Virginia Circuit Court May Seal Indictments Until Defendant's Arrest

Virginia Circuit Court May Seal Indictments Until Defendant's Arrest

In Virginia, a circuit court has the authority to seal an indictment until the defendant is arrested. This action can be taken upon an ex parte motion by the Commonwealth, provided that good cause is shown. An ex parte motion means that the motion is made by one party without notice to, or in the absence of, the other party. The provision for sealing indictments is outlined in Virginia Code § 19.2-192.1. This legal mechanism allows for the confidentiality of an indictment, which is a formal accusation of criminal activity, during the period between its issuance by a grand jury and the apprehension of the accused individual. The purpose of sealing an indictment is typically to prevent the defendant from fleeing or tampering with evidence once they become aware of the charges against them. The law specifies that this sealing remains in effect until the point of arrest, after which the indictment would presumably become public.

Debate Continues on Defining and Regulating Processed Foods Amid Health Concerns

Debate Continues on Defining and Regulating Processed Foods Amid Health Concerns

The term 'processed food' is causing confusion among consumers and researchers due to its broad definition, which includes both unhealthy items like soda and candy, and healthier options such as canned beans, frozen fruit, whole-grain bread, plain yogurt, and fortified foods. This lack of clarity makes it difficult to assess the nutritional quality of food products based solely on whether they are labeled 'processed.' Recent observational studies have linked diets high in ultra-processed foods to increased health risks, including prostate cancer and type 2 diabetes. However, these studies often do not account for other dietary factors, such as the intake of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, which could influence the interpretation of the findings. Researchers are still debating how ultra-processed foods should be precisely defined, and it remains unclear whether the processing itself or other associated factors are responsible for the observed health outcomes.

Ninth Circuit Clarifies DMCA Liability for AI-Generated Code, Dismissing Programmers' Claims

Ninth Circuit Clarifies DMCA Liability for AI-Generated Code, Dismissing Programmers' Claims

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld the dismissal of claims brought by software programmers against GitHub, Microsoft, and OpenAI under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The programmers alleged that GitHub Copilot and OpenAI’s Codex violated DMCA Section 1202(b) by reproducing their copyrighted code without including copyright management information (CMI), such as original authors or licensing terms. The court concluded that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that the AI tools actively removed or altered CMI from existing works. Instead, the court found that the AI models generated new code that simply lacked CMI, rather than stripping it from pre-existing code. This decision distinguishes between claims concerning a model's inputs (removal of CMI before training) and its outputs (reproduction of material without CMI). The court also rejected the district court's prior ruling that challenged copies must be identical to the original works to sustain a DMCA claim, stating that min...

ICC Tribunal Flags $500,000 Transfer to Atiku's Then-Wife, Finds Ex-AGF Malami Acted Against Nigeria's Interest in Mambilla Deal

ICC Tribunal Flags $500,000 Transfer to Atiku's Then-Wife, Finds Ex-AGF Malami Acted Against Nigeria's Interest in Mambilla Deal

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration tribunal has issued a 616-page final award concerning the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project dispute, making significant findings against former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and flagging a $500,000 transfer to Jennifer Douglas, then-wife of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar. The tribunal concluded that Malami deliberately acted against Nigeria's interest, maintained an inappropriate relationship with Leno Adesanya, promoter of Sunrise Power and Transmission Company Limited, and participated in a corrupt deal related to settlement agreements. The tribunal rejected Sunrise's claims against Nigeria, ruling that settlement agreements signed by Malami and former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, were not binding due to lack of presidential approval and were unenforceable as products of corruption. The tribunal also ordered Sunrise and Adesanya to reimburse Nigeria $11.82 million in legal fees and $414,125...
