Lamborghini driver gets a taste of karma after brainless move on Sydney's iconic Bronte to Coogee walk
A white Lamborghini came to a dramatic end on Sydney 's iconic Bronte-to-Coogee walk after it flew off the road at the notorious Bronte bend and slammed into a fence - just metres from shocked pedestrians. The high-end vehicle, veered off Tamarama Marine Drive around 4.30pm on Tuesday, mounting the kerb and crashing through the barrier on the edge of the packed coastal path. Emergency services rushed to the scene, and miraculously, no one was injured. The driver, a 22-year-old man, returned a negative result to both roadside breath and drug tests but was issued a traffic infringement notice for negligent driving following police inquiries. 'Not the kind of street art we like to see on the Bronte bend,' one local page joked, sharing a picture of the mangled Lamborghini. Many residents weren't surprised. 'This guy's always hooning up and down, exhaust screaming,' said one commenter. 'Honestly, good outcome no one was hurt.' 'Karma,' another said.

Wealthy student charged with killing four sorority sisters hires top lawyer
The young BMW driver accused of mowing down and killing four sorority sisters in a horrific Malibu car crash pleaded not guilty as he appeared in court with his new hot-shot defense attorney Wednesday. Fraser Bohm, 23, was arraigned on murder and vehicular manslaughter charges in connection with the October 2023 deaths of Pepperdine University students Asha Weir, Peyton Stewart, Deslyn Williams, all 21, and 20-year-old Niamh Rolston. Dressed in a dark gray suit and tie, he did not speak as his new lawyer, Alan Jackson, entered the not-guilty pleas to four counts each of charge on his behalf at a courthouse in Van Nuys, California. The hearing lasted only a few minutes, during which Judge Thomas Rubinson granted the defense's request for a postponement to September 5. Wednesday's arraignment follows a delay granted last month, when newly-hired Jackson, who represented recently-acquitted murder suspect Karen Read, requested a continuance. Outside the courtroom, Jackson explained that he plans to raise 'several issues' at the next hearing, including filing a motion to reduce Bohm's $4million bail package that was granted after his arrest in 2023. Asked when he expects Bohm's jury trial to start, the renowned lawyer told Daily Mail: 'The prosecution has a head start on us and we have a lot of work to do to catch up. So I can't see trial starting before the end of 2025.' The prominent criminal defense attorney, who replaces Bohm's original lawyer Michael Kraut, is a former LA County Assistant District Attorney who prosecuted several high-profile cases, including the murder conviction of music producer Phil Spector. Since going into private practice, he's made a name for himself as a top defense attorney. Most recently, he successfully got Karen Read acquitted of murder charges in the widely-covered trial related to the death of her Boston Police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe. All four of the young women killed in the Malibu crash were seniors at Pepperdine's Seaver College of Liberal Arts where they were members of the Alpha Phi Sorority. They were due to graduate with the class of 2024 and later were awarded their Pepperdine degrees posthumously. They died when Bohm – driving allegedly at 104mph – crashed into three parked vehicles in the parking lane next to where the girls were walking after getting out of a car on Pacific Coast Highway where the speed limit is 45mph. 'They were killed because of the driving of the defendant,' Deputy District Attorney Nathan Bartos told an April preliminary hearing where Bohm was ordered to stand trial. Bartos pointed out that data retrieved from the 'black box' in the BMW showed that the vehicle accelerated from 93mph to 104mph just two and a half seconds before the crash. 'He consciously decided to get that vehicle up to the speed of 104 miles an hour,' the prosecutor added. 'And he lost control of his vehicle….. This was not an accident.' Bohm – who lives in Malibu – has maintained that the deadly crash was an accident that happened when 'some guy' in a white car swerved into his lane, hitting his driver's side mirror, causing him to slam into the three parked cars. The deadly crash sparked outrage from Malibu residents who have for years been calling for safety improvements to this stretch of PCH between Carbon Canyon and Las Flores Canyon where 53 deaths and 92 serious injuries between 2013 and 2023 earned it the nickname 'Dead Man's Curve.' On the one-year anniversary of the girls' deaths, Malibu officials met to discuss ways to improve safety and creating a California Highway Patrol Task Force to crack down on speeders and traffic offenders on the famous coastal highway. And recently, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a new bill authorizing the installation of speed cameras on the 21-mile strip all the way through the ritzy, celebrity-filled enclave.

Police officer under criminal investigation over alleged leak of CCTV footage from Manchester Airport brawl
A COP is under criminal investigation for allegedly leaking footage of the Manchester Airport fracas. The Manchester Evening News published a video last July of a police officer kicking and stamping on a young man as he lay on the ground. 3 3 3 It sparked protests in the city. But later footage revealed the wider context that Mohammed Fahir Amaaz — the man on the ground — had earlier left PC Lydia Ward with a broken, bloodied nose. Amaaz, 20, was convicted last week of assault. The convicted thug and his brother, Muhammad Ahmed, 26, face a retrial next year over an allegation they assaulted PC Zachary Marsden - the officer seen to kick and stamp. Police watchdog the IOPC has now begun a criminal probe into the CCTV video's source. The unnamed cop has been told they may be held liable for how they obtained data, for misconduct and for perverting the course of justice. In an opinion piece on Wednesday, MEN editor Sarah Lester said the footage it published " provided critical context" and pointed out that the protests "stopped overnight". She wrote: "After a careful process of verification and intense internal debate, we published it. "We did so because we believed, and still believe, that in a democracy, the public deserves the full picture. "Many senior figures in Manchester, including within the police, told us they were relieved, even grateful, that we had published it. "But we do ask: what public interest is being served by pursuing this individual? "How much taxpayer money is being spent on this - while the justice system groans under the weight of backlogs and delays? "What message does this send to others who might be considering speaking up? This is a bad decision."
