"Tesla Autopilot Trial: Examining Cause of Fatal Crash Involving Apple Engineer"

The wrongful death trial for an Apple engineer killed in a Tesla crash involving the Autopilot system has begun in California. The family of the engineer alleges wrongful death, while Tesla claims the driver was playing on his phone at the time of the crash. Despite criticism from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Tesla has previously been exonerated in two separate trials in California. The trial involves allegations against both Tesla and the state of California, with the NTSB's findings not being shared with the jury.

"Closing Arguments Conclude in Elijah McClain Wrongful Death Trial Against Colorado Officers"

Defense attorneys for two police officers in Aurora, Colorado, facing charges in the death of Elijah McClain during a 2019 arrest have rested their case without calling any witnesses. The officers are accused of using excessive force, including a carotid hold, during the arrest. Prosecutors allege that McClain, who was unarmed, did not commit any criminal acts and was simply walking home. The trial for the two former officers began on September 20, and closing arguments are scheduled for Tuesday. Three officers and two paramedics involved in the case face a total of 32 charges, including reckless manslaughter and assault.
