Supreme Court Rules That Some Jan. 6 Defendants Were Improperly Charged

Supreme Court Rules That , Some Jan. 6 Defendants, Were Improperly Charged. NPR reports that the United States Supreme Court voted to limit which defendants accused of taking part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot can be charged by federal prosecutors. The decision also casts doubt on two out of the four felony counts in former President Donald Trump's election subversion indictment. According to conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, the court ruled that the U.S. government must prove , “that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity for use in an official proceeding of records, documents, objects, or other things used in an official proceeding.”. NPR reports that prosecutors relied on a key criminal statute to prosecute over 350 participants of the Capitol riot. The statute makes it a crime to alter or destroy official documents, or to otherwise obstruct or impede official proceedings. Roberts wrote that the statute was not meant to broaden the meaning of the law to make it a catchall provision. . The decision will impact other cases related to Jan. 6, many of which will have to be resentenced, retried or defendants will be released. . NYU law professor Ryan Goodman authored a study that found only 346 of the 1,417 people charged in connection with the Capitol riot were charged under the obstruction statute. The study also found that 71 people are still awaiting trial on the obstruction charge, but over half of them are also charged with another felony. NPR points out that if found guilty of other felony charges, the sentencing judge is still allowed to use the charge of obstruction to determine the length of their sentence.

Middle-Aged Americans Are Underprepared for Retirement, Study Finds [Video]

Middle-Aged Americans Are Underprepared for Retirement, Study Finds

Middle-Aged Americans Are, Underprepared for Retirement, , Study Finds. 'Newsweek' reports that people in the United States who are approaching retirement age may be critically underprepared when it comes to their savings. According to Prudential Investments, Americans around the age of 55 are facing a "midlife retirement crisis," lacking the funds for a comfortable post-working life. . A recent survey by the major insurance provider found the average retirement savings of a 55-year-old to be $47,950. . This falls significantly short of the recommended goal of having eight times a person's annual income saved by the time they reach 55. . According to the survey, 57% of 55-year-olds said they expected to outlive the funds they have currently managed to save. That's compared to 59% of 65-year-olds and 52% of 75-year-olds. The survey also found that one-third of 55-year-olds and 43% of 65-year-olds have already been forced to postpone retirement due to inflation. Attention today is rightly centered on the approximately 11,000 65-year-olds entering retirement every week, but we must also focus as an industry on the opportunity to help a slightly younger generation of workers entering the critical 10-year countdown to retirement, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'. Further, the financial futures of certain cohorts—such as women—are especially precarious, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'. The upside is that, with the right planning and strategy to protect their life's work, we can ensure this generation is well-prepared to live not only longer, but better, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'
