Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:48:13 GMT

The defense team for a former Hialeah Police officer accused of beating a homeless man asked a judge for a mistrial. Officer Rafael Otano is accused of kidnapping and beating Jose Ortega Gutierrez, along with former Officer Lorenzo Orfila, on Dec. 17, 2022.During the fifth day of the trial on Friday, the defense said that the state was confusing the jury by putting the officer on trial for policy violations rather than the crime itself. The state said no report was made about the incident at all, which ultimately broke policy.The defense argued that they couldn’t point the finger at Officer Otano for the assault.“When you put a police officer on trial, if you commit the state to bring in evidence against policy violations; didn’t turn on the body cam, didn’t fill out this report, didn’t call a sergeant, all those things, basically a jury can convict him for alleged kidnapping and some other alleged serious crimes based upon elements, violation...

Even just looking at his eyes, it’s just like when you look at a newborn and they just take in the whole universe with every blink,” Staples told CNN of Kaius, the wide-eyed baby gorilla he’s reared from birth.In the early months, Kaius slept in Staples’ bedroom, and the zookeeper regularly fed him milk and changed his diapers – a difficult task to perform on a primate that’s much stronger than a human baby and able to grip with both his hands and feet.“With a baby, you’ve only got to deal with some little hands that might help, but with a gorilla, he was really right into making it very difficult,” he said. “I just laughed I thought, ‘Oh my goodness.’”As he got older, Kaius would cl...
