Summer heat returns to Southern California

Yet again, Southern Californians are feeling the heat as offshore flow combines with a high-pressure system to bring warm and dry weather through Thursday, and a moderate Santa Ana wind event through Friday that will keep temperatures well above normal, the National Weather Service reported.  Inland temperatures, according to KTLA Weatherman Kaj Goldberg, are forecast to be in the uppers 90s to low triple digits.  As the weak Santa Ana winds move into SoCal, keeping up the heat all the way through the weekend, air quality is also expected to diminish with the hot, dry winds.

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 08:36:38 GMT

OAKLAND — Criminal proceedings against an East Bay man were suspended just days into his murder trial, after he made a verbal outburst that caused his lawyer to openly doubt his mental competency, court records show.Charles Beal, 32, was on trial last week on charges of murdering 33-year-old Ukono Hall in a shooting that police say was motivated by a love triangle. Beal’s lawyer, Todd Bequette, was cross-examining an Oakland police evidence technician when Beal made a “verbal outburst” and demanded a new lawyer, according to the minute order for the Sept. 27 court hearing.Later in the hearing, Bequette formally declared a doubt to Beal’s mental competency for trial. The move freezes legal proceedings at least until medical professionals can evaluate Beal. If he’s found incompetent for trial, he’ll almost certainly be ordered transferred to a mental institution so doctors can “restore” his competency.Hall was fatally shot 11 p.m. ...

As of early October, Bens’ teaching credential remained valid and is not set to expire until next April.Late last month, an internal investigation found that Bens had both taught with antisemitic mate...
