A$AP Rocky’s long-delayed trial on assault charges will begin Tuesday with jury selection in Los Angeles. The 36-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Rakim Mayers, stands accused of firing two bullets at an old friend, Terrell Ephron , in Hollywood in 2021 and striking him in the hands. He has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Superior Court Judge Mark Arnold said he wants the jury to be seated rather quickly and placed limits on the time for questioning prospective jurors. Rocky’s trial is expected to last about three weeks . Rihanna, who shares two children with Rocky and has been dating him since 2020, is unlikely to attend the trial, according to defense attorneys. The “Praise the Lord” artist faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted. A$AP Rocky and Rihanna celebrate Fenty Beauty & Fenty Skin at Goya Studios on February 11, 2022 in Los Angeles, California.

The British teenager who stabbed three little girls to death at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class pleaded guilty to all charges Monday. Axel Rudakubana, 18, was in court for what was scheduled to be the start of his trial on three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder. But when asked for his plea, Rudakubana — who hadn’t spoken in court throughout the entire judicial process — shocked the room by replying “guilty” to each charge against him. He will be sentenced Thursday and faces up to life in prison. Rudakubana fatally stabbed three girls — Alice Da Silva Aguiar, 9; Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Bebe King, 6 — at a small event in Southport on July 29. The girls had gathered with others around their age for a dance class soundtracked by the songs of Taylor Swift. In the vicious surprise attack, Rudakabana also stabbed eight other young girls , dance instructor Leanne Lucas and a bystander who tried to intervene, John Hayes. He was captured at the scene by police. ...

An arctic air mass settled over New York City and much of the country Sunday evening, bringing a deep freeze and the chance of more snow than the city has seen in three years. Between 3 and 5 inches of snow was expected in five boroughs overnight, according to the National Weather Service. Up to 6 inches could fall in some areas, meteorologists said. “It remains very possible that any coastal area in the advisory sees locally up to 6 inches of snow ,” NWS forecasters wrote. “This will also likely depend on how much initial mixing of rain occurs and the development of any heavy snow banding.” The snow started falling Sunday afternoon, with a slight mix of hail. As temperatures dropped, precipitation was expected to be all snow overnight before stopping around 1 a.m. Monday. And while temperatures remained in the mid-to-low 30s Sunday afternoon, they were expected to dip into the teens overnight . By 7 a.m. Monday, the wind chill was predicted to be 9 degrees. “Any untreated road...

Eleven games above .500 is an impressive mark, but when the bar is set at a championship, even minor imperfections can feel like glaring failures. The Knicks have let a few too many winnable games slip away, including Friday’s 116-99 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves . That game marked their sixth loss of the last nine outings and the fourth loss in six home games at Madison Square Garden to start the New Year — a disappointing stretch given a favorable slate of 14 home games in a 16-game span. “Obviously [we’re] not taking advantage [of the home stand]. Lost to some really good teams and it’s something that we just need to get back on track,” team captain Jalen Brunson said after practice at the Tarrytown training facility Sunday afternoon. “It’s going to be a roller coaster but it’s all about how we manage it and how we look forward. Yeah, we’ve already messed up. We already lost games at home. But we can’t just dwell on it and be like, ‘Alright, it sucks.’ No, what are we goin...
