READ MORE

Une policière blanche de Dallas, qui avait abattu un voisin noir en se trompant d’appartement en rentrant chez elle, a été inculpée vendredi de meurtre.


Amber Guyger, 30 ans, avait dans un premier temps été poursuivie flow carnage involontaire, la famille de la victime dénonçant un “traitement de faveur” dans cette affaire qui a rencontré un écho au-delà de la frontière texane, voire américaine.


La policière, qui venait de terminer son service, a tué dans la nuit du 6 au 7 septembre Botham Shem Jean, un homme de 26 ans originaire de l’île de Sainte-Lucie, dans les Caraïbes, qui vivait dans l’appartement en dessous du sien.


Elle assure être descendue de l’ascenseur au mauvais étage et être entrée sans se rendre compte de son erreur dans l’appartement de son voisin, qui n’était pas fermé à clé.


Dans la pénombre, pensant avoir à faire à un intrus, elle a ouvert le feu sur le jeune homme, employé du cupboard d’experts comptables PriceWaterhouseCoopers et diplômé en 2016 d’une université de l’Arkansas.


La military de Dallas, flow laquelle Amber Guyger travaillait depuis quatre ans, l’a renvoyée.


Un grand jury a annoncé vendredi inculper l’ex-agente flow meurtre, lui faisant encourir la jail à vie.


“C’est une grande avancée. Mais ce n’est aussi qu’un début”, a commenté Lee Merritt, l’avocat de la famille de Botham Shem Jean.


Les statistiques judiciaires montrent qu’il est singular aux Etats-Unis qu’un policier blanc ayant tué un Noir soit condamné flow meurtre.


Un éventuel procès de la policière ne s’ouvrira pas avant au moins un an, a indiqué Faith Johnson, la procureure de Dallas.

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...

READ MORE A Toronto man accused of conspiring with the head of Marvel Entertainment in a bizarre hate mail campaign against his wealthy former employer has denied any role in the alleged scheme. David Smith, along with Marvel CEO Isaac (Ike) Perlmutter, is the target of a slander lawsuit launched earlier this year by Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom. Now Smith — a former employee of Peerenboom’s Toronto-based executive search firm, Mandrake Management — has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. civil suit. It’s the latest development in the years-long legal battle between Peerenboom and Perlmutter, a notoriously reclusive American billionaire and personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump. The hate mail campaign, which ran   between 2012 to 2015, saw anonymous letters falsely accusing Peerenboom of being a child molester, murderer and anti-Semite...
