Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:32:48 GMT

By COLLEEN SLEVIN and MATTHEW BROWN (Associated Press)BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — Elijah McClain’s mother left a Colorado courtroom in tears Friday after prosecutors showed video footage of the 23-year-old Black man pinned down by police officers during a fatal 2019 confrontation, which rose to prominence during nationwide protests over racial discrimination and excessive force in policing.Two officers from the Denver suburb of Aurora are on trial for manslaughter and other felony charges. The episode was captured by police body cameras, and prosecutors are leaning heavily on that footage to convince jurors that excessive force contributed to McClain’s death.On the night he was stopped, McClain was walking home from a convenience store wearing a runner’s mask.

Morgan Geekie looking to take next career step with Bruins

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:32:48 GMT

When a player has the type of season Morgan Geekie had for the surprising Seattle Kraken as a fourth-line center last year, he could usually expect to get a modest bump in pay.Instead, the Kraken made Geekie a free agent, declining to give the restricted free agent a qualifying offer.That is more of a statement on what the financial landscape in the NHL last summer was than what the 25-year-old can bring as a player. You only have to look at the Bruins’ training camp roster to see that, with established NHLers Danton Heinen and Alex Chiasson here on PTOs, while Jesper Boqvist, who signed a one-year deal with the B’s, was made a free agent when the New Jersey Devils did not tender him a qualifying offer.It was still a surprise for a player like Geekie, whose career seemed to be on an upward trajectory.“I found out on Twitter, so that’s how I found about that,” said Geekie on Friday with a wry smile. “But it is what it is. At the end of the day, it’s a business...

Surgeons perform second pig heart transplant, trying to save a dying man

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:32:48 GMT

By LAURAN NEERGAARD (AP Medical Writer)WASHINGTON (AP) — Surgeons have transplanted a pig’s heart into a dying man in a bid to prolong his life – only the second patient to ever undergo such an experimental feat. Two days later, the man was cracking jokes and able to sit in a chair, Maryland doctors said Friday.The 58-year-old Navy veteran was facing near-certain death from heart failure but other health problems meant he wasn’t eligible for a traditional heart transplant, according to doctors at University of Maryland Medicine.“Nobody knows from this point forward. At least now I have hope and I have a chance,” Lawrence Faucette, from Frederick, Maryland, said in a video recorded by the hospital before Wednesday’s operation. “I will fight tooth and nail for every breath I can take.”While the next few weeks will be critical, doctors were thrilled at Faucette’s early response to the pig organ.“You know, I just keep sha...
