He cursed out judge, prosecutor, and allegedly threw a punch at his lawyer in court. Now this Antioch murder suspect has a new attorney

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:11:17 GMT

MARTINEZ — The prosecution of Ramello Randle has been anything but smooth sailing.The 28-year-old Oakland man tried to serve as his own attorney last year, but the trial ended after he told the judge, “I’m not your b—-,” wished death upon the prosecutor and loudly declared that police and the district attorney were “f—ing framing me” for the murder of his child’s mother.The courtroom outburst caused a mistrial but cost Randle his pro per status, allowing the courts to force him to accept representation by a private attorney.Since then, somehow, things have only gotten worse.At a Sept. 15 court appearance, Randle allegedly took a swing at his own lawyer, tripped in the process, and was quickly handcuffed and carted off to jail by courtroom deputies, according to multiple sources with firsthand knowledge. The attorney, a former DA candidate named Lawrence Strauss, was uninjured.The attempted courtroom attack came, ironically, durin...

Making sense of Grimes’ child custody claims against Elon Musk

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:11:17 GMT

It turns out that even Elon Musk and Grimes are vulnerable to ordinary human hassles like child custody disputes, as evidenced by the ethereal singer going to court to sue the billionaire over a matter regarding their three young children and her petition to establish “a parental relationship.”During their three-year relationship, Musk and Grimes (who’s known in court documents by her real name Claire Boucher), tried to portray themselves as intellectually superior beings who presumably were highly evolved on matters of the heart and procreation.But the publicly available records in San Francisco Superior Court suggest that the Tesla CEO and his ex-girlfriend are just like other aggrieved ex-partners. They’re having trouble working out how to co-parent their children, who, in their case, are ages 3 and under and bear the highly unusual, space-age names X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl and Tau Techno Mechanicus.Indeed, reports and Grimes’ since-deleted social...
