7+ hour, 48+ min ago (657+ words) LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles County medical examiner on Monday spoke out against the practice of placing security holds on cases, including the investigation into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez. The singer D4vd is considered a suspect in the probe of the teenage girl's death, a source told Eyewitness News last week. On Friday, the Department of Medical Examiner received a court order, initiated by the Los Angeles Police Department, to place a security hold on the teenager's case, officials said. The hold means that no records or details associated with the case, including the cause and manner of death and the medical examiner's report, can be released until the hold is lifted. "The Department's mission is to have full transparency with the community by providing information about our cases to empower people to make changes that save lives,…...

They once again voice the lead characters for this new Disney animated adventure. This time around, Nick and Judy, who are partners in the Zootopia Police Department, are out to solve another big case. For its stars, just being involved in the film is an incredible creative adventure, especially since it's hard to even visualize the result when they're recording their lines. "You've done just a voice part and then you see how it slots into something that is so complicated, so immense. I think they said 700 people were on this crew," said Bateman. "So, it's very humbling because you're such a small part of something so massive." "I was hanging out with one of my Judy animators and they fully, like, act out our…...

8+ hour, 10+ min ago (348+ words) WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department renewed its request Monday to unseal Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking grand jury materials, saying Congress made clear in approving the release of investigative materials related to the prosecution of the late financier that documents such as the court records should be released. U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton signed the submission in Manhattan federal court asking that the judge issue an expedited ruling allowing the materials to be released now that President Donald Trump signed the action requiring the release of documents related to Epstein within 30 days. The Justice Department said the Congressional action overrode existing law in a way that permits the unsealing of the grand jury records. Judge Richard Berman previously denied a Trump administration request to make the Epstein grand jury transcripts public. Berman, who presided over Epstein's 2019 case, ruled in August that a "significant and…...
