ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s Supreme Court ordered the release Thursday of a Pakistani-British man convicted & later acquitted in the beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002.

The court also dismissed an appeal of Ahmad Saeed Omar Sheikh’s acquittal filed by Pearl’s family & the Pakistani government.

A minister in the Sindh province where Sheikh is being held said the government had exhausted all options to keep him locked up. The “Supreme Court is the court of last resort,” said Murtaza Wahab, Sindh’s law minister.

“The Pearl family is in complete shock by the majority decision of the Supreme Court of Pakistan to acquit & release Ahmed Omer Sheikh and the other accused persons who kidnapped & killed Daniel Pearl,” the Pearl family said in a statement.

The brutality of Wall Street Journal reporter's killing shocked many in 2002, years before the Islamic State group began releasing videos of their beheadings of journalists.

Sheikh was convicted of helping lure Pearl to a meeting in the southern Pakistani port city of Karachi, during which he was kidnapped. Pearl had been investigating the link between Pakistani militants & Richard C. Reid, dubbed the “shoe bomber” after his attempt to blow up a flight from Paris to Miami with explosives hidden in his shoes.

Sheikh long denied any involvement in Pearl’s death, but the Supreme Court on Wednesday heard that he acknowledged writing a letter in 2019 admitting a minor role — raising hopes for some that he might remain behind bars.

Sheikh has been on death row since his conviction — even after his subsequent acquittal & is currently being held in a Karachi jail. A 3-judge Supreme Court ruled 2 to 1 to uphold Sheikh’s acquittal & ordered him released.

HURST, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Haltom City Detectives arrested two 14 year old boys in connection to the slaying of Ryan Munsie, 31, at an apartment complex in the 4200 block of Northern Cross.

Both of them were taken into custody on Jan.27.

Detectives said robbery appears to be the motive in the case, and Munsie sustained a fatal stab wound to her neck during the attack. She was working as a delivery driver for Uber Eats when she was killed.

Haltom City Detectives and Officers said they worked on-stop since Saturday to develop leads and identify any suspects in this case. Detectives were able to discover evidence that linked the two juveniles to the offense.

SWAT team members took the juveniles into custody without incident at an apartment complex in the 3600 block of Tanacross in Fort Worth. Both juveniles were transported to the Tarrant County Juvenile Justice Center in Fort Worth after their arrest. They face charges of Capital Murder.

Munsie is survived by her husband and three children.

A judge denied Brooklyn rapper Casanova’s bid for bail Thursday, ruling that he presented a danger to the community if released from jail.

Manhattan Federal Judge Philip Halpern said Casanova’s criminal history, along with the evidence against the accused Gorilla Stone Bloods member, made it too risky to grant him $2.5 million bail pending trial. Casanova’s real name is Caswell Senior.

“The fact that violence seems to be perpetuated by associates of Mr. Senior ... it’s plausible to interpret that as evidence ... Mr. Senior doesn’t have to get his hands dirty,” Halpern said.

“(Casanova) is a full fledged, committed leader of the gang,” Assistant U.S. Attorney David Felton said, citing “rampant evidence of guns, drugs & violence centrally involving this defendant.”

Defense attorney James Kousouros unsuccessfully argued that the government’s case boiled down to comments by other accused gangsters about Casanova, as well as photos of him with large amounts of weed.

Casanova faces a minimum of 15 years in prison on charges of toting firearms and dealing drugs in connection with the gang. Prosecutors say he held a position near the top of Gorilla Stone, which was founded by incarcerated gangster Dwight “Dick Wolf” Reid.

The judge cautioned that was difficult to “fully understand” Casanova’s status within the gang.

SEATTLE (AP) — Former Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Chad Wheeler was charged with first-degree domestic violence assault on Wednesday following his arrest last weekend.

Wheeler was additionally charged with domestic violence unlawful imprisonment and resisting arrest by King County Prosecutors. Wheeler is scheduled to be arraigned on Feb. 9. The first-degree domestic violence assault charge is a Class A felony in Washington. The domestic violence unlawful imprisonment charge is a Class C felony.

Prosecutors also asked a judge to require Wheeler be placed on electronic home detention, and wear an ankle monitoring device be equipped with GPS monitoring.

The charging decision by prosecutors ended a whirlwind day that included Wheeler being waived by the Seahawks, according to the NFL’s official transactions wire after details emerged of the alleged assault and his arrest.

“The Seahawks are saddened by the details emerging against Chad Wheeler and strongly condemn this act of domestic violence. Our thoughts and support are with the victim. Chad is a free agent and no longer with the team,” the Seahawks said in a statement.

Wheeler joined the Seahawks in 2019 and appeared in five games this season. His contract with the team was set to expire with the start of the new league year in March.

Wheeler was arrested by police in the Seattle suburb of Kent, Washington, and booked into the King County Jail early Saturday for investigation of felony domestic violence. He had an initial court appearance Monday and was released from jail Tuesday after posting $400,000 bond.

Officers went to a residence in Kent on Friday night after the victim and family members called 911 and reported the victim had locked herself in a bathroom after being attacked, according to the case file.

Arriving officers heard a woman screaming, forced their way into the apartment and broke down the door to the locked bathroom, documents said. Police found Wheeler with the woman, who was crying with her face covered in blood and her arm hanging limply at her side, court records say.

The officers eventually detained Wheeler, who was uncooperative and yelled, “Sorry!” and “I don’t beat women!” according to court documents. A Taser was also used against Wheeler, which the charging documents said had little effect.

At a hospital, the woman told investigators Wheeler told her to stand up and bow to him and when she refused, he threw her on the bed, choking her and trying to smother her, court documents say.

She began to lose consciousness and tried to fight back but Wheeler grabbed her arm and twisted it, the court file says. She then lost consciousness for an unknown length of time.

When she regained consciousness, the woman saw Wheeler by the bed and he said, “Wow, you’re alive?” Then she ran into the bathroom, where she called her family and 911, according to the case file.

Wheeler picked the lock to the bathroom and entered, then began apologizing. Officers arrived at the scene and arrested Wheeler.

Charging documents say the woman had a fractured humerus bone and dislocated elbow in her left arm. She also had lesions on her neck, some in the shape of fingermarks.

Doctors also said they believe the swelling and bruising to the victim’s face was the result strikes and punches, according to the charging papers. The victim said she did not remember Wheeler striking her.

Prosecutors say if convicted on the charges, sentencing range can be anywhere from eight to 12 years.

HOUSTON -- Quarterback Deshaun Watson has requested a trade from the Houston Texans, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.

Watson made the request to the team weeks ago, sources told ESPN.

The Texans' new head coaching hire, David Culley, has not and will not alter Watson's thinking, sources told ESPN.

Watson hasn't spoken to new Texans general manager Nick Caserio or executive Jack Easterby, sources told ESPN.

Watson, who signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension in September, is under contract through the 2025 season. He has a no-trade inclusion in his contract, but given the length of his contract and the possibility of franchise-tagging him for three years, the Texans could choose not to trade him and would have control of his rights through the 2028 season.

The trade request comes after Watson was reportedly unhappy with the process used by the team to hire Caserio in early January.

After Watson signed his contract extension last year, he was emotional as he discussed how happy he was to commit to the franchise and the city.

"It's just an amazing moment for me to be able to extend my career in a location, in a place, in a home, I would say, that my family loves, that I love," Watson said in September. "I want to continue to dive into the community most of all and just continue to build my legacy, just build our legacy as a whole and do something that we've never done before."

Watson set career-highs this past season in passing yards, touchdowns and completion percentage. He also threw a career-low seven interceptions. His 33 touchdowns and 4,823 passing yards were also single-season franchise records.

The quarterback's best individual season came in a season where the team went 4-12 and fired head coach and general manager Bill O'Brien after an 0-4 start.

Although he has played only four seasons (54 games), Watson's 104 passing touchdowns and 14,539 passing yards rank second in Texans franchise history behind Matt Schaub (124 touchdowns and 23,221 passing yards in 90 games).

Watson is currently the NFL's all-time leader in completion percentage behind New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. In 2020, he became just the 11th player in NFL history to complete at least 70% of his passes in a single season.

Manny Pacquiao has already moved on from a Conor McGregor mega-fight as the demand for such a match is no longer there, one of his managers said.

McGregor competed in an MMA bout Saturday at the Etihad Arena on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi, in a fight that could have re-announced him as an elite fighter.

However, the No.2-ranked lightweight Dustin Poirier shellacked McGregor against the fence, beat him to the floor, & then left him bloodied, defeated & concussed on the canvas midway through the second round of a wild fight.

Prior to the UFC 257 headliner, there had been talks that McGregor & Pacquiao would fight but now that the Irishman's lost for the third time in as many years, the Filipino fighter has left the discussion table.

"It looked like Conor looked past Dustin & got knocked out," Pacquiao's manager Sean Gibbons told The Sun. "Maybe he had the Senator on his mind. I think the demand for the fight is not there presently."

McGregor first told reporters he'd held "ongoing talks" with Pacquiao for a prospective fight ahead of his UFC 246 thrashing of Donald Cerrone in 2020.

When Pacquiao signed another managerial contract with McGregor's talent agent Audie Attar, the founder of Paradigm SM, it appeared to put them both on a collision course for a bout that could generate $250 million.

Attar said earlier this month that a Pacquiao vs. McGregor super fight in 2021 is "inevitable" because "both fighters want it."

Pacquiao even said he wanted to fight an MMA fighter like McGregor "right now."

But now, McGregor has to kiss that $250 million fight goodbye.

"Conor has some business to clean up and handle in the UFC," said Gibbons. "It's a bummer, it could have been fun for as long as it lasted."

The leader of the Proud Boys, who was arrested in Washington shortly before the Capitol riot, previously worked undercover and cooperated with investigators after he was accused of fraud in 2012, court documents show.

Henry “Enrique” Tarrio helped law enforcement in a variety of investigations nearly a decade ago by providing information & going undercover.

The Proud Boys is a far-right extremist group that seized on the Trump administration’s policies & was a major agitator during earlier protests & the Capitol riot on Jan. 6. The Proud Boys have railed against a “deep state” & work to break down the current government system, & so the revelations of Tarrio as a federal informant came as quite a surprise.

The details of Tarrio’s cooperation were found in a transcript of a 2014 hearing in federal court in Florida regarding his sentence for participating in a scheme involving the resale of diabetic test strips.

The prosecutor & Tarrio’s defense attorney both cited Tarrio’s extensive cooperation in arguing that his sentence of 30 months should be cut. The judge agreed to reduce his sentence to 16 months.

“Your Honor, frankly, in all the years, which is now more than 30 that I’ve been doing this, I’ve never had a client as prolific in terms of cooperating in any respect,” said Tarrio’s lawyer at the time, Jeffrey Feiler.

In an interview with Reuters, Tarrio denied ever cooperating with authorities.

After Tarrio’s 2012 indictment, he helped the government prosecute more than a dozen other people, the federal prosecutor told the judge, according to the transcript. Tarrio’s lawyer said he was the first defendant to cooperate in the case & was also involved in a variety of police undercover operations involving things like anabolic steroids & prescription narcotics.

“From day one, he was the one who wanted to talk to law enforcement, wanted to clear his name, wanted to straighten this out so that he could move on with his life. And he has in fact cooperated in a significant way,” the prosecutor said.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Fort Wayne’s NBC) — An 18-year-old has been arrested after he was caught on surveillance video trying to break into a home with another man on the north side of Fort Wayne.

The attempted break-in happened in the early morning hours of Jan. 18.

The homeowners spoke with Fort Wayne’s NBC about what they heard and discovered once the would-be burglars left.

"There was actually a shell on the ground outside of my house from when he shot himself in the leg, so they went ahead and did their crime scene investigation, took pictures of footprints and the shell, whatnot. And they checked the neighborhood to make sure they weren't still around," Trey Thomas said.

A doorbell camera shows two men trying to kick the door in when a handgun went off in a suspect's pocket, striking him in the leg.

That's when the pair takes off.

About 30 minutes after the attempted break-in, police learned someone walked into Parkview Randallia with a gunshot wound to the leg.

Keanu Cook, 18, is now charged with burglary with a deadly weapon, carrying a handgun without a license with a prior conviction, criminal recklessness committed with a deadly weapon, and criminal mischief.

After Cook was treated for his wounds, police interviewed him, where he reportedly told them he went to the victim's home armed for "money, weed and valuable stuff."

Cook told detectives he wanted to get cash before he turned himself in on another warrant.

He was previously convicted for carrying a handgun without a license.

The other suspect is believed to be at large.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is under fire for old Facebook activity that suggests she was onboard with the killing of Democrat lawmakers ... but she's brushing most of it off as "fake news."

The newly-elected Congresswoman from Georgia has a ton of posts, likes and replies/comments that were still active of late, and dug up by several outlets, including CNN, which say she either co-signed or outright called for the execution of folks like Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton ... just to name a few.

One such post from 2019, before she ran for office and was elected, reportedly shows she liked a comment that read, "a bullet in the head would be quicker" in response to someone speculating how to remove the House Speaker. Screenshots seem to prove ... it's legit.

There are other posts Rep. Greene reportedly liked about FBI agents getting killed ... because they were apparently part of the "deep state" working against Trump.

Her sights were also set on Hillary, it would seem -- she reportedly mentioned her in a couple different posts over the years. In one such case, she agreed with someone on a conspiracy theory about a "hit" Hillary supposedly ordered on a woman who'd seen heinous child-killing content on Anthony Weiner's laptop, and in another ... looping in Obama too.

Somebody reportedly once asked if "H & O" -- apparently referring to Hillary and Obama -- ought to be "hanged" ... to which Greene reportedly replied, "Stage is being set."

In light of all these old posts coming to light, Rep. Greene is commenting, but in a very defiant, Trump-like way.

She writes, "Fake News CNN is writing yet another hit piece on me focused on my time before running for political office. I will never back down to the enemy of the American people and neither should you." Greene goes on to say different people have managed her accounts for her at different points -- and while acknowledging some posts were legit, not everything she engaged online represents her views.

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy called the reports about Greene "disturbing," and said he plans to speak to her about it.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Family members of a father of five who was shot to death on Friday said he was hoping to talk to a teen's parents about his daughter being bullied on social media when he was killed.

Brandon Curtis, 35, was shot more than once in the 10900 block of Spring Brook Pass in the Humble area. The shooter claimed self-defense.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said it happened after Curtis took his daughter to fight other teens. However, Curtis' wife and sisters dispute that claim.

"I don't feel like it's right to let that come out like that. I'm angry. I'm angry about it," said Curtis' wife, Shantal Harris. "I know my husband. My husband is not like that."

"My brother would never put a hand on a child," said Curtis' sister, Jeran Perkins. "We want justice."

Harris said her 15-year-old daughter has been bullied on social media by the same teen boy for nine months. She shared some of the profanity-laced messages with ABC13 on Monday.

A few months ago, Harris said she and her husband spoke with the boy's father about it. She said Friday evening, her husband, daughter and son left to address the issue again.

"When he left from here, my husband went to go resolve the issue. He wanted to go speak to the parent," explained Harris.

However, Curtis never came home. Once outside the teen's house, the confrontation turned violent. Investigators said a 20-year-old man told them Curtis hit his teen brother.

The man got a gun to protect his brother and shot Curtis, authorities said. He died at the scene.

The man was not charged and the case will be referred to a Harris County grand jury, according to the sheriff's office.

Over the weekend, Harris said her daughter received a message that read, "we all had a fight and killed dey (sic) daddy."

"They think it's a joke," said Robinique Miles, Curtis' sister.

"For them to claim self- defense, it's sickening," added Harris.

Curtis' family want the man who shot him charged.

Curtis, a commercial truck driver, worked tirelessly to provide for his family. Now, they feel compelled to fight for him.
