[BALTIMORESUN] A mistrial was declared Wednesday in the trial of Baltimore Police Officer William G. Porter, after jurors told a judge it could not reach a verdict on any of the four charges against him.
"I do declare a mistrial," Judge Barry G. Williams announced in a downtown courtroom.
Porter, 26, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. He is the first of six city coppers to stand trial in the death of Freddie Gray.
Attorneys are expected to appear in court Thursday morning in front of an administrative judge to pick a retrial date. Porter is not scheduled to attend.
[FOXNEWS] A millionaire businessman has been found not guilty of rape after claiming he accidentally penetrated her when he tripped and fell.
Ehsan Abdulaziz, 46, was initially accused of forcing himself on the 18-year-old as she slept on a couch at his London flat after a night of drinking.
The Saudi property developer said he had already had sex with the young woman's 24-year-old friend and it was possible his penis may have been poking out of his underwear when he tripped.
The Mirror reported the group had met at an exclusive West End club last year where he entertained them before offering them a lift home.
The 18-year-old claimed that after a number of drinks at Abdulaziz's north London home, she went to sleep on the couch.
She said she woke up to find him on top of her, forcing himself on her.
"She woke up with the defendant kissing her and his penis in her vagina," prosecutor Jonathan Davies told the Southwark Crown Court.
"She said: 'What are you doing?' and he said 'It's fine', indicating that her friend was asleep.
"She got up to find her friend, tried to wake her but couldn't, she then tried to get out of the flat as quickly as she could."
Abdulaziz said he had accidentally fallen on the teenager and that she tried to seduce him, and that was how his DNA got onto her vagina.
"Allah willed it somehow. He does things like that."

[Nuus24] London - Migrants around the world are invited to share their life stories in a new social media campaign launched in London on Wednesday by the International Organisation for Migration and a British charity.
The site iamamigrant.org brings together profiles of migrants including their country of origin and the distance from the place where they now live.
An Arabic interpreter of Iraqi origin living in Belgium, an artist from Mauritania living in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a terrorist from Syria, and a fashion designer from India living in Italy were among the profiles featured on the website at its launch.
Widespread support
"Myths and fears surrounding migrants are informing popular discourse," said Saira Grant, chief executive of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI), the non-governmental group co-organising the initiative with the Geneva-based IOM. Geneva-based IOM? Wat bloody hypocracy. Banking accounts welcome, migrants not so much.
The campaign is being launched ahead of UN International Migrants Day on Friday and has already been adopted by the government in Mexico, where "Soy Migrante" posters will go on display next month.

Why migrant, instead of immigrant? Both of my parents were immigrants, and worked hard to be good American citizens. A migrant is merely someone who moves between places for the financial benefits without loyalty.
The United States and Japan have agreed on a $1.6 billion five-year cost sharing deal to support US military forces on the island nation, spokesmen for the US departments of Defense and State announced, Sputnik reported.
“[By Japan] covering a share of our costs for the base workforce… this host-nation support package will help sustain the US military presence in Japan, a key part of the United States’ rebalance to Asia and the Pacific,” Defense Department spokesman Jeff Davis said on Wednesday.
The agreement takes effect on April 1, 2016, and will directly support the operational readiness of US forces in Japan, the official Defense Department News reported.
“Japan remained a key partner in the US military rebalance,” State Department spokesman John Kirby told his daily briefing.
Washington and Tokyo have been negotiating for the agreement since July 2015, Nikkei Asian Review reported on December 12. Japan wanted to cut its support payments because of financial problems, but the United States insisted on its terms being met, the report said.

THE P-8A POSEIDON MIS-ADVENTURE: SINGAPORE BUGALOO, NOT starring 1970's TV "Nancy Drew" or "The Hardy Boyz".
The US administration formally notified Congress on Wednesday of a $1.83 billion arms sale package for Taiwan, including two frigates, anti-tank missiles, amphibious assault vehicles and other equipment, despite opposition from China, Reuters reported.
I'll bet the smog isn't the only thing causing the Commie leaders to choke in Beijing this evening...
The authorization came a year after Congress passed legislation approving the sale. It is the first such major arms sale to Taiwan in more than four years.
The White House said there was no change in the longstanding US "one China" policy. Past US weapons sales to Taiwan have attracted strong condemnation in China, which considers Taiwan a renegade province. A spokesman for the White House's National Security Council said the authorization followed previous sales notifications by the administration totaling over $12 billion under the Taiwan Relations Act.
"Our longstanding policy on arms sales to Taiwan has been consistent across six different US administrations," the spokesman, Myles Caggins, said, while adding: "We remain committed to our one-China policy."
Although Washington does not recognize Taiwan as a separate state from China, it is committed under the Taiwan Relations Act to ensuring Taipei can maintain a credible defense.
The new sales come at a period of heightened tensions between the United States and China over the South China Sea, where Washington has been critical of China's building of man-made islands to assert expansive territorial claims.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said this week that Beijing opposed US arms sales to Taiwan as "an interference in China's internal affairs."
Hong said such sales "damaged the peaceful development of ties across the Taiwan Strait and Sino-US ties and said Beijing urged Washington "to earnestly recognize the high sensitivity and serious harm of weapons sales to Taiwan."
David McKeeby, a spokesman for the US State Department, said the package was aimed at "supporting Taiwan’s efforts to develop more innovative and asymmetric defensive capabilities."
He said it included two Perry-class guided-missile frigates; $57 million of Javelin anti-tank missiles made by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin; $268 million of TOW 2B anti-tank missiles and $217 million of Stinger surface-to-air missiles made by Raytheon, and $375 million of AAV-7 Amphibious Assault Vehicles.
The State Department said the frigates were being offered as surplus items at a cost of $190 million. The package also includes $416 million of guns, upgrade kits, ammunition and support for Raytheon's Close-in Weapons System.
Analysts and congressional sources believe the delay in the formal approval of the sales was due to the Obama administration's desire to maintain stable working relations with China, an increasingly powerful strategic rival but also a vital economic partner as the world's second-largest economy. Most recently the administration was working with Beijing to forge a landmark global climate agreement that was sealed on Saturday after two weeks of intense negotiations.
While Taiwan has been overshadowed recently as a US-China issue by the South China Sea, it has the potential to flare up again, especially with Taiwanese elections coming up next month. Taiwan is to elect a new president, with Tsai Ing-wen of the independence-leaning opposition Democratic Progressive Party the favorite to win. China has warned it will never accept an independent Taiwan.
US Republican lawmakers said on Wednesday they were pleased the administration had authorized the sale but called for a more regular process for such transactions. Senator John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said this would "avoid extended periods in which fear of upsetting the US-China relationship may harm Taiwan’s defense capabilities."

China is upset + has demanded that the US stop this tarsnfer of arms to Taiwan.
All the more reason for the USDOD-Navy to be extremely careful vee China from now on, espec this coming new year 2016 + its poten or more Bammer-led, US-damaging "red lines" agz China, Russia, + Iran. ONE YEAR OR SO IS MUCHO MUCHO PLENTY OF TIME FOR MORE GEOPOL OR MILPOL SHENNIGANS TO OCCUR VEE ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS OBAMA.
Again, there is no sign that China is giving upor amending its "Post-US" Geopol Agenda or Ambitions = Manifest Destiny, NOR that it willing to wait until Year 2050 or beyond to achieve same. THE BEST TIME FOR CHINA [+ Russia + Iran, Other] TO MAKE THEIR MOVES IS WHILE THE "WEAKEST/WORSE" US POTUS = ANTI-US US POTUS IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE RESPONSIBLE FOR AMERIKA'S DIRECT MILITARY RESPONSE TO ANY WORLD CRISIS OR IN ALTERNATE THE LACK OF SAME.
[Guardian] Dutch police have fired warning shots in an effort to disperse a crowd, as a protest against plans to house asylum seekers in a small town turned into a riot.
Police in Geldermalsen, near Utrecht, said via their official Twitter account they had "so far made numerous arrests, it's is not clear yet how many". No serious injuries were reported.
Images and videos of the incident showed dozens of youths tearing down fences, throwing beer bottles and fireworks at police, and chanting slogans against the proposed centre for asylum-seekers.
According to national broadcaster NOS, around 2,000 people joined the protest in a town of 27,000.

The article actually references the number at 2500 which would be roughly 10% of the towns population. If 10% of your populace riots against you, you are most definitely doing it wrong, and it will only get worse
