Convicted murderer Jodi Arias is suing her former defense attorney, alleging in a civil lawsuit that the onetime head of her legal team broke their attorney-client privilege in a tell-all book about the sensational case.

The lawsuit filed against former attorney L. Kirk Nurmi - who surrendered his license to practice law in November after a complaint filed by an attorney on Arias' behalf - alleges that Nurmi disclosed "confidential and privileged information" in his November 2015 book for the "expressed purpose of financial gain and his own public 'redemption,'" according to the lawsuit obtained by the Arizona Republic.

"Since his representation of Plaintiff ended Nurmi has made numerous public statements about his client via traditional media (including on televisions, radio, in print, etc.) as well as via the internet and on social media for the purpose of marketing the book and increasing sales," the lawsuit reads.

Meeting the demand? US Catholic bishops publish first English-language translation of exorcism ritual

English translations exorcism prayers
© CNSThe publications related to exorcism also include an appendix of prayers 'against the powers of darkness' that anyone can pray.
The first official English-language translation of the ritual book "Exorcisms and Related Supplications" is available from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Distribution of "Exorcisms and Related Supplications" is limited to bishops, though exorcists, other clergy, scholars and seminary professors also can obtain a copy with the permission of a bishop.

Having it available now in English "should make it easier for a bishop to find a priest who can help him with this ministry," said Fr Andrew Menke, executive director of the USCCB's Secretariat of Divine Worship.

"Given that there's less facility in Latin than there used to be, even among priests, it opens the door to more priests to do this. Until now, not only did the priest have to be wise and holy, but he also had to have strong facility in Latin," Fr Menke told Catholic News Service.

Nearly a year after her disastrous election defeat - and facing new scrutiny over a questionable uranium deal and ties to the Fusion GPS dossier - Democrat Hillary Clinton claimed Wednesday that the Republican Party was "imploding."

Clinton's remarks, first reported by ABC News, emerged one day after two Senate Republicans lashed out at President Donald Trump.

The critics -- Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Bob Corker of Tennessee - have each announced plans to step down at the end of their terms.

German media reports migrants in Cologne becoming increasingly violent, turning areas into no-go zones with flourishing drug trade

german police, cologne violence migrants
A new report claims that migrant youth gangs in the Ebertplatz area of Cologne are becoming increasingly violent, leading some to describe the area as turning into a no-go zone.

Authorities in the Eberplatz area say that in recent months young migrants from the Middle East and Africa have turned the place into a no-go zone once the sun goes down. Over just the past nine months, police have been involved in around 3,000 incidents in the area ranging from simple stop and search to the murder of a 22-year-old African migrant last Saturday evening, Die Welt reports.

Police arrested three men in connection with the murder saying they were all part of the local drug scene. Police officials in Germany have previously warned that in some areas of the country asylum seekers and illegal migrants have begun to take over the lucrative drug trade, often using violence to achieve their goals.

Former Vice President Al Gore has been hit by new allegations of sexual assault. This time, it's two more massage therapists bringing the charges.

The former VP is already in hot water, fighting abuse claims in Portland, where another masseuse said Gore groped her in '06 and asked her to perform a "chakra release" (massage-speak for "hand job".) He denies everything.

The new allegations are said to have taken place at two hotels - one in Beverly Hills in 2007, when Gore was in Hollywood for the Oscars, the other in Tokyo in 2008.

A source from the luxury hotel in Beverly Hills told The Enquirer: "The therapist claimed that when they were alone, Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her." He then propositioned her for a sexual act, according to The Enquirer.

As the Harvey Weinstein scandal spreads like an STD throughout the entertainment industry worldwide, as the courage of those coming forward to name names inspires similar courage in others, we cannot allow ourselves to become so accustomed to the allegations that they lose their power to outrage.

Although some male victims have come forward, the alleged victims here are mostly vulnerable young women and children. Worse, so far, all of the alleged abusers are the very men whose primary responsibility in any civilized society is to protect women and children.

As a means to understand just how, yes, institutional these allegations are, here is a list (in no particular order) of the accused and their alleged misdeeds, which will be updated as needed.

Knock, knock: Amazon Key will give couriers & hackers access to your home

Amazon is addressing customers concerns over thieves stealing their packages by... giving their couriers a key to their homes. Security experts have shown the move will leave homes vulnerable to hackers.

Amazon announced the new service Wednesday that would allow customers to request "in-home" delivery when no one is home.

Once a delivery driver arrives at a customer's house with a package, they will request "secure home access" with the company. Amazon will then verify the driver is at the correct address at the right time and unlock the door through an encrypted authentication process.

"Amazon Key gives customers peace of mind knowing their orders have been safely delivered to their homes and are waiting for them when they walk through their doors," Peter Larsen, vice president of delivery technology at Amazon, said in a statement.

To ensure "peace of mind," Amazon announced the Amazon Cloud Cam Wednesday, an "intelligent indoor security camera" that will start recording before the door is unlocked. With the Cloud Cam, customers can watch a delivery as it happens in real time or review a video of the courier in their house on their smartphone later.

If a hacker was able to breach the AWS cloud, the footage from the Cloud Cams could become vulnerable. In the past, major breaches of large companies such as Equifax have seen stolen data leaked to the internet, where it is then bought and sold to the highest bidder. That means footage from the inside of customer's homes could become a commodity on the black market in the future.

A probe has been launched into the death of man at a prominent Democratic donor's home after it was previously ruled an accidental meth overdose.

An Ypsilanti man arrested by the FBI's counterterrorism team in August said he was an Islamic State supporter, admitting he made pipe bombs and watched terrorist propaganda videos, according to federal records obtained by The Detroit News.

Yousef Mohammad Ramadan also boasted that committing a terrorist attack in the United States is easy compared to overseas.

Search warrant records offer new insight into a counterterrorism investigation shrouded in secrecy and help explain why Ramadan was removed from a Royal Jordanian Airlines flight in August at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
