THE accused stalker who crashed into Jennifer Aniston's security gates at her Bel Air compound earlier this month appeared shirtless in an anti-suicide vest in court on Thursday.

Carwyle, who has pleaded not guilty to charges including felony stalking and felony vandalism, appeared emotionless behind a glass partition.
He was wearing glasses with disheveled gray hair and appeared to be wearing nothing but a long blue vest.
Public defender Robert Krauss told the court a psychiatrist's review found him to be incompetent to stand trial.
Yes in a shocking claim, Carwyle believes he is fit and is requesting a second opinion.
Judge Maria Cavalluzzi has ordered another independent psychiatrist to carry out a review.
Aniston's attorney, Blair Berk, was present in court and acknowledged the media but did not speak during the hearing.
Carwyle was transported from a correctional facility by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and is expected to remain behind bars ahead of his next court date on May 29.
Exclusive photographs obtained by The U.S. Sun show the suspect on a bus being transported back to jail as his suicidal prevention smock hung off his back.
Police allege that Carwyle rammed his Chrysler PT Cruiser through the gates of Aniston's property when she was at home on May 5.
A security guard whipped out a gun and stopped the suspect before the police came, and he never came face-to-face with the Friends star, authorities said.

Carwyle is accused of harassing Aniston including unwanted social media, email, and voicemail messages between March 1, 2023, and May 5, 2025 - the day he was arrested.
He also allegedly called Aniston his "bride" in online posts.
Carwyle is charged with one count each of felony stalking and felony vandalism, along with aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm.

HORROR HISTORY
His estranged wife previously claimed he traveled to Los Angeles months ago on a mission to meet the actress.
She said he believes he's Jesus and Aniston is supposed to be his "queen."
"I guess he was speaking with her. He had the impression that Jennifer Aniston and he were going to talk and meet," Julia Carwyle told the Daily Mail.
"He thought 'Maybe she's just going to meet a guy [...] to take a chance.' That's the way he was thinking."
After seeing shocking images of Carwyle glaring in his first court hearing, Julia said she no longer recognizes her ex-husband.
"It doesn't even look like him. He's no longer there," she said.
Carwyle has a minor criminal history, and wasn't being investigated for any wrongdoing at the time of his arrest, ABC News reported.
A judge previously granted a restraining order keeping him at least 100 yards away from Aniston and banning any contact.
Carwyle remains in jail on $150,000 bail and is facing three years if convicted.
Jen, 56, amassed global fame for her role as Rachel Green in the wildly popular sitcom Friends in the 1990s.
She continues to star in TV and films, including Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, in which she plays news anchor Alex Levy.

US appeals court won't reconsider Trump's $5 million loss to E. Jean Carroll
NEW YORK, June 13 (Reuters) - Donald Trump failed to persuade a federal appeals court to reconsider the $5 million verdict won by E. Jean Carroll after a jury found that the U.S. president sexually abused and defamed the former magazine columnist. A divided 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan on Friday left intact its Dec. 30 decision upholding the jury award. Carroll, now 81, accused Trump of attacking her around 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan, and defaming her in an October 2022 Truth Social post by denying her claim as a hoax. Jurors decided in May 2023 that Trump had sexually assaulted Carroll, and defamed her by lying. They did not find that Trump raped Carroll, as she had claimed. In seeking reconsideration, Trump maintained that the trial judge erred in letting jurors review the 2005 "Access Hollywood" video of him bragging about his sexual prowess, and a "pile-on" of inflammatory evidence that he mistreated two other women. One, businesswoman Jessica Leeds, said Trump groped her on a plane in the late 1970s. The other, former People magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff, said Trump forcibly kissed her at his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2005. Trump has denied their claims. Trump, who turns 79 on Saturday, is separately appealing an $83.3 million jury verdict in January 2024 for defaming Carroll and damaging her reputation in June 2019, when he first denied her claim about the Bergdorf encounter. The president is arguing in that appeal that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last July providing him substantial criminal immunity shields him from liability in Carroll's civil case. In his 2019 and 2022 denials of Carroll's accusations, Trump said she was "not my type" and had made up the rape claim to promote her memoir.

Detainees at New Jersey immigration center revolt as chaos unravels
Unrest and protests have erupted in and around a controversial immigration detention center in New Jersey, with police and federal officials clashing with protesters after detainees reportedly pushed down a wall in revolt at the conditions they are being held in. Around 50 detainees pushed down a wall in the dormitory room of the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, New Jersey, on Thursday night, according to an immigration lawyer representing the men held there. 'It's about the food, and some of the detainees were getting aggressive and it turned violent,' the lawyer, Mustafa Cetin, told NJ Advance Media. 'Based on what he told me it was an outer wall, not very strong, and they were able to push it down.' Following the uprising, a crowd of protesters gathered at the facility and videos posted on social media show them blocking vehicles being driven by law enforcement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents who sought to quell the disturbance. Amid the chaos, there were reports that four inmates were unaccounted for on Friday morning. This has not been confirmed, however. A group called NJ Alliance for Immigrant Justice said that there were 'reports of gas, pepper spray, and a possible fire' inside the center. Delaney Hall is run by a private prison company called GEO Group, which holds a $60m contract with the Trump administration to hold as many as 1,000 people at a time within the facility and has a controversial history over conditions at centers. The center reopened following a refurbishment last month but has faced controversy with local politicians claiming that it doesn't hold the correct work permits and certificate of occupancy, posing safety risks. GEO Group has denied this. Shortly after its reopening, LaMonica McIver, a Democratic representative, was arrested after joining an oversight visit of the center. On Wednesday, McIver was indicted and charged with assaulting and interfering with immigration officers, charges which she has called 'a brazen attempt at political intimidation'. Ras Baraka, the mayor of Newark, was also arrested at the site in that incident, for trespassing, but those charges have been dropped. 'We are concerned about reports of what has transpired at Delaney Hall this evening, ranging from withholding food and poor treatment, to uprising and escaped detainees,' Baraka said in a statement about the latest unrest at the center. He added: 'This entire situation lacks sufficient oversight of every basic detail, including local zoning laws and fundamental constitutional rights.' Ice has yet to comment on the situation at Delaney Hall. The clashes follow protests in several US cities over the detention of migrants and others by the Trump administration, most notably in Los Angeles, where Trump has deployed the military, a extremely rare and controversial move that is being challenged in court by the state of California.

Boston University finally responds to Alex Cooper accusing coach of sexual harassment
Boston University has finally responded to Alex Cooper's claims that she was sexually harassed by her soccer coach at the school, with the university saying it has a 'zero-tolerance policy' for such behavior. The allegations from the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast' mogul, who played at the school from 2013-15, emerged five days ago as she detailed the claims against longtime coach Nancy Feldman in her newly-released Hulu documentary, 'Call Me Alex.' And now, BU has issued a long-awaited statement on the matter. 'Boston University has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment,' the school began in a statement obtained by People. 'We have a robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student wellbeing and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office. 'We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all.' In her own telling of her experience, Cooper said in her documentary that her complaints were dismissed by school officials. 'I felt a lot of anger—anger at my coach, anger at my school, and anger at the system that allowed this to happen,' Cooper said in the Hulu documentary, as quoted by Vanity Fair. 'I don't think anyone could've prepared me for the lasting effects that came from this experience. She turned something that I loved so much into something extremely painful.' Cooper's allegations of unwanted attention and invasive questions are corroborated by her former dormmate and teammate Alex Schlobohm. Daily Mail previously reached out to Boston University officials and Nancy Feldman for comment. 'It was this psychotic game of, 'You wanna play? Tell me about your sex life. I have to drive you to your night class, get in the car with me alone,'' Cooper also claimed in the film. 'I started trying to spend as little time as possible with her. Taking different routes to practice where I knew I wouldn't run into her, during meetings, I would try to sit as far away from her as possible. Literally anything to not be alone with this woman.' She later added on Instagram that longtime coach Feldman, someone 'supposed to help me grow, instead 'made my life a living hell and abused her power over me.' Sometimes Feldman would pull Cooper in to sit next to her on the couch, the podcaster claimed, adding that the coach would often stare at her or place a hand on her thigh. Fearful of Feldman's power over her own scholarship, Cooper contacted attorneys who warned her of the potential consequences of taking legal action. 'If I'm gonna be real with you, they will drag this on for years and this will be your life,' Cooper quoted the attorneys in the film. Eventually Cooper approached university staff about the problem. 'I want to play my senior year,' she said, recalling the conversation. 'I want to finish out what I worked my entire life for, but I can't play for this woman. They said, 'We're not gonna fire her, but you can keep your entire scholarship and that's that.' No investigation. Within five minutes, they had entirely dismissed everything I had been through.' Cooper had previously spoken to The Athletic in vague terms about a 'traumatic experience' with regards to her college soccer career. However, she said in the 2022 interview that she planned to talk about the experience after she was 'healed.' Cooper, 30, is now a media titan after starting her podcasting career at Barstool Sports and moving on to Spotify with a three-year, $60 million deal in 2021. Feldman coached the BU Terriers since 1995, when the school first adopted women's soccer as a varsity sport, until 2022. Over that time, she guided the Terriers to 14 NCAA Tournament appearances, 13 conference titles and was twice named NSCAA Coach of the Year.
