Man charged with cyberstalking family member of slain UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson
A New York man has been charged with cyberstalking a family member of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly leaving threatening voicemails that expressed glee about the insurance executive's killing, federal prosecutors said Wednesday. Shane Daley, 40, is accused of placing multiple calls to Thompson's family member after the shooting, justifying the killing and saying that the person deserved to die in a similar manner, according to a criminal complaint. Daley, of Galway, New York, a small town north of Albany, was arrested and had an initial court appearance Wednesday. He was released with GPS monitoring and is scheduled back in court Thursday afternoon, a spokesperson for the U.S. attorney's office in Albany said. Daley's attorney, Samuel Breslin, said they are reviewing the allegations and evidence. In a statement, Acting United States Attorney John A. Sarcone said that 'Brian Thompson was gunned down in midtown Manhattan. Daley, as alleged, gleefully welcomed this tragedy and did all that he could to increase the Thompson family's pain and suffering.' Thompson was fatally shot outside a hotel in New York City in December by a man who was angered over what he viewed as corporate greed, according to prosecutors. The suspect, Luigi Mangione, has pleaded not guilty. The killing of Thompson, who led one of the biggest health insurers in the U.S., resulted in a vast outpouring of public frustration with the country's health care system. Many Americans reacted to the shooting by relaying personal stories about difficult experiences with insurance companies. Mangione himself has been lionized as a sort of vigilante hero by those who are critical of the insurance industry.

Review: ‘Night Always Comes,' Whether You Have a Home or Not
Economic insecurity suffuses just about every frame of this intense, downbeat drama about a woman facing a 24-hour deadline to eviction. In 'Night Always Comes,' the soon-to-be-lost home is a run-down split level in a dilapidated neighborhood in the Pacific Northwest where Lynette (Vanessa Kirby) lives with her unstable and spectacularly irresponsible mother, Doreen (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and her adult brother, Kenny (Zack Gottsagen), who has Down syndrome. Directed by Benjamin Caron, this adaptation of Willy Vlautin's 2021 novel 'The Night Always Comes,' follows Lynette, a bartender with a sideline as a sex worker, in her increasingly desperate and irrational attempts to raise $25,000. She looks up a rich client, played by Randall Park, who laughs in her face when she mentions the amount she needs. They hit a hotel room anyway. 'Here's the 500, and I'm going to double it as a parting gift,' he says smarmily when the assignation is over. (The cherry on top? When we see him leaving the hotel, telling his wife on the phone, 'Say good night to the kids.') Lynette asks for a loan from Gloria (Julia Fox), a tetchy friend also in the sex business. And she enlists Stephan James while cruising the streets looking for a safecracker. A stash of stolen cocaine also comes into play. It seems that each move Lynette makes not only doesn't get her closer to her goal; it puts her in more immediate proximity to physical danger. Kirby convincingly registers a combination of determination and helplessness throughout. She also demonstrates excellent aim when throwing heavy objects at the heads of menacing miscreants as the movie resolves into a relatively deft combination of message picture and suspense thriller. Night Always ComesRated R for themes, language and drug content. Running time: 1 hour 48 minutes. Watch on Netflix.
