Woman charged with murder in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS – A woman accused of intentionally plowing a car carrying her young daughter through crowds of pedestrians on the Las Vegas Strip was charged Tuesday with murder, child abuse and hit-and-run.
Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said he expects to file additional charges against Lakeisha Nicole Holloway, 24, in coming days.
“This is an ongoing investigation with many items of video, physical evidence and many, many witnesses to be interviewed,” Wolfson said.
One of Holloway’s public defense attorneys, Joseph Abood, said she plans to plead not guilty.
Trump mocks Clinton for break at debate
WASHINGTON – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump labeled Democrat Hillary Clinton “disgusting” for using the restroom during a commercial break at the last Democratic debate and used crude language to describe her primary loss to now-President Barack Obama in 2008.
“She was favored to win and she got schlonged, she lost,” he said on Monday night, using a slang word for male genitalia.
Trump, who has ramped up his criticism of Clinton in recent weeks, also mocked Clinton for returning late to Saturday’s debate following a commercial break because she’d been using the bathroom.
“What happened to her? I’m watching the debate, and she disappeared. Where did she go?!” Trump said at the rally at the DeltaPlex Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
“I know where she went. It’s disgusting, I don’t want to talk about it,” he added. “No, it’s too disgusting. Don’t say it, it’s disgusting.”
Kentucky to issue new marriage licenses
FRANKFORT, Ky. – Kentucky Republican Gov. Matt Bevin ordered the state to prepare new marriage licenses that do not include the names of county clerks, in an attempt to protect the religious beliefs of clerk Kim Davis and other local elected officials.
The executive order comes after Davis, the Rowan County clerk, spent five days in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Davis said she could not issue the licenses because they had her name on them.
