A host of other commitments prevented me from regular blogging this past week, even though there were plenty of stories and commentary that were blog-worthy. And yet, all these news items rounded up below also somehow seem standard for the crazy times we are in:
From ABC News, “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs will appeal conviction and prison sentence“
From Bloomberg Law, “George Santos Eyes Options: Prison Reform, Punditry, Reality TV“
From Jeff-alytics, “The FBI Will Likely Report The Lowest Murder Rate Ever Recorded In 2025“
From Law360, “Crypto Boss Loses Bid To Cut Sentence Over $36M Fraud“
From NBC News, “White House tightens the clemency process as Trump resumes pardons“
From the New York Times, “Jury Awards $42 Million in Death of Inmate at Private Jail in Louisiana“
From Reuters, “Trump pardons convicted Binance founder ‘CZ’ Zhao “
From Sentencing Matters Substack, “Erika Kirk, Taylor Swift, and Settling Scores: In an era of retribution, a widow and a showgirl show us better ways”
