The judge recently called thirteen witnesses, N.Y.P.D. officers, and sergeants to testify on the case of garners’ death. Their testimonials are supposed to give clarity on this case and help the judge make a verdict. There are some legal investigations on the matter that have been opened. They aim to provide results on the police killing incident in which a black man was arrested as they disputed some cigarette sales.
These investigations started this month, on 25th October, and the judge handling the case is Erika Edwards. The judge has ordered testimonies from the N.Y.P.D. officers and the 13 witnesses. The proceedings focus on police brutality/ using force while arresting Garner and filing records about his arrest.
During these proceedings, Edwards said that nobody would be liable/ charged. This case is about transparency and creating a record to help the public understand the happenings of this case from 7 years ago.
Garners’ case emerged in 2014 when he was accused of selling untaxed cigars, and he denied this accusation. The N.Y.P.D. officers that detained Garner were Justin D’Amicoto & Daniel Pantaleo. These two officers tried to take him to custody, and one officer used a chokehold.
This incident was inhumane, and Garner said he couldn’t breathe as this happened and he was unconscious. The cops left him on a sidewalk, and the cops waited for the ambulance to arrive. When the ambulance got to the hospital, Garner had died.
Hip-Hop Icon Nicki Minaj has avoided paying a $20 million default judgment in a lawsuit that accuses her of harassment.
Nicki Minaj avoids paying a $20 Million Harassment default judgement
On Tuesday, a federal court clerk decided Nicki Minaj wasn’t in default of responding to the suit claiming she harassed the victim of her husband’s attempted rape conviction and even tried bribing her. Plaintiff Jennifer Hough wanted a $20 million judgment against Kenneth Petty and her for allegedly having lied about her claim that he raped her at knifepoint in 1994 and engaging in constant attempts to influence her to back down.
The Background of the Issue
The federal clerk on behalf of the Eastern District of New York denied the request related to Nicki Minaj, stating, as per the court docket, ‘it appears that Minaj filed paperwork last week revealing new legal representation in defense of the lawsuit. However, she did certify that Petty had not responded to the complaint or taken any additional actions in connection with it.
During a sworn statement filed on October 15th, Minaj explained that she assumed she had hired her lawyer when she spoke with him on Zoom in late September, however, a series of confusing communications caused her retainer to not be raised.
The lawsuit Kenneth Petty filed against the State of New York is based on his claim that he was not properly informed in 2004 that he had the right to challenge his risk level under the Sex Offender Registration Act. Due to his first-degree manslaughter conviction, which involved the killing of a man on a Queens street, he was in prison.
Due to the ‘Reasonable Doubt’ NFT, Roc-A-Fella sued Dame Dash.
There may be disappointment among Roc-a-Fella Records fans who hoped for a proper reunion.
An ex-label of hip hop mogul Damon Dash has filed a lawsuit against him.
With DASH, a non-fungible token (NFT), JAY Reasonable Doubt’s album was offered for sale. According to the outlet, Alex Spiro, Hov’s attorney, filed the lawsuit Friday (June 18) in the Southern District Court of New York.
As detailed in the documents, Spiro asserts, “Dame Dash planned on selling … the copyright to JAY-Z’s Reasonable Doubt, one of the greatest recordings ever made. Dash is frantically looking for another venue through which to sell these items… Currently, Dash is stealing a valuable resource and must be held accountable for doing so.”
In addition, Dame Dash is accused of converting a corporate asset and breaching his fiduciary duty by attempting to sell it. He should be held accountable for his stealthy conduct by the courts.
As mentioned above, Dame Dash owns and operates his own streaming service, titled Dame Dash Studios. Reasonable Doubt was supposed to be auctioned on the NFT marketplace SuperFarm, but the NFT listing was canceled after Spiro contacted SuperFarm.
Taking this to a new level, the NFT finally grants the winner the right to sell the song in future. The minted NFT is proof that the album was sold, transferring the copyright to the winner.”
He does not own any rights to Roc-A-Fella, so he cannot sell the rights to Reasonable Doubt, despite being a 33% stakeholder in the company.
It is possible fans may be disappointed by the news of a Roc-A-Fella Records reunion. They have not yet addressed the matter publicly.
