ALERT: Woman claims that a man was watching porn and masturbating in first class while on a flight out of California. The woman was on a United Airlines red-eye flight from San Diego to Newark and says she specifically booked first class so she could sleep on the plane, but shortly after takeoff, she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. The man next to her was allegedly watching porn on his phone while making stroking motions underneath his blanket. “I was frozen. Horrified…I’m essentially trapped in the window seat. I would have to climb over him because he’s got his seat fully reclined in order to get out.” The woman told a flight attendant, who didn't offer to switch seats until after she texted some friends and requested to move. When the plane landed, the woman said police did not confront the man at the gate, and she was not told to contact the FBI unit until several days later, when she spoke to United customer service. United offered her $1,000 in travel credits or 50,000 miles, and she opted for the miles. United released a statement saying, “We take this issue seriously. We spoke with the customer and apologized for her experience. We have also banned the other person involved pending our investigation.” The FBI advises passengers to move seats, notify crew members, and, if you are a woman traveling alone, sit in an aisle seat.

ALERT: Jury deliberating the fate of a man who ran over a sheriff, killing him, and pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity because Cincinnati police shot and killed his son a day earlier. Rodney Hinton Jr. is accused of intentionally running down Hamilton County Sheriff’s Officer Larry Henderson Jr. a day after his son was shot and killed by the Cincinnati Police Department. Hinton's attorney claims that Hinton was trying to kill himself and inadvertently killed Deputy Henderson. Hinton was found to have serious mental illness from evaluations by psychologists, but their disagreement is about whether the illness prevented Hinton from knowing right and wrong. Assistant prosecutor Kate Burroughs said in closing arguments that “impulsive is not insane. He made a choice knowing it was wrong. Angry, grieving, impulsive… the inability to control one's behavior and irresistible impulse is not a legal defense.”
