Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MIKE TYSON will have to serve an extra 60 days in jail in Maryland for violating terms of his probation for a 1992 rape conviction, according to court documents filed yesterday.
The former heavyweight champion will not, however, have to return to Indiana (where he was convicted of the rape charge) for the additional jail time under an agreement reached with an Indiana prosecutor. Tyson must serve the 60-day sentence for violating probation at the end of the one-year sentence he is serving in Maryland for assault, according to the agreement.
