After 2 Years, Florida Court Defines Sexual Intercourse

... with not disclosing that he was HIV-positive before having sex with his partner. Court records show Debaun's partner asked him to take an HIV test, and that Debaun, who knew he was infected, provided fake results showing he was free of the virus that causes AIDS. A lower court threw out the charge, but it was reinstated upon appeal. The case will now go back to the trial court. "It's been a long time coming," said Assistant State Attorney Colleen Dunn, who originally brought the charges against Debaun in Key West nearly six years ago. "When they created this statute, they never thought that a definition of sexual intercourse would come into such play.". In Florida, it is a separate offense to transmit HIV if a person aware of their infection doesn't reveal it before sexual intercourse. Dunn said Debaun hasn't been charged with infecting his partner. Debaun's attorney, Brian Ellison, ...

Health Bill Short Of Votes, Gop Leaders Look To Trump

... tax credits and require able-bodied Medicaid recipients to meet work requirements. The provisions seemed a window into votes that leaders think may be needed to win support from conservatives. "Anyone not willing to work, let him not eat," asserted Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, in support of the Medicaid work requirement, saying he was citing scripture. House conservatives say they are negotiating some changes directly with the White House, cutting out House GOP leaders, while rebellious GOP senators were stoking the opposition. Nevertheless, House Speaker Paul Ryan tried to strike an optimistic tone as he addressed reporters Thursday for his weekly press briefing. "We feel like we're making great strides and great progress on getting a bill that can pass," Ryan said. But Ryan did not ...

Latinos Report Fewer Sex Crimes Amid Immigration Fears

... reports of violent crime, including homicides, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults, made by Latinos in January 2017, compared to the year before. Immigrant advocates counter that the unease of those living in the U. S. illegally is forcing victims of violent crimes to fear that any interaction with police could cause them or their loved ones to be deported. "My sense is that people are terrified and that is not an exaggeration," said Marisa Cianciarulo, a law professor who runs a domestic violence clinic for immigrants at Chapman University. "These are historically underreported crimes and there are even fewer of them being reported.". Cianciarulo said victims have not only said they fear reporting the crimes to the police could land them on the radar of federal immigration officials but also are afraid that their attackers will report them as living in the U. S. illegally. Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim Mc Donnell told The Associated Press earlier this month ...

Trump Seeks Health Care Triumph _ So He Can Move On

... begins April 10. The Republican bill has generated plenty of opposition. Members of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus oppose it because they say it doesn't go far enough to undo Obamacare. Some moderate GOP members, meanwhile, are wary of a recent Congressional Budget Office analysis predicting 24 million people would lose coverage in a decade. The battle over the bill was enough to rattle the stock market Tuesday as the Standard & Poor's 500 index slumped 1.1 percent, its steepest loss in five months. The stock market had been soaring in the wake of Trump's election, a major point of pride for the administration that has touted lower taxes as key for accelerating economic growth. But the showdown over replacing Obamacare has investors starting to question whether Trump can deliver on their top priority: promised rate cuts for corporate and individual taxes. Trump's ends-justifies-the-means argument echoes one being made by business groups in Washington, who are ...

Black Lawmakers Say They Had Candid Conversation With Trump

... a promise of future dialogue and a discussion about "divisive rhetoric," it seemed that there was little change in either the White House's mind or the minds of the leadership of the Congressional Black Caucus on issues like the president's approach to health care, police misconduct investigations, criminal justice, education or funding for historically black colleges and universities. "He listened and we talked and we proposed a lot of solutions, many of which I think he had not heard before. We'll keep advocating," said Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., caucus chairman, who presented the White House with written copies of the group's history and agenda.
