A California jury unanimously ruled Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman time-barred by the statute of limitations, leading to a dismissal; Musk had accused Altman of deceiving him by accepting a $38 million donation and then shifting OpenAI from a nonprofit mission to a for-profit, with witnesses including Musk, Altman, and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, and Musk testifying that 'it's not OK to steal a charity.'
T.I. (Clifford Harris) and Tameka “Tiny” Harris are facing a lawsuit from a woman alleging they drugged and raped her in 2005 after meeting at a Los Angeles nightclub. The woman, an Air Force veteran, claims she was taken to a hotel, felt dizzy after a shared drink and a shower, and recalls T.I. sexually assaulting her. The Harrises' lawyer denies the allegations, stating they have refused to settle for three years and are awaiting their day in court. The civil suit is filed under a California act that extends the statute of limitations for sexual assault claims.
A golden weathervane stolen from a French village in 1999 has been returned by the remorseful thief, who was identified after using his credit card to mail it back. The thief, now in his late 40s, took the weathervane during a drunken party and hid it in his basement for nearly 25 years before deciding to return it. The statute of limitations has expired, so he will not face prosecution. The weathervane will be reattached to the village's outdoor Catholic cross in an upcoming ceremony.
