DENVER – Former Colorado football player Shilo Sanders testified at his bankruptcy trial here Tuesday, Sept. 1, that a security guard at his school "attacked and ***** aulted" him in 2015 — not the other way around as a Texas state court found in 2022 when it issued an $11.89 million judgment against Sanders.
Sanders, son of Colorado coach Deion Sanders, testified the security guard, John Darjean, also caused him to fear his life, choked him, caused him to "black out" and starting tearing the skin off his arm when he grabbed it in an attempt to confiscate his phone at school.
Sanders testified he was in "excruciating pain" because of it and was "choke-slammed" by Darjean into a corner, causing him to "hit my head as hard as possibly could happen."
"I literally have proof of both of his hands tearing my skin off," Sanders testified.
WHAT'S AT STAKE: Deion Sanders' son goes to trial this week. Why this case is so weird

A judge has granted a hearing to explore claims that a man wants to recant allegations of ****** ual abuse years ago by Penn State ****** istant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
Sandusky, 82, has been serving a decades-long prison sentence since he was convicted of 45 counts of ****** ual abuse in 2012. Eight young men testified about what happened to them as boys. He has repeatedly lost efforts to get a new trial, but Sandusky's lawyers are trying again.
A man identified in court documents as R.R. said he was coached extensively by authorities.
"I was told — both directly and indirectly — that trauma may have fragmented my memory, and that I could safely affirm details I did not fully recall. I was ****** ured this was common and even expected," R.R. said in an affidavit filed by Sandusky's attorneys.
A court hearing in Centre County has been scheduled for Sept. 8.

Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves franchise player, is mandated by the judge to pay $14,000 per month in child support for his son, whom he claims to have never met.
TMZ reports that court documents indicate the mandate was set for Amir, Edwards, and Alexandria Desroches' son. Amir was born in October 2023, and Alexandria is currently living in New York with him.
Under oath, Edwards testified that he hasn't seen Amir in person and doesn't want parenting time.
The monthly support is extremely high than the base $3,200 support. At the start, Alexandria requested additional funds, stating that the base amount doesn't cover the child's needs because of Edwards' lifestyle.
The court considered Edwards' finances. His gross monthly income is $4.8 million, and about $31,000 goes to food, while Edwards spends about $70,000 on entertainment and $30,000 on vacations. Alexandria earns around $1,016 monthly and hopes to complete her education to provide greater financial stability for the child.

Jake and Romy Reiner testified before the Los Angeles grand jury that indicted their brother Nick.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office confirmed Nick's siblings spoke in court as part of their brother's murder case. Just days ago, he was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of their parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.
Nick is now facing a new alleged special circumstance of lying in wait.
Within a statement unsealed in court last Wednesday, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said, "This was a profound betrayal by someone who was loved and trusted by the very people he is accused of killing.
"The indictment unsealed today also adds a special circumstance allegation that the defendant committed the murders by means of lying in wait," the attorney continued. "We hope that by having a grand jury return an indictment in this case it will bring us one step closer to a trial and achieving justice."

President Donald Trump has always loved the idea of taking other countries' oil by force. And he claims to have accomplished that goal in Venezuela. The war there "lasted 48 minutes, and we paid for the war with what we've taken out many, many, many times. Where have you heard that before? You haven't heard that before. That's the old fashioned way, right? The old-fashioned way. To the victor belong the spoils," Trump told a crowd in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
That's not how other officials advertised U.S. oversight of Venezuelan oil. "We're the bankers, we don't direct the funds," Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent told the Economic Club of Minnesota in January. "This is the oil of the people of Venezuela," Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified to Congress a few weeks later, claiming that the U.S. government was making sure that "the needs of the Venezuelan people can be met" through oil sales.
In a way, they're both right. Shortly after the U.S. military operation in Venezuela on January 3, 2026, the two countries cut a deal to put sanctioned Venezuelan oil revenues under the control of the U.S. Treasury. The money still belongs to Venezuela on paper, but it's controlled by U.S. officials for all practical purposes—and trying to get any transparency on where it's going has been like pulling teeth.
The oil deal demonstrates the raw, unaccountable, and global power that economic sanctions give to the U.S. Treasury. Neither the American nor the Venezuelan people have a clear picture of what's going on. The case of Venezuela also shows how, despite invoking Ronald Reagan's anticommunism, the Trump administration is much more concerned with imposing direct economic control than nurturing free markets. After all, the Venezuelan oil deal is a U.S. partnership with a socialist dictatorship.
Over the past two decades, the U.S. Treasury had imposed sanctions on the Venezuelan oil and banking sectors, preventing Venezuela's state-owned oil company from exporting to North America and its socialist government from dealing in U.S. dollars. After the January 2026 operation, the Venezuelan leadership cut a deal. The Trump administration issued sanctions exemptions and even shielded Venezuelan money from U.S. lawsuits. In exchange, Venezuela began putting its oil revenues into bank accounts in the "custody" of the U.S. Treasury.

On Monday afternoon, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers sparked plenty of reaction after making blunt and controversial remarks about former National Institutes of Health leader Anthony Fauci, who testified before Congress last week.
Although Rodgers' comments quickly generated controversy, it appears the Pittsburgh Steelers have no plans to discipline him over the remarks.
Fauci, whose medical guidance played a key role in leading the United States through the COVID-19 pandemic, drew headlines after invoking the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during last week's congressional hearing, reigniting criticism over the government's pandemic response. Rodgers, who was a vocal opponent of the COVID-19 vaccine during the pandemic, used his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday to once again criticize Fauci.
When McAfee posed a football-related question during the show, Rodgers bypassed the topic entirely and instead directed his attention toward Fauci.
"I'm gonna plead the fifth, like that absolute coward, Tony Fauci," Rodgers said with a big smile.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Olympian charged with deliberately damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is seeking access to all of the closed-door testimony that led to his indictment, pointing to "irregularities" in those grand jury proceedings.
In a court filing Monday, David Hearn's attorneys requested an order for the government to turn over a complete transcript of all grand jury proceedings. They also want prosecutors to disclose the legal instructions they gave to grand jurors about the elements of Hearn's alleged crime.
Hearn pleaded not guilty earlier this month to one felony count of property destruction and has a trial scheduled to start Sept. 28 in D.C. Superior Court. The charge, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years upon conviction, accuses Hearn of causing at least $1,000 in damage to the pool.
But his lawyers question whether prosecutors properly presented the grand jury with adequate evidence to support the amount of damage alleged in Hearn's indictment. A National Park Service official testified that the pool already was damaged before Hearn allegedly touched it, couldn't quantify any damage attributable to Hearn and said the same repairs would have been required regardless of his conduct, defense attorneys said.
"The witness's testimony established that the pool had substantial preexisting damage requiring repair before any alleged conduct by Mr. Hearn," his lawyers wrote. "According to the witness, the pool was leaking more than one million gallons of water per week; its expansion joints had exceeded their service life; and the liner already contained a rip."

The director of the country's premier American history museum said she has no regrets about any of the museum's exhibits during her tenure after an expert confronted her with a "shocking" display that he said smeared Founding Father Benjamin Franklin.
Smithsonian National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig faced intense questioning from lawmakers during two Capitol Hill hearings this week. The hearings followed a White House Domestic Policy Council report accusing the museum of using taxpayer dollars and its status as a world-renowned institution to advance a "radical activist ideology."
During a House hearing Tuesday, Heritage Foundation expert Mike Gonzalez testified that a multiyear special exhibit, "The Electric Dr. Franklin," included a display that "pondered whether he had ever done experiments, electrical electroshock on indentured servants or slaves."

Gonzalez testified that the display included this suggestion "without producing any evidence whatsoever," which he called "shocking."

Former Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold has an arraignment hearing before a judge in Tampa scheduled for Aug. 13, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. He faces eight felony charges of kidnapping and robbery from his arrest last month.
The Lions released Arnold a day before he posted a $1 million bond and left the Hillsborough County (Florida) jail.
He was arrested on four counts each of kidnapping and armed robbery, which could bring a life sentence if he is convicted.
The former first-round pick has drawn interest from the Colts, Jets, Seahawks and Texans, his agent, Nicole Lynn, testified before a judge on July 10. He remains a free agent as training camps begin to open.

Jennifer Garner has developed a "Stockholm syndrome thing" with the paparazzo who has followed her for the past two decades.
During the latest episode of the Shut Up Evan podcast, host Evan Ross Katz asked the 13 Going on 30 actress whether tabloid photographers have left her alone since she started campaigning for tougher anti-paparazzi laws designed to protect the children of celebrities.
Garner and Halle Berry testified before the California **** embly Judiciary Committee in August 2013, with the bill passed later that year.
In response, the Alias star shared that she has two photographers that follow her most days, with one "main guy" that she's grown to have an "odd respect" for.
"Like, there's kind of a Stockholm syndrome thing," she said. "And at the same time, I've called the cops on him a million times and been like, 'Can you please just give me a walk around the block with my kids and my dog?'"
Stockholm syndrome refers to when a kidnapped person forms a psychological connection with their captor and starts to sympathise with them.

Laughing Water Capital, an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. The second quarter was exceptionally good for the portfolio, with Class A investment in Laughing Water Capital returning approximately 39.8% net of all fees and expenses, bringing the YTD return to approximately 33.6% net. The SP500TR and R2000 returned approximately 15.0% and 21.5%, respectively, in the second quarter. The impressive performance was driven by three of the top five positions being acquired, with its largest position nearly doubling during the quarter. The letter emphasizes that patience can often lead to profits in an inefficient market characterized by fluctuations, suggesting that investing in undervalued stocks can yield good long-term returns. In addition, please check the portfolio's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Laughing Water Capital highlighted NextNav Inc. (NASDAQ:NN). Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, NextNav Inc. (NASDAQ:NN) is a technology company that specializes in positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) solutions that offer Pinnacle, an accurate altitude service for public safety applications. On July 14, 2026, NextNav Inc. (NASDAQ:NN) closed at $15.30 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $2.09 billion. NextNav Inc. (NASDAQ:NN) posted a one-month return of -17.34%, while its shares gained 0.66% over the past 52 weeks.
Laughing Water Capital stated the following regarding NextNav Inc. (NASDAQ:NN) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"NextNav Inc. (NASDAQ:NN) – NextNav, our terrestrial backup to GPS / spectrum play remains in limbo as we await a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that will allow Nextnav to use its wireless spectrum for 5G communication. Despite the regulatory delay, the company has made significant progress in cleaning up its balance sheet. Notably, during the quarter the company's ****** warrants were called and convertible debt was converted to equity. In the near-term events such as these can weigh on share price due to arbitrage opportunities and hedging. However, in the intermediate term when the quants that dominate the markets next see a Nextnav balance sheet they will be looking at a cash rich company rather than a highly levered company. It would not surprise me to see short covering on this change.
Moving away from trading dynamics and toward political tea leaves, during the quarter Nextnav CEO Miriam Sorond testified in front of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications & Technology, alongside representatives of several of the groups that oppose Nextnav's plan. Not surprisingly the opposition warned of interference risks if Nextnav's plan is granted, while Sorond noted that recent real-world testing showed no interference. Following this meeting Nextnav asked the FCC for permission to run tests that

The Seattle Seahawks have been relatively clean when it comes to off the field issues, particularly arrests these past few years. The last time an active Seahawk was arrested was back in 2022 when Geno Smith was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and reckless driving. Smith did not face any charges after that arrest. However, this recent clean slate may come to an end if a recent report ends up brewing into something more.
According to Pro Football Talk, agent Nicole Lynn testified that her client, free agent cornerback Terrion Arnold, has seen interest around the NFL, including from Seattle. The entire testimony stated that the Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, Houston Texans, and the Seahawks have all shown interest. The Texans were also noted to have worked out Arnold. Adam Schefter confirmed that Arnold took a physical with the Texans and that he will visit two more teams next week. Lynn further testified that there is a "very good likelihood" that Arnold will sign with a team within the next 45 days.
There is a lot to unpack with these reports. First, the legal issues that Arnold is currently facing, and may face in the future. Second, what a potential Arnold addition could do to help (or hurt) the Seahawks on the field. And third, would fans even want to add Arnold considering what he is accused of doing.
Arnold was arrested earlier this summer on felony charges of armed robbery and kidnapping. In Florida, these charges carry a maximum penalty of up to life in prison. Authorities accused Arnold of orchestrating the abduction and beating of three men whom prosecutors believe were wrongly suspected of stealing luxury goods and $100,000 in cash from Arnold's AirBnB rental in Florida. Prosecutors further claim that although Arnold was not present at the time of the abduction and beating, he directed his ***** ociates to hold, beat, and pistol-whip the victims.
After turning himself in to authorities, Arnold was released from custody after posting bond. One condition of this release was that Arnold must be confined to his residence in Florida except when he would be playing, training, and traveling with an NFL team, or if he was making court-related appearances or legal appointments. Essentially Arnold would be allowed to workout for other NFL teams as well as participate in training camp, preseason, and other football activities. However, this will not be with the Detroit Lions, who released Arnold shortly after his arrest earlier this summer.

As former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold faces multiple felony charges, his agent revealed there are four teams that have shown some interest in him.
According to the Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett, Nicole Lynn, who is Arnold's agent, testified in a virtual court hearing on Friday that the Houston Texans, New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks and Indianapolis Colts have all been in contact with Arnold to some extent.
The Texans have actually brought Arnold in for a workout, Lynn said, and one other unnamed team has scheduled a visit with the Alabama product. It would appear for now that the other two squads have simply reached out to Arnold.

Arnold's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, told the court in an earlier hearing that there were three teams interested in his client but did not name them specifically.

Four NFL teams have expressed an interest in former Detroit Lion cornerback Terrion Arnold since he was released from the Lions in late June, his agent revealed Friday during a court hearing.
Nicole Lynn, Arnold's agent, testified during a Zoom hearing on Friday in Hillsborough County Circuit Court in Tampa that the four teams are the Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks, and Houston Texans.
She said Arnold had a workout with the Houston Texans on Thursday, where the team paid for him to fly in, and he had another visit this week and has one next week as well.
Arnold's attorney asked a judge to deny a request by Florida prosecutors to require Arnold to wear a GPS tether while he faces criminal charges related to an armed robbery and kidnapping plot that happened in Tampa in February. He's one of seven people who have been charged.
Harvey Steinberg, Arnold's attorney, said last week that three teams had already expressed an interest in Arnold, but that's now grown to four. A judge on Friday denied prosecutors' request to require the cornerback to wear a GPS tether.

PROVO, Utah — A towel and screwdriver recovered during the investigation into Charlie Kirk's ***** assination allegedly had his suspected killer Tyler Robinson's DNA on it — along with that of his former lover and roommate, Lance Twiggs.
Robinson, 23, allegedly used the towel to conceal the suspected murder weapon in the woods near Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025.
He is accused of fatally shooting the 31-year-old Kirk during a Turning Point USA event at the school that day.
Charlie Kirk's Family Comes Face To Face With Accused ***** assin For First Time
It's unclear what the screwdriver was for, but police testified at Robinson's preliminary hearing this week that they found it near an alleged sniper's perch overlooking the TPUSA event.

PROVO, Utah (AP) — A former campus police officer testified Monday that he found an apparent "sniper pad" on a rooftop near where Charlie Kirk was ***** assinated, as prosecutors sought to convince a state judge they have enough evidence to put a Utah man on trial for murder.
Former Utah Valley University Officer Christopher Bagley said he witnessed Kirk's shooting while the conservative activist was speaking on Sept. 10 to a crowd of thousands. Soon after, Bagley searched a nearby gravel rooftop, where it appeared someone had been lying ***** e with a clear sightline to Kirk's location, he said.
"It looks like a sniper pad," Bagley said, adding, "you've got markings of elbows, knees and feet."
The testimony came as Kirk's parents, Kathryn and Robert, and his widow, Erika, were in the courtroom for the first time since the case began, along with the president's son Donald Trump Jr.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for defendant Tyler Robinson, 23, who is charged with aggravated murder. Robinson's parents also were present, sitting a few rows behind the Kirks.

PHOENIX (AP) — A polygamous sect leader already serving a 50-year federal prison sentence for orchestrating ****** involving children was convicted Friday on state child abuse charges after girls were found in an unventilated trailer he was hauling through Arizona.
Someone alerted authorities about the trailer in August 2022 after seeing small fingers reaching through gaps in the doors. Police stopped Samuel Bateman's vehicle as he was driving through Flagstaff and found three girls inside, who were ages 11 to 14 at the time. The trailer was enclosed with a makeshift toilet, a sofa and camping chairs.
In the federal case, Bateman was convicted of coercing girls as young as 9 to submit to ****** acts with him and other young adults, and for scheming to kidnap girls from protective custody, the story of which is the focus of a Netflix series, "Trust Me: The False Prophet."
Bateman previously claimed to have more than 20 "spiritual wives," including 10 girls under the age of 18. He testified in his own defense in the state case, telling jurors he would never harm the people he loves. He acknowledged during cross-examination that he knew the girls were in a hot trailer for hours and the ventilation wasn't good, but downplayed the conditions.
"I just trusted myself as a driver," he said. "I asked God to bless me every time we hopped in that vehicle."

Billionaire Bill Gates testified that he never interacted with victims of Jeffrey Epstein but acknowledged that he may have been in their presence, according to a transcript of his closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee released Tuesday.
The Microsoft co-founder maintained in the voluntary interview, which took place on Capitol Hill earlier this month, that his three-year relationship with the convicted ****** offender was strictly professional and that he never witnessed or participated in any ****** ual misconduct.
But Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia pointed out that the panel's investigation has shown that some of Epstein's employees were also abused by the late financier, making it difficult for Gates to rule out that he was never around any of Epstein's victims.
"That's a very good point," said Gates, who acknowledged he saw some of Epstein's female employees at the end of a meeting on one of Epstein's planes. He added, "I may have been in the presence of victims."
As part of the oversight committee's ongoing probe, the panel sought Gates' testimony after the release of additional Epstein files by the Justice Department this year raised questions about his ties to the late convicted ****** offender.

Prosecutors will not try Harvey Weinstein on a rape charge for a fourth time after his accuser said she did not want to testify again

Weinstein was previously found guilty of a criminal ****** ual act, for which prosecutors have recommended a 20-year sentence
Harvey Weinstein will not face a fourth New York rape trial after prosecutors dropped an outstanding charge after his previous trial ended in a mistrial.
Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood mogul, had been accused of raping hairstylist Jessica Mann, who testified at the previous three trials.

The housekeeper attacked by a security dog at Chris Brown's Los Angeles mansion wept on the witness stand as she described the mauling.
She claims the attack nearly five years ago left her with severe injuries to her arm and face, extensive and painful scarring, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
"I will never be the same again," Maria Avila told jurors in a California courtroom.
She testified that surgeons harvested so much skin from her abdomen to graft onto her arm, she was unable to bend at the waist during her lengthy recovery.
The lacerations to her face required dozens of sutures, and she had to spend five days in the hospital alone because pandemic restrictions barred visitors, she recalled.
Avila testified that the attack had robbed her of her physical confidence, her livelihood, and her sense of safety. She said she is now afraid of all dogs, and that nerve damage and chronic sensitivity on her left side make it difficult to sleep and perform routine daily tasks.

MCKINNEY, Texas (AP) — A Texas teenager who fatally stabbed a 17-year-old track athlete from a rival team during a high school meet was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison on Tuesday in a case that drew wide attention beyond the booming Dallas suburb where they were students. A jury rejected Karmelo Anthony's claims of self-defense during a confrontation with Austin Metcalf in stadium bleachers last year. Most people who testified were students who described a heated exchange over Anthony's refusal on a rainy spring day to leave a tent that belonged to Metcalf's team.
Anthony, now 19, did not testify at trial and only his mother took the stand during the sentencing phase, telling jurors her son was sorry.
Notoriety about the case spread, in part, because of a flood of social media posts that amplified the killing in racial terms. Anthony is Black; Metcalf was white. Lawyers on both sides, however, told jurors that the tragedy had nothing to do with race.
Jeff Metcalf, Austin's father, had also denounced those who sought to stoke racial divisions after his son was killed. A year later, he said again in a Collin County courtroom that it was never about race while his voice swelled with anger over the death of his son.
"You failed your parents, you failed yourself and you failed society," said Metcalf, looking at Anthony after the teenager was sentenced.

Protests over poor living conditions for detainees at Delaney Hall immigration detention center erupted over the weekend, leading to the arrest of over 80 people, the ****** ociated Press reported on Saturday. Some of the protesters arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are accused of ****** aulting law enforcement officers, obstruction, and threats. But questions remain about whether the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) enforcement policies violate the First Amendment and chill speech on the ongoing public debate over immigration policies.
The crackdown on protesters is not surprising given Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin's statements during congressional hearings last week, in which he took a hard line against violent protesters. During a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing on June 3, Mullin testified that he is "OK with protest," so long as it is done "in a peaceful way, in a legal area." However, Mullin ****** erted, he has "zero tolerance" for individuals who "verbally ****** ault our officers," "go after our vehicles," or "assault our property." "You ****** ault one of our officers, we will find you. We will arrest you," he continued.
While Mullin is right that the destruction of government property and ****** aulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers are both federal crimes, there is no such thing as "verbally ****** aulting" an officer under the law, Aaron Terr, the director of public advocacy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), tells Reason.
Under the First Amendment, individuals are free "to criticize, mock, or disparage law enforcement officers" who "have no greater right than anyone else to be shielded from offense or criticism," Terr explains. "In fact, the Supreme Court has recognized that properly trained officers are expected to show even more restraint than the average citizen when confronted with provocative or challenging speech."
"The First Amendment's broad protections are essential to preserving the public's ability to criticize and hold accountable those entrusted with enforcing the law," Terr says, which is why speech is generally protected "unless the speech falls into one of the narrow categories of unprotected expression."

Nick Saban is widely regarded as one of the greatest head coaches in the history of college football. He is famously known for coaching the Alabama Crimson Tide football program, where he earned most of his success and fame.
He currently works as an ESPN ******* yst and covers college football. He has recently involved himself in a high-profile legal case in the country’s college football framework.
Recently, on June 3, 2026, Saban testified before the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee in support of the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act. The legislation seeks to establish national standards for NIL deals, limit athlete transfers to one without penalty, cap eligibility at five years, restrict mid-season coaching changes, and grant the NCAA stronger enforcement authority.
Saban has criticized the NIL, as he believes that it has become a pay-for-play system driven by collectives. He has urged the government to intervene and take charge of the situation. After his testimony, many critics attacked him as they felt like he did not want college athletes to be making money.
Soon after, his daughter Kristen posted a detailed Instagram statement on her story to defend her father’s statement. She wrote, “The issue is whether the current NIL system is sustainable for college athletics as a whole, NOT about how much coaches make. Most people don’t realize that football revenue funds far more than football. It helps support women’s sports, Olympic sports, golf, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, softball, baseball, track and field, and countless opportunities for student-athletes who will never make millions.”

Ex-NFL player faces $50 million wrongful death lawsuit after murder charge

Former NFL player Darron Lee is facing a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit after being charged with the murder of his girlfriend earlier this month.
The complaint was filed in Hamilton County Circuit Court by the family of Gabriella Carvalho Perpétuo -- the victim of the murder -- according to News Channel 9 in Chattanooga, Tenn.
The filing states that Lee intentionally and violently ***** aulted Perpétuo, per News 9.

A formal debate over lawmaker stock trading got underway on Capitol Hill this past week and injected a new term into the now years-long debate: pre-disclosure.
As lawmakers outlined it, pre-disclosure of stock trades could provide a way to limit congressional day trading while still allowing lawmakers to play the market.
"I think pre-disclosure is something that we ought to consider," offered the Manhattan Institute's James Copland as he testified before the House Administration Committee on Wednesday.
He later noted, "This is exactly what happens in certain types of corporate situations."
