Attorneys for APD officer request change of venue for upcoming October trial
SUMMARY: Attorneys for Austin police officer Christopher Taylor, who is accused of murder, have requested a change of venue for his upcoming trial in October. They argue that biased media coverage of the investigation makes it unlikely that Taylor will receive a fair trial in Austin. The trial is currently scheduled for October 16. Taylor is accused of shooting and killing Michael Ramos during a confrontation in April 2020. Taylor is currently on administrative leave from the police department. In May, the defense's mistrial motion was granted due to difficulties with jury selection. Taylor also faces charges for a separate incident in 2019.

Trump Ally Steve Bannon Surrenders to Federal Prison to Serve 4-month Sentence on Contempt Charges
SUMMARY: Longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon has begun a four-month prison sentence after surrendering to federal authorities in Danbury, Connecticut. Bannon’s incarceration follows his conviction on contempt charges for defying a congressional subpoena related to the U.S. Capitol attack investigation. A judge allowed Bannon to remain free for nearly two years during his appeal, but ordered him to report to prison after an appeals court upheld the conviction. The Supreme Court rejected Bannon’s emergency appeal. Bannon’s legal battle continues, with support from Republican House leaders, who claim the Jan. 6 committee was improperly established.
