31 years after Richmond robbery-murder conviction, man to be freed from prison after two key witnesses change their testimony

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:18 GMT

RICHMOND – A Bay Area man convicted of a 1992 robbery-murder will be released from prison under a new plea agreement reached after two key witnesses changed or recanted their testimony.Last week, Contra Costa Judge Julia Campins resentenced Ricky Godrey to 24 years in prison, after he pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter and attempted robbery.Godrey has already served 31 years in prison for murder in the same case, so he will be released from California State Prison, Solano under certain terms.He must serve two years parole, pay restitution to and stay away from the victim’s family, and is prohibited for life from possessing firearms. If he violates his parole, Godfrey will go back to prison.Godfrey was 18 when he was arrested and charged with fatally shooting Harvey Norfleet in Richmond, and was later sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Jurors convicted Godfrey in a 1993 trial where two eyewitness accounts were at the center of the government’s case.But dec...

Elizabeth Holmes’ last-ditch bid will keep her from going to prison Thursday

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:18 GMT

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has made a Hail Mary bid that will delay her imprisonment for felony fraud.Holmes late Tuesday asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to overturn an order by the judge who oversaw her trial to surrender herself for incarceration tomorrow. Under the court’s rules, she will remain free until a decision is made.It was not immediately clear for how long her motion to the appellate court would keep her from having to report to prison. Holmes’ co-accused, Sunny Balwani, who was tried and convicted separately, went through the same process in appealing his prison-date order, and the Ninth Circuit took three weeks to rule against him, while he remained free pending their decision.Holmes, 39, fought for months to remain free until her appeal of her verdict and sentence is concluded, which could be up to a year or more from now. But earlier this month, Judge Edward Davila ordered her to start serving her sentence of more than 11 yea...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:18 GMT

The flood of streaming options surges this week with the release of Prime Video’s hugely hyped actioner “Citadel”; HBO Max’s take on the oft-told Candy Montgomery murder case, “Love & Death”; Paramount+’s redo of the seminal 1987 erotic thriller “Fatal Attraction” (yes, the boiled bunny movie); and Hulu’s adaptation of the daring literary thriller “Saint X.”My pick, though, for the best of the week goes to “Sisu,” the stand-up-and-cheer action thriller from Finland that lands in theaters this week. And I can’t overlook the peppy “Polite Society.”Here’s our rundown.“Citadel”: In this visually arousing spy thriller, the impossibly gorgeous Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden are at the center of a smackdown between two rival agencies — one good but put out to pasture, the other dubious and posing a clear and present danger. Old memories re-emerge and fuel a cinematic bullet train that’s built around kickass action, sultry gazes and frenetic editing. Su...
