The world's longest-serving death row prisoner was acquitted by a Japanese court on Thursday, more than half a century after his 1968 murder conviction. The Shizuoka District Court ruled that 88-year-old Iwao Hakamada was not guilty in a retrial obtained by the former boxer and his supporters a decade ago. 'The court finds the defendant innocent,' judge Koshi Kunii said. Hakamada's health is delicate and he was not present in court, but his 91-year-old sister Hideko, who often speaks for him, bowed deeply to Kunii several times. Until he was freed in 2014 pending retrial, Hakamada had been on death row for 46 years after being convicted of killing his boss, the man's wife and their two teenage children.
Porn-again Christians: Former pastors become OnlyFans stars who film lesbian romps for their followers
An ex-priest and former missionary who gave up their holy lives have become OnlyFans stars who film lesbian romps for their followers. Former Brazilian pastor Ana Akiva, 36, teamed up with another ex-missionary, Andressa Urach after subscribers begged them to shoot movies together. Akiva revealed she already had an eye for Urach after they met during Brazil's Miss Bumbum contest - a beauty pageant that recognises the top buttocks in the South American nation. Speaking to the adult website Quem, the former holy woman said: 'I had already tried it on with Andressa at the time of Miss Bumbum. 'But she was dating so it didn't happen. But now the time has come.'
Putin's chilling new nuke threat: Russia lowers threshold of when it can launch a nuclear strike in fresh warning to the West - just days after pro-Kremlin TV channel's simulated attack of London
The despot, 71, announced yesterday during a meeting of Russia's Security Council that he needed to 'correct' Moscow's nuclear doctrine. Putin could now deploy his nuclear arsenal if the country was struck with conventional missiles, and the Kremlin chief said Moscow would consider any assault supported by a nuclear power as a joint attack. He said the conditions for the use of nuclear weapons are 'clearly fixed' and they could consider such a move if 'we receive reliable information about a massive launch of air and space attack assets and them crossing our state border'. The expansion of the policy comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in the US to present his 'victory plan' and press the case to use long-range missiles on targets inside Putin's territory.
