Former French premier Franois Fillon was given a four-year suspended sentence for corruption on Tuesday over the "fake jobs" scandal that was fatal to his presidential bid in 2017. The ex-PM was found guilty in 2022 of giving a parliamentary assistant job to his wife for which she was paid millions of euros in public funds despite doing no work in the National Assembly.

A Michigan mother is heartbroken again after the teenager who killed her son in a 2023 car crash was spared prison time during his sentencing last week.Grosse Pointe police initially responded to the single-vehicle crash on Nov. 17, 2023, and located the defendant, Kiernan Tague, belted into the driver's seat, and the 18-year-old victim, Flynn MacKrell, unresponsive and belted into the passenger seat.Prosecutors accused Tague of driving about 100 mph in a 25-mph zone around 9 p.m. when he crashed the vehicle into a telephone pole.The defendant was initially charged with second-degree murder but later pleaded guilty to manslaughter with a motor vehicle with an adult designation in February 2025 and was given a "blended sentence" last week due to his age at the time of the crash: 16.TEEN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WHO KILLED WOMAN IN COLORADO CRASH GETS PROBATION, THEN IS ARRESTED BY ICE WITH FAMILYTague, now 18, was sentenced to serve probation at a Level two placement facility, as FOX 2 Detroit reported. Fox News Digital reached out to Tague's attorney for comment."The evidence in this case will show that the defendant was driving in a residential neighborhood at speeds that rival speeding on Michigan freeways," Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a June 13 statement. "Sadly, Mr. MacKrell lost his life as a result. We know that the rules of the road exist for a reason, speed kills. Driving 25 in a residential neighborhood is mandated, not a mere suggestion."PROGRESSIVE PROSECUTOR LETS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TEEN OFF EASY AFTER CRASH THAT KILLED 24 YEAR-OLD WOMANMacKrell's mother, Anne Vanker, of Grosse Pointe, expressed her disappointment with the sentencing results in a June 13 Facebook post.MALIBU MAN TO STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER IN HIGH-SPEED CRASH THAT LEFT 4 PEPPERDINE STUDENTS DEAD"Today, instead of being held accountable, Kiernan Tague was once again shielded from facing the full consequences of his violent and criminal actions. He killed my son, Flynn MacKrell, through repeated reckless and destructive behavior, and yet, even after 18 months, the justice system has failed to hold him fully responsible," Vanker wrote.Vanker added that "[d]espite clear recommendations from two pre-sentencing reports calling for adult sentencing, overwhelming evidence, and the applicable Michigan Court Rules that allow the court to consider the full scope of Kiernans behavior, the court chose leniency over accountability.""This decision results in a continued injustice for Flynn, our family, and every community that expects real consequences for fatal, preventable actions," Vanker said, adding that her family "will never stop fighting for Flynn" and "will continue to advocate for stronger laws."TEENS' NIGHT OF ROCK THROWING LEADS TO MURDER CONVICTION FOR MAN, NOW 20"My son, my Flynn, was my life, my heart. No words can capture the silence, the rage, and the sorrow that fill every corner of my world. This statement cannot express the hell I live every day since Flynn's death, but Flynn's voice was stolen, now mine must speak for him."She also read a victim impact statement in court last week during the sentencing hearing. In her statement, Vanker remembered her son, who had just started studying at the University of Dayton before the crash, as "a cherished child of God" and "a true gift."She also described Tague's "escalating violent behavior" and "willful disregard for his mother's authority, the law, and basic human life." Vanker added that Tague has never acknowledged "the gravity of the crime" and has never expressed "remorse" for Flynn's death."Kiernan Tague has been involved in 20 police incidents since 2018. Most of these police interactions were triggered by Kiernan's mother calling 911 because of his uncontrollable outbursts," she wrote.Tague's driving history in the months before the crash included hitting speeds of 102 mph, 127 mph, 143 mph, 150 mph and 155 mph, the Detroit Free Press reported, citing police reports, cellphone exchanges and Life360 records.Vanker also noted that Tague's family used the Life 360 app to keep tabs on their son's location, as many parents do, and a search warrant for data from the app showed Tague's reckless driving tendencies. Police reports, Life360 records and other documents showed"From November 1 to November 17, Kiernan made 94 trips in his car," Vanker wrote. "Of those 94 trips, 10% were over 120 [mph], 18% were over 110 [mph], 26% were over 100 [mph], and 45% were over 90 [mph]. The top speed was recorded on November 1, 2023, when Kiernan Tague traveled at or above 153.7 mph for 20.5 miles."Tague also spoke at his sentencing and at times became choked up when talking about Flynn, whom he described as his best friend, according to FOX 2."My heart is profoundly heavy with grief, regret and remorse," Tague said on June 13, as FOX 2 reported. "What pains me most is that I know that any pain that I've experienced is nothing compared to what Flynn's loved ones, especially his parents, sister, brother, and family have experienced."

Americans are being advised to avoid drinking coffee in three states where "extreme" temperatures are being forecast this week.The National Weather Service in Las Vegas issued an extreme heat warning for Wednesday and Thursday in portions of California, Arizona and Nevada.A social media post from the National Weather Service included a "do" and "don't" graphic.THE OPTIMAL TIME TO DRINK COFFEE ISN'T WHEN YOU NORMALLY HAVE ITThe National Weather Service encourages people to stay hydrated, use sunscreen for protection and plan outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day.It also cautioned against drinking alcohol and caffeine and eating heavy foods.A similar warning was also issued for Father's Day."When it's really hot outside, it's a good idea to think twice before reaching for that cold beer or cocktail," Lauren Manaker, a registered dietitian-nutritionist in South Carolina, told Fox News Digital.MCDONALD'S CHEF REVEALS WHY COFFEE FROM FAST-FOOD GIANT TASTES SO GOOD"Alcohol can actually make it harder for your body to stay hydrated."Alcohol is a diuretic, "which means it makes you lose more fluids than you take in," Manaker said. So it leaves you "more at risk for dehydration.""Plus, it can interfere with your body's ability to regulate temperature, making you feel even hotter and potentially leading to heat exhaustion or worse," Manaker said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERModerate consumption of caffeinated beverages like coffee or tea "doesn't drastically increase your risk of dehydration," Manaker noted, "and for many people, it can still be part of their daily routine, even in hot weather.""It's important to consider the quantity when consuming caffeinated beverages," Manaker said."One cup of coffee or tea is unlikely to cause significant dehydration for most individuals, especially when balanced with adequate water intake throughout the day."But it's still "important to pay attention to how your body reacts," Manaker said."Caffeine can act as a mild diuretic when consumed in larger quantities."WHAT IS MUSHROOM COFFEE? CAFFEINE ALTERNATIVE OFFERS SURPRISING HEALTH BENEFITSOne "surprising hydrating choice" to consider is milk, Manaker said."Research has found that milk actually hydrates better than water or sports drinks," she said."This is because milk is packed with natural electrolytes like potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium, along with carbohydrates and protein, which help your body recover and retain fluids after exercise."A 2016 study from the University of St. Andrews School of Medicine in Scotland revealed that fat-free milk was the top hydrator, while whole milk was the third-best performing of the drinks tested.Coffee was the least hydrating, according to the study.For more Lifestyle articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/lifestyleThe National Weather Service also advised against eating heavy foods that "can be harder for your body to digest, and on a very hot day, this can leave you feeling sluggish and overheated," Manaker said."When you eat a large, heavy meal, your body has to work harder to break it down, which can actually raise your internal temperature," she said. "This extra effort might make it even tougher to stay cool in the heat."Instead, Manaker said, try lighter meals with fresh ingredients like salads, grilled vegetables or lean proteins.They're "easier on your system and can help you feel more energized and comfortable."Watermelon is another "excellent choice," Manaker said.

DEDHAM, Mass. (AP) The jury asked the judge three questions relating to charges and evidence Tuesday inthe second murder trial of Karen Read, who is charged with killing her Boston police officer boyfriend.Jurors began deliberations late last week, more than a month after the trial started. The second full day of deliberations began Tuesday morning.Read, 45, is accused of striking John OKeefe with her car outside a suburban Boston house party and leaving him to die in the snow in January 2022. She has beencharged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and leaving the scene.Crash reconstruction analyst testifies in Karen Read trialRead's lawyers say OKeefe, 46, was beaten, bitten by a dog, then left outside a home in Canton in a conspiracy orchestrated by the police that included planting evidence against Read.Read's second trial followedsimilar contoursto the first, which ended in a mistrial last year.Jury asks judge to clarify evidence, chargesThe jury asked the questions of judge Beverly Cannone, who oversaw the first Read trial and this one. The first question related to the time frame of an operating a motor vehicle under the influence charge.Another question was about whether video clips of interviews constituted evidence.Read has never been jailed for O'Keefe's killing. She did not testify at her first murder trial or this one.Defense argues Read was framedDefense attorney Alan Jackson began his closing argument Friday by repeating three times: There was no collision. He told the jury that Read is an innocent woman victimized by a police cover-up in which law enforcement officers sought to protect their own and obscure the real killer.He repeatedly attacked the lead investigator in the case, former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, who was fired after sharing offensive and sexist texts about Read with friends, family and co-workers. He said Proctor's blatant bias tainted every aspect of the corrupt and flawed investigation and noted how prosecutors refused to put him on the stand, as they did during the first trial.Proctor, he said, ignored leads, planted evidence and failed to consider anyone other than Read as a potential suspect.Michael Proctor went far beyond just insulting Karen Read. He dehumanized this woman, he told jurors. He betrayed her as a human being. He was fired for this blatant bias. If the Massachusetts State Police can't trust him, how can you trust him with this investigation, with your verdict and with Karen Reads life?Jackson was limited in this trial to arguing that someone other than Read killed O'Keefe. Rather than suggesting as many as three people could have killed O'Keefe as he did during the first trial, Jackson singled out Brian Higgins, a federal agent who worked in Canton and had exchanged flirtatious texts with Read. Jackson suggested Higgins was agitated at a bar after Read didnt respond to his text and had coaxed OKeefe over to the Canton house party where he was beaten up.What happened inside that house, that basement or that garage? What evidence was there for investigators to look into? What did they ignore? Jackson asked, noting the obvious dog bites on OKeefes arm and the head injury from his falling backward onto a hard surface.Prosecutors argue Read chose to leave O'Keefe to dieProsecutor Hank Brennan opened his closing argument Friday by saying Read callously decided to leave OKeefe dying in the snow, fully aware that he was gravely injured. He argued that she made the choice to let" OKeefe die, going further than prosecutors in the first trial in spelling out a motive.Karen Read is surrounded by media while departing with her attorney Alan Jackson as the jury deliberates at her trial at Norfolk Superior Court, Monday, June 16, 2025, in Dedham, Mass. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)Brennan said Read's blood-alcohol level was two to three times the legal limit, after the couple downed multiple drinks at two Canton bars. The couple, whose toxic relationship was crumbling, had an argument on the way to the house party that increased tensions and ultimately led to O'Keefe's death, the prosecutor said.She was drunk, she hit him, and she left him to die, Brennan said.Pointing to data on Read's SUV, Brennan said it showed Read starting to drive off before reversing and accelerating. He admitted they can't say how Read hit O'Keefe, but that she left tons of pieces of her taillight behind in the front yard and that O'Keefe's DNA was found on the vehicle. Data from O'Keefe's phone, he said, showed O'Keefe barely moved after getting out of the SUV, challenging the idea that he made it into the house party.Brain surgeon explains Boston officers head injury in Karen Read trialHe also pointed to Read's own words shown in a video interview for a documentary and testimony from the scene in which she told first responders that she hit him. He said this evidence may not correspond to the idea that there was a vast conspiracy led by the boogeyman Proctor and everyone setting up the girl, but he said these witnesses should be trusted.As for Proctor, Brennan said the jury shouldn't be influenced by the fact he didn't testify. Brennan argued he wasn't needed and that there is no evidence that he did anything to corrupt the investigation.Im not saying you shouldnt be disgusted by the text messages. You should. They are not defensible, Brennan said. I dont stand here and defend impropriety. I dont. But that doesnt change the physical evidence, the scientific evidence and the data.Read's pink-clad supportersDozens of Read supporters, dressed mostly in pink, are camped out waiting for the verdict. They gather behind barricades and across the courthouse each morning to catch a glimpse of Read. Once she has passed, the crowd retires to beach chairs where they swap stories and details about the case.The crowd, some of whom come waving American flags or posters supporting Read or denigrating the prosecution, say they are here because Read could have been one of them. The tight-knit group of mostly women argues the Read case woke them up to a corrupt justice system, and they hope their movement can reform it. Some of them have been out here long before the first trial started.The once-boisterious crowd has mostly quieted down, fearful that any noise they make might hurt Read's case. They have swapped chants and cheers for a hand sign for love that they flash to Read as she walks past. Read often smiles and acknowledges her supporters.There are no opponents of Read outside the court or supporters of O'Keefe. At the end of the first trial, some supporters of O'Keefe came out to the court to support the family and argue for Read's conviction.What are the charges Read faces?Read faces several charges, the most serious being second-degree murder. If she is convicted, she would face a maximum sentence of life in prison. She also faces manslaughter while operating a motor vehicle under the influence, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.She is also charged with involuntary manslaughter, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison; motor vehicle homicide, which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison; as well as operating under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. They carry maximum sentences of 2 1/2 years and 15 years, respectively.Whittle reported from Scarborough, Maine.
