One in nine Welsh residents admit to not reporting violent crime
One in nine Cardiff residents admit to witnessing a violent crime and not reporting it. This statistic was gathered by Get Licensed, a security firm, which conducted a survey to explore crime reporting trends and shoplifting habits. The survey revealed that Cardiff had the highest percentage of residents failing to report violent crime in the UK. In contrast, London, Edinburgh, and Southampton each recorded 7 per cent of residents who admitted they wouldn't report violent crime. The survey also highlighted a trend across the UK: people aged 25-34 are the least likely to report a violent crime if they witness one. Further findings from the survey showed that almost a quarter (23 per cent) of Britons have witnessed minor crimes, such as shoplifting, and chose not to report them. In addition, 12 per cent of those who have never witnessed a crime said they would ignore it if they did. The survey provides a detailed overview of crime reporting trends and shoplifting habits across the UK.

Woman pleads guilty to assault for spitting on top DC prosecutor during interview
WASHINGTON (AP) — A woman who spit on the top federal prosecutor for the nation's capital during a videotaped interview pleaded guilty on Thursday to assault charges. Emily Gabriella Sommer, 32, of Washington, D.C., is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 10 for assaulting then-acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin Jr. and two law-enforcement officers who arrested her several days after she spit on Martin. Sommer pleaded guilty to three counts of assaulting public officials, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office. A trial for Sommer had been scheduled to start next Monday. Instead, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb accepted Sommer's guilty plea and will sentence her. On May 8, a Newsmax reporter was interviewing Martin on a sidewalk outside his office when Sommer approached him. 'Are you Ed Martin? You are Ed Martin,' Sommer said before lunging at him and spitting on his left shoulder, according to prosecutors. As she walked away, Sommer swore at Martin and called him 'a disgusting man.' 'My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served,' she said. Sommer later took credit for the spitting incident in a message replying to a social media post by Martin. The encounter occurred on the same day that President Donald Trump pulled Martin's nomination to remain U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Martin faced bipartisan opposition in the Senate after a turbulent stint in the nation's largest U.S. Attorney's office. A key Republican senator said he could not support Martin for the job due to his support for rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Martin roiled the office with a series of unorthodox moves, such as firing and demoting subordinates who worked on politically sensitive cases. Trump replaced Martin with former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, who was confirmed by the Senate on Aug. 2. When U.S. Marshals Service deputies went to arrest Sommer at her apartment on May 22, she spit in a deputy's face and kicked him, prosecutors said. 'How is that spit? Taste good? I was just getting over a cold sore. I hope I gave you herpes,' Sommer told the deputy, according to prosecutors. Sommer also kicked a second deputy during her arrest and told another deputy, 'I would put a bullet in you if I had it. I would put a bullet in every one of you right now,' prosecutors said. During her initial court appearance in May, Sommer repeatedly disrupted the hearing with outbursts. Deputies picked her up and carried her out of the courtroom after one of her interruptions prompted a magistrate to suspend the hearing. Sommer later apologized to the magistrate for her courtroom conduct.
