Trial begins for man accused of igniting massive 2018 California wildfire

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:48:24 GMT

A long-running dispute between two neighbors among the rustic cabins of Holy Jim Canyon led one of the men to intentionally ignite what became the massive Holy fire that burned through more than 23,000 acres in Orange and Riverside counties, a prosecutor told jurors on Tuesday.Alleged threats made by Forrest Clark toward his neighbor, along with potentially self-incriminating comments a raving Clark made to investigators who were looking into the source of the wildfire, are at the center of an arson trial that began Tuesday morning in an Orange County Superior courthouse in Santa Ana.Deputy District Attorney Dominic Bello told jurors that Clark threatened his neighbor hours before setting a fire “in or around” the man’s cabin. Alternate Defender Jason Phlaum countered that fire investigators quickly focused solely on Clark and carried out an inadequate investigation that failed to prove the blaze was intentionally set.Forrest Clark appears in court on Tuesday, April 18, 2023 during ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:48:24 GMT

Before Alec Baldwin resumes production on “Rust” — one of the more macabre-sounding endeavors in recent Hollywood history — the beleaguered actor enjoyed a trip Tuesday to his neighborhood park with his influencer wife Hilaria, four of their seven young children and a woman who looks like one of their rumored nannies.Photos captured by paparazzi show the casually dressed Alec and Hilaria Baldwin pushing a stroller carrying at least one small child into Washington Square Park, near their penthouse in Greenwich Village. They were accompanied by a woman who appeared to be a servant, pushing a second stroller holding another two children. As the Daily Mail said, it appeared that Baldwin, 65, and Hilaria, 39, were trying to “enjoy some normality” before he flew off to Montana to resume production on “Rust.”Alec and Hilaria Baldwin are spotted out with their kids in NYC ahead of Rust filming https://t.co/CJZOb6tMrS pic.twitter.com/i6WSgPMFTu...

Here’s how you can see South America by sea

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:48:24 GMT

Climbing the 222 steps to reach Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Christ the Redeemer may bring greater physical reward to the able-bodied who bypass the elevator or escalator. But no matter how one gets to the peak of Mount Corcovado, be they Christian or not, a spiritual reward awaits visitors at the pedestal of the religious and cultural symbol of Brazil, if not all of South America.It isn’t just the towering depiction of Jesus that brings awe to those who reach the world-famous, 98-foot-high statue. The landmark’s width and representation also make it so affecting; Cristo Redentor, using the native Portuguese name, has open arms that span 92 feet. These outstretched appendages, whether interpreted as a welcoming gesture or the redemption of mankind at the crucifixion, add to the statue’s allure and, based on the nonstop crowd of people imitating the Beloved Son’s pose in group shots and selfies, its Instagramability.Overlooking Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer is the religious and cult...
