Quick Glance: Building Commences on High-Speed Rail Line Between Sin City and City of Angels

Work is set to begin on a $12 billion high-speed passenger rail line between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area.

Brightline West aims to lay 218 miles of new track between a terminal south of the Las Vegas Strip and a new facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

The project is touted as the nation's first true high-speed passenger rail line, designed to reach speeds of 186 mph comparable to Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains.

The trains will offer restrooms, Wi-Fi, food and beverage sales, and luggage check options, with an expected 11 million passengers per year and fares well below airline travel costs.

Is Harvey Weinstein's Los Angeles conviction now in jeopardy?: After Harvey Weinstein won an appeal to overturn his New York rape conviction ...

latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-25/is-harvey-weinsteins-california-conviction-in-jeopardy-after-new-york-appeals-ruling

Quick Glance: New York Overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 Rape Conviction

New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, citing prejudicial rulings by the judge in the landmark #MeToo trial.

The State Court of Appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America's reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures, ordering a new trial where his accusers might have to relive their traumas.

Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a New York prison following his conviction, but will remain imprisoned due to another rape conviction in Los Angeles in 2022.

This decision marks another setback for #MeToo, following the US Supreme Court's refusal to hear an appeal in the Bill Cosby case, where his sexual assault conviction was overturned by a Pennsylvania court.

Quick Glance: Shohei Ohtani Sets New Record for Most MLB Homers

Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani has broken the record for the most homers hit by a Japanese-born player in Major League Baseball.

During a game at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani hit an impressive homer that flew into the right field bleachers off pitcher Adrian Houser of the New York Mets.

With this homer, which was Ohtani's 176th in his six years in the MLB, he surpassed Matsui, who played the final 10 years of his 20-year pro career in North America.

Ohtani's record-breaking blast traveled 423 feet and put the Dodgers ahead 2-0. Prior to this, Ohtani had not hit a homer in seven consecutive games.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order

Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.
