RIP

A man who spent 16 years in prison for a wrongful conviction was shot to death by Georgia police during a traffic stop ... and it was all caught on video.

Leonard Cure was pulled over in his pickup truck by a sheriff's deputy Monday morning after he was clocked going over 100 miles per hour in a 70 MPH zone on Interstate 95 in Camden County, GA.

Police dashboard and body cam footage released Wednesday caught every bit of the violence that led to Cure's death.

Check it out ... the deputy orders Cure out of his truck and tells him to place his hands on the rear of the vehicle.

Cure insists he's done nothing wrong and yanks his arm away as the deputy tries to grab it. The deputy then pulls his TASER and again demands Cure put his hands on the truck.

This time Cure complies, but the deputy then asks him to move his hands behind his back.

Cure becomes agitated and starts questioning why he was pulled over in the first place.

The deputy informs Cure he's under arrest for speeding and reckless driving.

The two get into an argument, which quickly escalates to a point where the deputy TASES Cure.

Cure freezes from the electroshock before rushing at the deputy while flailing his arms. The deputy ends up fatally shooting Cure after a vicious fight.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued a statement, explaining that Cure assaulted the deputy and failed to comply with his orders.

But attorney Ben Crump, who represents the Cure family, said the deputy acted too aggressively and should have done a better job de-escalating the heated confrontation.

As for Cure's wrongful conviction, a jury found him guilty of armed robbery with a firearm and assault with a firearm in 2004, even though he had an alibi and no physical evidence tied him to the crimes.

Burt Young -- best known for his role as Paulie in the "Rocky" film franchise -- has died.

The Oscar-nominated actor passed away in Los Angeles on October 8. A cause of death was not disclosed.

His manager told TMZ, “Burt was an actor of tremendous emotional range. He could make you cry and he could scare you to death."

Young appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows during his decades-long career. Some of his most notable flicks included "Chinatown," "Once Upon a Time in America," "Back to School" and "The Pope of Greenwich Village."

He also landed parts in 2 hit TV programs, "M*A*S*H" and "Baretta."

But, Young will always be remembered most for playing Paulie, the rough and tumble brother-in-law of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa.

They starred together in each of the five "Rocky" movies from 1976 to 1990, as well as the final one in the series, "Rocky Balboa," in 2006.

Young received an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of Paulie in 1976, but lost to Jason Robards as Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee in "All The President's Men."

Young was 83.

Burt Young, más conocido por su papel de Paulie en la franquicia cinematográfica "Rocky", ha muerto.

El actor nominado al Oscar falleció en Los Ángeles el 8 de octubre, aunque aún no se ha revelado la causa de muerte.

Su representante declaró al New York Times: "Burt era un actor con un tremendo rango emocional. Podía hacerte llorar y podía darte un susto enorme".

Young apareció en docenas de películas y programas de televisión durante sus décadas de carrera. Algunas de sus películas más notables fueron "Chinatown", "Érase una vez en América", "De vuelta al cole" y "El Papa de Greenwich Village".

También consiguió papeles en dos exitosos programas de televisión, "M*A*S*H" y "Baretta".

Sin embargo, siempre será recordado principalmente por interpretar a Paulie, el rudo cuñado del Rocky Balboa, interpretado por Sylvester Stallone.

Protagonizaron juntos cada una de las cinco películas de "Rocky" de 1976 a 1990, así como la última de la serie, "Rocky Balboa", en 2006.

Young recibió una nominación al Oscar por su interpretación de Paulie en 1976, pero perdió ante Jason Robards como el editor del Washington Post, Ben Bradlee, en "Todos los hombres del presidente".

Young tenía 83 años.

A University of Georgia student tragically passed away over the weekend ... after falling 90 feet while rock climbing at a nature facility in Alabama. She was only 18.

Yutong Zhang -- who went by Faye -- was killed around 12 PM on Oct. 14, the Cherokee County Coroner's Office confirmed to AL.com.

Officials rushed to the scene after Zhang fell at the Cherokee Rock Village ... a park featuring boulders that reach 200 feet.

Zhang was a member of the Active Climbing gym in Athens, Georgia ... and the establishment released a statement on the tragedy, mourning her loss.

"Our thoughts are with Faye's family, friends, and the University of Georgia community at this difficult time," the gym said.

"We join them in mourning this profound loss and honoring the vibrancy, passion, and kindness that she brought into our lives."

"Faye, your spirit will forever be a part of our community. Rest in peace."

The university is also saddened by the passing of Zhang, who was in her first year at UGA.

"Our deepest sympathies go out to the student’s family," UGA spokesman Greg Trevor said, "and we will continue to provide counseling and support to members of our community who have been affected by her passing."

La vida de Natalee Holloway se apagó de una manera enferma y brutal luego de que ella rechazó sexualmente a su asesino, Joran van der Sloot.

En documentos legales, obtenidos por TMZ, van der Sloot admite haber matado a Holloway en una transcripción de una confesión hecha a su abogado, donde expone los últimos minutos de su vida.

Joran dice que él y Natalee estaban caminando por la playa en Aruba después de una noche de fiesta en un bar local. Dice que los dos encontraron un espacio en la arena, se acostaron y empezaron a besarse. Joran le dice a su abogado: "Empiezo a tocarla otra vez y ella me dice que no. Me dijo que no quería que la tocara. Yo insisto. Sigo tocandola de cualquier".

Enojado, Joran dice que Natalee le da un rodillazo en la entrepierna y él se levanta y le da una patada "extremadamente fuerte" en la cara y la deja inconsciente.

En una confesión repugnante, van der Sloot dice que coge un bloque de hormigón y la golpea en la cabeza con él: "Le aplasto la cabeza con él completamente".

Inseguro de qué hacer con su cuerpo, van der Sloot dice que luego la lleva al agua, caminando hasta que está cerca de la rodilla y la empuja hacia fuera en el agua para que se la lleven.

Como hemos informado, van der Sloot estaba en la corte en Alabama el miércoles, donde participó en una declaración de culpabilidad de los cargos de fraude electrónico y extorsión después de decirle a la familia que iba a dar detalles de su muerte por dinero.

Sorprendentemente, van der Sloot ofreció una disculpa a la familia el miércoles, diciendo que había encontrado la religión, pero eso no funcionó con la madre de Holloway —Beth— quien dijo que siempre sería un asesino.

Natalee Holloway's life was ended in a sick and brutal way after she refused sexual advances from her killer, Joran van der Sloot.

In legal docs, obtained by TMZ, van der Sloot admits to killing Holloway in a transcript of a confession made to his attorney ... where he lays out the final minutes of her life.

Joran says he and Natalee were walking along the beach in Aruba after a late night out at a local bar. He says the two found a space on the sand, laid down, and started to kiss. Joran tells his attorney, "I start feeling her up again and she tells me no. She tells me she doesn't want me to - to feel her up. Uh, I insist. I keep feeling her up either way."

Angered by his advances, Joran says Natalee then knees him in the crotch ... and he stands up and kicks her "extremely hard" in the face and knocking her out.

In a sickening confession, van der Sloot then says he grabs a nearby cinder block and smashes her in the head with it ... "I smash her head in with it completely."

Unsure of what to do with her body, van der Sloot says he then carries her into the water, walking until he's about knee-deep and pushes her out into the water to be carried away.

As we reported, van der Sloot was in court in Alabama Wednesday where he entered a guilty plea to charges of wire fraud and extortion after telling the family he'd give up details of her death for money.

Shockingly enough, van der Sloot offered up an apology to the family Wednesday, saying he'd found religion ... but that didn't work with Holloway's mother, Beth, who said he'd always be a killer.

El misterio sobre la famosa desaparición de Natalee Holloway se ha aclarado de una vez por todas, porque el principal sospechoso acaba de admitir que la mató e intentó estafar a su familia.

Joran van der Sloot apareció en un tribunal de Alabama el miércoles, donde los fiscales le dijeron al tribunal que van der Sloot había confesado a los padres de Holloway que había tomado su vida. Al parecer, la apaleó hasta la muerte después de que ella rechazó sus insinuaciones sexuales, esto de acuerdo con la madre de Holloway, Beth, que también habló.

Ella dijo: "Usted no consiguió lo que quería de Natalee, su satisfacción sexual, por lo que brutalmente la mató", añadiendo que él "terminó con sus sueños, su potencial, sus posibilidades". En cuanto a lo que ocurrió con los restos de Natalee (que hasta ahora se desconocía) no se abordó explícitamente en el juicio.

Van der Sloot se declaró culpable de los cargos de fraude electrónico y extorsión a los que se enfrentaba aquí en EE.UU. El caso, aunque indirectamente vinculado a la muerte de Holloway, estaba inextricablemente relacionado con su desaparición.

Curiosamente, van der Sloot expresó remordimiento por el asesinato, diciendo que se había convertido en un cristiano nacido de nuevo, pero la madre de Holloway dijo que siempre sería un asesino sin importar nada.

El caso es un poco complicado, sobre todo porque ella desapareció hace casi 20 años en la isla de Aruba. Los funcionarios en Estados Unidos terminaron acusándolo por tratar de venderle información a la familia de Holloway sobre dónde estaban sus restos, Beth dice que en realidad pagó por desesperación.

Como parte de este acuerdo con la fiscalía, van der Sloot se vio obligado a aclarar finalmente los detalles de la desaparición de Holloway en 2005 y ahora lo ha hecho.

Holloway —que tenía 18 años— estaba en un viaje de graduación de la escuela secundaria en el territorio holandés y los testigos dicen que la vieron salir de un bar con van der Sloot y otros dos hombres, que desde hace tiempo se sospecha que estaban involucrados en el caso.

Los tres hombres fueron detenidos un par de veces durante los últimos años en relación con la desaparición de Holloway, pero también fueron liberados por falta de pruebas. Van der Sloot, sin embargo, es el que ha caído en el punto de mira de los EE.UU., ya que lo acusó en 2010, alegando que había tratado de extorsionar y estafar a la familia Holloway.

Aunque fue acusado en Estados Unidos hace más de una década no había sido extraditado hasta principios de este año, como parte de un acuerdo con el gobierno peruano. Verás, en realidad está cumpliendo una pena de prisión allí por un caso totalmente diferente, donde un tribunal lo declaró culpable de asesinar a otra mujer, Stephany Flores.

De todos modos, una vez que esto se resuelva, se informa que será enviado de vuelta a Perú para terminar su condena, y después de eso, presumiblemente regresará a Estados Unidos para comenzar a cumplir cualquier castigo que reciba como parte de este caso.

La historia de Holloway fue uno de los mayores casos de desaparición en la memoria reciente y su familia la declaró legalmente muerta en 2012 luego de muchos años de no tener respuestas.

The mystery over Natalee Holloway's famous disappearance was cleared up once and for all -- because the prime suspect just admitted he killed her and attempted to defraud her family.

Joran van der Sloot appeared in an Alabama court Wednesday, where prosecutors told the court van der Sloot had confessed to Holloway's parents that he'd taken her life ... apparently, he bludgeoned her to death after she refused his sexual advances -- this according to Holloway's mother, Beth, who also spoke.

She said, "You didn't get what you wanted from Natalee, your sexual satisfaction, so you brutally killed her" -- adding that he "terminated her dreams, her potential, her possibilities."

Beth says van der Sloot admitted to killing Natalee on the beach and putting her body in water.

Van der Sloot entered a guilty plea to charges of wire fraud and extortion that he was facing here in the U.S. case -- while indirectly tied to Holloway's death -- was inextricably linked to her disappearance.

Interestingly enough, van der Sloot expressed remorse for the killing, saying he'd become a born-again Christian -- but Holloway's mother, as she told him that he'd always be a killer ... no matter what.

While van der Sloot might've copped to killing Holloway -- that's not what he'll be punished for here in the U.S. The case is somewhat convoluted -- especially since she first vanished almost 20 years ago on the island of Aruba -- but basically ... officials in America ended up charging him for attempting to sell information to Holloway's family about where her remains are ... which Beth says she actually paid for out of desperation.

As part of this plea deal he struck with the prosecution, van der Sloot was forced to finally clear up the details of Holloway's disappearance in 2005 ... and now he has.

Holloway -- who was 18 -- was on a high school graduation trip in the Dutch territory ... and witnesses say they saw her leaving a bar with van der Sloot and two other men, who have long been suspected to have been involved in whatever it is that happened to her.

The 3 men were arrested a couple different times over the years in connection to Holloway's disappearance -- but they were also cut loose over a lack of evidence. Van der Sloot, however, is the one who's fallen into the crosshairs of the U.S. ... as they indicted him in 2010, alleging he'd tried extorting and defrauding the Holloway family.

While he was charged in America well over a decade ago, he hadn't gotten extradited until just earlier this year -- as part of an agreement with the Peruvian government. You see, he's actually serving a prison sentence there for an entirely different case ... where a court found him guilty of murdering a different young woman, Stephany Flores.

Anyway, once this is dealt with, he'll reportedly be shipped back to Peru to finish his sentence -- and, after that, presumably return to America to start serving whatever punishment he receives as part of this case.

The Holloway story was one of the biggest disappearance cases in recent memory -- and her family had her declared legally dead in 2012 after many years of going without answers.

President Joe Biden is siding with Israel over the bombing Tuesday that killed hundreds of people in a Gaza hospital ... claiming it was not Israel that unleashed the weapon.

Israeli intelligence officers said Tuesday's rocket attack on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital was the work of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) -- an independent Muslim paramilitary organization. They said the jihadists were launching rockets at Israel and one of them misfired and came crashing down on the medical center.

Coupled with the footage, Israeli officials released a purported audio clip of two Hamas terrorists talking about the deadly explosion and blaming PIJ. Hamas, which controls the Palestinians in Gaza, has a tense relationship with PIJ, but the two groups sometimes work together.

In the audio clip, one alleged terrorist says, "They are saying (the rocket) belongs to Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It's from us?"

The other responds, "It looks like it. It misfired and fell on them... God bless - couldn't it have found another place to explode?"

However, the Palestinian Health Ministry issued a statement, saying Israeli airstrikes were responsible for the bombing at the medical facility, which was housing thousands of displaced people from the war.

Death tolls from the hospital blast ranged from 200 to 500 people, depending on which side you asked.

Major protests throughout the Middle East flared up as a result of the hospital attack. Hundreds of anti-Israel demonstrators took to the streets in Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon.

October 17 is a holiday as far as Gucci Mane's concerned and the 1017 Records CEO is giving a gift to Young Dolph fans this year ... with a pair of previously unreleased verses from the late rapper.

Gucci dropped his new album "Breath of Fresh Air" on Tuesday ... a star-studded "double disc" that features contributions from J. Cole, DaBaby, 21 Savage, Key Glock and more.

Dolph appears on the tracks "Thank Me" and "Pretty Girls," furthering their collab track record years after his death. He was also one of the marquee players on Dolph's posthumous album released last year.

Along with Dolph's Paper Route Empire, La Flare's been going hard to keep the late "Play Wit Yo Bitch" rapper's name alive, especially as the 2-year anniversary of his murder looms next month.

Alec Baldwin might be put through the legal wringer again -- because prosecutors are zeroing in on him again ... a move his legal team thinks is complete BS.

The Santa Fe District Attorney's Office announced Monday that they'll convene a grand jury in the near future to consider whether to refile an involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin ... saying they feel it's appropriate for ordinary citizens to decide if the case against him should be revived.

Baldwin's attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro of Quinn Emanuel tell TMZ ... "It is unfortunate that a terrible tragedy has been turned into this misguided prosecution. We will answer any charges in court."

Remember, the D.A. dropped this same charge against Baldwin just earlier this year ... this after making a big show of filing charges in the first place. While they seemed to close the book on his role in the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins -- they did say at the time that they reserved the right to recharge him if new information came to light. Apparently, it has.

Prosecutors reportedly decided to send the case back to the grand jury after submitting the gun for further analysis, which they claim contradicts Baldwin saying he never pulled the trigger.

This latest news comes on the heels of a ruling in the pending case against the armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed just last week -- when a judge decided that the production companies involved in "Rust" had to fork over correspondence and other docs pertaining to the film's pre-production.

The implication ... prosecutors wanted to see what, if any, role Alec had as a producer of the film as it pertains to allegations that corners were cut when it came to gun safety and training -- something Gutierrez-Reed has claimed took place in defending herself.

Alec Baldwin podría tener problemas legales de nuevo porque los fiscales están yendose contra él otra vez... un movimiento de su equipo legal piensa que es una completa canallada.

La Oficina del Fiscal del Distrito de Santa Fe anunció el lunes que van a convocar a un gran jurado en un futuro próximo para considerar si se debe volver a presentar un cargo de homicidio involuntario contra Baldwin, diciendo que sienten que es apropiado para los ciudadanos comunes para decidir si el caso en su contra debe ser retomado.

Los abogados de Baldwin, Luke Nikas y Alex Spiro de Quinn Emanuel le informan a TMZ: "Es lamentable que una terrible tragedia se ha convertido en este enjuiciamiento equivocado. Vamos a responder a cualquier cargo en la corte".

Recordemos que la justicia retiró este mismo cargo contra Baldwin a principios de este año, después de hacer un gran espectáculo de la presentación de cargos desde el comienzo. Si bien parecían cerrar el libro sobre su papel en el tiroteo mortal de Halyna Hutchins, dijeron en ese momento que se reservaban el derecho de volver a acusarlo si salía a la luz nueva información. Al parecer, lo ha hecho.

Al parecer, los fiscales decidieron devolver el caso al gran jurado tras someter el arma a nuevos análisis, que según ellos contradicen la afirmación de Baldwin de que nunca apretó el gatillo.

Esta última noticia se produce después de que la semana pasada un juez dictara sentencia en el caso pendiente contra la armera Hannah Gutierrez-Reed y decidiera que las productoras implicadas en "Rust" tenían que entregar la correspondencia y otros documentos relacionados con la preproducción de la película.

Los fiscales querían estar seguros de cuál era el papel de Alec como productor de la película y su poder de decisión respecto a la seguridad de las armas en el set. Gutiérrez-Reed ha sacado a relucir este tema en su defensa

The golf world is mourning the death of Ivor Robson -- better known as the "Voice of The Open" -- including Tiger Woods who thanked the icon for making each Open Championship "so memorable."

The Open released a statement on Tuesday announcing the death of Robson at 83.

Tiger paid tribute once the sad news broke, writing, "Thank you Ivor for making each one of my Open starts so memorable," Woods said on X.

Other golfers honored Robson, as well. Thomas Bjorn called him "a real legend in our world who will be deeply missed" and Paul McGinley described him as "the most famous & popular first tee starter golfer has ever had."

McGinley added ... "His legacy will be that iconic and quintessential British voice of his."

Robson began his career at The Open in 1975 ... and was one of the most admired announcers in sports until his retirement in 2015 after 41 Championships.

In fact, Robson, who established the famous "On the tee" introduction, was known to not even take bathroom breaks during the Championships.

Martin Slumbers, CEO of The R&A (Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews), expressed sadness over Robson's passing.

"He was popular and well respected among all golfers who played in The Open and I know that they will share in our sadness at this news," Slumbers said.

"On behalf of all of us at The R&A, I would like to convey our heartfelt condolences to his wife of 61 years, Lesley, and the Robson family."

In 2015, when Ivor called his last Open Championship, he said ... "It has been a wonderful career. It's been a great honor," Robson said at his final announcement. The way I have been treated by players, officials, sponsors ... thank you all very much."

La madre de la estrella de "The Sandlot", Marty York, compartió su preocupación en línea no mucho antes de que fuera asesinada, hablando sobre la salud mental de su novio. El hombre que Marty cree que la mató.

La madre de Marty, Deanna Esmaeel, escribió en un grupo de apoyo a la esquizofrenia en Facebook a principios de este mes, preguntando si "¿Alguien más aquí tiene cónyuge o pareja con esquizofrenia, la mía no confía en mí y me acusa de engañarlo constantemente".

Ella continuó afirmando que ha recibido insultos y "violencia física sin razón", refiriéndose a su novio, Daniel James Walter.

Deanna también dejó un comentario la semana pasada en el post de alguien que le preguntó cómo lidiar con el abuso procedente de una pareja esquizofrénica.

Ella respondió: "Aprenderás a ver un patrón en su comportamiento. Cuando veas el patrón, ponte tapones para los oídos o auriculares y sube el volumen de la música. No escuches. Sigue sonriendo".

También explicó que las reacciones abusivas no son un reflejo de los sentimientos de su pareja, añadiendo: "Hago que el mío fume marihuana, ya que el cannabis realmente detiene el episodio y lo redirige".

TMZ publicó la historia, Deanna fue encontrada muerta el jueves dentro de su casa. Justo había hecho una denuncia a la policía local acerca de ponerle a tención a Walter.

Los oficiales dijeron que Walter era un sospechoso, pero los oficiales solo fueron capaces de localizar su coche, aunque más tarde fue capturado en Oregon.
