Willis Miller sentenced to 45 years in prison, mandatory
SUMMARY: Willis Miller was sentenced to 45 years in prison for killing Paisley “Gabby” Frazier while drinking and driving. Frazier died in an ATV crash, and another child was injured. The incident occurred in April 2022 and Miller was found guilty of aggravated DUI and aggravated assault. Frazier's mother, Caprice Thompson, expressed relief at the sentencing but acknowledged the pain of losing her daughter. District Attorney Scott Colom emphasized the seriousness of drinking and driving, noting Miller was driving 97 miles per hour on the wrong side of the road. Thompson hopes the case serves as a warning about the dangers of drinking and driving.

SUMMARY: Clashes between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel protesters erupted at UCLA, with violence including fistfights and fireworks being thrown. The protests were part of demands for UCLA to divest from Israel and stop the conflict with Hamas. The encampment by pro-Palestinian protesters led to barricades and clashes with counter-protesters. Police eventually intervened to quell the violence, but injuries and extent were unclear. Similar protests and confrontations have been happening at other universities across the US, with disagreements over divestment from Israel.
