­­Climate activist Greta Thunberg acquitted after London protest trial

Feb 2nd, 09:23:01

 

LONDON (Reuters) - Climate activist Greta Thunberg was on Friday cleared of a public order offence as a judge ruled police had no power to arrest her and others at a protest in London last year.

 

Thunberg stood trial with four other defendants who were arrested on Oct. 17 outside a London hotel, where the Energy Intelligence Forum was hosting oil and gas industry leaders.

 

All five were accused of failing to comply with an order made under the Public Order Act by police to move their protest to a designated area near the conference.

 

They were all acquitted at Westminster Magistrates' Court, in a ruling which throws into doubt other prosecutions of those facing the same charge from the Oct. 17 demonstration.

Stanley cups maker sued over lead in tumblers, class action proposed

Feb 2nd, 12:01:01

 

By Diana Novak Jones

 

(Reuters) - The maker of the ultra-popular Stanley cups was sued on Thursday in California state court by four women who say the company misled consumers by failing to disclose that the product contains lead, a toxic substance.

 

The lawsuit, which seeks class action status, alleges that Stanley brand owner Pacific Market International marketed the reusable cups as safe and durable while knowing that there was lead in the cups’ vacuum seals.

Trump Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis responds to misconduct claims

Feb 2nd, 12:16:31

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Georgia prosecutor trying Donald Trump for attempting to overturn his 2020 election defeat responded to an effort by the former U.S. president to have her removed from the case due to an inappropriate relationship with a colleague, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.

 

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in a court filing said that claims that have threatened to upend her office’s historic prosecution had "no merit," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

 

Trump and two co-defendants are seeking to disqualify Willis and dismiss the charges, alleging Willis benefited financially from an "improper, clandestine personal relationship" with Nathan Wade, a lawyer she hired to help lead the investigation.

 

The case is one of four criminal prosecutions Trump faces as he closes in on the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in November's elections. Trump has launched multiple challenges to these cases that could delay the start of any trial by weeks or months.

 

Citing unnamed sources and previously sealed court records, Trump co-defendant Michael Roman alleged in a court filing that Wade paid for vacations with Willis while he was being compensated by her office for work on the probe.

 

Trump and his co-defendants accused Willis of a conflict of interest and suggested her relationship with Wade may run afoul of state ethics rules and U.S. law.

 

Records released as part of Wade’s divorce case show he paid for airline flights with Willis on at least two occasions during the investigation.
