Kuvaus

Rhode Island’s legal drama just took a sharp turn as former House Speaker Joe Shekarchi’s bid for a lifetime Supreme Court seat hit a major courtroom hurdle — and then got cleared. The Ethics Commission investigated whether his post-office move violated the state’s “revolving door” law, designed to prevent insider deals. Shekarchi sued to halt the probe, but after initial setbacks, he filed more motions. The judge presiding, Richard Licht — himself under scrutiny for his own appointment — ultimately ruled Shekarchi’s application lawful. The court found no ethical breach if confirmed, effectively shutting down the Ethics Commission’s investigation and paving the way for Shekarchi’s nomination to proceed without immediate ethical cloud.

Lindsay Clancy Trial Deepens | Providence News

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial resumes with high stakes as the court dives into the core legal question: was she criminally responsible for her children’s deaths? Her ex-husband Patrick took the stand, describing the harrowing moment he found them, while the prosecution and defense agree on the facts — the real battle centers on intent and mental state. Patrick’s chilling 911 call, though pivotal, remains sealed from the public, underscoring the case’s sensitivity. More testimony looms as the court weighs every detail in pursuit of justice amid profound emotional weight. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
