Colorado Theater Shooter Makes First Court Appearance

 James Holmes, the man who committed the heinous act of shooting 70 people in a Colorado movie theater, made his first appearance in court Monday morning. Dressed in burgundy jailhouse overalls and still donning a red-dyed hairstyle, the 24-year-old grad school dropout seemed exhausted, as it's been reported that he seemed to be having a very hard time staying awake. A judge made Holmes aware of his constitutional rights and gave prosecutors another week to file formal charges against him in the killing of 12 people and injuring of 58 others. Officials say more people could have been killed or injured, but Holmes' rifle jammed while inside the theater. His AR-15 rifle was capable of letting off 50-60 rounds in 60 seconds.
Araphoe County District Attorney Carol Chambers says that she'll be seeking the death penalty in this case due to the high number of deaths and overall victims. She simply stated "The death penalty will be considered in this case." Chambers also noted that it was too early to determines if Holmes' defense team will attempt to use an insanity plea.
According to the Daily News, guards within the courtroom said the defendant has not "shown any remorse" since his arrest and arrival in court. The motives for his actions remain unknown.

Blake Griffin Will Miss Olympics With Knee Injury

 

Written By: Shaun Russell

It was reported earlier in the week that Los Angeles Clippers power forward and 2012 Team USA Basketball member Blake Griffin suffered a left knee injury during one of the team's scrimmages. The Clippers organization later confirmed that Griffin was diagnosed with a torn medial meniscus and will have to undergo arthroscopic surgery, most likely in the coming week. The injury will prevent Blake from participating in London's Summer Games, but reports say he should be healthy enough for Clippers training camp later in the year.
L.A. Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro knows how disappointed Blake is about not being able to represent his country in this year's games. But he says he's relieved that his fierce power forward will be ready when the 2012-2013 NBA season starts.
"We're relieved that this does not affect Blake's ability to be ready in time for training camp. Missing out on the Olympic experience will be tough for him to take. I know how dedicated he was to doing that. We're glad we can get this fixed now and take advantage of the available time for him to fully recover."
This isn't the first time Blake has had to miss significant playing time because of his left knee. He had to miss his entire rookie NBA season in 2009 because of an injury to the same knee. But doctors says this new, unfortunate mishap is not related.
USA Basketball Chairman Jerry Colangelo believes this injury stems from this past season's NBA playoffs when Blake took a blow to the same knee. "The reality is, that injury took place at the end of the season. And he had an option to get it scoped and he opted not to get scoped. And so, I guess he aggravated it."
This adds to the extensive list of players who have been sidelined because of injury for Team USA. Number one overall pick Anthony Davis will replace Griffin on the roster.

Written By: Pierce Watson

While on the talkshow "The View", Queen Latifah was asked by Barbara Walters whether or not she had ever considered adoption. Latifah answered, "I'm actually kind of working on that..."
There have always been questions about Queen Latifah's sexuality and the possibility that she could be a lesbian, although that shouldn't have any bearing on whether or not she adopts a child.

Now he'll be paying the price by having many of his valued items put up for sale, including his "Young Buck" trademark name.

Beanie Sigel Facing Up To 3 Years In Prison For Failure To File Taxes

Written By: Mike Hughes

Tomorrow morning, July 12th, Beanie Sigel will be sentenced for his current court case at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.  Beanie had previously pleaded guilty for his failure to file federal income-tax returns from 2003-'05, and owes the IRS approximately $348,077 in back taxes that accumulated during that time period.  Sigel apparently made $1 million between '03-'05 but never paid any tax money for his net income.
Sigel's attorney, Fortunato N. Perri Jr., spoke to XXLMag.com about his pending case.
"It's difficult to predict the outcome in cases like this.  The sentencing judge is going to evaluate all the factors, including his background. Hopefully, the court will recognize that this is not a crime of violence.  However, incarceration is an option."
Hopefully Sigel won't have to do any jail time for this financial issue.
