4+ hour, 5+ min ago (654+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. " A man who was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison in 2021 for a murder in Syracuse was given the same sentence Monday after he was found guilty a second time. His first conviction was overturned in 2024 because a potential juror had nodded his head instead of giving verbal confirmation that he could remain unbiased. Miequin Cheese, 34, got a new trial and, last month, the jury found him guilty of fatally shooting Lakquan Golden, 26, nine times on a porch full of people at a Rockland Avenue home in June 2019. Judge Matthew Doran sentenced Cheese to 25 years to life in prison for murder and 15 years for two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, for a total sentence of 40 years to life. Cheese will get credit for time already served. Euhura Grainger, Golden's mother, spoke in court about the loss…...

" Syracuse-born rapper Nau'Jour Grainger, better known as Toosii, has committed to play football for Fran Brown, Grainger announced Monday on social media.

5+ hour, 16+ min ago (546+ words) STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. " A nor'easter is expected to impact New York state Tuesday, bringing mostly rain to New York City, while some areas to the north and west see snowfall, according to AccuWeather senior meteorologist John Feerick. "The perception is nor'easter comes with a lot of snow. I don't think that's gonna be the case, at least for Staten Island," Feerick said. "There's not enough cold air in place. It looks like it's going to be mostly just rain for our area." The New York City area will remain dry through Monday night and into the Tuesday early morning commute. The rain is expected to begin between 8 and 10 a.m. Tuesday.

5+ hour, 58+ min ago (516+ words) New York State is changing its point system for drivers in 2026, affecting driver's licenses and potentially car insurance. According to WHEC and WHAM, the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles' new rules for points have already been approved the the state legislature and will likely start being enforced in February. One of the biggest changes is how much easier it will be for drivers to accumulate enough penalties to have their license suspended. According to the DMV, the Driver Violation Point System is designed "to identify and take action against high-risk drivers." Points are assigned for traffic violations, and currently anyone who gets 11 points in 18 months faces a possible suspension of their driver's license. Under the new system, suspension will be possible with 10 points in 24 months. At the same time, many violations are increasing in points. According to the state's proposal,…...

7+ hour, 12+ min ago (337+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. " Syracuse has fired several members of its coaching staff, according to multiple reports, including On3. Special teams coordinator Ricky Brumfield, offensive line coach Dale Williams, defensive backs coach Joe Schaefer and linebackers coach/co-defensive coordinator Robert Wright were relieved of their duties Monday. Brumfield replaced James Vollono after the 2024 season in which Fran Brown was displeased with his special teams unit. All other coaches have been with Brown since he first took the Syracuse job in late 2023. Syracuse struggled to tackle, again, and struggled to defend against the pass in the middle of the field. Outside of freshman Antoine Deslauriers and sophomore Jamie Tremble, Syracuse received inconsistent play from its linebackers. Syracuse's defense was bad overall, with just two of its starters earning a Pro Football Focus grade of 70 or better. Deslaurier was the next closest with a grade of…...

Now the team travels north to Foxborough to take on the Patriots, who have everything to play for. They have been able to pass the ball with Drake Maye emerging as one of the premier young quarterback talents in the league." It will be important to get to him and make it difficult for him to concentrate on delivering the football. To do that, the edge rushers need to win against the Patriots' tackles." On the other side, the Patriots will look to exploit the Giants' weakness in their run defense, and part of that will be attacking the edge rushers to run outside or off tackle. This…...
