Farr’s head bounced up and down slightly as she rested a cheek on her fist at the hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence for the case to go to trial.Clarence Corbin, a brother of the victim, Arthur Corbin, fought back sobs while attempting to answer Assistant District Attorney Mark Ornellas’ questions about what happened the afternoon of June 3.“I was asleep. I woke up,” Clarence Corbin said softly, recalling that Farr and his brother had gotten into an argument just before the incident.He claimed he’d previously seen Farr threaten his brother with a pair of scissors, although the defense claimed in that incident Arthur Corbin had attacked Farr first.Related ArticlesCalifornia News ...

Readers confounded by chaos at roundabouts, school drop-off: Roadshow

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:01:06 GMT

Q: I agree the roundabouts are brilliant — as long as people use them correctly. Here is a puzzler for you:In the Burbank area of San Jose, I encounter a roundabout at Leland and Basile. From northbound Leland, I enter to make a left turn onto westbound Basile. I think that cars going straight from southbound Leland should yield to me when I am already in the roundabout. Consistently, they do not. They treat my action as a standard left turn, where I need to yield to them.Is there an exception to the general roundabout yield rule?Jill McCoy, San JoseA: Cars in the roundabout have the right-of-way.Q: I live within a block of a school and have the following thoughts to share:1. Some parents will not allow their kids to walk five feet to school, let alone one block.2. A one-block-away, kid-drop-off point creates chaos in a nearby residential neighborhood. There is usually only one “ideal” remote drop-off point and mass chaos occurs there.3. The afternoon pickup is worse. Pa...
