Raul Valle Faces New Trial on Lesser Charges | Hartford News

Raul Valle, acquitted of murder and intentional assault in the 2022 stabbing death of 17-year-old James McGrath, now faces a retrial on lesser reckless conduct charges — a move his defense says violates double jeopardy. The judge denied his motion to dismiss, paving the way for prosecutors to refile manslaughter and assault charges focused on recklessness, not intent. Valle’s attorney plans to appeal to the Connecticut Appellate Court, arguing the jury’s not-guilty verdict on the main charges should close the case — but the legal battle rages on as the case heads to higher courts.

Connecticut Lottery Winners Go Anonymous | Hartford News

Connecticut Lottery winners are now staying anonymous—unless they choose to reveal themselves—thanks to a new privacy policy kicking in October 1, 2025, designed to shield big winners from scams. Gone are the days of public first names and initials; now, full identities are hidden by default. While some miss the spotlight, safety is the priority. Recent wins include a $1M jackpot in Bridgeport and a $100K prize in Stamford, with dozens more in the $20K–$50K range across towns like Norwich and Westport—proof that luck’s still hitting the state, even if winners are keeping their heads down.
