Le prince al-Mughîra (950-976), dernier né du calife al-Nâsir (913-961), est connu par l’extraordinaire pyxide d’ivoire à son nom, conservée au musée du Louvre, et pour avoir été sommairement exécuté le jour même de la mort de son frère al-Hakam II (961-976) et de l’avènement de son neveu Hishâm II. Cet article fait le lien entre ces deux faits établis, en montrant qu’al-Mughîra était le véritable héritier désigné de son frère al-Hakam, avant d’être remplacé dans ce rôle par le fils encore mineur d’al-Hakam, contre les traditions de la dynastie et contre la loi de l’islam qui écartent l’idée d’un calife mineur. À la mort d’al-Hakam, un fort parti tente de rendre ses droits au prince Mughîra, d’où son exécution sommaire (puis celle de ses partisans) par les soins d’Ibn Abî ‘Âmir, le futur al-Mansûr, régent du califat (978-1002). Le souvenir de cet assassinat – et de ce coup d’État — jouera un rôle dans la révolte contre le fils d’al-Mansûr en 1009, et finalement dans le naufrage du califat. Inversement, la grandeur d’al-Mansûr, révérée par les historiens arabes comme les orientalistes, a contribué à avaliser le meurtre et à faire sombrer la mémoire d’al-Mughîra.

The \"wedding tree,\" a Virginia Live Oak, is more than 600 years old. \"I just imagine that the tree has seen a lot of weddings,\" said Nancy Meehan, the event reservationist at the park. \"It's a beautiful, magical place, if you ask me, with its majestic oak trees and Spanish moss,\" said Meehan. \"Most girls when they see it, it's their dream venue.\" \"There are gorgeous sunsets right on the water,\" said Mary Esclavon, the managing director. \"You just can't beat the view.\"

\"They took forever to get in because they were on a huge back order,\" [Dan Blazi] explained. \"But they are now welcome additions.\" \"This swing lets me or my daughter swing in tandem while facing Levi,\" Esclavon D'[Aguiar] said. \"It's a real bonding experience and helps him feel safe.\" \"That way,\" Blazi said, \"we as a council are not acting outside of the realm of what our citizens want for our community. If we are willing to spend $25 to $35 per year (depending on property value) then we can have these park renovations. The nice part about referendums like this is the fact that by law the tax money can only be used for the stated purpose, so everyone knows where their money is going.\"

[Michael Sweigert] said he and Jefferies met during thelate 1990s while both were in juvenile hall. When Sweigert was released in 2003, he moved to the first floor of a duplex on Saklin Road, where Jefferies stayed with his family on the second floor. Sweigert said when a sheriff's deputy later questioned him, he reluctantly told the investigator he saw \"Reg\" run from the van. But when presented with a photo lineup, Sweigert admitted, he refused to identify Jefferies \"because I didn't want nothing to do with it.\" When [Jefferies] learned that Sweigert was at Santa Rita, Sweigert testified, Jefferies told the other inmates that Sweigert had identified him to police.

[Steve Dalporto] told jurors it was Jefferies who shot and killed [Louis Esclavon] -- a former percussionist who had at times been reduced to living on Hayward streets -- as Esclavon sat inside a van on Saklan Road in an unincorporated community near Hayward on Jan. 31, 2003. The motive, Dalporto said, was money that Esclavon apparently owed Jefferies' dying brother, Gerald, an alleged drug dealer whom Esclavon had befriended and lived with for a short time at thedying man's Saklan Road apartment. \"We are here today because [Reginald Jefferies] put a slug into Louis Esclavon,\" Dalporto told jurors in the first day of the trial. \"The facts will demonstrate in this case that Reginald Jefferies crept up ... like a snake in the grass. This was an arrogant, despicable act that caught everyone by surprise -- except Reginald Jefferies.\"
