Autopsy and toxicology reports are complete for three Kansas City Chiefs fans found mysteriously dead in their friend's snowy backyard earlier this year - but their results have been suppressed in light of an ongoing investigation. Harrington, 37, Clayton McGeeney, 36, and Ricky Johnson, 38, were discovered frozen and dead behind their longtime friend Jordan Willis' home on Jan. 9, two days after they were all last seen alive inside the house watching the Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers. A representative from Frontier Forensics Midwest LLC told Fox News Digital that their autopsies and toxicology reports had been completed in "late January," but said that only the Platte County Prosecuting Attorney's Office could release their results. The latter agency could not immediately be reached for comment.Preliminary results were shared orally with the men's family members by Kansas City Police Department detectives in early February - THC, cocaine and lethal levels of fentanyl were reportedly found in the three men's systems, Fox News Digital previously reported.

Johnson's mother previously told Fox News Digital that she feared Willis had "concocted something and gave it to all three men," while the 38-year-old's father said he "[believed Willis] drugged them, dragged them outside and waited two days to call police."Willis' attorney, John Picerno, has said that his client was unaware that his friends needed help in his backyard, and he had no idea that they were dead in his backyard until police arrived there on the evening of Jan. 9.McGeeney's fiancée called authorities to the scene after she broke onto Willis' property following unsuccessful attempts to reach Willis and unanswered knocks on his door.

Trump against former President Donald Trump is "grossly unfair."Joining "Hannity" via phone from prison, Avenatti said his characterization of the trial may come as a surprise to many people.He admitted that while he and Trump may disagree on 95% of issues, they both agree that the politicization of high-profile cases in the United States, particularly this example, is "gross, uncalled for and flat out wrong.""This is an effort to deprive millions of Americans of their choice for president," Avenatti said.

(Screenshot/FNC)"I certainly see him as a victim of the system," he said. "And that's something that I never thought I would say. So if Michael Avenatti is coming to his defense, and I was one of his staunchest opponents for a very significant period of time, that should tell people something."Avenatti, an inmate at minimum-security Terminal Island federal prison in California, has been in contact with the Trump defense team about possibly testifying in the New York case and says he'd tell the truth if called to the stand.

A woman who sued Mississippi's capital city over the death of her brother has decided to reject a settlement after officials publicly disclosed how much the city would pay his survivors, her attorney said Wednesday.George Robinson, 62, died in January 2019, days after three Jackson police officers pulled him from a car while searching for a murder suspect.The Jackson City Council on Tuesday approved the payment of $17,786 to settle the lawsuit that relatives of Robinson filed in state court in October 2019, WLBT-TV reported. City documents said the settlement was not an admission of liability by the city or the three officers named in the lawsuit. Robinson was Black, as are the three officers.FORMER MISSISSIPPI OFFICERS WHO ADMITTED TO TORTURING 2 BLACK MEN FACE SENTENCING IN STATE COURTThe payment to the relatives — including Robinson's sister, Bettersten Wade — was approved on a unanimous vote. Wade's attorney, Dennis Sweet III, released a letter Wednesday saying that the city of Jackson violated a confidentiality agreement that was part of the settlement. Sweet said that because of the public disclosure and because the city "appears to claim or infer some sort of perceived victory," Wade intends to continue suing the city.Sweet said Robinson's family reached a separate "substantial settlement" with an ambulance company.Councilman Kenneth Stokes said he thought the city settlement was too small, although he voted for it.

(AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis, File)"I’m saying it just sends the wrong message about human life, especially Black people’s lives," Stokes said. "I think a step in the right direction would’ve been to pay the family a little bit more."The lawsuit alleged that the three officers "brutally, viciously and mercilessly beat Mr. Robinson by striking and kicking him.""Mr. Robinson had not committed any crime, was not the subject of any active warrant, and was not a threat to himself or any person in the area," the lawsuit said.Robinson had been hospitalized for a stroke days before the police encounter and was on medication, Wade has said. He had a seizure hours after he was beaten, and he died two days later from bleeding on his brain.Second-degree murder charges against two of the officers were dropped in the case. In August 2022, a Hinds County jury convicted former detective Anthony Fox of culpable negligence manslaughter — and then in January of this year, the Mississippi Court of Appeals overturned Fox's conviction. A majority of the appeals court wrote that prosecutors failed to prove Fox "acted in a grossly negligent manner" or that Robinson's death "was reasonably foreseeable under the circumstances."Wade is the mother of Dexter Wade, who was run over by an off-duty Jackson Police Department officer in March 2023.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPDexter Wade was buried at the Hinds County Pauper’s Cemetery. But it was October before his mother was told about the burial.His body was exhumed Nov. 13, and an independent autopsy was conducted. A wallet found in the pocket of his jeans contained his state identification card with his home address, credit card and a health insurance card, said civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Wade’s family.On Nov. 20, Dexter Wade's family held a funeral for him, and he was buried in another cemetery.
With spring in full swing and summer on its way, food trucks and outdoor dining are returning throughout the country. And while food trucks — and the idea of selling food from vehicles — have existed for decades, the modern iteration of the food truck was invented in 1974, according to the website for King Taco.Amid naysayers, Don Raúl and Doña Lupe purchased an ice cream truck and converted it into a taco truck in Los Angeles. That summer, "Raúl and Lupe stationed their taco truck next to an East LA bar where they became popularly known," said King Taco's website.OSCAR MAYER BRINGS BACK THE 'WIENERMOBILE' NAME: 'BELOVED AMERICAN ICON'Today, food trucks in the United States offer just about every kind of food imaginable — from bánh mìs to pizzas. The website Food Truck Operator recently released its list of 25 food trucks to watch. Here is a look at five notable food trucks that just might be setting up shop near you.

Published1 minute agoShareclose panelShare pageCopy linkAbout sharingImage source, ReutersBy Graeme BakerBBC News, WashingtonHollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by New York's top court, on the basis that he did not receive a fair trial.The New York Court of Appeals found that prosecutors were allowed to call witnesses whose accusations were not part of the trial.The ruling said that meant he was tried on past behaviour and not solely on the crimes he was charged with.Weinstein, 72, will remain in prison for a separate conviction for rape.The New York court reached its decision on Thursday 4-3, stating:"Order reversed and a new trial ordered".The Weinstein case was one of the most prominent to arise from the #MeToo movement, which exposed sexual abuse and misbehaviour at the highest levels of the Hollywood film industry and beyond.His conviction, heralded by activists as a landmark, was first heard by New York's Court of Appeals in February.He faced two trials: in New York, where he was jailed for 23 years in 2020 for raping two women; and in California, where he sentenced to 16 years for raping a woman in a Beverly Hills hotel.
A union leader in New York warned workers are turning their backs on the Democratic Party and will support former President Trump in November as they battle various issues stemming from the economy and crime. Steamfitters Local 638 manager Bob Bartels, who is a lifelong Democrat, joined "Fox & Friends" to explain why he sees change on the horizon for the blue-collar vote and why workers are fed up with the Biden administration's policies despite Trump's legal woes. SUPREME COURT AGREES TO REVIEW WHETHER TRUMP IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION IN FEDERAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE"Nothing changes my opinion because… I want to see what's done for America. I want what's right for America. I want what's right for the citizens, and my members want that also," Bartels told Brian Kilmeade on Thursday. "They are very agitated. They are living week to week, some of them are not affording their bills, and I think things need to change.""Members have basically told me, ‘Listen, we want to vote for this guy,’ so when the time is right and I have a bigger poll to be done, we will make that decision, but I will do whatever my members want me to do."Bartels' comments came after Trump visited a construction site in New York City where he was met with praise from hundreds of union workers. "We're very close in New York, I understand, and we're leading in the country by a lot," Trump said. "A poll just came out a little while ago, as you saw yesterday, that we were up in every swing state and up by a lot in every swing state, so, I think we're going to do very well, and we're going to make a play for New York." NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 25: Former U.S. President Donald Trump greets union workers at the construction site of the new J.P. Morgan Chase building on April 25, 2024 in New York City. The former president met with union members ahead of the start of his hush money trial where David Pecker, the former National Enquirer publisher, is scheduled to return to the witness stand. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first of his criminal cases to go to trial. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images) (Getty Images)"Normally a Democrat will win New York," he continued. "Biden is the worst president in history, and we have some very bad people here, but we have the greatest people, and they're right behind me, and they all want us to run, and we're going to we're going to run very hard in New York."Bartels said Trump's legal woes have no impact on his decision to vote for him in November given the severity of the challenges Americans are currently facing. TRUMP WARNS THAT IF HE LOSES PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY, SO WILL 'CROOKED' JOE BIDEN"I see a wave coming, as a matter of fact, and… nobody that I speak to likes what's going on in America right now," he said. Trump's visit comes as he attends the seventh day of his criminal trial in New York City stemming from charges out of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation. The Supreme Court is also hearing arguments Thursday on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case.Despite the former president's busy court schedule, a Wall Street Journal survey released earlier this month indicated Trump with the edge over the president in six of the seven states polled: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina.According to the survey, Trump holds a six-point lead over Biden in North Carolina in a ballot that also includes third-party and independent candidates. Trump has a five-point lead in Arizona, a four-point edge in Nevada, and three-point advantages in Michigan and Pennsylvania. The former president edges the White House incumbent by a single point in Georgia, with the two tied in Wisconsin."I put out a poll in my union. President Trump is leading Joe Biden three to one on my presidential poll out of my 9,000 members," Bartels said. "We are very tired of the situation with groceries, inflation, gas prices, illegal immigration, crime. We are living it every day in New York City."Fox News' Brooke Singman, Aubrie Spady and Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
Yesterday,
I spent much of the afternoon speaking to students at Columbia University,
where the protests against the Gaza war have been marred by allegations of
harassment and antisemitic incidents.Several Jewish students told me they were
concerned about a threatening campus environment.Guy Sela, an Israeli Columbia student - and a
veteran of the Israel Defense Forces - told the BBC he believed "every
Israeli Jewish student" at the university had faced "at least one
antisemitic act", whether verbal or physical, since the protest began."I've been threatened here, called names
like murderer, butcher and rapist, just because I was born in Israel," he
said.Jonathan Swill, a 27-year old master's student
from New Jersey, told the BBC he was moving to Israel after graduation, having
turned down a place in a doctoral programme at Columbia."I just can't stay here anymore," he
said."This place is uncomfortable for me. Every
time I wake up, I dread having to come to campus. I don't know when I'm going
to have things thrown at me."Another Jewish
student - who asked to remain anonymous, citing safety reasons - said his
experiences with antisemitism on campus recently have been "emotionally
exhausting" and have led to constant feelings of fear, particularly when
leaving religious ceremonies."I feel scared wearing my yarmulke," he said. "In the past week,
there's definitely been a change. It's 100% as bad as everyone is saying."
