Jungels wins No. 9 stage
CHATEL LES PORTES DU SOLEIL, France -- A solo attack by Bob Jungels gave him his first Tour de France stage victory on the first Alpine finish of this year's race, while two-time defending champion Tadej Pogacar retained the leader's yellow jersey after the ninth stage on Sunday.
The 29-year-old Jungels, who rides for the AG2R Citron Team, set off on his own with almost 40 miles remaining of the mountainous 120-mile route from Aigle in Switzerland to the ski resort of Chatel les Portes du Soleil.
The Luxembourg native had time to sit up and stretch out his arms before punching the air in delight as he crossed the line 22 seconds ahead of Jonathan Castroviejo and 26 ahead of Carlos Verona.
Stabbing trial part of Philly 'W'
MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. -- An appeals court has ordered a new trial for a New Jersey man convicted in a stabbing death shortly after the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2018.
The court cited an assistant prosecutor's repeatedly calling the defendant a liar and also cited errors in the judge's instructions to the jury.
Supreme Life, 60, of Lumberton was sentenced to 20 years after he was convicted in Burlington County in March 2019 of passion provocation manslaughter in the death of Moriah Walker, 26, of Brooklyn, N.Y., and the attempted murder of another New York man.
Life, formerly known as Charles Hoskins, testified that as people were outside celebrating the Eagles' February 2018 win, he teased his son, a Dallas Cowboys fan, and his son responded with an epithet about the Eagles. He said two New York men leaving a nearby party overheard the remark and attacked his son, and he acted in self-defense.
During the trial, Life acknowledged having lied in a statement to police, and the appeals court said that was fair game for prosecutors to point out.
