Dictator's alleged love child gets taste of the real world after explosive drunken meltdown on flight
An Australian woman who claims she is the daughter of late Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos admitted to drinking from a bottle of alcohol smuggled on board a Jetstar flight before launching into an expletive-laden tirade at cabin crew, according to court documents.
Analisa Josefa Corr, 54, and her husband James Alexander Corr, 46, appeared in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on Monday where they were sentenced over their actions on-board a Hobart-to-Sydney flight which ended with them being escorted off the plane by Australian Federal Police officers late last year.
The Bali-based couple admitted to swigging from bottles of whiskey and vodka which they had carried on board the Dec. 28 flight, before an agitated Analisa told a crew member: 'Get your f—king face off me.''

The couple also made unfounded allegations about flight staff consuming drugs.
Analisa's lawyer Jasmina Ceic told the court on Monday that her client only had one sip from a vodka bottle, and at the time she was on painkillers for broken ribs.
According to court documents tendered to the court, when the couple took their seat in row 13, Analisa began drinking from a 3.3 ounce whiskey bottle he had brought on board and asked the passenger sitting next to him: 'Are you going to tell on me if I drink it?'
Mid-flight, the same female passenger went to the bathroom but was interrupted by Analisa banging on the door.

When she exited Analisa held her by both shoulders and hugged her.
Analisa told the woman: 'I know what you are doing in there' before the passenger assured her she was just going to the toilet.
She then accused a flight staff member of doing drugs on-board.
'You guys are Jetstar staff, you can't be doing drugs on a flight,' Analisa said according to a statement of facts tendered to the court.
'It's a major safety risk. You're making me feel scared.'
James was seen drinking from his bottle and was told by airline staff to put it away.
The couple handed over two bottles of alcohol to the staff before Analisa became agitated.
When asked by the cabin crew manager if she had any more alcohol, she said: 'Oh yeah, I have plenty in my bag.'
The crew member once again asked her to not drink from her own bottle and to put it away.
According to the court documents, Analisa responded: 'Get your f—king face off me, don't talk to me!'
James then chimed in with unfounded allegations that crew members were doing drugs, saying: 'Your crew are doing drugs.'
There was no suggestions of wrongdoing on the part of any crew member and none were charged with any offense.
Analisa was heard saying of the crew manager: 'She is a f—king bitch, I am never flying to f—king Hobart again, get me off this fucking plane.'
After the plane landed, James, an ex-Special Forces commando, made an online report to the AFP again making allegations about staff doing cocaine.
AFP officers met the plane when it landed and both were escorted off the flight and arrested.
In a letter of apology to the court, James said he was 'embarrassed' over the incident.
'I am writing to express my sincere apologies to the court, the Australian Federal Police and all those affected by my actions on the 28th of December, 2024, during the flight from Hobart to Sydney,' he said in the letter of apology.
In January, the couple pleaded not guilty to all charges.
But in court on Monday, Analisa pleaded guilty to one count of consuming alcohol not provided by cabin crew and behaving in an offensive or disorderly manner affecting safety.
Prosecutors withdrew one count of assault and one count of not complying with the cabin crew's safety instructions.
James pleaded guilty to consuming alcohol not provided by crew, while another charge of not complying with the cabin crew's safety instructions was withdrawn.
Their lawyers asked magistrate Rosheehan O'Meagher not to record a conviction because it would affect their ability to travel internationally for work.
O'Meagher described their actions as out of character and noted they were remorseful.
'On the flip side to that, this is a serious matter, it is a fairly prevalent offense. Because people become intoxicated on planes, it causes problems, it causes havoc,' she said.
O'Meagher also told the couple that she had to 'send a message to the community.'
Both were convicted and Analisa was fined $517 and James was fined $259.
Outside court on Monday, Ceic said both would be lodging an appeal.

Multiple journalists injured by police nonlethal rounds while covering LA protests
Multiple journalists injured by police nonlethal rounds while covering LA protests Show Caption Hide Caption Australian journalist shot with a rubber bullet in Los Angeles Australian journalist from 9News, Lauren Tomasi, was shot with a rubber bullet while reporting from the protests in Los Angeles. Multiple members of the media have been injured by nonlethal rounds fired by law enforcement while covering dayslong protests over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Los Angeles, prompting the Committee to Protect Journalists to sound an alarm about the intimidation of reporters. Authorities braced for a fifth day of demonstrations on June 10, with President Donald Trump ordering the National Guard and members of the U.S. Marine Corps in a show of force against unrest. The administration's stepping in has also ignited a clash between local leaders, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and the federal government. As officers use force against protesters, some journalists reporting on the melee have been caught by nonlethal rubber rounds and other projectiles. Adam Rose, the secretary of the Los Angeles Press Club, has documented more than 30 incidents of reporters, photographers and other media professionals impacted by police actions that range from searching a journalist's bag to firing tear gas or rubber bullets at them. In one viral video, an officer appears to aim and take fire at Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi, who yelped in pain when she was hit in the leg. More: Australian journalist shot with nonlethal bullet while reporting on LA protests The committee, which advocates for press freedom and documents cases of journalists who are killed, imprisoned or missing, said it was "greatly concerned" by the reports of officers' shooting nonlethal rounds at reporters on the ground. "Any attempt to discourage or silence media coverage by intimidating or injuring journalists should not be tolerated,' Katherine Jacobsen, program coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean, said in a statement. 'It is incumbent upon authorities to respect the media's role of documenting issues of public interest.' The Los Angeles Police Department and the California Highway Patrol didn't immediately respond to a USA TODAY inquiry on the injured journalists. The department told the Committee to Protect Journalists it will investigate the incidents. LA protest updates: Newsom calls Trump's Marine deployment a 'blatant abuse of power' Journalists injured by rubber bullets, other nonlethal rounds Tomasi, the Australian reporter, was sore after being hit by the rubber bullet but otherwise unharmed, her employer Australia's 9News said. British freelance photographer Nick Stern had to undergo emergency surgery after also being hit in the leg with a nonlethal round, he told the BBC. Stern said he was covering the protests in Los Angeles on June 8 when he was hit by a 3-inch "plastic bullet," BBC reported. He said he was wearing his press credentials and wearing a big camera around his neck. "There was something hard sticking out of the back of my leg and my leg was getting wet from blood," he told the outlet. Stern told BBC protesters helped carry him away from the "danger area" and a medic applied a tourniquet. "I intend, as soon as I am well enough, to get back out there," he told BBC. "This is too important and it needs documenting." A New York Post photographer was also hit with a rubber bullet in the head, the outlet reported. Toby Canham was standing just off the 101 freeway in Los Angeles the evening of June 8 "when a California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer suddenly turned his weapon toward him and fired from about 100 yards away," the Post reported. He went to the hospital for whiplash and neck pain and had a bruise on his forehead. 'It's a real shame. I completely understand being in the position where you could get injured, but at the same time, there was no justification for even aiming the rifle at me and pulling the trigger, so I'm a bit pissed off about that, to be honest,' Canham said. Officers also shot Ryanne Mena, a reporter with the Southern California News Group, with pepper ball bullets, which contain a chemical akin to pepper spray, she said in a post on social media. Police briefly detained CNN correspondent Jason Carroll while he was on the air covering protests on June 9. In-studio anchors briefly lost contact with Carroll, who could be seen being led away by LAPD officers with hands behind his back. An officer can be heard telling Carroll: "We're letting you go. You can't come back. If you come back, you will be arrested." "You take a lot of risks as press. This is low on that scale of risks, but it is something that I wasn't expecting, simply because we've been out here all day," Carroll said. "I've covered any number of protests, and normally the officers realize that the press is there doing a job." What's happening in LA protests Protests began on June 6 in response to the Trump administration's crackdown with immigration raids in Southern California. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is carrying out a directive from Trump to find immigrants living in the United States without legal status. Protests have sprung up against the sweeps the agency is carrying out in various neighborhoods. The protests began largely peacefully after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sweeps near Los Angeles resulted in more than 40 arrests, but flared up when heavily armed, masked agents raided Los Angeles businesses. For several days, the demonstrations have grown and turned chaotic and sometimes violent, with police and protesters clashing in the streets. A tense standoff unfolded between the administration and California authorities, who say the use of the National Guard and U.S. Marines is an unlawful subversion of Newsom's authority. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called Trump's escalation of military presence a "deliberate attempt to create disorder and chaos in our city." On Monday, LAPD said protesters threw objects at officers near the federal courthouse, prompting use of gas canisters and other munitions. Bass said over 100 people were arrested Monday night, blaming "fringe groups" for violence. Contributing: Thao Nguyen, John Bacon, Greta Cross and Taijuan Moorman, USA TODAY

She Slipped Cyanide into Her Friend's Iced Coffee, Killing Her in Minutes: Here's What She Said Recently on TV
Jessica Wongso, dubbed the "Iced Coffee Killer" speaks out in new interview with Australian television Wongso was convicted of premeditated murder in the 2016 death of her 27-year-old friend Mirna Salihin Wongso has maintained her innocenceJessica Wongso, who was found guilty of dosing her friend's iced coffee with cyanide and has since been released from an Indonesian prison, recently spoke to Australian television about her alleged crime. Wongso, dubbed the 'Iced Coffee Killer,' was convicted of the premeditated murder of her 27-year-old friend Mirna Salihin in 2018. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison but was released in 2024 after eight years behind bars, ABC Australia reported. At a press conference after her prison release, Wongso, who has maintained her innocence, told reporters that she had "forgiven everyone who wronged" her, according to ABC Australia. Wongso was accused of slipping cyanide into the friend's iced Vietnamese coffee at an upscale café in Jan. 2016 in Jakarta, Indonesia, per the New York Times. 'This deed was vile and sadistic, committed against her own friend,' said the chief judge, according to the Times. Video footage allegedly showed Wongso arriving first at the café, ordering drinks for Salihin — who she met at a design college in Sydney — and another friend before placing shopping bags on the table to allegedly obstruct the view of closed-circuit television footage, the Times reported. Soon after, Salihin arrived, took a sip of the coffee and then immediately collapsed, according to the Times. She was taken to the hospital where she soon died. During trial, prosecutors argued that Wongso killed Salihin because Salihin had suggested she should break up with a former boyfriend and was jealous that Salihin recently got married, according to the Times. PEOPLE' In an interview on 7News Spotlight, Wongso denied that she was close friends with Salihin. "We weren't close at all,' she told journalist Liam Bartlett. 'We came from the same country. We weren't best friends or anything. After graduation she went back to Indonesia for good and I stayed in Australia." Asked by Bartlett why she placed the three bags on the table, Wongso responded: 'Oh, it's just me being me,' she said. 'Like I just put it there and it's like shuffle it and play with it. And it's like me just, you know, being bored, it really doesn't mean anything at all. Like if I have to be honest with you.' About the moment when Salihin took a sip, Wongso said: 'I think she just took a sip and after that she was saying something like, it tastes really weird and stuff, and after that she got really sick. And that's it. That's pretty much all I remember." When asked about her friend's death by cyanide, Wongso responded, that "There's a lot of things that I'm not allowed to say, like in public, including stating things like I didn't do what people think that I did." 'But if you didn't do it, somebody else did. Right?,' asked Bartlett. 'Maybe. I could only say, maybe,' she replied. As a condition of parole, Wongso is required to stay in Jakarta until 2032, per ABC Australia. Read the original article on People

8 people set on fire in ‘targeted act of violence' on Colorado mall
Eight people marching in support of Israeli hostages held in Gaza were burned Sunday by a man wielding what authorities called a 'makeshift flamethrower' and an incendiary device. The attack happened at 1:26 p.m. on Boulder's Pearl Street Mall, during a weekly walk organized by the city's chapter of Run for Their Lives, which calls for the release of hostages held by the terrorist group Hamas. Mark Michalek, special agent in charge of the FBI's Denver field office, characterized the incident as a 'targeted act of violence' and said in a Sunday evening news briefing that it's under investigation as terrorism, echoing a statement from FBI Director Kash Patel earlier in the day. Police arrested Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, of El Paso County, after bystanders pointed him out to police officers outside the Boulder County Courthouse, Michalek said. Soliman used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd gathered outside the courthouse to harm them, Michalek said, adding that the suspect yelled 'Free Palestine' during the attack. Videos showed people rushing to pour water on one victim while others lay collapsed nearby. 'It's almost like it was a gun of fire,' said Lynn Segal, who witnessed the attack. 'It's like a line of fire.' Police and the FBI initially said six people were injured in the attack, but law enforcement officials increased that tally to eight late Sunday night. The victims include four women and four men between the ages of 52 and 88, according to Boulder police and the FBI. Authorities initially said four people were taken to the Boulder Community Health hospital, and two others were airlifted to UCHealth University of Colorado's burn unit in Aurora with more severe injuries. Police arrested a shirtless man at the scene, who was shown in videos posted to social media holding glass bottles and shouting 'Free Palestine' and calling to 'end Zionists.' Asked about Soliman's affiliations with any other groups, Boulder police Chief Stephen Redfearn said the investigation – which includes the FBI – was ongoing, though he said authorities were almost certain that the suspect acted alone. Soliman was taken to a local hospital to be medically evaluated, then was booked into the Boulder County Jail on 'multiple charges.' The jail's booking log does not show what charges Soliman faces, and police did not say. Few details were available about Soliman late Sunday night. He does not appear to have any presence on social media — an Egypt-based fashion influencer with the same name does not match the person caught on video by witnesses — and he does not have a criminal record in Colorado, court records show. A spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement could not be reached for comment on Soliman's immigration status. FBI Denver officials announced on social media Sunday night that agents were in El Paso County 'conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity' that was related to the investigation. 'Boulder is not immune to tragedy, sadly,' Redfearn said. 'I know a lot of people are scared right now, a lot of people are upset and questioning how this happened and why. All I know (is) Boulder has recovered before from acts of violence, and we will again recover.' Johanna Schmidt, whose parents regularly participated in the Boulder walks held by the organization, said she was on the way to the event with her children when her mother called and told her that someone had thrown a Molotov cocktail at the group and that Schmidt's father had been burned. Molotov cocktails are typically bottles filled with gasoline or alcohol that are then ignited and thrown. Schmidt said the scene was 'chaotic,' 'absolutely horrific and shocking.' Her father sustained a second-degree burn and was released from the hospital Sunday evening. Videos posted to social media show a woman lying on the ground while people pour water on her, as smoke and screams erupt from the area. Another video shows the shirtless man holding the bottles and shouting. In the background, bystanders can be seen huddled over someone on the ground. 'He's right there, he's throwing Molotov cocktails right there,' one person can be heard saying to police in one video. Police then handcuffed the man near the fountain in front of Boulder's courthouse. Later, a Reddit user posted photos and videos of a woman with a burned leg sitting on the lawn with paramedics, another person being loaded onto a stretcher, and people gathered in front of the building, now blocked with crime tape. In a statement, Run for Their Lives said its 'greatest concern at this moment is the well-being of the members of our group, most especially those who have been hospitalized.' 'We are dedicated to our mission that this is an international humanitarian crisis and that no one should ever be taken hostage and kept underground in tunnels without basic humanitarian needs and aid,' the group wrote. 'Broader wave of hate' In a statement Sunday, Gov. Jared Polis, who lives in Boulder, called the attack a 'heinous act of terror.' National Jewish organizations condemned the attack and linked it to other recent violence that's unfolded in the United States in response to the war in Gaza, including the killing of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington, D.C., and the fire that tore through the residence of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish. World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder said in a statement that the Boulder attack was part of a 'broader wave of hate.' 'It is not just the Jewish community that suffers,' Lauder wrote. 'This violence tears at the very fabric of our societies. We call on law enforcement and government leaders — at every level, in every state, in every country — to act decisively.' Israel's campaign in Gaza began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting about 250 others. The group still holds 58 hostages — which Sunday's walk was meant to protest. Around a third of the hostages are believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israel's military campaign has killed over 54,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The offensive has destroyed vast areas, displaced around 90% of the population and left people almost completely reliant on international aid. Horrified and enraged Xale Chartier was heading to a downtown parking structure when he saw first responders lining 13th Street on Sunday afternoon. His first thought was that there was some kind of mass-casualty incident. By the time Chartier got to the courthouse, a few people were still being treated by paramedics and he could see an oily residue on the ground, along with flags and shoes scattered nearby, he said. 'It was a very grim and unsettling scene,' Chartier said. 'I grew up in Boulder and I've never experienced anything quite like that.' Alexandra Posnack, 19, was at her Boulder home about five minutes away from Pearl Street when friends at the scene started texting her that someone had thrown a Molotov cocktail at the group holding the weekly demonstration calling for the release of Israeli hostages. 'I'm horrified and I'm also enraged, and I will be back here next week to protest with my big-ass Israeli flag,' she said. Brandon Hoover, 28, said the attack doesn't seem real. He and his girlfriend were walking down Pearl Street when suddenly there were flames and 'the smell of flesh,' he said. 'I thought, 'Holy crap, that could have been any one of us on Pearl Street,'' Hoover said. '…Once you see something that traumatic, it's going to stick with you.' Hours later, the scene was still being swept by hazmat, canine and bomb disposal teams, Redfearn, the Boulder police chief, said. Parts of Pearl Street, including the 1200 through 1500 blocks, had been evacuated. The order remained in effect along the Pearl Street corridor from Broadway to 15th Street and from Lawry Lane to Spruce Street as of 8:11 p.m. That section of the mall remained closed to the public as police cleared the area and investigated a 'vehicle of interest,' Redfearn said. Boulder resident Henry Bonn-Elchones, 18, was downtown getting lunch with friends when he saw smoke and burn marks and an Israeli flag on the ground by the courthouse. He never heard an explosion. But he said first responders and law enforcement swarmed the area and later watched as two older women were loaded into ambulances. 'Hate-filled acts' Local political leaders condemned the attack on Sunday. 'Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable,' Polis said in a statement on social media. 'While details emerge, the state works with local and federal law enforcement to support this investigation.' U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse, who represents Boulder in Congress, called for Americans to stop the spread of antisemitism. 'Tonight, as many prepare to mark the Shavuot holiday, our Jewish community has been subjected to yet another brutal and horrific act of violence,' said the congressman, whose district includes Boulder. 'We stand with the Jewish community — today and always — and will be united in supporting the victims and their families, and to redoubling our efforts to stop antisemitism.' Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser wrote in a statement that the attack appears to be a hate crime and that he had offered his office's support to Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty. 'People may have differing views about world events and the Israeli-Hamas conflict, but violence is never the answer to settling differences,' he wrote. '… We all have the right to peaceably assemble and the freedom to speak our views. But these violent acts — which are becoming more frequent, brazen, and closer to home — must stop and those who commit these horrific acts must be fully held to account.' ___ © 2025 MediaNews Group, Inc.
