"White father and son acquitted in attempted murder case of Black FedEx driver due to mistrial"

'Influencer' convicted of falsely reporting attempted kidnapping at California store

California "mom influencer" Katie Sorensen was found guilty of making a false report of a crime after fabricating a story about a Latino couple trying to kidnap her children outside of a store. Sorensen posted a video on social media in December 2020 alleging that the couple had followed her into the store, trailed her as she shopped with her children in a stroller, and made comments about her children's appearance. The couple was cleared of any wrongdoing, and authorities said that the investigation into Sorensen's claims "produced no evidence" to support her allegations. Sorensen's report to police "was determined to be false and was resoundingly contradicted by the accused couple as well as store video that was obtained."
