Prosecutors in France are struggling to determine which of two identical twins fired the fatal shot in a double gang murder, as DNA evidence on the gun matches both brothers, according to Sky News. Meanwhile, Meta is facing legal challenges in New Mexico and California regarding child safety and social media addiction, as reported by The Verge and Wired. In Arizona, the family of Nancy Guthrie is reportedly facing a $6 million Bitcoin ransom demand, as detailed by Fortune.
In France, the identical twins, identified as 33-year-old Samuel and Jeremy Y, are on trial for the September 2020 double gang murder and several attempted murders the following month, Sky News reported. The brothers are accused of killing 17-year-old Tidiane B. The challenge for prosecutors lies in the DNA evidence, which matches both twins, making it impossible to pinpoint the shooter.
Meta is also facing significant legal battles. In New Mexico, the state opened its case on Monday, accusing the company of facilitating child predators, according to The Verge and Wired. The state alleges that Meta violated New Mexico's Unfair Practices Act by implementing design features and algorithms that created dangerous conditions for users. The Verge reported that the case centers on whether Meta misled the public about the safety of its platform. Wired noted that a landmark social media trial also began in California this week, marking the nation's first legal test of social media addiction.
In Arizona, the search for Nancy Guthrie continues into its second week, with reports of a $6 million Bitcoin ransom demand, as stated by Fortune. The alleged kidnappers demanded the payment by 5 p.m. on Monday, threatening Guthrie's life. According to Fortune, Guthrie's family expressed their willingness to pay the ransom in a video posted on Instagram. However, the deadline passed without further contact from the alleged kidnappers. Law enforcement has not yet confirmed the legitimacy of the ransom letter, according to Fortune.
