A wildy rare appeal is sending Adnan Syed back to court — this time with Hae Min Lee’s family in the room. Thanks to a rare plea brought directly by the family of Hae Min Lee, a Maryland appeals court has reinstated the conviction of her ex-boyfriend and true crime cause célèbre, Adnan Syed. The new ruling is mainly procedural, meaning it likely won’t affect the ultimate outcome of Syed’s case, which is almost certainly still headed for a resolution in his favor. It might, however, serve as a useful reminder to the court to prioritize victims’ rights — even…
Apex Legends’ iconic April Fools event is back, but fans are divided over it and the server issues aren’t helping Respawn’s case either.

King Charles III attended an Easter service on Sunday at Windsor Castle, marking his most noteworthy public appearance since being diagnosed last month with an undisclosed form of cancer. The visit could be serving as a comforting precursor to the king’s eventual planned return to the public-facing duties from which he has been largely absent in the wake of his diagnosis and treatment. The monarch offered a cheery wave to spectators as he walked into St. George’s Chapel for a service expected to last about an hour. A member of the public shouted “Happy Easter,” with Charles responding, “And to you.” He…

Even the longest races can be distilled to the shortest stretch of road. The Tour of Flanders of 2024 was defined by the wicked slopes of the Koppenberg. Already notorious in the lore of this event, the sharp wall of cobbles outside Oudenaarde added another line to its lengthy rap sheet in Sunday’s rain-soaked edition.For most, the Koppenberg is a climb to be endured rather than attacked. Here, it was the launchpad for Mathieu van der Poel’s race-winning acceleration with 44km to go as well as the moment most of his rivals’ challenges ground literally to a halt.There were already…

Studying the sensory organs of a 100-million-year-old cockroach offers new insights into how the species may have lived. Researchers at Hokkaido University have revealed new insights into an extinct cockroach species by studying the sensory organs of a specimen preserved in the fossilized tree resin known as amber. Their findings, which were published in the journal The Science of Nature, suggest that extinct cockroach species may have had more diverse habitats and behaviours than their related living species. Animals are highly dependent on their sensory organs to detect information about their surroundings, such as sensing food, habitats, predators and mates. These…
