TRIAL OF BROTHERS LYLE & ERIK MENENDEZ, PARRICIDES (Photo by Ted Soqui/Sygma via Getty Images) LOS ANGELES - Potentially reopening one of Southern California's most notorious murder cases, attorneys for Erik and Lyle Menendez filed court papers Wednesday contending that newly surfaced evidence warrants the overturning of the brothers' convictions for killing their parents in 1989.Jose Menendez and his wife, Mary Louise, or "Kitty," were gunned down by their sons in their Beverly Hills mansion in 1989.

Erik Menendez, now 52, and Lyle Menendez, now 55, never denied carrying out the killings, but contended they were repeatedly sexually assaulted by their father and feared for their lives.As a result, defense attorneys argued that the brothers "did not harbor the mental state needed for first-degree murder and were therefore guilty of manslaughter."Prosecutors, however, said the killings were financially motivated, pointing to lavish spending sprees by the brothers after the killings and arguing they were guilty of first-degree murder.The brothers' first trial ended with jurors unable to reach verdicts, deadlocking between first-degree murder and lesser charges including manslaughter.

The second trial, which began in October 1995 and lacked much of the testimony centered on allegations of sexual abuse by Jose Menendez, ended with both brothers being convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy.The brothers were both sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

They have repeatedly appealed their convictions to no avail.LOS ANGELES, UNITED STATES: This 02 February 1995 file picture shows Erik (L) and Lyle (R) Menendez conversing in the courtroom during a hearing in Los Angeles.

$70M Lotto Max win would be largest unclaimed Canadian lottery prize ever

Lotto Max draw last year doesn’t come forward soon, it will expire and go down as the largest unclaimed prize in Canadian lottery history.On Tuesday, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) encouraged people to check their tickets for the June 28, 2022 draw, noting the ticket that won the jackpot was sold in Toronto’s Scarborough area.“This yet-to-be-claimed $70 million winning ticket will expire on June 28, 2023, unless the rightful ticket holder comes forward to OLG before then,” the OLG said.OLG spokesperson Tony Bitonti told Global News that if the winner doesn’t come forward soon, it will become the largest unclaimed prize in Canadian lottery history, surpassing a $15 million Lotto Max win from an August 2021 draw that was never claimed.In that case, the winning ticket was bought in British Columbia.“We’re hoping not to make history in this case,” Bitonti said.“Someone out there bought a Lotto Max ticket — put down five, ten, (or) $15 — for a chance to win a $70 million jackpot. And in this case, they did.

Frankford High School expected to remain closed next year after asbestos discovery

PHILADELPHIA - As several Philadelphia schools continue to struggle with asbestos, at least one is already likely to stay closed to students and staff all of next year as well.Frankford High School first closed its door last month after asbestos was discovered on school grounds, including on the first floor where the cafeteria is. In a letter to the school community, the district announced that "unexpected" damage could also force the school to stay shut the next academic year for "necessary environmental and other work, including HVAC, and repairs needed throughout the facility."Officials say they are currently working on an in-person learning location for Frankford students.RELATED COVERAGE: Frankford High School to be closed for rest of school year after asbestos discoveryDamaged pipe wrap in the first-floor hallway and cafeteria above existing ductwork and drop ceilings is what ultimately led to the decision to shut the school, according to the district.Asbestos damage was also found on the third and fourth floors, throughout the structure and in floor tiles.The district also addressed questions regarding potential exposure for students and staff."There is no way to accurately calculate potential exposure in a school, given the number of people, movement in the building, areas of damage, and the invisible nature of potential fibers. The presence of asbestos materials itself is not a risk.
