US says South Korea's Yoon badly misjudged martial law declarationOTTUMWA — Jurors Wednesday heard the first of the state's evidence in a first-degree murder case resulting from a 2023 stabbing in Ottumwa. On trial is 61-year-old Gary Lewis Scott, of Ottumwa. Prosecutors say he fatally stabbed 34-year-old Sammy Gallegos-Ramirez, of Ottumwa, at 301 S. Ward St. in southeast Ottumwa on Oct. 16, 2023, at about 10:40 p.m. Authorities who responded that night found Ramirez on the ground with bloody wounds and not breathing. He was taken to Ottumwa Regional Health Center where he was ultimately pronounced dead. Wapello County Attorney Steviee Grove told the jury the incident was caught on surveillance video, which was shown to the jury Wednesday afternoon. The video, introduced in short clips, showed the two walking toward the backyard of the residence. The two were then involved in a brief physical altercation, and eventually, Scott is seen knocked to the ground while Ramirez walks toward the front of the house, with apparent blood on his clothing. Ramirez is then seen collapsing on the south side of the residence near the end of the last video clip. The digital recording device the video was stored on was missing for "several hours" before being returned to police, officers who testified Wednesday said. Robert Breckenridge, an attorney for Scott, indicated to the jury it was an act of self-defense. Ramirez, at about 6-foot-4 and more than 400 pounds, visibly outsized Scott, who Breckenridge said was about 5-foot-10, 200 pounds. Scott is also disabled and was unable to lift one of his arms above shoulder height. Breckenridge said Scott had tried to retreat and de-escalate the fight, and eventually Ramirez backed him into a corner. One of the stabs hit Ramirez's heart, and another was to Ramirez's chest. There was also a slash wound from the knife on Ramirez's thigh, and Scott had a cut on his hand. The knife was located behind a garage on the west side of the residence. Scott was arrested a few days later on a warrant. There were two witnesses present who observed the beginnings of the altercation inside the residence. Mindy Cordray, the homeowner, said she told the two to go outside after a verbal argument turned physical. Prior to the altercation, she, Lisa Hirschy, and Scott were at the residence assembling paintball guns at the time. Ramirez came to the house later, but the four had socialized together before, Cordray said. Cordray testified that she didn't think there had been any animosity between Ramirez and Scott before, nor was she aware of prior physical altercations. "Sammy told him [Scott] to pull up his pants and they started bickering back and forth," Cordray testified. "It wasn't anything serious, I thought, anyway." After telling them to go outside to resolve it, she said she watched the incident on her surveillance cameras and called 911. Hirschy also testified the two had started bickering, and eventually pushing each other before going outside. Scott is charged with first-degree murder, willful injury causing serious injury, assault while participating in a felony, and going armed with intent. He has pled not guilty to all charges. If convicted of first-degree murder, Scott faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole. The willful injury and assault charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, and going armed with intent carries a maximum penalty of up to 5 years in prison. The court recessed Wednesday afternoon and will resume at 9 a.m. Thursday.Images of unmasked suspect in UnitedHealth executive shooting key to arrest11 super game 。

White House says at least 8 US telecom firms, dozens of nations impacted by China hacking campaignThe justices' decision, not expected for several months, could affect similar laws enacted by another 25 states and a range of other efforts to regulate the lives of transgender people, including which sports competitions they can join and which restrooms they can use. The case is being weighed by a conservative-dominated court after a presidential election in which Donald Trump and his allies promised to roll back protections for transgender people. The Biden administration's top Supreme Court lawyer warned a decision favorable to Tennessee also could be used to justify nationwide restrictions on transgender health care for minors. In arguments that lasted more than two hours, five of the six conservative justices voiced varying degrees of skepticism over arguments made by the administration and Chase Strangio, the ACLU lawyer for Tennessee families challenging the ban. Chief Justice John Roberts, who voted in the majority in a 2020 case in favor of transgender rights, questioned whether judges, rather than lawmakers, should weigh in on a question of regulating medical procedures, an area usually left to the states. "The Constitution leaves that question to the people's representatives, rather than to nine people, none of whom is a doctor," Roberts said in an exchange with Strangio. Justice Neil Gorsuch, who wrote the majority opinion in 2020, said nothing during the arguments. The court's three liberal justices seemed firmly on the side of the challengers, but it's not clear that any conservatives will go along. Justice Sonia Sotomayor pushed back against the assertion that the democratic process would be the best way to address objections to the law. She cited a history of laws discriminating against others, noting that transgender people make up less than 1% of the U.S. population, according to studies. There are an estimated 1.3 million adults and 300,000 adolescents ages 13 to 17 who identify as transgender, according the UCLA law school's Williams Institute. "Blacks were a much larger part of the population and it didn't protect them. It didn't protect women for whole centuries," Sotomayor said in an exchange with Tennessee Solicitor General Matt Rice. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said she saw some troubling parallels between arguments made by Tennessee and those advanced by Virginia and rejected by a unanimous court, in the 1967 Loving decision that legalized interracial marriage nationwide. Quoting from that decision, Jackson noted that Virginia argued then that "the scientific evidence is substantially in doubt and, consequently, the court should defer to the wisdom of the state legislature." Justice Samuel Alito repeatedly pressed Strangio, the first openly transgender lawyer to argue at the nation's highest court, about whether transgender people should be legally designated as a group that's susceptible to discrimination. Strangio answered that being transgender does fit that legal definition, though he acknowledged under Alito's questioning there are a small number of people who de-transition. "So it's not an immutable characteristic, is it?" Alito said. Strangio did not retreat from his view, though he said the court did not have to decide the issue to resolve the case in his clients' favor. There were dueling rallies outside the court in the hours before the arguments. Speeches and music filled the air on the sidewalk below the court's marble steps. Advocates of the ban bore signs like "Champion God's Design" and "Kids Health Matters," while the other side proclaimed "Fight like a Mother for Trans Rights" and "Freedom to be Ourselves." Four years ago, the court ruled in favor of Aimee Stephens, who was fired by a Michigan funeral home after she informed its owner she was a transgender woman. The court held that transgender people, as well as gay and lesbian people, are protected by a landmark federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in the workplace. The Biden administration and the families and health care providers who challenged the Tennessee law urged the justices to apply the same sort of analysis that the majority, made up of liberal and conservative justices, embraced in the case four years ago when it found that "sex plays an unmistakable role" in employers' decisions to punish transgender people for traits and behavior they otherwise tolerate. The issue in the Tennessee case is whether the law violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, which requires the government to treat similarly situated people the same. Tennessee's law bans puberty blockers and hormone treatments for transgender minors, but allows the same drugs to be used for other purposes. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, the administration's top Supreme Court lawyer, called the law sex-based line drawing to ban the use of drugs that have been safely prescribed for decades and said the state "decided to completely override the views of the patients, the parents, the doctors." She contrasted the Tennessee law with one enacted by West Virginia, which set conditions for the health care for transgender minors, but stopped short of an outright ban. Gender-affirming care for youth is supported by every major medical organization, including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Psychiatric Association.
