Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:59:24 GMT

(KRON) -- A 29-year-old Santa Rosa man, Brad Adams, was sentenced by a judge Wednesday for attempting to murder a Taco Bell customer in the fast food restaurant's drive-through line. Adams was convicted in August of attempted murder and shooting at an occupied building. Under terms of a plea agreement, judge Troye Schaffer sentenced Adams to serve 11 years-to-life in state prison. Sonoma County District Attorney Carla Rodriguez said, "Mr. Adams terrorized and injured someone in in our community. Mr. Adams earned the indeterminate prison sentence through his brazen behavior."The shooting occurred on May 4, 2022, at a Taco Bell on Mendocino Avenue in Santa Rosa. The incident began when Adams challenged another person to a fistfight while waiting in the drive-through line, according to the District Attorney's Office. After making that initial verbal challenge, Adams got out of his truck and pointed a handgun equipped with a laser-sight at the victim, prosecutors said. Adams then got ba...

Fantasy plays: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 2

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:59:24 GMT

On behalf of fantasy football players everywhere, can we get some touchdowns?Please?Teams averaged just 20.6 points per game last week — the second lowest-scoring Week 1 in the past 13 seasons.Fantasy players felt that.Only seven quarterbacks had 20-plus points — the fewest in a Week 1 since 2017. Unless you had Tyreek Hill (39 half-PPR points) or the Dallas D/ST (37), your fantasy team likely didn’t put up a ton of points.Still, we saw some receivers excel (hello, Brandon Aiyuk) and got some clarity on running back timeshares (welcome back, Tyler Allgeier). We witnessed struggles from the tight end position (shoutout Hunter Henry and Hayden Hurst for being the only tight ends to eclipse double digits) as well as the return of the late-round quarterback (maybe).So, while Week 1 lacked offense, it didn’t lack surprises.Those surprises make start/sit decisions even more critical heading into Week 2. These decisions should, in theory, get easier as the season goes on and we gather more...

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:59:24 GMT

(CNN)– Un juez federal de Texas dictaminó este miércoles que una regulación destinada a preservar el programa de Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA, por sus siglas en inglés), es ilegal, en lo que representa un duro golpe para el Gobierno de Biden.El año pasado, el Gobierno trató de mantener el programa, que protege de la deportación a los inmigrantes indocumentados que llegaron a EE.UU. cuando eran niños. Con ese objetivo,  publicó una norma para codificar la política en un reglamento federal.Sin embargo, este miércoles, el juez Andrew Hanen, del Distrito Sur de Texas, sostuvo que DACA es ilegal y argumentó que la norma viola la Ley de Procedimiento Administrativo, la cual rige cómo las agencias hacen los reglamentos.La orden no afecta a los actuales beneficiarios del programa.“Para ser claros, ni esta orden ni la orden judicial complementaria que la acompaña requieren que el (Departamento de Seguridad Nacional) o el Departamento de Justicia tomen cu...

A coalition of advocacy groups took the opinions of 1,600 Coloradans across the state to find out the top issues facing the Latino community.The survey touched on a variety of topics, but the key takeaway from members of the Latino community is that Colorado is becoming way too expensive for people to live here. Will Prop HH eliminate TABOR refunds? Scenario ‘likely’ over time “This year’s data shows 61% of our community has less than $1,000 in savings. If something were to happen, $1,000 is not enough to pay rent, and they would be without a home with just one paycheck," said Mar Galvez Seminario. 1,600 Latino Coloradans polledGalvez Seminario is a legislative and research coordinator at the Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights, or COLOR for short.
