Fond du Lac woman attacked with knife, suspect arrested following high-risk traffic stop
According to a release from the Fond du Lac Police Department, officers responded at 8:14 p.m. to a 9-1-1 call from a 39-year-old woman claiming to be attacked with a knife inside an apartment on 92 Forest Avenue.

Police on the scene found the woman in the apartment complex parking lot with multiple, serious lacerations to both hands and additional injuries to her chest, back, and upper legs.
While she was taken by the Fond du Lac Fire Rescue to a local hospital, authorities issued a shelter-in-place order while evacuating neighbors as initial reports indicated the suspect, a 43-year-old Fond du Lac man, was still inside the apartment.
Due to the seriousness of the situation, the FDLPD SWAT and Crisis Negotiations teams were called in with additional support from the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office SWAT team. Both agencies also had armored rescue vehicles, K9 units, and Technology Response Groups containing drone and robot resources deployed.

Sean Combs's Lawyers Ask Judge to Vacate Jury's Verdict or Retry Him
Lawyers for Sean Combs on Wednesday asked a judge to vacate a jury's verdict that convicted him on two prostitution-related charges or grant him a new trial limited to evidence connected to those counts. At the conclusion of an eight-week federal trial in Manhattan earlier this month, Mr. Combs was acquitted of the two most serious charges against him, sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, which focused on accusations that he had coerced two long-term girlfriends into drug-fueled sexual encounters with hired male escorts. But the jury found Mr. Combs, known as Puff Daddy or Diddy, guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, a lesser charge — but still one that carries a maximum of 10 years in prison for each conviction. In a 62-page motion filed late on Wednesday, the music mogul's lawyers argued that the jury's conviction of Mr. Combs under the federal Mann Act — which bars interstate commerce related to prostitution — should be overturned. 'To our knowledge,' his lawyers wrote, 'Mr. Combs is the only person ever convicted of violating the statute for conduct anything like' what was alleged in the case. Mr. Combs's lawyers have argued strenuously throughout the case, and in the recent filing, that the sexual encounters at issue — referred to as 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights' — were consensual and that Mr. Combs had no financial motive. The defense also argued that the encounters, which Mr. Combs often filmed, amounted to producing 'amateur pornography,' which it said is protected by the First Amendment. 'Mr. Combs, at most, paid to engage in voyeurism as part of a 'swingers' lifestyle,' said the filing, which was signed by Alexandra Shapiro, an appellate lawyer who is part of the Combs defense team. 'That does not constitute 'prostitution' under a properly limited definition of the statutory term.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Legal Watchdog Files Bar Complaints Against Career Justice Dept. Lawyers
A legal watchdog group accused three career Justice Department lawyers of professional misconduct on Thursday, saying they had made false statements to a federal judge in a high-profile case challenging the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The accusations by the group, the Legal Accountability Center, were formally filed with the grievance committees of bar associations in Washington and other cities where the lawyers lived or practiced. The move represented a rare attempt to seek professional sanctions against rank-and-file department lawyers who have appeared in court on behalf of the federal government. 'The rule of law is under direct assault right now, and its greatest threat comes when those within the legal system fail to do their duties and stand up against the attack,' said Michael Teter, the executive director of the group. 'The message that needs to be heard by all attorneys representing the government is that even though the Trump administration isn't interested in following the rules, we are watching.' The bar complaints against the three lawyers — Eric J. Hamilton, Brad P. Rosenberg and Liam C. Holland — came at an extraordinary moment of tension between the Justice Department and many of the federal judges who have been hearing challenges to President Trump's policies. Judges across the country have repeatedly called out department lawyers for violating their orders and even for destroying the bonds of trust that the government has traditionally been afforded when its representatives appear in court. The administration and its allies have often responded with lacerating verbal attacks, including threats of impeachment. Just this week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on social media that the department had filed its own misconduct complaint against Judge James E. Boasberg, the chief judge of Federal District Court in Washington who has handled several prominent cases involving Mr. Trump. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
