Kevin Spacey Awarded for, Lifetime Achievement in Italy.
On January 16, Kevin Spacey made his first
public speaking appearance since a string of
sexual assault allegations derailed his career.
.
NBC reports that Spacey appeared
at the National Cinema Museum
in the northern Italian city of Turin.
.
Spacey was awarded
the lifetime achievement
award from the museum.
.
While appearing in front of a sold-out crowd,
Spacey reportedly discussed some of his key roles
before introducing his 1999 film, 'American Beauty.'.
I am truly blessed and grateful
and humbled.
And my heart is very
full tonight toward the National
Museum of Cinema for having had
the “le palle” to invite me tonight, Kevin Spacey, via NBC.
By presenting this award,
they are making a strong defense
of artistic achievement and for
that they should be applauded, Kevin Spacey, via NBC.
NBC reports that it was Spacey's first public speaking
engagement in five years since multiple allegations
of sexual assault surfaced against the actor.
Spacey lost his role
on Netflix's popular 'House of Cards' series
in addition to reportedly losing other opportunities.
In August, a Los Angeles judge ordered Spacey to pay
$30.9 million to the makers of 'House of Cards' for violating
his contract by sexually harassing crew members.
In June, Spacey will go to trial in London facing
a dozen charges alleging that he sexually
assaulted four men between 2001 and 2013.
The Group of Seven will meet in Turin on Monday, in the first big session of environment talks since the world pledged to transition away from coal, oil and gas at the UN's COP28 climate summit in December.

Law Enforcement Hiring , Increased in 2023 , Following Years of Decline.
NBC reports that police departments in the United States
have seen their first increase in ranks, changing course
on a historic exodus of officers in recent years.
According to a recent survey,
2023 saw more officers sworn in
than any of the previous four years. .
At the same time, the survey by the Police Executive
Research Forum (PERF) also found that fewer law
enforcement officers resigned or retired in 2023. .
Law enforcement numbers had been declining following
the COVID pandemic and nationwide protests against
police brutality following the death of George Floyd. .

I just think that the past four
years have been particularly
challenging for American policing.
And our survey shows we’re
finally starting to turn a corner, Chuck Wexler, Executive director of PERF, via NBC.
NBC reports that declining numbers left
many police departments with a shortage of
officers, which resulted in slower response times.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of PERF, warns that many police departments are still struggling to recruit and retain officers.
According to Wexler, law enforcement , "isn't out of the woods yet.".
At least a dozen smaller police departments in
the nation have been forced to disband, leaving those
municipalities reliant upon state or county police forces.
NBC reports that in addition to increased pay and
benefits, many police departments have chosen to
change application requirements to increase hiring

Harvey Weinstein’s Rape Conviction , Is Overturned.
New York's Court of Appeals
overturned the movie mogul's 2020 rape conviction by a vote of 4-3 on April 25.
According to the appeals court, trial judge James Burke "prejudiced Weinstein with 'egregious' improper rulings," AP reports. .
For example, he let women bring forth allegations against Weinstein that he wasn't charged with.
The action was an "abuse of judicial discretion," the appeals court said. .
Without question, this is appalling,
shameful, repulsive conduct that
could only diminish defendant’s
character before the jury, New York's Court of Appeals, via AP.
Although this conviction has been overturned, the 72-year-old will remain in prison due to a separate 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles.
His lawyers have chosen to
appeal that conviction as well. .
Jennifer Bonjean, who helped free Bill Cosby from
prison, issued a statement about the development.

and it wasn’t a fair conviction… , Jennifer Bonjean, Harvey Weinstein's attorney, via AP.
It interfered with his
presumption of innocence in
a significant way in California, Jennifer Bonjean, Harvey Weinstein's attorney, via AP.
On April 25, prosecutors said that "the legal issues identified by the New York Court of Appeal are
not present in the Los Angeles County Case.".
The Manhattan district attorney's office
said they will "do everything in our power to
retry this case, and remain steadfast in our commitment to survivors of sexual assault."
