Horse Jockey On Life Support; Bermuda SJU Student New Info; Meek Mill's Attorney Files New Motion

A horse jockey is now on life support after an accident occurred on the race tracks at Parx Racing in Bensalem. The accident took place during the ninth race at the track on Monday when the horse of 56-year-old jockey Jose Flores fell during the race. Flores suffered massive head and neck injuries due to the fall and unfortunately the horse had to be euthanized. Out of respect for Flores, all races were cancelled on Tuesday. Flores has more than 4,600 wins over his career as a jockey.

New information about the St. Joe's University student that was found dead in Bermuda has come out. The owner of the Dog House Bar, Frank Arnold, stated that 19-year-old Mark Dombroski was not necessarily sober but not completely intoxicated when he left the bar before he went missing. Arnold stated that Dombroski's parents were at the bar on Sunday to look through hours of security footage from the night Dombroski went missing. Dombroski was later found dead on Monday at the "base of a significant drop at Fort Prospect," a colonial-era fort in a park on the island territory. He was found with his wallet and cell phone. Police also noted that "contrary to recent speculative social media posts, Mark's body was not bound or tied up." A cause of death has still not yet been released and forensic experts are still investigating the area where Dombroski was found. An autopsy will be performed on Wednesday.

Meek Mill's legal team has filed another motion to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that requests the removal of Common Pleas Court Judge Genece Brinkley from the case. In the motion, Mill's legal team states that Brinkley "exceeded the judicial role by sometimes essentially acting as a prosecutor and, at other times, taking an unusual interest in, and trying to inject herself into, [Meek Mill's] personal and professional life." Mill's team also stated that Brinkley's attorney made comments about the case to the media and that he allegedly threatened to sue Mill's legal and management team on behalf of Brinkley. They also stated that the case "involves a pattern of judicial (mis)conduct that has prejudiced the rights of a probationer and threatens to undermine the public's confidence in the integrity of the judicial system." Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner stated that there is a strong possibility of Mill's sentence being reversed. Judge Brinkley has scheduled a hearing for Meek Mill's appeal on April 16th.
