Family of man who got into parked Azusa police SUV and found dead days later files lawsuit

Family members saying they want “justice and answers” for a 37-year-old man who died inside a police SUV parked outside the Azusa Police Department have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging negligence on the part of officers tasked with overseeing the man’s well-being. The body of Eric Valencia, a father of two, was discovered in the back seat of a police vehicle on March 26, days after he had been released from police custody. Surveillance video shows Valencia climbing into the back seat of the unlocked police SUV, which was parked by the station awaiting maintenance. Civil rights attorneys representing Valencia’s family say he was suffering from alcohol withdrawal and psychosis and that police chose to release him from custody rather than get him help. The attorneys also accused police of not taking family members seriously when they reported Valencia missing, and of at one…

Randy Bennett thrilled to be back home to lead Arizona State basketball

Bennett grew up about 10 minutes from Arizona State's campus and has always rooted for the Sun Devils, even during his 25 years with the Gaels. So when the Arizona State job opened, coinciding with Gonzaga's departure from the West Coast Conference, the 64-year-old coach decided it was time to come home. "How many guys get a chance to coach in their hometown at the big school?" Bennett said. "I've always thought it could be a great job. I still think it can be." Bennett had plenty of success at Saint Mary's, leading the Gaels to the NCAA Tournament 12 times while earning WCC coach of the year honors seven times. He faces a different kind of challenge at Arizona State. While Saint Mary's typically only had Gonzaga to worry about, the Sun Devils play in the Big 12, one of the nation's toughest conferences with six teams ranked in the AP Top 25 preseason poll. Arizona State had some…

How the law protecting Americans from surprise medical bills is driving up healthcare costs

by Lindsey Murtagh, Brown University, [This article first appeared in The Conversation, republished with permission] Imagine you get hit by a car. An ambulance brings you to the nearest hospital. Your private health insurance covers emergency care, but the hospital isn’t in your plan’s network. Before 2022, if you received emergency care from an out-of-network provider or hospital, you could get hit with an extra, often huge bill on top of what you owe as a copay, coinsurance or deductible. A law called the No Surprises Act, which took effect in 2022, was designed to protect people with private health insurance from just these situations. It limits your costs to what you would have paid if the ambulance had brought you to an in-network hospital or you were treated by an in-network provider instead. As a health policy researcher and a former federal employee who helped draft the rules to…

Chargers vs. Rams bold predictions for NFL Week 8

The Rams and Chargers will face off in a Battle for LA in Week 8. Here are 3 bold predictions ahead of this huge matchup. The NFL teams based in Los Angeles are not having a great first half of the 2026 NFL season. Both the Chargers and Rams combined have three wins on the season headed into Week 8. The Rams are doing all of the heavy lifting here, but even they are having a disappointing season compared to their offseason expectations. It seems a Rams vs. Chargers Super Bowl is not in the cards this season. While both teams have been frustrating, they are in completely different situations ahead of Week 8. The Rams are very much alive in the NFC playoff race, but they need to continue stacking wins to remain competitive. Meanwhile, the Chargers are 0-6 and somehow still think they'll compete by the end of the season. This game means a lot for both teams, but the Rams arguably have much…
