Flasher claim
Ionel Sara-Lates allegedly struck at locations in Luncarty on May 11 and 15.
The 34-year-old, from Spittalfield, made no plea during a brief private hearing at Perth Sheriff Court. He was released on bail.
Boozy Cow
James McRae, 39, of Balgavies Avenue, and 33-year-old
Troy McRae, of Dunarn Street, Newtyle, assaulted Scott Lawrence at The Boozy Cow, Roseangle, on August 24 2019.
Both men admitted repeatedly punching Mr Lawrence on the head and body to his injury.
Neither man was present when the case called at Dundee Sheriff Court but guilty pleas were tendered on their behalf by solicitor.
Seventy-three years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down racially restrictive housing covenants. The case, Shelley v. Kraemer, involved St. Louisans J.D. and Ethel Shelley, who had sought to move into a modest brick house just north of St. Louis Avenue in what is today the Kingsway East neighborhood.
In 1911, the neighborhood enacted a racially restrictive covenant designed to prevent African Americans and Asian Americans from living in the area. Neighbor Louis Kraemer sued to enforce the covenant, barring transfer of the title to the Shelleys.
Though Kraemer lost in court and racially restrictive covenants have been illegal for more than 70 years, their impact can still be felt today. That’s the focus of a new paper by Colin Gordon in the Journal of Urban History.
