A second grand juror who was tasked with deciding which police officers involved in the shooting at Breonna Taylor's apartment that led to her death should be charged has come forward to criticize the process. In September, a grand jury charged one police officer with three counts of wanton endangerment for firing his gun at an apartment complex. No officer who fired their guns toward Taylor or her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, were charged in connection with Taylor's homicide. 489

A small business in Brooklyn is taking on Congress, lobbying for insurance coverage for future pandemics. While not an easy battle, the National Retail Federation says these conversations have to be had now in order to keep retailers open.Ann Cantrell, speaking in front of the US House Financial Services Committee, said, "The past few months have been the darkest of my life.”The owner of "Annie's Blue Ribbon General Store" in Brooklyn said it's time for real solutions."Insurance companies should not be in the practice of denying policy holders coverage when they need it the most. What happened to 'you're in good hands' or 'like a good neighbor,' Cantrell said.Speaking on behalf of the National Retail Federation, Cantrell pleaded her case, saying, "We are a community store and people look to us as a pillar of light and hope in the neighborhood. Kids meet their friends at the shop to pick out a gift for their teacher, parents bribe their kids with a treat if they get a shot at the doctor or reward them if they get a good report card."The pandemic, she said, nearly shut her business down. She said she pays ,000 a year for what she calls "all risk" insurance. She was under the impression there was no risk that wouldn't be covered.“When we (were) closed by the governor (New York’s Andrew Cuomo), literally the government shut us down,” Cantrell said. “I put in another call, each time saying that viruses were not covered under business interruption insurance.”The National Retail Federation said Cantrell is a voice for retailers everywhere. And while it was able to get a hearing, the organization says many insurance companies aren't on board.“What they’re saying is this will not be isolated to one area, this seems to be unending and keeps going on and on and on so they’re afraid it’ll cost trillions of dollars,” said Leon Buck, the National Retail Federation’s vice president of banking and financial services. “But what we’re saying is we don’t think so. We think if we’re paying into the fund and the federal government has money, the insurance companies will be fine."“If we were in a COVID-21, for instance, if this happened again, maybe another virus, the business would be protected,” Buck added. “They’d file a claim with their insurance carrier whom they pay monthly premiums to and the federal government would help pick up the tab.”As for Cantrell, who has loved general stores since she was a kid, this is about speaking up because someone has to.“It's not just small companies like mine, it’s big companies. No one is covered under business interruption insurance,” Cantrell said.Luckily, she said she built a good website and the holidays and her Paycheck Protection Program loan will carry her through. She hopes the next Congress will take up the issue. In the meantime, she reminds everyone to shop small. 2855

A viral video of a police officer hitting a 14-year-old girl during an arrest has caused outrage in a Florida community.The video -- posted to Instagram on Friday -- shows a girl being held down by two officers, one man and one woman. The male officer hits the girl in the side twice as he holds her shorts."Why you hitting her?" someone in the video yells. "She can't do that, her hands underneath her, the f*** you hitting her for?"The police department in Coral Springs, about 29 miles northeast of Fort Lauderdale, said in a statement on Facebook on Friday that the video does not show the entire incident that led to the arrest. 641

A trendy shampoo making all sorts of promises has proven to be a real head-scratcher for both consumers and state investigators.Monat is mostly sold person-to-person through multi-level marketing.In 2018, 13 Investigates first broke the story of allegations of balding and scalp sores by some of its users.Lather, rinse, repeat: Monat is once again under the microscope, this time signing a compliance agreement and issuing refunds."I started noticing my hair was just falling out in handfuls," said Pam Benson of Moore, OK. She says her problems started after using Monat hair care products."I had also tried this on my daughter and my granddaughter. I tried the children's version on my granddaughter and her hair was falling out and my daughter's hair fell out."Benson says before Monat, "My hair was so thick that I couldn't put a ponytail holder around it twice." And after... "my hair got so thin I could put it around four or five times."When she complained to the company, she says a Monat rep told her, "It was detox. And they said your hair has to detox and get rid of all the build-up that's on your hair."That's just one of the claims the multi-level marketer is no longer allowed to make. In August, Monat signed an "Assurance of Voluntary Compliance" to resolve an investigation by the Attorney General in Florida, where Monat is headquartered. The attorney general's office launched its investigation into Monat's claims and business practices after a 13 investigation in March of 2018. The office was aware of more than 800 consumer complaints across the country."I had a very close friend who insisted that this was the best thing since sliced bread," said Las Vegas Realtor Lynne Bloomquist.She spent nearly 0 on Monat products in July 2018 but was able to get a refund after complaining to Monat that she had problems with her shampoo right away."My hair came out not feeling clean," Bloomquist said. She told them her hair lost its natural curl. And her scalp?"The biggest problem was the continuous itching," she said. Women across the country shared similar experiences in our initial investigation."I literally had almost a baseball size of hair in my hand. It's devastating," said Dana Sohovich, of San Diego in a 2018 interview."She's lost 3/4 of it. Her hair is breaking off," said Jessica Deetz, of Indianapolis, talking about her baby daughter. "I found massive amounts of hair--that were concerning--in her crib.""It was supposed to strengthen your hair," said Heather Fox, of Phoenix. "It was an expensive product and I thought it would help my hair, but instead, I'm devastated."The Florida agreement addresses those concerns. Attorney General Ashley Moody released this statement: "Consumers deserve full transparency and disclosure when purchasing products. Through our action, the company is permanently barred from making false or misleading statements in its marketing and sale of its beauty products, including with respect to its discount offers, and from making unsubstantiated claims regarding the supposed health benefits, safety, performance or efficacy of its products. I am also glad that my Consumer Protection Division secured refunds for consumers who relied on the company’s sales pitches and bought its products. I encourage any consumer who believes they were misled by the company and purchased a beauty product based upon the company’s untrue or unsubstantiated marketing and sales pitches to please contact my office—they may be eligible for a refund.” Consumers can contact our office by calling 1(866) 9NO-SCAM or file a complaint online at MyFloridaLegal.com.In the agreement, Monat says it has fully refunded ,000 to consumers so far, adding that it fully cooperated with the attorney general and presented "Thousands of pages of clinical studies that demonstrate (product) safety and efficacy... Acted reasonably and in good faith and conducted business fairly and honestly." The attorney general takes no position on those claims.In a new video supplied to the Attorney General as part of their ongoing compliance review, Monat Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer Tom Hoolihan talked about the agreement with executives and market partners earlier this month."You will hear that we can't claim we're vegan, we can't claim the benefits of our products. That's absolutely false," Hoolihan says. "We’ve got to make sure that the claims that we make are based on reliable and competent data. Are we vegan? Yes. Can we say that we’re gluten free? Yes. Can we say that we’re Leaping Bunny certified? Absolutely."Per the compliance agreement, Monat can't make any product claims that aren't supported by reliable, objective scientific evidence accepted by experts. The company must also preserve all data and documents about any clinical test or study, including who sponsored it. In signing the AVC, Monat didn't admit to any violations."You shouldn't be allowed to harm someone and say oh, I won't do it anymore. And then it be OK," said consumer Pam Benson. "Just because they didn't take accountability doesn't mean it didn't happen."There was no civil penalty, but Monat has to pay 0,000 to the A.G. to cover attorney's fees, investigative costs, and future enforcement."We had some issues, we took care of those issues, and going forward we’re going to make sure we don’t have those issues again. And it's all good," Hoolihan said in Monat's September Director Webinar. "I'm not worried about it. You shouldn't be worried about it. Ray (Urdaneta) and Stuart (MacMillan) aren't worried about it. It's boring legal stuff."Attorney Janet Varnell sees it differently. "This was a major investigation. And I don't believe for one minute that they should be taking it as lightly as they obviously are."Varnell represents plaintiffs in a pending class-action lawsuit against Monat that includes cases consolidated from across the country."We do not believe, and I do not believe as (the consumers') lawyer, that they (Monat) were operating on a sound scientific basis for making the types of claims they were making. This shampoo does not re-grow your hair! They can't prove that today and they couldn't prove it when they first started selling it."The lawsuit is separate from the Attorney General's action. Varnell sees both as consumer victories."The single most important thing that any Attorney General's office can do is get injunctive relief that stops bad practices. And that has definitely happened."On that September video call, Monat President Stuart MacMillan described some of the company's critics as "Haters.""Don't let the haters dictate to you what you can and cannot say," MacMillan tells the company's sales force. "Let that come from us."13 Investigates discovered something that came from them after signing the agreement with the Florida attorney general: In screenshots posted about a new sunscreen, Monat market partners claim Monat's Sun Veil SPF 30 is "Approved by the Skin Cancer Foundation." But in an email shared with 13 Investigates, the Skin Cancer Foundation said, "Monat has not submitted an application for Sun Veil SPF 30 and therefore it has not earned the Seal of Recommendation for being a safe and effective broad-spectrum sunscreen."We questioned Monat about that and they sent the following statement: "Some independent Market Partners may be getting a little ahead of themselves following our announcement of our forthcoming Sun Veil SPF 30 product. And, that’s our fault based on an announcement we made at a company event for our sales force two weeks ago. Indeed, we have submitted an application for a Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation and as of Monday afternoon, September 21, 2020 the Foundation has notified us that our application has been approved. The product has not yet launched and is not yet available for sale. We are a proud member of the Skin Cancer Foundation Corporate Council. We remain in close touch with the Florida Attorney General’s Office to ensure we are in compliance with the Assurance of Voluntary Compliance that stemmed from matters related to our rapid growth in 2017 and 2018."The Florida attorney general is currently looking into the sunscreen claims. Per their agreement, for the next five years, Monat must allow the attorney general representatives access to any office, warehouse, retail location, or document storing facility to inspect and copy records and take sworn testimony. Monat must also quickly respond to customer complaints via a dedicated customer support number and email address.Click here to read the full agreement.Addendum to the court filingMonat sent the following expanded statement about the AVC: "We have been working closely with the Florida Attorney General’s office to address a number of matters related to customer relations and our rapid growth since 2017. We worked closely with the Florida Attorney General’s office to address a number of consumer complaints they received, providing thousands of pages of documentation and addressing each and every compliant. Some of the complaints also derived from overly aggressive marketing claims from some Market Partners. After a two-year process, we are pleased this matter has come to a close with no findings of wrongdoing. Our working relationship with the Florida AG’s office was productive and positive and they brought some important matters to light while empowering us to address them. We have clarified and more carefully addressed our marketing messages and our process for handling complaints to improve the customer experience. We grew incredibly fast in 2017 and 2018 – faster than we expected. We also grew faster than we were prepared for and as a result, we had some issues to address. We are confident, however, those issues around customer service, product returns, and clarity on our marketing messages have been resolved. We do not claim to be perfect, but over the last few years, we have worked hard to make great strides in building our corporate infrastructure: · We welcomed a new Vice President of Customer Care · Built out an enhanced customer service department · Started and then expanded our Compliance & Legal Department · As part of this compliance effort, we are now taking a more rigid approach to monitoring Market Partner messages and claims · We also welcomed a new Chief Science Officer Now, as we approach a billion dollars in sales with more than 2 million customers in 5 markets around the world, we continue to focus on manufacturing the safest and effective premium hair and skincare products. Each year we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars – over a million now in total -- to conduct thousands of tests to ensure our products are safe and effective. We continue to engage third-party scientific testing laboratories to validate the safety and effectiveness of our products. In each case the findings are conclusive -- our products are safe and effective for their intended purpose. Our company is stronger today because of our experience with the State of Florida and we look forward to a bright future for our employees, our Market Partners and our more than 2 million customers worldwide."Click here for more of our previous coverage.Click here for previous story about accusations of strong-arm legal tactics to silence critics. 11396

A new social media trend has one West Michigan photographer capturing the reactions of two people meeting for the very first time in a hybrid blind date/photoshoot.Hailey Estill started shooting photos professionally just a few months ago. She has been working to get her business Candid Captures by Hayley off the ground in a few different ways.Estill graduated from college with a degree in psychology and has been looking into how she can meld her passion for creative photography with her knowledge of how the human mind works.And so, in a poetic meshing of her different skill sets, she began arranging and shooting what she calls "stranger shoots".Estill says she is "interested in both the art and the psyche behind two people meeting and getting intimate pictures taken.”On Monday evening she let FOX 17 tag along on her latest shoot.“They're all gonna have different outcomes, because you're just doing it with completely different people every time,” Estill said.At this shoot, a man and a woman from Grand Rapids would meet for the very first time, as Estill hangs back and takes a series of photos that could easily be confused for an engagement shoot.Danny and Caitlin, both in their early twenties, walked towards each other with their faces covered by bandannas.Estill says she will often give the participants prompts while shooting, telling them to whisper different trivia facts about themselves to one another.“So I’m going to tell you guys to go in the middle of the road there and slow dance for a minute," Estill told Danny and Caitlin during their photoshoot at Crescent Park in downtown Grand Rapids."And then Danny, you go first and tell her 3 things about you. And after, I want you to tell him 3 things about you."While Estill says not every couple ends up hitting it off right away, Danny and Caitlin seemed quite smitten.“I think I'm a pretty outgoing person, easy to get along with. So this wasn't super out of my comfort zone. I'm pretty good right now, I don't know about him," Caitlin said after the photoshoot finished up."The entire time I was kind of just like, Wow, she's beautiful. Like, I can't wait to get to know her," Danny added. “I hope there's something here… I mean, I have good feelings about this.”The pair exchanged contact info before the sun went down.“He walked her to her car, so I don't know what’s happening," Estill said after the couple had departed.Estill says she doesn't see her playing cupid as a long-term career path, but for now, she is enjoying it and looking forward to booking more "stranger shoots" in the near future.She said, “You just never know how people are going to react. So I'm glad it went well, and I hope I get to photograph their wedding someday.”Estill is working on putting together a questionnaire to better match people up in future shoots.You can visit her Facebook, Instagram, or website for further information or inquire about being part of an upcoming shoot.This story was first reported by Michael Martin at WXMI in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 3038
