Judge Blocks Sale of Graceland
A Memphis judge stopped the foreclosure sale of Elvis Presley’s iconic Graceland estate Wednesday, days after his granddaughter Riley Keough filed a lawsuit saying a company forged documents to force the sale.
Keough’s lawsuit claimed Naussany Investments and Private Lending LLC fabricated documents and signatures to make it appear that her deceased mother, Lisa Marie Presley, took out a $3.8 million loan and used Graceland as collateral in 2018.
Keough also submitted evidence that her mother never borrowed any money from Nassauny, with a notary public agreeing that they had never notarized anything Lisa Marie had supposedly signed.
The judge called Graceland a unique piece of real estate and ruled the property should remain with the Presley family until the validity of the documents could be verified.
Daily Pot Use Surpasses Daily Drinking
For the first time, the number of Americans who report using marijuana daily surpasses the number of people who say they have a drink every day.
An analysis of national survey data shows that in 2022, nearly 18 million people reported using cannabis daily or near-daily, compared to 14.7 million daily or near-daily drinkers. In 1992, less than 1 million people said they used marijuana daily.
Illinois lawmakers passed legislation to change the word “offender” to “justice-impacted individual” Tuesday in a move Republicans describe as disrespectful to victims of violent crime.
House Bill 4409, which passed both houses, is part of a move to help parole-eligible prisoner find alternatives to jail. The new terminology is meant to reduce the stigma of being an “offender.”
Republicans claim the Democrat-authored bill removes accountability for people who commit crimes and creates a system that helps the criminal rather than crime victims.
The bill would change state documents to reflect the new “justice-impacted individual” term in place of “offender. It’s been sent to Gov. J. B. Pritzker for his signature.
