MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican prosecutors announced Saturday night that they are withdrawing a case against a woman who was sentenced to six years in prison for killing a rapist as he attacked her.In a ruling last week that touched off a public outcry, a court in Mexico State said that while it agreed 23-year-old Roxana Ruiz was raped in 2021, it found her guilty of homicide with “excessive use of legitimate defense.” It also ordered Ruiz to pay more than $16,000 in reparations to the family of her attacker.Feminist groups, which have supported Ruiz’s defense, angrily protested, saying the ruling was criminalizing survivors of sexual violence while protecting perpetrators in a country with high levels of gender-based violence and femicides.

Kidney donors racing to bring awareness to living donations

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:52:49 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Runners are gearing up to make their mark in the 2023 Denver Colfax Marathon runs. One group is running for a special cause and they all have one thing in common -- they’re all kidney donors. Chris Sullivan, Andrea Coleman, Chelsea Barker and Hilary Baude are part of the 10 kidney donors running to show what can be achieved after you donate a kidney and bring awareness to living organ donation. “In 2020, I donated my left kidney to a stranger,” Sullivan said. “I feel no different. I do everything I did before I donated. It’s actually inspired me to do more.”  Will poor air quality impact Denver’s Colfax Marathon? According to the National Kidney Foundation, more than 100,000 people are awaiting kidney transplants. Sullivan, along with Coleman, is part of the team running the marathon relay. “If one person can see us with our bibs and our shirts and hear our story and consider donating it’ll all be worth it,” Coleman said. “There’s all kinds of ways to ma...

Can mom end bad marriage so close to retirement?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:52:49 GMT

Q. I am trying to help my mother understand whether she can afford to get out of a bad marriage where she is also nearing retirement.  They signed a pre-nuptial agreement because it was a second marriage for both. Per their agreement, most of their assets are considered separate property and cannot be divided.  My mom has a mortgage-free condo in North Carolina which she rents out and intends to someday use in retirement.  She also has almost a million in retirement assets.  She hasn’t ever worked full time, which was great when I was young, but hasn’t helped her build wealth.  She can ask for alimony, but I understand only until retirement, and they are both five years away from Social Security retirement age.I suppose she will have some Social Security but as a part-time classroom aide it’s not likely to amount to much. He earns a lot of money, but I’ve heard it is hard to challenge a pre-nuptial agreement.A. First of all, this is not a simple situation, and your mother should con...

BOOK REVIEW“Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World”By Henry GrabarPenguin Press, $30Grade: AYou might expect a book about parking to be a snore. I did. I’ve tried to read a few in the public library. Didn’t get far.But I have news to report. Henry Grabar’s “Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World” is not a slog; it’s a romp, packed with tales of anger, violence, theft, lust, greed, political chicanery and transportation policy gone wrong. The protagonist — and the villain — is the car. The theme is our culture’s propensity to value automobile ownership over almost everything else, and at a heavy cost.If you own a car, you’ve got to park it somewhere. If you live in or near a city — most of us do — the consequences are all around you. Everyone already knows how fundamentally the automobile has shaped our physical environment. Roads and highways are only part of it.“Paved Paradise” sensitized me to ...
