Was Ex police officer Derek Chauvin wrongly convicted !
You may be using "the law" as an informal synonym for the "court system" or "judicial system." In any case, O. J. Simpson was found "not guilty" by the jury, which means the prosecutor did not establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. In the U.S., defendants in criminal trials are presumed innocent and are found guilty or not guilty. There's no verdict of "innocent." The burden of proof is always on the prosecution to establish guilt. A defendant does not have to prove his innocence. Please note: this applies to criminal trials before a judge or judge and jury. Different rules apply in civil trials or on appeal of a criminal trial verdict to a higher court. -

No reliable conformation that I know of. They might have damaged or destroyed infrastructure related to nuclear facilities, but not the actual installation. Iran has recovered from the Stuxnet attack and are on a tear with their enrichment program. -

Heart Check -
I read some time back at Mayo Clinic USA that a calcium score of +400 should be of concern, this was also stated to me at the hospital in Thailand when my CT score showed +2000, they suggested that I should have further test possible leading to a stent. This I declined instead seeking a 2nd and a 3rd opinion by heart consultants in the UK. Who informed me not to worry and just live my life as usual. I would add that I have also had the exercise stress test with no problems. -

Trump Mulls Action Against Iran’s Nuclear Program
Donald Trump, is reportedly deliberating a potential American response to Iran’s advancing nuclear program. A report by the *Wall Street Journal*, suggests that an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities is under serious consideration, particularly in the aftermath of Bashar al-Assad's fall in Syria, which has weakened the Iranian axis in the region. Trump is said to have expressed concern to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the possibility of an Iranian nuclear breakout occurring during his presidency. According to individuals familiar with their discussions, Trump conveyed his apprehensions while exploring potential strategies to address the escalating situation. Despite these concerns, the president-elect is reportedly reluctant to commit to a large-scale military conflict that would involve deploying U.S. forces on the ground. Instead, Trump is considering alternative approaches. Among these is the idea of bolstering military presence in the Middle East, including deploying additional forces, warplanes, and ships, as well as supplying Israel with advanced bunker-busting bombs. Such weapons are widely regarded as essential for penetrating Iran’s deeply fortified nuclear facilities, which are resistant to conventional airstrikes. Another strategy under review involves leveraging military threats in tandem with heightened U.S. sanctions to pressure Iran into a diplomatic resolution. This echoes the "maximum pressure" campaign Trump employed during his previous presidency, though that initiative failed to produce the desired outcome. As Trump weighs his options, reports indicate that Israel views this as an opportune moment for a decisive strike against Iran’s nuclear capabilities. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have reportedly ramped up their preparations for such an operation. Israeli media suggest that the fall of Assad in Syria has significantly weakened Iran's regional position, while Israeli forces have established air superiority by dismantling Syria’s robust air defense systems. “The Syrian air defense array is one of the strongest in the Middle East, and the blow caused to it is a significant achievement for the air force’s superiority in the region,” the IDF stated. This development has left a clear path for Israeli fighter jets, heightening the potential for a military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites. Prime Minister Netanyahu has long maintained a hardline stance on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, issuing repeated warnings that Israel will not permit Tehran to develop nuclear weapons. In a video address on Thursday, Netanyahu appeared to hint at broader ambitions to undermine Iran's Islamic regime. Speaking directly to the Iranian people, he expressed optimism about a future free from the current regime. “Women, life, freedom, zan, zendegi, azadi. That is the future of Iran. That is the future of peace. And I have no doubt that we will realize that future together a lot sooner than people think,” Netanyahu declared. Based on a report by Daily Telegraph 2024-12-14
