 Scarface mansion in Miami listed for $237 million, potentially among most expensive homes ever sold The iconic mansion featured in the 1983 film Scarface has hit the market with an eye-watering asking price of $237 million, potentially making it one of the most expensive residential properties ever listed if it sells near that figure. The 13,000-square-foot estate is located on Key Biscayne, an island just off the coast of Miami connected by a causeway. Despite its name, it is not part of the Florida Keys.

The estate is known for its extravagant design, including a glass elevator ...

 Wrongfully convicted Louisiana man Calvin Duncan takes office as New Orleans court clerk after judge blocks state's effort to abolish position  A Louisiana man who spent years in prison after a wrongful conviction has begun serving as New Orleans’ criminal court clerk after a judge temporarily blocked a state effort to eliminate the elected position just as he was set to take office. Calvin Duncan, who won 68% of the vote for Orleans Parish criminal court clerk, started work Monday after a federal judge issued a temporary order preventing the state from transferring the office’s responsibilities to an appointed official. The move came after state lawmakers, at the urging of Gov. Jeff Landry, passed legislation days before Duncan’s term was set to begin that would abolish the position and consolidate its duties under another clerk’s office. A federal judge ruled that the change could not take effect immediately, saying the law raised constitutional concerns because it effectiv...
