• Cesar Manuel Zavala of Simi Valley accepts plea deal after the attempted murder of his girlfriend (keyt.com) — Simi Valley police say a local man has admitted to attempting to kill his girlfriend and now faces a six-year state prison sentence under a plea deal. Officers first learned of the case at Simi Valley Hospital in November, where the injured woman sought help. The suspect was later arrested at his Simi Valley home and remains in custody pending January sentencing. 
• 5 years after California banned holding college students' transcripts hostage for unpaid debt, some colleges neglect the law (kentucky.com) — A Simi Valley nurse’s legal fight helped enforce California’s ban on colleges withholding transcripts over disputed debts, clearing her path to apply for RN programs near home. Her case is the state’s only formal citation so far against a school violating the law. The broader report shows many colleges still send mixed messages about transcript access despite the statewide protections.
