Virginia State

RICHMOND, Va. (CN) —The Court of Appeals of Virginia on Tuesday voided a Marine's adoption of an Afghan war orphan that caused international concern. "Well-meaning intentions and emergency circumstances are not enough to grant a court the authority or power to complete an adoption," Judge Daniel Ortiz wrote in the 23-page opinion. "This is especially true when a child is physically present in a foreign country — here, Afghanistan — that has not waived jurisdiction."

Harrisburg, PA

HARRISBURG, Penn. — An appeals court in Pennsylvania reversed the lower court’s decision to dismiss a third-degree murder charge pinned on a bar security job who fatally punched an intoxicated bar patron. His counsel said the single punch couldn’t possibly convey malice, an element needed to meet the charge, but the facts indicate otherwise: He punched the victim unprovoked and had lied to the bar manager, saying the patron merely fell to the ground on his own.

AUSTIN, Texas — A federal court in Texas allows part of a father’s civil rights lawsuit to proceed against Williamson County, its sheriff’s department and the producers behind the reality TV show “Live PD.” Because the show was so integrated into the department’s operations — deputies would get gift cards as an incentive for appearing on TV — they allegedly decided not to arrest the man’s son at a hearing and instead filmed a dramatic raid on the family home, scaring the family and humiliating them. His conspiracy claim may proceed.
