Disgraced ex-FIFA chief Blatter arrives in court for final bid to clear his name over six-year FIFA ban (photos)

Ex-FIFA president Sepp Blatter, 80, today arrived at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in order to clear his name after he was handed an 8 year ban in December brought down to a 6 year ban in February from FIFA by FIFA's ethics and disciplinary committee for making a £1.35million payment to Michel Platini in 2011.

He arrived for his CAS hearing in person after his spokesman confirmed Blatter would attend with his lawyer Lorenz Erni. He hopes his ban can be overturned after claiming he did no wrong.

Georgia man sentenced to 40 years imprisonment for pouring boiling water on gay men (photos)

Martin Blackwell of Georgia on Wednesday was sentenced to 40 years imprisonment after he poured boiling water on a gay couple he caught sleeping together.

On Feb. 12, Martin Blackwell found his girlfriend’s son and a friend sleeping together after the couple worked an overnight shift.

 

Angry and disgusted at the same-sex couple, he filled up a pot with boiling water, soaked the two in bed and yelled, “get out of my house with all that gay.”

“You were soulless, malicious and a violent person on February 12,” judge Henry Newkirk told him on Wednesday'

“You had so many outs where the voice of reason could’ve taken over.”

“I woke up to the most unimaginable pain in my entire life,” Tolbert, who was scalded said during his tearful testimony. “I’m wondering why I’m in so much pain. I’m wondering why I’m wet.”

Tolbert stayed for 10 days in the hospital, while Gooden was there for a month, including two weeks in a coma.

 

The 48-year-old was sentenced to 40 years in prison, after being found guilty on all charges although his defense counsel argued he wasn’t being hateful or malicious, and framed the attack as a lone lapse of judgment. .

“I’m ecstatic,” Tolbert told reporters. “I think justice has been served.”
