Житель Калифорнии приговорен к пожизненному заключению за убийство брата с ДЦП
Житель Калифорнии Зубери Шарп, 26 лет, был приговорен во вторник к тюремному заключению сроком от 15 лет до пожизненного лишения свободы. Ранее он признал вину в убийстве второй степени своего 15-летнего единокровного брата Зайде, который страдал детским церебральным параличом и передвигался на инвалидном кресле.Согласно данным прокуратуры округа Вентура, Шарп также признал ряд отягчающих обстоятельств, включая нанесение тяжких телесных повреждений, использование оружия и совершение преступления против уязвимого лица. Инцидент произошел 5 декабря 2024 года в Ньюбери-Парк. Мать погибшего вызвала службу 911, сообщив, что ее сын получил удар по голове тяжелым предметом.По версии следствия, нападение произошло в сарае на заднем дворе дома. Дядя подростка, услышав глухой удар, прибежал на место происшествия и увидел Шарпа с киркой над телом ребенка. Зайде был доставлен в больницу, где врачи констатировали его смерть.После совершения преступления Шарп скрылся, но позже был задержан полицией в средней школе Ньюбери-Парк. Его появление на футбольном поле, где в этот момент находились спортсмены, вызвало необходимость введения режима изоляции (lockdown) в учебном заведении. Причиной его неадекватного поведения на территории школы стало сообщение о мужчине, ведущем себя странно.Мотив преступления официально не установлен, однако члены семьи предположили, что Шарп находился в состоянии маниакального эпизода. Старший заместитель окружного прокурора Дэвид Рассел отметил, что приговор отражает серьезность насильственного акта против беззащитной жертвы и обеспечивает привлечение виновного к ответственности.Зубери Шарп является сыном Калвина Шарпа, осужденного пожизненно за убийство шестилетнего мальчика топором в 2007 году.
California man sentenced to prison for using pickaxe to kill teen brother with cerebral palsy
A California man was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to the pickaxe murder of his teenage half-brother, who had cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair.Zuberi Sharp, 26, was sentenced on Tuesday after pleading guilty in March to the second-degree murder of his 15-year-old half-brother, Zayde, according to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office.He also admitted to several special allegations and aggravating factors, including that he inflicted great bodily injury, that he used a weapon in the commission of the crime and that the victim was vulnerable.On Dec. 5, 2024, deputies were called to a home on the 400 block of Jeanne Court in Newbury Park shortly after 8 p.m. following his mother's 911 call from Zayde’s mother, who reported that her son had been struck in the head with an object.BELOVED TEACHER KILLED AS SHE SLEPT, DAUGHTER STABBED IN ATTACK AS MOTIVE REMAINS UNCLEAR: DAThe victim's mother reported that Sharp had attacked Zayde with a pickaxe inside a shed in the backyard.The teen's uncle heard a loud thud and rushed to the shed to check on the two brothers. He observed Sharp standing over Zayde while holding a pickaxe.Zayde was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving.Meanwhile, Sharp fled the scene and was later found at nearby Newbury Park High School, where deputies took him into custody after receiving reports of a man acting erratically on the football field, authorities said.The incident forced a lockdown, as student-athletes were on the field when he arrived."This sentence reflects the seriousness of a violent and senseless act against a vulnerable victim," Senior Deputy District Attorney David Russell said in a press release. "While nothing can undo this loss, it ensures the defendant is held accountable and that the victim’s family has been spared the trauma of a trial."Investigators never released a motive for the attack, but family members told KTLA they believed Sharp was having a manic episode at the time.CALIFORNIA MAN PAROLED UNDER 'YOUTHFUL OFFENDER' PROVISION FOR 2 MURDERS KILLS AGAIN LESS THAN A YEAR LATER"It’s hard," Zayde’s mother previously told the outlet at a ceremony to honor her son. "It’s been really hard. Pain every day."Sharp is also the son of convicted killer Calvin Sharp, who killed a 6-year-old boy with a meat cleaver in 2007. He pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to life in prison.Fox News Digital has reached out to Sharp's legal team. The Ventura County District Attorney’s Office directed inquiries to Tuesday's press release.

'Unconscionable to keep them on cruise ship’: WHOs Gostin warns against repeating COVID-era mistakes
— François Picard is pleased to welcome Lawrence Gostin, Author, Director of the WHO Center on Global Health Law and Distinguished University Professor, Georgetown University Law Center. His analysis offers historical context and perspective of the legal and ethical dilemmas surrounding a cruise ship carrying suspected hantavirus cases off the coast of Cape Verde. Drawing direct parallels with the traumatic memory of cruise ships stranded during the COVID-19 pandemic, Gostin argues that the international community has already learned, at enormous human cost, the dangers of confining passengers at sea without adequate medical care or disembarkation plans. "You can't really confine people on a ship," argues Gostin, "especially if there's a transmissible virus on board, and keep them there without medical care, without quarantine facilities. That's unacceptable." At the heart of his intervention lies a sharp critique of political hesitation in moments of public health uncertainty. “You can’t really confine people on a ship,” he insists, calling it “unacceptable” and ultimately “unconscionable” to leave potentially infected passengers isolated without proper treatment or quarantine infrastructure. While acknowledging Cape Verde’s limited medical capacities, Gostin emphasizes that international law places obligations on wealthier jurisdictions capable of responding, arguing that international law would require Spain to let them in: "The Canary Islands, which is a Spanish jurisdiction, certainly has advanced medical care and should be able to provide the medical intensive services that these sick passengers need." Gostin refuses simplistic binaries between national protection and humanitarian duty. Instead, he frames the crisis within a broader framework of global health governance, scientific uncertainty, and the fragile lessons inherited from COVID-19. His remarks also expand into a broader critique of cruise ship public health standards, warning that modern maritime tourism remains deeply vulnerable to infectious disease outbreaks ranging from hantavirus to norovirus. Asked whether he himself would take a cruise, Gostin replies with understated candor: “I wouldn’t be afraid, but I wouldn’t put myself to that kind of exposure.”
