Ghislaine Maxwell denied bail for the 4th time in Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse case

Image
  A judge on Tuesday again, November 10, refused to let British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell trade a jail cell for home detention, citing previous rulings that the nature of charges alleging Maxwell recruited teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse and her ability to flee make it impossible to let her out. It was the fourth time that U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan has rejected a bail application for Maxwell, 59. Previous applications were also twice rejected by a Manhattan federal appeals court.   Nathan made the rejection in a two-page order in which she also promised that Maxwell will be transported from her Brooklyn federal jail to her trial “in a way that is humane, proper, and consistent with security protocols.” The judge said lawyers for the Metropolitan Detention Center assured these protocols in a sealed letter.   One of Maxwell’s lawyers complained that she was brought to the courthouse last week for a hearing nearly six hour...

John Fury, father to WBC Heavyweight boxing champion, Tyson Fury, has revealed that his son wasn't fully fit before his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder in October. According to John, a former boxer himself,  Tyson was carrying serious injuries into the fight, had just three-and-a-half weeks of full training and after the fight had to undergo a six-hour surgery on his elbows .     Tyson also known as the Gypsy King ended his long-term rivalry with Wilder in ruthless fashion, surviving two heavy knockdowns before knocking out the American in the 11th round of their fight.   Fury, who made the first defence of his WBC belt with the victory, once again abandoned his more customary box-and-move style, instead taking the fight to Wilder.   Wilder received praise for his courageous performance to keep fighting despite falling to a second successive defeat, but John Fury insists the American was simply up against a totally unfit opponent....

The sale included user manuals and Apple software on two cassette tapes.  "This is kind of the holy grail for vintage electronics and computer tech collectors," Apple-1 expert Corey Cohen told the Los Angeles Times ahead of Tuesday's auction in the city of Monrovia, near Los Angeles. "That really makes it exciting for a lot of people."   Jobs, Wozniak, and Ronald Wayn...
