‘Stand your ground’ law protects shooter in deadly fight over parking space: sheriff
An argument over a handicapped parking spot at a convenience store in Florida led to a fatal shooting and the man who pulled the trigger won’t be arrested under the state’s “stand your ground” self-defense law, authorities said. Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told reporters during a Friday press conference that Thursday’s shooting death of Markeis McGlockton, a 28-year-old father of three, is “within the bookends of stand your ground and within the bookends of force being justified,” the Tampa Bay Times reports. “I’m not saying I agree with it, but I don’t make that call,” Gualtieri told reporters, adding that his agency will now forward the case to the State Attorney’s Office for a final decision.

Africa’s richest man thinks Donald Trump is onto something with higher tariffs
Aliko Dangote may not agree with president Donald Trump that higher tariffs would be good for the United States, but the Nigerian businessman thinks they could work for his own country. “If you look at what president Trump is doing right now-not that I agree with what he is doing because they are in a totally different economy to what we are-but if you look at where we are today, where there’s no protection, then you are not going to have any industries,” Dangote said to rousing applause. Dangote was on a panel with South Africa’s former finance minister Trevor Manuel and Irish tech billionaire John Collison.

Bank wouldn't deposit wrongfully convicted man's check from the state for 23 years in prison
An attorney representing a man who spent 23 years locked up for a murder he didn’t commit says her client was turned away twice by Chase Bank when he tried to deposit a check from the state of Illinois to compensate him for his time imprisoned. Chase, meanwhile, said it made a mistake in turning him away once but denied doing it twice, calling the second incident this week a misunderstanding. The exonerated man, Darryl Fulton, said he was “proven innocent” and expressed frustration with the ordeal. “I’m just trying to deposit my check,” Fulton said. “I just wanted to be treated like anyone else.” Kathleen Zellner criticized Chase for not allowing Fulton to deposit a $169,876 check from the state

Whoopi Goldberg: Jeanine Pirro ‘Cursed’ Us Out in Front of ‘The View’ Audience
“Unless you were under a rock yesterday, you know all about Jeanine Pirro’s appearance here on the show,” Whoopi Goldberg said Friday morning on The View, putting an extra bit of snark on the Fox News host’s name. The show’s moderator was referring not only to the on-air fireworks that occurred after Pirro accused her of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” but also the fight that continued backstage after the segment. In an interview with her colleague Sean Hannity on the radio Thursday afternoon, Pirro said that Goldberg screamed, “F you, get the F out of this building!” at her. “Things got hot on the air,” Goldberg said on Friday, “but I want to clear up what happened afterwards,” because, in her words, Pirro left out some “pertinent stuff” from her account.
