GRAND FORKS — A jury trial began in Grand Forks Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 10, with the prosecution describing a typical night out gone wrong in an instant, with a woman fighting for her life during a violent, sexual attack. Angel Alberto Torres-Sosa, 32, is charged with two Class A felonies, kidnapping and attempted gross sexual imposition, as well as two Class C felonies, aggravated assault and terrorizing. Class A felonies have a maximum 20-year sentence. ADVERTISEMENT Thirteen people — 12 jurors and an alternate — were chosen during an hours-long jury selection process that began Tuesday morning and extended into the afternoon. Then, at approximately 3:30 p.m., the trial began with opening statements from both parties. Grand Forks County Assistant State's Attorney Justine Hesselbart first stepped forward, and addressed the jury solemnly. She told them that an October night in 2023 was supposed to be like any other for the young woman in the case. She watched the UND hockey game before heading over to the Diamond Lounge, where she would play pool. "Even in the most familiar spaces, our lives can change in an instant," Hesselbart said. The woman was pursued by Torres-Sosa, she said, and instead of giving her a ride home, he took her to his residence. In an unfinished basement with a mattress on the floor, he allegedly attacked the young woman, and choked her when she refused to submit to his sexual advances, Hesselbart said. ADVERTISEMENT "(She) fought for to survive," she said. "This was not a misunderstanding, and no mistake." Once the woman got outside the residence, she ran away, then ultimately called 911, Hesselbart said. The prosecutor finished by telling the jury that justice demands — and the woman deserves — guilty verdicts on all four felony counts. Alexander Reichert, Torres-Sosa's attorney, began his statement by thanking the jurors for their service. He then said the case that will unfold in the next few days will be hard to listen to at times, due to its disturbing allegations. He told the jury to wait until they hear all the evidence before making determinations. "This story does not fit together," Reichert said. Parts may fit but, when considered as a whole, it doesn't make sense, he said. He said the woman has told and will tell conflicting stories about what happened, including how much she remembers; whether she was drunk, drugged or neither; whether any sexual contact took place. ADVERTISEMENT "She ran away from him 'in fear,' but he did not chase her or try to stop her," Reichert said. The state will be unable to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, any of the allegations, he said. The state then called its first witness. The state plans to bring forth evidence that includes the woman's earring and a swab of blood both found in Torres-Sosa's basement, according to Hesselbart. There will be testimony from medical professionals, forensic analysts, law enforcement, eyewitnesses and the woman herself. A notice filed in the case names 29 witnesses in total, but Megan Essig — a Grand Forks County assistant state's attorney and the lead prosecutor in this case — told the Herald it's unlikely every witness will be called to testify. Evidence that has been filed with the court and could be introduced during the trial include a recording of the 911 call, police body camera footage, photos of the woman and her clothing, photos of Torres-Sosa and his residence, surveillance footage, lab reports and video footage of Torres-Sosa's interview with law enforcement. ADVERTISEMENT The defense is not required to do so, but Reichert has filed a documentation stating his intent to call three character witnesses during the trial. It does not say whether Torres-Sosa himself plans to testify — which he is also not required to do. The burden to prove Torres-Sosa's guilt lies with the prosecution, and no determination of guilt or innocence can be made based on whether or not he speaks in his own defense.fortuner gas 。

Left-hander Max Fried agrees to $218 million, 8-year contract with Yankees, AP source says DALLAS (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that Max Fried and the New York Yankees have agreed to a $218 million, eight-year contract, the largest deal for a left-handed pitcher in baseball history. New York made the move two days after outfielder Juan Soto left for a pending $765 million, 15-year contract with the rival Mets. Fried, who turns 31 in January, gets the fourth-highest contract among pitchers behind the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Yankees’ Gerrit Cole and Washington’s Stephen Strasburg. Fried broke the mark for lefties set by David Price at $217 million. Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham on target as Real Madrid beats Atalanta 3-2. Liverpool wins again Real Madrid’s big stars turned on the style to revive the Spanish giant’s faltering Champions League title defense. Galacticos Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham all scored in a 3-2 win at Italian league leader Atalanta. It was only Madrid’s third win in the competition’s revamped league phase and leaves the 15-time champion in the unseeded playoff positions in 18th place. In contrast Liverpool leads the way after maintaining its perfect record in Europe this season after a 1-0 win against Girona. Mohamed Salah scored his 50th Champions League goal to seal it for Liverpool. Analysis: After Juan Soto's megadeal, could MLB see a $1 billion contract? Probably not soon For the second straight Major League Baseball offseason, a norm-shattering contract has been the talk of the winter, with Juan Soto agreeing with the New York Mets on a $765 million, 15-year deal that’s the richest in baseball history. It comes almost exactly one year after the Los Angeles Dodgers forked out a princely sum of $700 million on a 10-year, heavily deferred deal for two-way Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani. The way it’s going, a contract approaching $1 billion doesn’t seem out of the question. But several factors are working against it — at least in the near future. Joe Burrow's home broken into during Monday Night Football in latest pro-athlete home invasion ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio (AP) — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s home was broken into during Monday Night Football in the latest home invasion of a pro athlete in the U.S. Authorities said Tuesday no one was injured in the break-in, but the home was ransacked. Deputies weren’t immediately able to determine what items were stolen. Both the NFL and NBA issued alerts to players following prior break-ins, urging them to take precautions. The homes of Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were broken into in October. In the NBA, Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr. had their homes broken into. Scottie Scheffler in a landslide to win PGA Tour player of the year for third straight time Scottie Scheffler is the PGA Tour player of the year in a vote that had about as much drama as some of his victories. Scheffler earned 91% of the vote in winning the Jack Nicklaus Award for the third straight season. He joins Tiger Woods as the only players to win three straight times. Woods won it five times in a row, and three straight times on another occasion. Scheffler won seven times on the PGA Tour against only the strongest fields. He also won the FedEx Cup. He also won the Masters green jacket and an Olympic gold medal. MLB investigated to ensure no early Sasaki deal in place, pitcher likely to pick team mid-January DALLAS (AP) — Major League Baseball investigated to ensure no team had an advance deal in place for Roki Sasaki, and the agent for the Japanese pitcher says picking a club will be “like the draft in reverse.” On the first day of Sasaki’s 45-day window to sign with an MLB team, agent Joel Wolfe says the 23-year-old right-hander likely will sign shortly after the 2025 international signing pool window opens on Jan. 15 and wouldn’t wait until the Jan. 23 deadline. Sasaki helped Japan win the 2023 World Baseball Classic and has a fastball clocked at 102.5 mph. Cubs Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg says cancer has returned, spread CHICAGO (AP) — Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg says the prostate cancer he thought had been eliminated by radiation has returned and spread. The Chicago Cubs great made the announcement on Instagram on Tuesday. Sandberg announced in January that he had metastatic prostate cancer and in August said he was cancer-free after chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Sandberg was the National League MVP in 1984 and a 10-time All-Star during 15 seasons for the Cubs from 1982 to 1997, with 282 home runs and 344 stolen bases. After his playing career, he served as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies from 2013 to 2015, going 119-159. Nolan Arenado open to switch from third base to first and leaving Cardinals for a team he approves DALLAS (AP) — Nolan Arenado is open to a trade from the St. Louis Cardinals, at age 33 wanting to be on a World Series contender. Agent Joel Wolfe says “it’s like his biological clock is ticking and if the team’s not winning it’s driving him crazy every day.” An eight-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove third baseman, Arenado is open to a switch to first base. He hit .272 with 16 homers and 71 RBIs this year, his poorest season in a decade. St. Louis acquired Arenado from Colorado ahead of the 2021 season. Washington Nationals win lottery for No. 1 pick in next amateur baseball draft, Angels No. 2 DALLAS (AP) — The Washington Nationals will have the No. 1 overall pick in the amateur draft next summer. The Nationals won the draft lottery through a drawing of ping-pong balls at the winter meetings in Dallas. Unlike last year, when the Nationals were ineligible after initially coming out with the top spot, they will get to make the first pick in July in Atlanta during All-Star Game festivities. The Los Angeles Angels got the second overall pick for next summer. Seattle, Colorado, St. Louis and Pittsburgh round out the six lottery picks. Athletes in $2.8 billion college lawsuit tell judge they want to create a players' association The athletes whose lawsuit against the NCAA is primed to pave the way for schools to pay them directly also want a players’ association to represent them in the complex contract negotiations that have overtaken the industry. Grant House, Sedona Prince and Nya Harrison wrote to the judge overseeing what’s known as the House Settlement, saying that although they are generally happy with the terms of the proposed settlement “there still remains a critical need for structural changes to protect athletes and prevent the failures of the past.”
