Former US president Donald Trump who is likely to appear before a New York court on coming Tuesday, will not be handcuffed when he surrenders to face criminal charges, as per his lawyer.&nbsp;

Trump's attorney Joe Tacopina told a media portal Friday that the former president "will not be put in handcuffs."&nbsp;Tacopina said no handcuffs is apparently as per an agreement between his defence attorneys and Manhattan prosecutors. Nevertheless, AI has already predicted how Trump will look like like in handcuffs and it is only a matter of days to see what protocols are to be followed.&nbsp;

However, Tacopina&nbsp;added that when Trump, the 45th president of the United States, appears in court, he is likely to be fingerprinted and subjected to other routine procedures.

Donald Trump will not be handcuffed, to plead not guilty on surrendering: Lawyer

The three White men charged with the murder of&nbsp;Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man, have pleaded not guilty in the&nbsp;Chatham County Superior Court on Friday.

Arbery was shot by&nbsp;a former law enforcement officer, Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis, 34, while he was jogging in the neighbourhood on February 23.&nbsp;

The father-son duo have been charged with&nbsp;murder and aggravated assault.&nbsp;Their neighbor who took the cellphone video, William “Roddie” Bryan Jr., 50, was charged with murder and attempt to illegally detain and confine.

The three of them pleaded not guilty. On the request of the defendants' lawyers, Judge Timothy Walmsley has accepted the not guilty pleas and waived arraignment.

“Keeping him in jail isn’t going to accomplish anything,” Bryan’s attorney, Kevin Gough, told reporters on Thursday.

“Going in and out of jail is difficult because of the virus, and being in jail is tough with the virus,” he added.

Gough has also expressed his intentions of requesting a change of the lead prosecutor. However, it has not been made official, as of now.

Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery's alleged killers plead not guilty

An Illinois man accused of breaking into the Apple iCloud and Gmail accounts of celebrities to obtain their private photos and videos has agreed to plead guilty to a felony computer hacking charge, prosecutors said on Friday. 
 
Edward Majerczyk, 28, facing up to five years in prison, is the second man charged in a federal investigation into the leaks of nude photos of several Hollywood actresses, including Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, in September 2014. 
 
According to a plea agreement signed by Majerczyk, he illegally accessed Apple iCloud&nbsp;and Google Gmail&nbsp;accounts belonging to more than 300 people, using an email &quot;phishing&quot; ploy to obtain their user names and passwords. 
 
Through this scheme, Majerczyk was able to access full iCloud backups belonging to numerous victims, including at least 30 celebrities, many of whom reside in the Los Angeles area, the plea agreement stated. 
 
&quot;Many of these backups contained sensitive and private photographs and videos,&quot; it said. 
 
Under his deal with federal prosecutors, Majerczyk, a Chicago resident, will formally plead guilty in US District Court in Illinois to a felony violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, according to the US Attorney&#39;s Office in Los Angeles. 
 
A 36-year-old Pennsylvania man, Ryan Collins, pleaded guilty in March to the same offence in a case stemming from the same investigation. 
 
Like Collins, federal authorities said they had found no evidence linking Majerczyk to actual public circulation of any of the photos to which he gained access. 
 
While no victims were named in court documents, the investigation began after Lawrence and other celebrities, including actresses Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union and model Kate Upton, complained in interviews about having their private photos end up publicly disseminated online. 
 
It was not the first time celebrity nude photos obtained through computer intrusions led to a criminal prosecution. 
 
A Florida man was sentenced in 2012 to 10 years in prison for hacking into email accounts of Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis and Christina Aguilera to leak private information and explicit photos. Pop star Taylor Swift said her Twitter and Instagram accounts were hacked in January 2015. 
 
More recently, a Bahamian man in New York pleaded guilty in May to charges of hacking into celebrities&#39; email accounts to steal unreleased movies and television scripts. 
 
And a Filipino man was charged last month in New Jersey with running a scheme to hack into the bank and credit card accounts of celebrities.
