Sha'Carri Richardson addresses domestic violence arrest and apologizes to Christian Coleman
Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson addressed her recent domestic violence arrest in a video on social media and issued an apology to her boyfriend Christian Coleman. Richardson posted a video on her Instagram account Monday night in which she said she put herself in a 'compromised situation.' She issued a written apology to Coleman on Tuesday morning. 'I love him & to him I can't apologize enough," the reigning 100-meter world champion wrote in all capital letters on Instagram, adding that her apology 'should be just as loud' as her 'actions.' 'To Christian I love you & I am so sorry," she wrote. Richardson was arrested July 27 on a fourth-degree domestic violence offense for allegedly assaulting Coleman at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. She was booked into South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, for more than 18 hours. Her arrest was days before she ran the 100 meters at the U.S. championships in Eugene, Oregon. In the video, Richardson said she's practicing 'self-reflection' and refuses 'to run away but face everything that comes to me head on.' According to the police report, an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, Coleman, the 2019 world 100-meter champion. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. Later in the report, it said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, with the TSA indicating it may have been headphones. The officer said in the report: "I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.' A message was left with Coleman from The Associated Press. Richardson wrote that Coleman 'came into my life & gave me more than a relationship but a greater understanding of unconditional love from what I've experienced in my past.' She won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She also helped the 4x100 relay to an Olympic gold. She didn't compete during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 following a positive marijuana test at the U.S. Olympic trials. ___ AP Summer Olympics:

Mexico and Brazil Rebut Trump's Claims About Violence in Their Cities
The leaders of two of Latin America's biggest capitals on Tuesday responded with indignation to President Trump's assertions that their cities were plagued by violent crime, disputing his remarks as he announced a federal takeover of the local police in Washington, D.C. As he addressed the takeover and a deployment of the National Guard, Mr. Trump compared crime in Washington to the levels of violence in cities that he called 'some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on earth.' (Violent crime in Washington hit a 30-year low last year.) Mr. Trump later said that Washington's rate of violent crime was higher than in capitals of Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru and Iraq. 'Do you want to live in places like that?' he asked reporters. 'I don't think so.' Early on Tuesday, leaders in Mexico and Brazil defended their cities, calling Mr. Trump misinformed — and, in the case of Mexico's president, agreeing that her capital had a lower murder rate than Washington's. 'That is true,' President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, a former Mexico City mayor, told reporters. 'What we don't agree with is when he said it was the most insecure city in Latin America, because it's not.' The city's current mayor, Clara Brugada, went further, saying that Mr. Trump's notion of Mexico City was all wrong. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Judge tosses convictions in 2002 killing of NBA star Chris Paul's grandfather
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A North Carolina trial judge has thrown out the convictions of four men in the 2002 death of basketball star Chris Paul's grandfather. Now, state attorneys are considering their next moves, including an appeal. Superior Court Judge Robert Broadie vacated and dismissed their convictions late last week following a January hearing in Forsyth County. Nathaniel Arnold Cauthen, Rayshawn Denard Banner, Christopher Levon Bryant and Jermal Matthew Tolliver had been found guilty in trials in 2004 or 2005 for the killing of Nathaniel Jones. The four were all 14 or 15 years old when they and another teen were arrested. Jones, 61, died from a heart attack outside his Winston-Salem home after being tied up, beaten and robbed. A three-judge panel previously had denied the defendants' innocence claims after testimony in a 2022 hearing. But Broadie's order, filed Friday, cited recanted testimony from a key witness, poor legal representation and questionable actions by police, the Winston-Salem Journal reported . DNA profiles also 'further serve to corroborate Defendants' assertions that their confessions were false' and that they 'were not present at the scene of the crime,' the judge wrote. Paul, Jones' grandson, was a standout high school basketball player at the time of the assault and had committed to play at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem. Paul, now 40, is a 12-time NBA All-Star who now plays for the Los Angeles Clippers . Attorney General Jeff Jackson's office, whose lawyers defend criminal cases on appeal, asked the state Court of Appeals on Monday to halt enforcement of Broadie's order 'while we review it and consider next steps,' spokesperson Nazneen Ahmed said. Cauthen and his brother, Banner, were convicted of first-degree murder and are serving life sentences. Bryant, Tolliver and Dorrell Brayboy were convicted of second-degree murder and were released after serving prison time. Brayboy was fatally stabbed outside a Winston-Salem supermarket in 2019. Monday's petition by a state attorney said that, without action, Cauthen and Banner 'will be released back into the community without this Court having an opportunity to hear and determine the State's issues on appeal.' Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O'Neill criticized Broadie's ruling, in particular his dismissals of the cases 'with prejudice,' which could make them harder to appeal. 'I have never seen that happen before in a court of law,' O'Neill said in a statement to the newspaper. 'Most judges welcome scrutiny and appellate review of their decisions.' Christine Mumma, the lawyer for Banner and Cauthen, pushed back on criticism of the judge's ruling. 'If the General Assembly didn't want judges to have the authority to dismiss with prejudice, they wouldn't have given judges that authority,' Mumma wrote in an email. 'They also wouldn't have passed statutes recognizing if charges are dismissed with prejudice, there's no right of appeal.' Mumma is the executive director of the North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence, a nonprofit that helps investigate and litigate claims of innocence.
