Driver Who Crashed Into Tracy Morgan Wants Charges Dropped

Kevin Roper, the driver of the Walmart truck that crashed into a limo that killed one man and seriously injured Tracy Morgan, will ask the judge to throw out the criminal charges against him. Roper's attorney, David Glassman, made the revelation to The Associated Press, and he added that the truck driver hadn't been indicted on one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. 
Glassman claims that Roper is unable to get a fair trial due to the negative publicity surrounding him since the June 2014 crash. He added, "Civil cases are routinely stayed for criminal cases to proceed. Had that occurred and a stay issued in the civil case, a tsunami of negative pretrial publicity would have been avoided and Roper's right to a fair trial would have been preserved."

Photos Surface of Fugitive El Chapo Drinking & Flying in Plane

Mexico is in a state of emergency after kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from prison again, and photos have surfaced of him allegedly drinking a beer and flying in a plane. The photos leaked on a Twitter page allegedly belonging to the crime boss' son, but the photos have yet to be verified. Drug Enforcement Agent Mike Vigil doubts that Guzman's son would leak the photos, telling the San Antonio Express-News, "I don't think (his son) would leak those photos because that could be used to try and apprehend Chapo, and that would be circumventing his planned escape." The feared kingpin escaped from Altiplanoa, maximum security prison in Mexico, via a mile-long tunnel that many suspect was dug with help from the outside. El Chapo also escaped from prison in 2001 via a laundry cart, and he was found thirteen years later on a Mexican beach resort.

Tyga said that he didn't even intend to make money off of the project and added, "Yall mfs is funny. I put my album out myself for free on spotify,soundcloud, YouTube to stream. Didn't plan on selling it Kuz of label problems. It's a dope album. Got a lot of great feedback and millions of streams."
