SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — A man who spent 16 years in prison after he was wrongfully convicted of raping writer Alice Sebold when she was a Syracuse University student has settled a lawsuit against New York state for $5.5 million, his lawyers said Monday. The settlement comes after Anthony Broadwater's conviction for raping Sebold in 1981 was overturned in 2021. It was signed last week by lawyers for Broadwater and New York Attorney General Letitia James, David Hammond, one of Broadwater's attorneys, said. Broadwater, 62, said in a statement relayed by Hammond, "I appreciate what Attorney General James has done, and I hope and pray that others in my situation can achieve the same measure of justice. We all suffer from destroyed lives.” Sebold was an 18-year-old first-year student at Syracuse when she was raped in a park near campus in May 1981. She described the attack and the ensuing prosecution in a memoir, “Lucky,” published in 1999. Sebold went on to win acclaim for her 2002 … [Read more...] about NY to pay $5.5M to man exonerated in Alice Sebold rape case

Taron Egerton slots Tetris story into place in new biopic
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 9 The origin story of the iconic computer game “Tetris” is more thrilling than you may think. It involves border crossing, authority dodging, underhand deals, putting your house on the line and — finally — trying to secure the rights for the game from behind the Iron Curtain. And now it's a film, releasing March 31, on Apple TV+. After playing an early version of Tetris, game designer Henk Rogers (played by Taron Egerton) travels to the Soviet Union in 1988 to meet Tetris designer Alexey Pajitnov (played by Nikita Efremov), hoping to secure worldwide distribution rights to the game. Rogers was driven by his love of Tetris and his eagerness for the world to experience it, but the transaction was not smooth. Egerton says he doesn’t have the tenacity of Rogers, who potentially put his life on the line for the sake of the game. “I have a more … [Read more...] about Taron Egerton slots Tetris story into place in new biopic
Game of Thrones star Jerome Flynn reveals the horror of seeing child soldiers forced to kill
As mercenary swordsman Bronn, Game of Thrones star Jerome Flynn is a master warrior, a hardfaced killer you don’t want to mess with. It is a part Flynn, with his steely glare and craggy looks, plays to perfection. But even his tough exterior crumbled when he came face-to-face with real killers – child soldiers coerced into slaying fellow youngsters and men in one of the world’s most drawn-out conflicts. Jerome, 53, winced as he heard harrowing tales of civil war in Myanmar, South-East Asia, where thousands of boys, as young as 11, were forcibly recruited. On his trip to the former British colony of Burma, Jerome met Hein, who fears he killed 100. The horrifying image of one of the street children ( Image: PAUL WU/WORLD VISION) Deeply affected, the star said: “To meet a young man who as a child was forced into killing so many people, some as young as himself, to sit there with him as he shared his story – it was totally heart-wrenching.

Review: Prohibition-era tale ‘Hang the Moon’ goes down easy
“Hang the Moon” by Jeannette Walls (Scribner) Jeannette Walls burst on the scene with her intensely personal memoir “The Glass Castle” in 2005. That book spent more than eight years on the hardcover and paperback bestseller lists and eventually became a 2017 movie starring Brie Larson, Naomi Watts and Woody Harrelson. This book, while fiction, borrows heavily from the histories of real people and events who lived during the Prohibition era in Virginia. The narrator, Sallie Kincaid, is the daughter of the most prosperous man in Claiborne County, who everyone calls “Duke.” The heart of the story picks up with Sallie at almost age 18, when she moves back to the family estate after a decade in exile living with her poor aunt “in the hollows” of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Her memories of the Duke are almost entirely positive, but the events of the novel quickly challenge that as the plot speeds along at a breakneck pace. Before you know it the Duke is dead and Sallie stands to … [Read more...] about Review: Prohibition-era tale ‘Hang the Moon’ goes down easy
Meghan and Harry could spend up to three years in Africa for Commonwealth role
Prince Harry and Meghan could move to Africa for up to three years as part of plans to give them a major new role in the Commonwealth, it has emerged. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are expecting their first child in the next few days, have become two of the most popular royals. And Harry’s advisers are reportedly working to create a role that capitalises on their global superstar status. Royal sources said the African scheme was “one of a number of options” but “nothing is off limits”, adding formal plans would not be in place until next year. But the couple are said to be keen to explore the idea in more detail after settling into life as new parents, even though it could fuel talk of a rift between Harry and his brother, Prince William.
