Edmond police officer seeks immunity in brother's shooting
SUMMARY: Lieutenant Jennifer Haddock of the Edmond Police Department shot her brother, Sean, in August 2023, and is seeking immunity from prosecution under Oklahoma’s Stand Your Ground law. During a 911 call, she reported the incident, stating, “I just shot my brother.” The court documents indicate Sean was under the influence of meth and fentanyl, posing a dangerous threat while blocking her exit in their mother’s apartment. Haddock’s attorney argues she acted in self-defense after attempting de-escalation and faced imminent danger. The law allows individuals to use deadly force if they reasonably believe it’s necessary to prevent significant harm.

SUMMARY: In 2024, Oklahoma City reported the deaths of 74 homeless individuals, highlighting the severe consequences of eviction. Anthony Goulding, 82, died in a fire during an eviction, while Charles Henderson Jr., 36, succumbed to homelessness after being forced out of his mother’s home. A study by Eviction Lab linked eviction to increased mortality, particularly affecting low-income residents. Evictions lead to homelessness, preventing access to essential health and support networks. Legal aid advocates stress that the lack of stable housing severely impacts health and survival, as many face life-threatening conditions without proper shelter or care during harsh weather.

15 state treasurers urge states to divest pension funds from China | National
SUMMARY: State legislatures and financial officers from 15 states are urging pension fund fiduciaries to divest from investments in China due to concerns about threats posed by the Communist Party of China (CCP) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). They cite unreliable audits, market manipulations, and risks related to Variable Interest Entities (VIEs) as key reasons for divestment. Financial leaders highlight that failure to act could result in significant financial losses, similar to the experience following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, they warn about national security threats and ongoing espionage activities linked to China.
