Cassation Court upholds over 6-year sentence in teen's killing by stray bullet
AMMAN — The Court of Cassation has upheld a March 2024 Criminal Court ruling sentencing a man to over six years in prison after convicting him of killing a teenage boy while celebrating a wedding in Amman in March 2022. The court first declared the defendant guilty of shooting live ammunition to celebrate a wedding, which resulted in the death of a 17-year-old boy in the Nadeef neighbourhood on March 10. The defendant was handed a 10-year prison term. However, the court decided to immediately reduce the sentence to six years and eight months because the victim's family dropped the charges against the defendant. Court papers said the defendant was celebrating a wedding when he drew a gun and fired several rounds while pointing his gun at the floor. 'A bullet deflected and struck the victim who was returning to his house,' the court said. The victim received a fatal bullet to his head, the court maintained. The court relied in its ruling on a ballistic report that indicated that 'the bullet extracted from the victim was a match to the gun used by the defendant'. The defendant did not contest his ruling at a higher court. Meanwhile, the Criminal Court's general attorney asked the Court of Cassation to uphold the ruling. The higher court ruled that the Criminal Court followed the proper procedure when sentencing, and the defendant deserved the verdict he received. The Court of Cassation judges were Mahmoud Ebtoush, Nayef Samarat, Hammad Ghzawi, Qassem Dughmi and Mohammad Sharari.

Dairy Queen celebrates North Texas couple, Mr. and Mrs. Blizzard, with sweet wedding treats
When Olivia Morris met Bradley Blizzard, she didn't believe his last name was real. "I didn't believe it. I just thought this has to be a joke," she said. But as the two got more serious, she started to embrace the idea of becoming Mrs. Blizzard. "I just realized if Blizzard is going to be my last name, I'm going to fully lean into it," she said. Blizzard may have even used it to score a few early brownie points. "The first time I met her dad, who I heard is a big Dairy Queen fan, I brought him a gift card," he said. As soon as the couple got engaged and Morris realized she was about to become a Blizzard, she took to TikTok to ask Dairy Queen if they wanted to be part of the wedding. The company responded, "I do." "They came up with all these wonderful ideas," she said. "We did a beautiful engagement shoot at a local DQ." From that dreamy photo session to custom merch for the bachelor and bachelorette parties, including a one-of-a-kind "Mrs. Blizzard" jacket, Dairy Queen made sure their engagement and wedding was memorable. "It's going to be awesome just getting to celebrate with everyone and then have a sweet kickoff at the end with Dairy Queen," the now Olivia Blizzard said ahead of the wedding. Now that their big day has passed, the couple reflects on the unforgettable celebration. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, Dairy Queen served up Blizzards — Reese's for Bradley Blizzard and Oreo for Olivia Blizzard — the perfect combination. "This experience has been way more than we ever expected," Olivia Blizzard said. "It's been incredible." For the Blizzards, their love story is a sweet reminder that sometimes, the best matches are the ones made to be a little sweet.

Nick Knowles' fiancé Katie Dadzie, 34, celebrates her hen do in London's West End as her pals sport face masks of the DIY SOS star, 62
Nick Knowles ' fiancé Katie Dadzie headed to London's West End on Saturday with pals as she celebrated her hen party. The lingerie brand boss, 34, and DIY SOS star, 62, began dating in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre before getting engaged in 2023. And Katie kicked off the wedding celebrations over the weekend at luxury boutique hotel Karma Sanctum as she was joined by close friends Kirsty Shaw and Sherene Fuller. The group arrived on a beer bus and then headed through party district Soho wearing Nick Knowles face masks, much to the amusement of Katie, ahead of partying at Karma Sanctum. Katie was later entertained by two buff men dressed as a fireman and policeman as the party carried on into the early hours. The bride-to-be stepped out for her hen night in a white strapless mini-dress and diamante heels with her brunette locks styled in waves. Katie and the TV star have been subject to cruel trolling during their relationship, with critics mocking their age difference and financial setup. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, about the 'gold digger' jibes, Katie admitted they don't get to her as much as they used to because she and Nick know its not true. She said: 'I think at the start, it was probably more irritating, especially for my family. But now those comments kind of just pass over me because we both know it's not true. 'Nick works hard, he has what he has. I work hard, I have what I have and then we buy each other stuff.' Katie continued: 'We're both really comfortable with where we are with that and you will always get it because there's an age gap. 'I know plenty of people who are together and the same age where someone's using the other one for money and they're not happy. 'So as long as I know it's not true and he knows it's not true, I think that's, that's pretty much all that matters.' Nick has an estimated £7.5 million net worth but Katie has built up an impressive lingerie brand, having launched Boa Boa in 2022. The bride-to-be stepped out for her hen night in a white strapless mini-dress and diamante heels with her brunette locks styled in waves She has proved to be her own best advert for the brand, modelling the skimpy looks to her 102,000 Instagram followers. Katie revealed her battle with endometriosis has impacted the pictures she posts as she is now on a mission to show off her 'real' figure. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus. It can cause pelvic pain, heavy periods, and difficulty getting pregnant. Speaking about how she wants to represent real women Katie shared : 'I've got slightly better at trying to show slightly more real, as in I've put weight on recently so I know I can't just have the better picture of me where I haven't eaten at the start of the morning. 'I've got horrendous endometriosis, so I do bloat terribly but that's the company ethos that it's underwear that's made to fit you regardless of your size.'
