Georgia’s highest court has a new chief justice. Michael Boggs, who had been the court’s presiding justice, has been sworn in as chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court. He replaces David Nahmias, who announced in February that he was stepping down from the court. Justice Nels Peterson was sworn in Monday as the court’s presiding justice. Typically, the presiding justice is next in line to be chief justice.
A group of Sept. 11 victims’ family members who have long accused Saudi Arabia of aiding the terrorists who carried out the attacks are condemning former President Donald Trump for hosting the Saudi-backed LIV golf tour at his New Jersey course later this month. In a letter to Trump on Sunday, family members said they felt “extreme pain, frustration and anger” as a result of Trump’s decision to host the controversial Saudi-sponsored league at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey for three days starting July 29. Requests for comment were sent to representatives for Trump and for LIV Golf.
There is no love lost between rival team owners Chip Ganassi and Zak Brown, and the two now find themselves entangled over the reigning IndyCar champion. Ganassi says he picked up the option on Alex Palou for 2023, but McLaren Racing says it has signed the Spaniard for next year. It should make for some juicy drama as lawyers hash it out, and there's plenty of speculation that Brown is targeting his nemesis and coming after his drivers. Brown says the deep roster he's assembling is just business in his quest to rebuild McLaren into a winning organization.
Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels is doing things no other player has ever done. His roots are deep in northeastern Japan where he played high school baseball and got his start. High school baseball in Japan is highly competitive and is run in a military-like fashion with countless practices with a focus on the development of spirit, teamwork and self-sacrifice. Ohtani took that background with him to the United States. Baseball was first introduced in Japan in 1872 and Ohtani is the product of 150 years of evolution that has also produced other top players like pitcher Hideo Nomo and outfielder Ichiro Suzuki.
A North Carolina-based insurance magnate whose convictions on corruption-related counts were overturned by a federal appeals court has been released from prison. The U.S. prison system says Greg E. Lindberg was let out of a minimum-security prison in Alabama late last week. It was the day after a judge agreed to his release in light of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals vacating Lindberg's convictions and ordering a new trial. The appeals court declared the judge had erred by giving jurors misleading instructions before deliberations. The jury convicted him in 2020 of attempting to bribe North Carolina’s insurance commissioner to secure preferential regulatory treatment.

NEW YORK — Nelson Mandela’s beacon of hope should be a lesson for us all, Prince Harry said Monday during a speech to the United Nations.
Federal investigators say evidence indicates that a helicopter that crashed in New Mexico after helping fight a wildfire over the weekend descended at a fast rate. Officials with the National Transportation Safety Board said Monday that the agency has completed its initial documentation of the deadly crash. It will likely take weeks for investigators to determine the cause. The helicopter was carrying three people with the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office and a county firefighter when it went down Saturday evening while returning from its firefighting mission. County officials on Monday called the four men heroes and said the law enforcement community is brokenhearted over the loss.
There’s little in contemporary movies quite like the arrival of a new Jordan Peele film. They tend to descend ominously and mysteriously, a little like an unknown object from above that casts an expanding, darkening shadow the closer it comes. “Nope,” the writer-director’s third film, is nearly here. And after Peele’s “Get Out" and “Us,” the closely-kept-under-wraps “Nope” brings a new set of horrors and unsettling metaphors. In an interview, Peele says his movie is “an answer to the way Hollywood began.” “Nope” opens in theaters Friday.
A Mexican judge's ruling means the extradition of drug trafficker Rafael Caro Quintero, captured in the mountains of northwest Mexico, will not happen quickly. In the ruling published Monday, the Mexican judge issued what amounts to an injunction preventing Caro Quintero from being sent to the United States without going through the formal extradition process. The judge also ruled that he must remain in the maximum security prison west of the capital where he was taken after his capture while that process plays out. After Caro Quintero’s arrest Friday, the U.S. government said it would seek his “immediate extradition.” That process began Saturday, but as expected Caro Quintero’s lawyers intervened.
Authorities in Washington state say a Walmart customer and an employee and three young men were shot and wounded in the store in the city of Mount Vernon. The Seattle Times reports that officers received reports of shots being fired inside the building shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday. Police investigators believe the shooting happened after a group of men entered the store and got into an altercation with another group of men inside the store. Police identified the victims as a 72-year-old customer, a 24-year-old employee and three 19-year-old men involved in the altercation. Police announced no arrests and did not know the current conditions of the injured people..
North Dakota’s only abortion clinic has gone to court seeking to block a trigger law banning abortion in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's reversal of a national right to abortion. The state lawsuit from the Red River Women's Clinic is asking a judge to declare the state ban unconstitutional — or at least to extend the July 28 date when it would take effect. Legal experts and even clinic supporters acknowledge the suit may just delay the inevitable. Clinic director Tammi Kromenaker has said she will move operations a short distance away to Moorhead, Minnesota, if the litigation is unsuccessful. The clinic’s patients come mostly from North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota.
A former senior investigator for the U.S. House committee probing the Jan. 6 insurrection says he has enough signatures to run as an independent for Missouri's U.S. Senate seat. John F. Wood on Monday said he has the 10,000 registered voter signatures needed to appear on the ballot for retiring GOP Sen. Roy Blunt’s seat. Missouri’s secretary of state must certify the signatures. Wood says he’s a lifelong Republican but thinks both parties are too extreme. Wood's candidacy comes as Republican leaders worry that scandal-plagued former Gov. Eric Greitens might win the primary but ultimately lose the seat to a Democrat.
General Motors will keep its headquarters in its seven-building office tower complex in downtown Detroit, its CEO says. Mary Barra, in an interview with The Associated Press, says the automaker’s main office will remain in the Renaissance Center, the centerpiece of the city’s skyline just across the Detroit River from Canada. Barra says Detroit is GM's home. But she qualified her statements, saying she can’t predict what might happen in five, 10 or 15 years. Barra also says the company has to look at its space needs now that many white-collar employees are staying at home much of the work week.

Clemson's top men's basketball scorer PJ Hall needs knee surgery and the team says there's no timetable for when he might return. An MRI on Friday revealed the 6-foot-10 Hall's kneecap had slid out of place. The school didn't say which knee. Hall already was rehabbing from foot surgery during the offseason. He said said in a statement he can't change what's happened, but will work hard to return to the court as soon as he can and help the Tigers through his leadership. Hall averaged 15.5 points and 5.8 rebounds a game last season.

Democratic nominee Cheri Beasley’s campaign entered this summer with a cash advantage over Republican candidate Ted Budd in North Carolina's U.S. Senate race. Federal campaign reports also show the former chief justice of the state Supreme Court outraised Budd in the second quarter by a more than 3-to-1 margin. Beasley's campaign had $4.8 million in her campaign coffers beginning July, while Budd — a current congressman — had $1.8 million. Campaign finance reports covering May, June and a few days in April were due Friday. The Beasley-Budd race could determine the Senate’s majority in a chamber currently equally divided among Democrats and Republicans.

South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley is calling out ESPN and its ESPY awards show for not inviting national player of the year Aliyah Boston to the ceremonies this week. Boston is the 6-foot-5 rising senior who helped the Gamecocks to their second national title in April. Boston won several national player of the year awards this past season, including the Wooden Award and AP player of the year. Boston is nominated for an ESPY as best college athlete among women's sports. Staley wondered how no one deciding on invitations could see the uproar not having Boston would bring.
A Taliban official has confirmed that at least 10 people were wounded after an earthquake struck eastern Gayan district in Paktika province. The director of Bakhtar, Taliban's news agency, says that it happened late Monday afternoon in the remote area. The U.S. Geological Survey said it was a magnitude 5.1 quake near Khost. Monday’s quake happened in the same area as a powerful quake that killed more than 1,000 people - according to the Taliban - in eastern Afghanistan last month, igniting yet another crisis for the struggling country and further underscoring the Taliban’s limited capabilities and isolation.
Denver police say five bystanders in a neighborhood filled with bars emptying for the night Sunday morning were hurt when officers shot and wounded a man who allegedly pointed a handgun at them. Investigators are trying to determine whether the three women and two men were hit by police gunfire or by ricocheting bullets or shrapnel. They didn't suffer life-threatening injuries. Officials say the man accused of having the gun in the city's Lower Downtown neighborhood is expected to survive. Police say it doesn't appear that he fired it. He was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing and possession of a handgun by a previous offender.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, says he plans to retire by the end of President Joe Biden’s term in January 2025. Fauci, 81, became director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 1984 and has advised seven presidents. Fauci said on CNN Monday that he doesn't have a specific retirement date in mind and hasn’t started the process. Fauci was thrust into the national spotlight at the height of the coronavirus pandemic under then-President Donald Trump, who suggested the pandemic would “fade away,” promoted unproven treatment methods and vilified scientists who countered him.

A former Little Rock, Arkansas, police chief who fired his gun at an armed suspect on New Year's Eve won't face charges in the shooting. Prosecutor Larry Jegley said in a letter to the state police Friday that Keith Humphrey was justified in the use of force in the shooting outside a convenience store. Humphrey did not strike the woman, who police said shot and wounded another woman. The suspect has pleaded not guilty to first-degree battery. Humphrey in May retired after serving as the city's police chief for three years. Humphrey had previously served as police chief in Norman, Oklahoma, and Lancaster, Texas.

Pop artist Claes Oldenburg has died. He was 93. The Sweden-born Oldenburg studied at Yale and the Art Institute of Chicago and gained his initial fame in performance art. But Oldenburg’s lasting fame focused on his sculptures, many of them turning normally ordinary objects like clothespins or baseball bats into huge sculptures in public spaces. Among his most famous works are “Clothespin,” a 45-foot steel clothespin installed near Philadelphia’s City Hall in 1976, and “Batcolumn,” a 100-foot lattice-work steel baseball bat installed the following year in front of a federal office building in Chicago
