 Kenyan lawyers boycott courts over alleged judicial corruption Kenyan lawyers staged a nationwide boycott of court proceedings on Wednesday to protest alleged judicial corruption and chronic delays. Cases in the East African nation take an average of two years to conclude, according to official records, with lawyers blaming graft and systemic inefficiencies. "The court boycott is going on in courts across the country, with many lawyers heeding the call," Charles Kanjama, the president of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), told reporters. However, the judiciary said that accountability mechanisms already exist through the Judicial Service Commission and the Office of the Judiciary Ombudsman, where complaints against judges and judicial officers can be lodged and investigated, according to a statement released prior to the boycott. It also defended its recent performance, saying it achieved a case clearance rate of 104 per cent for the first time in several years. After the natio...

 Ex-MLB pitcher gets life without parole for killing in-laws

 Former MLB pitcher Daniel Serafini was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole for the 2021 shooting of his wife’s parents during a burglary at their Lake Tahoe home.

Serafini, 51, was convicted in July 2025 of first-degree murder for killing his father-in-law, Gary Spohr, attempted murder for wounding his mother-in-law, Wendy Wood, and first-degree burglary. Wood survived the initial attack but died a year later.

Placer County District Attorney Morgan Gire said the victims were “loving grandparents” and that Serafini’s actions had a profound impact on the family and the community. “The impact of this attack has extended far beyond the immediate victims, deeply affecting family members and the broader community, and highlighting the lasting harm caused by deliberate violence,” Gire said.

During the sentencing hearing, Serafini maintained his innocence, telling the court he was out with his wife the night of the shooting and describing himself as a “broken, imperfect man that makes mistakes.” His attorney did not comment following the sentencing.

Serafini, drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 1992, played 11 years in Major League Baseball with teams including the Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, and Colorado Rockies.

Prosecutors presented evidence that Serafini harbored hostility toward his wife’s parents, including statements suggesting he would pay $20,000 to have them killed, along with angry emails and text messages exchanged with the couple. His defense argued there was no physical evidence linking him to the crime scene and claimed he lacked a motive to commit the killings.

After his conviction, Serafini filed multiple motions for a new trial, all of which were denied. He will serve his sentence in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
