US hitwoman in niqab disguise guilty of conspiracy to murder in Birmingham
A US citizen has been found guilty of conspiracy to murder in relation to a failed assassination plot in Birmingham in September 2019. Aimee Betro, 45, appeared in Birmingham Crown Court on Tuesday wearing a purple T-shirt and with her hair in space buns. She showed no obvious reaction and stared towards the jury bench as the verdicts were returned. She was found guilty by majority 11-verdicts on charges of conspiracy to murder and possessing a self-loading pistol with intent to cause fear of violence. She was found guilty by a unanimous verdict on a charge of illegally importing ammunition. Jurors deliberated for almost 21 hours before handing down the verdicts. Betro, who is originally from West Allis in Wisconsin but spent several years in Armenia before her arrest in January, will be sentenced on 21 August. Defence barrister Paul Lewis KC said he was not asking for pre-sentence reports as they would not assist the court. Judge Simon Drew KC told the court: 'I suspect Miss Betro would like to know the outcome of this case and there is nothing worse than sitting waiting.' Betro also showed no emotion as she was remanded in custody and led away to the cells. During the trial, prosecutors said Betro flew to Britain in August 2019 to take part in a plot orchestrated by co-conspirators Mohammed Aslam, 56, and his son Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, to attack another family as part of a 'violent' feud. The court heard the 45-year-old graduate hid her face using a niqab when she got out of a Mercedes and tried to shoot Sikander Ali at point-blank range outside his home in Measham Grove, Yardley. However, the handgun jammed, allowing Mr Ali to flee in his car.

Doug LaMalfa faces hostile crowd at town hall meeting in his own congressional district
Even though he was deep inside his bright red congressional district, U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa faced a mostly hostile crowd Monday during his first North State town hall meeting in several years. Residents at LaMalfa's town hall meeting in Red Bluff peppered him with a wide range of questions and comments on such topics as immigration, redistricting, the Epstein files, support for Israel, tariffs, wildfires, climate change, forest management and changes to Medicaid. Many times he was shouted down by members of the audience, who held up green cards to show approval or red pieces of paper for disapproval. "You just embarrass yourself when you act like that," LaMalfa said after several people yelled out "You're a liar," and "Tell the truth!" It was the second rowdy crowd the Republican lawmaker faced Monday. He held a similar town hall earlier in the day in Chico, where members of the audience shouted obscenities at him. Jill Smith, a lifelong Red Bluff resident, said the crowd of about 350 people was upset because it had been years since LaMalfa had held a public meeting in Tehama County. "All these people are angry. They have concerns. I have concerns. I could vote Democrat or Republican as long as I think they're doing something good for our country. But right now I don't see that happening with this, and that's why everybody's angry," Smith said. LaMalfa was criticized for many of his votes in Congress, including his support in 2021 not to certify the 2020 election that ushered in Joe Biden as president and this year for backing President Trump and his many executive orders, which some on Monday said usurped power from Congress. "You made a choice to violate your oath to the Constitution," Max Walter of Redding said, referring to LaMalfa's vote not to certify the 2020 presidential election. "And every day since then, you have violated your oath. But you have loyalty, you have loyalty to a felon (Trump), to somebody who mocks people in wheelchairs, to someone who mocks women." On questions about tariffs, LaMalfa said he supported them, claiming they would bring jobs back to the U.S. He also said he supported release of the Epstein files, but wanted to make sure the names of victims aren't released. Roy Reddin asked if LaMalfa supported the type of congressional redistricting that is proposed in Texas. "Currently the Texas legislature is very close to to an epic gerrymandering where they are going to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Democratic voters by realigning their districts. So my question to you, is in two parts: Do you support what the Texas legislature is doing and why should California not do the same thing for five seats, one of which could be yours," Reddin said. Although redistricting congressional districts happen at the state level, LaMalfa said he opposed attempts at redistricting such as what is happening in Texas, where the state legislature has proposed redrawing congressional district maps. The redistricting plan in Texas could lead to the state picking up an additional five Republican seats in Congress, helping the GOP retain a majority in the House next year. But other states, including California, have vowed to re-draw congressional district boundaries, if Texas goes through with its plan. Not everyone was critical of LaMalfa. One woman said she was an immigrant and she supports LaMalfa because he backs the Trump administration's actions against undocumented immigrants. "He's an honest Christian man and he's fighting for us," one woman said. One woman who spoke out said many of the issues that came up Monday were moral issues that transcended a political climate that has become too divisive. "I'm afraid to stand up for my rights because I might get shot," she told LaMalfa, citing the shootings of state legislators in Minnesota this summer.

Memphis school board members face term limits starting in 2026
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Shelby County School board members will now be limited to two terms of four years. This comes after commissioners voted for those term limits during a meeting on Monday. The new rule begins in 2026. What remains up for debate is whether to align those board elections with county-wide elections. The terms are currently staggered. Judge denies injunction in Feagins' case against MSCS Next month, the Shelby County Board of Commissioners will continue debating whether all nine seats will be on the ballot in 2026 or 2030, four years later. However, if commissioners vote for the 2026 election, five school board members will have their cut in half. Those are the board members who were just elected last year. The 2030 election will ensure that all elected to the school board last year will serve their entire four-year term. This will be discussed again on September 3. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
