Five people have been charged in Matthew Perry's death. It looks as if Tim Walz and JD Vance are heading for the debate stage. And does having a Disney+ subscription mean you can't ever sue Disney? |
👋Hello! Laura Davis here. Ready for Thursday's news? Me too. Let's do this. |
Criminal charges in Matthew Perry's overdose death |
A doctor and a personal assistant were among five people who have been charged in connection to "Friends" star Matthew Perry's death from "the acute effects of ketamine" last October, officials said Thursday. |
What we know: A doctor, 42-year-old Salvador Plasencia, and Perry's live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, 59, are facing charges. Laying out the moments that led to Perry's death, official said the defendants were involved in acquiring and administering the ketamine to Perry, and then trying "to cover up what they did." 👉 Everything we know so far. | Actor Matthew Perry at a CBS Studios event in West Hollywood, California, in 2015.

Hurricane Ernesto strengthens |
After battering Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Hurricane Ernesto on Thursday churned in the western Atlantic toward Bermuda, threatening to intensify into a major hurricane before reaching the British territory. |
What's going on: As of Thursday afternoon, Ernesto, now a Category 1 hurricane, was 550 miles south-southwest of Bermuda with sustained winds of 85 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. Moving at 14 mph, the storm was expected to begin dumping heavy rain over Bermuda on Friday before passing near or over the island Saturday. 🌀 See the full forecast. |
When the fine print is less than fine |
Walt Disney Co. is trying to toss out a widower's wrongful death lawsuit, arguing he agreed to settle any disputes with the entertainment giant and any of its affiliates out of court when he signed up for a free trial of its streaming service Disney+. |
What happened? In February, Jeffrey Piccolo sued Walt Disney Parks and Resorts after his wife, who was allergic to nuts and dairy, experienced a severe allergic reaction and died after dining at a restaurant at Walt Disney World. But Disney lawyers said the matter should be referred to an outside arbitrator because when Piccolo signed up for Disney+ and when he bought tickets to EPCOT on the Disney website, he agreed in the terms and conditions to arbitrate all disputes against the company. And experts say many other consumers may be unwittingly signing away their legal rights when they "agree" to the fine print on everyday purchases. 👉 Here's what we know. | | | | Gymnast Jordan Chiles said she believes "the people in control will do the right thing" regarding the saga surrounding her Olympic bronze medal. | | | | About 100 people gathered for the service, which featured civil rights attorney Ben Crump. | | | | The Biden administration said Medicare negotiated discounts with pharmaceutical companies on 10 drugs prescribed to treat cancer and heart disease. | | | | Glynn Simmons, who served the longest-known sentence from a wrongful conviction, settled with Edmond, Oklahoma, for $7.15 million, his lawyers said. | | | | A lawsuit filed has accused gas station chain Buc-ee's of negligence after a man allegedly tripped over ropes tying down its inflatable beaver mascot. | | | | Mamta Kafle, 28, was last seen July 31 in Manassas Park, Virginia.
