DISTRICT ATTORNEY VANCE ANNOUNCES SENTENCING OF SERIAL BURGLAR WHO TARGETED WOMEN ON UPPER EAST SIDE

Tyrone Hunter Sentenced to 18 Years-to-Life in Prison

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., today announced the sentencing of TYRONE HUNTER, 56, to 18 years-to-life in prison for committing three burglaries on the Upper East Side in November 2010. On January 30, 2012, the defendant pled guilty to one count of Burglary in the Second Degree and two counts of Attempted Burglary in the Second Degree.

“The defendant went on a one-man crime spree over two days, which showed no signs of abating before he was apprehended,” said District Attorney Vance. “His lengthy prison sentence will keep a violent criminal off our streets and will prevent him for carrying out future attacks on women.”

According to documents filed in court, on November 24, 2010 at approximately 1:15 p.m., the defendant approached a woman in the hallway of her building on East 69th Street, and forced her into her apartment, where he demanded her property, made her undress, and blindfolded her. The defendant then stole jewelry, a television, and a laptop from the victim. Later on that same day at approximately 9 p.m., HUNTER followed a woman into her building on East 83rd Street, placed his hand over her mouth, and demanded money. However, the defendant did not steal anything from her. The following day, HUNTER followed a third woman into her apartment on East 89th Street. Once inside, he attacked her and threw her to the ground before fleeing without any property.

Assistant District Attorney Shanda Strain prosecuted this case, under the supervision of Assistant District Attorney Kerry O’Connell, Chief of Trial Bureau 80.

TYRONE HUNTER, D.O.B. 08/26/1955
Bronx, N.Y.

Convicted:

Burglary in the Second Degree, a class C felony, one count

The Myth, The Matrix, and The Malpractice: Unpacking the Sophia Stewart Saga

The internet loves a good underdog story, especially one where a lone creator battles Hollywood giants. Few tales have captivated online forums and social media quite like that of Sophia Stewart, the woman who famously sued the creators of The Matrix and The Terminator, claiming they stole her work, "The Third Eye." Her story is a complex tapestry woven with claims of stolen genius, judicial conflicts, and attorney negligence. Let's untangle the legal facts from the compelling narrative and examine the heart of her claims. The Core Allegation: "The Third Eye" and the Blockbusters Sophia Stewart alleged that her copyrighted manuscript, "The Third Eye," conceived in 1981 and finalized in 1983, was the blueprint for two of the most iconic sci-fi franchises: The Terminator (first film 1984) and The Matrix (first film 1999).

Charlie Kirk Was Right, and Charlie Kirk Was Wrong: The Enduring Legacy of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative commentator, has argued that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was unnecessary, contending that the 14th Amendment should have been sufficient to guarantee equal rights. There's a compelling argument to be made for both sides of this statement. Let's break down where Kirk was right and, more importantly, where historical context reveals he was profoundly wrong. Where Charlie Kirk Was "Right" (In Theory) Kirk's theoretical point hinges on the idea that fundamental constitutional principles, if interpreted and enforced correctly, should have negated the need for additional legislation. And, in a perfect world, he would be correct. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, explicitly states that "no State shall... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The intent was to ensure all citizens, particularly newly freed African Americans, were treated equally under the law. If this ...
