ONGOING CRIME BREAKING NEWS!

Starting in January 2020, this thread is about the news as it breaks!


Bernard Madoff says he is dying and is asking a judge for compassionate release from prison, where he is serving 150 years for orchestrating the largest Ponzi scheme in history, according to a Wednesday federal court filing.

Madoff, 81, has terminal kidney failure and a life expectancy of less than 18 months. When the court sentenced him, “it was clear that Madoff’s 150-year prison sentence was symbolic for three reasons: retribution, deterrence, and for the victims,” the court filing states. “This Court must now consider whether keeping Madoff incarcerated … is truly in furtherance of statutory sentencing goals and our society’s value and understanding of compassion.”

Madoff said in the request for compassionate release that he “does not dispute the severity of his crimes.”


IMO- stay in jail

Apparently people can't talk politics and it is a good reason to not go there unless people are rational and somewhere such can be discussed with those that are sane. I don't know what the sign said and I don't care. Taking it to begin with was beyond stupid if it was on someone else's property. And look how it ended up. I don't even have an opinion as again, I don't know what the sign said and I don't care. Nothing good comes from such because people are just at war and can't keep a cool head and it certainly does not invite peace nor bring people together. Attitudes and behavior like this sure are not going to solve anything.

I don't generally post things like this but... At least I am not posting an opinion or something that leans one way.

 
Not sure if this case is on here. Did a quick search and did not see it. Updates here on it, terrible child death.
