Victory! Daniel Hotlzclaw Sentenced Serial rapist Daniel Holtzclaw has just learned his fate. The Oklahoma cop who terrorized and brutalized the bodies of 13 black women will never see the light of day and was handed down a 263 year sentence. Just before the sentencing Holtzclaw’s lawyer tried to file a motion for a new trial but was promptly DENIED. NBC News reports: A former Oklahoma City police officer who was found guilty of raping more than a dozen women while on duty was sentenced to 263 years in prison on Thursday. According to NBC’s Oklahoma City station KFOR, a judge sentenced Daniel Holtzclaw, 29, to 263 years in prison. According to Oklahoma state court records, Holtzclaw’s attorney Scott Adams filed a motion for a new trial — just one day before a judge would officially sentence him. The judge at today’s sentencing hearing denied that motion. Adams claimed that his client was denied a fair trial because “the government made deliberate discovery violations and misrepresentations, undermining confidence in the verdict,” according to court documents obtained by NBC News. In the filing, Adams alleged that a Facebook post by a police detective referenced evidence that was “withheld from the defense by the government.” During Holtzclaw’s trial, thirteen women took the stand and testified that the former cop had coerced them into having sex after threatening to arrest them for possessing drug paraphernalia or on outstanding warrants. All of Holtzclaw’s victims were black women that he stopped while on patrol. GOOD, hopefully he cried in court like the last time. What do YOU think about Daniel Holtzclaw’s sentencing???

Via CBSnews : A New York state sports team made history on Wednesday. As CBS2’s Steve Overmyer reported, the NFL coaching fraternity has officially crossed gender lines. The Buffalo Bills hired the NFL’s first female, full-time coach. Kathryn Smith will be the Bills’ special teams quality control coach. Smith spent twelve seasons in the Jets organization before following Rex Ryan to Buffalo. “She certainly deserves this promotion based on her knowledge and strong commitment,” Ryan said in a statement. CBS affiliate WIVB-TV, Buffalo reported Smith started her career as an intern with the Jets before spending time as a player personnel assistant, and assistant to the head coach.

Is Michael Strahan’s New Girlfriend A Criminal Wow Michael Strahan sure knows how to pick em ! Radar is reporting that his new girlfriend is a grandma robbing criminal! “It remains to be seen how much Michael really knows about his girlfriend’s past!” a source told Radar. The 44-year-old Live! With Kelly and Michael star has been seen with the 27-year-old Florida resident, Kayla, on numerous occasions after calling off his engagement to Eddie Murphy‘s ex-wife Nicole in 2014. Former NFL star, worth an estimated $45 million, took his new girlfriend on a romantic vacation to St. Bart’s last year, and the pair was also seen on a romantic date in Manhattan on Jan. 7. Kayla was a “good girl,” her high school sweetheart Justin Hundley, 28, told Radar, but at some point she changed. “It was like a switch was flipped,” he said. “Almost overnight she became this huge partier.” At age 14, Kayla was arrested for disorderly conduct after getting into a fight in her Port Charlotte, FL., hometown, according to official documents obtained by Radar. Because it was in juvenile court, Radar is unable to determine the outcome of the case. However, an arrest affidavit filed by the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office in May 2005 shows Kayla was involved in a burglary and charged with grand theft. Justin and Kayla, 18 at the time, were accused of breaking into the Port Charlotte home of her then 83-year-old grandma, Margaret Cox, and stealing about $6,000 worth of jewelry. Margaret discovered the shocking theft after coming home where she was recuperating from an illness. She told police she wanted to press charges after a next-door neighbor witnessed Kayla and Justin hanging out inside the home. The next day Kayla called police and confessed her crime. Though it was categorized as a felony, Kayla’s deed was turned over to juvenile authorities once again and Radar is unable to determine the case’s outcome. Damn that’s lowdown. How do you justify robbing your 83-year-old sick grandmother? Sadly Kayla isn’t the only bad apple in the family: Her father, Gerald Quick, was arrested 19 times for crimes including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and drug possession. He died in 2012 at the age of 54. Kayla’s sister, Kara Lee Quick, now 31, has also been arrested in the past on drug charges. When Kayla was 18, Radar learned that she spent four months working a cocktail waitress at a Tampa strip joint called Thee DollHouse, where a source said she knew “how to hustle customers and could clear up to $2,000 a week.” Ooooh a cocktail waitress? SCANDALOUS! We kid. But seriously Strahan should watch his back. From what we recall his first wife really did a number in their divorce. RadarOnline/AKM-GSI
