The student paid cash for the edibles, which were delivered directly to them at a park in their neighborhood.According to an investigation, Rice communicated with multiple juveniles through two Instagram accounts; "top2treats" and "toptreatz4." He allegedly quoted specific prices, delivery fees and available THC products; including Fruity Pebbles bars, cookies, brownies and Cinnamon Toast Crunch bars.Evidence proved Rice knew he was selling drugs to children as young as 11 years old, officials say. Detectives also found Rice was soliciting juveniles to help him sell the drug-laced edible for a discount.

Bonjean told the jurors, reminding them they were chosen because they promised they would be able to consider only the facts presented in court.

(Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) HARRISBURG, Pa. - Supporters of the bill say it would help stem a tide of frivolous requests that can tie up state resources, while opponents say it's unlikely to cure the problem and probably unconstitutional, to boot.The bill passed the House with a 112-88 vote Tuesday and now goes to the Senate.

Emmerdale star Michael Wildman, best known for his role as Al Chapman in the ITV Dales, has taken a subtle swipe at rival channel BBC.He branded ITV the "poster channel" for Covid social distancing rules in a veiled jab at rival soaps like EastEnders.Despite his swipe, all three major soaps used distancing measures in their filming, with crew members substituting tennis balls on sticks for mouths in racy kissing scenes and employing various other camera tricks.Soap fans in particular poked fun at Tyrone's 'kiss' with Alina on the Corrie cobbles, with regular extras Alex Mulvaney and his wife Hannah stepping in as substitute stars - not too successfully.But now social distancing has been scrapped, actors can get back to some serious snogging, which Chas star Lucy Pargeter admitted was "very weird".Speaking exclusively to Daily Star and other press, she admitted of the upcoming scenes - which see Chas and Al share a snog after consoling each other about their woes: "It was very weird. "Instead of people saying, 'You can’t stand next to them, you can’t touch them, you’re too close, you’re a metre away - don’t go any closer!', now they’re saying, 'Can you just stand there literally lip to lip, and we’ll just line up the cameras?'"It’s very strange going back the other way now."Michael then agreed: "Absolutely, it was incredibly weird.
