the facts in a case to reach accurate, just decisions.

As of September 2024, there were 3,590 inmates on the death row in Nigeria. Out of that number, 3,517 were males and 73 were females. Those awaiting trial were 57,750. One thing the death row inmates have in common is poverty, says Amnesty International. “From their first contact with the police, through the trial process, to seeking pardon, those with the fewest resources are at a serious disadvantage... In Nigeria, the criminal justice system is deeply flawed.” That was why Olowookere spent 14 years between police detention cells and the death row dungeon. The World Justice Project’s Global Rule of Law Index, released in late October 2023, ranked Nigeria 100th on civil justice out of 142 countries and 86th on criminal justice. This is woeful. About 111 countries have abolished the death penalty except in extreme cases such as war, but Nigeria still practices it. Crime does not pay, and armed robbery is punishable by death. The major problem with Nigeria’s justice system is that politically exposed persons manipulate it and escape justice. In Nigeria, the more you steal, the better the chances of escaping retribution. Recklessly, the erstwhile President Muhammadu Buhari pardoned two former governors convicted of theft in 2022. So, powerful crooks flaunt their loot obscenely. The Osun chicken thief case is an opportunity for Nigeria to review and repeal obsolete laws that seem to tie judges’ hands and sentence the helpless to misery and death.CVS Health Corporation Announces Pricing of Any and All Tender Offer
