Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested last Monday at a UCLA athletic facility, where he was apparently working out with his son, who plays on the university's football team. The charges were serious: battery, three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and making terroristic threats. The deadly weapon in question was a kettlebell -- an exercise weight with a handle.

Charges against University of Virginia student dropped
When someone is facing a criminal charge it may feel as though they do not have any options. While it is understandable why someone might feel that way the reality is they do have options regarding how to defend themselves. That first option involves securing the assistance of a criminal defense lawyer. Seeking the assistance of a legal professional could have a major impact on the outcome of your case.
Virginia man acquitted of murder and related charges
When someone is charged with a crime there are several ways in which the matter might be resolved. One of those ways is via a trial. In the course of this type of legal proceeding both sides have the opportunity to present evidence that supports their side. This evidence takes multiple forms including physical evidence and witness testimony. The case will be decided depending on what is presented at trial. A murder trial in Virginia was recently resolved this way.
Supreme Court reverses conviction based on Facebook threats
Facebook and other social media platforms are a part of many people’s lives. Each day people update their statuses to reflect what is going on in their lives and how they are feeling. Accordingly, the nature of those statuses runs the gamut. Sometimes they are happy while other times they may express displeasure or anger. In addition to using their own words, some people look to song lyrics to communicate their feelings. A man living in another state who did this faced criminal repercussions and his case eventually made its way to the Supreme Court. A decision was recently reached regarding the case.
