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.”

The machines are giant ventilators about 7 feet long. Patients lie inside with just their heads resting outside; a seal around the patient's neck creates a vacuum. Bellows at the base of the device do the work of a human diaphragm — they create negative pressure so the user's lungs fill with air, and positive pressure allowing the person to exhale.

Sixty-eight years later, an iron lung is still keeping Lillard alive — she sleeps in it every night. While many people who had polio or post-polio syndrome either weaned themselves off the machines or switched to another form of ventilator, Lillard never did.

"I've tried all the forms of ventilation, and the iron lung is the most efficient and the best and the most comfortable way," she told Radio Diaries.

The antiquated machines are now more likely to be found in a museum than in someone's home. In the 1990s, when her iron lung was breaking down, she called hospitals and museums that might have had old ones in storage. But they'd either thrown them away or didn't want to part with their collection. She eventually bought one from a man in Utah — the machine she still uses today.

All Time Low: US rock band deny allegations of sexual misconduct

‘We have to state with outright certainty that what is being said about us is completely and utterly false,’ band members say

This band has been one of my favorites since the mid-2000s, more than 15 years, and years prior to when this alleged incident began. I've seen them live, followed them on social media, and followed their careers for a long, long time. I've never seen anything remotely "off" or concerning.
HOWEVER, I know that my experience with the band is not necessarily everyone's. I never hung out with them backstage or on a tour bus or anything of the like. My initial instinct is to outright deny this could be possible, but I do believe all victims (potential victims) should be heard. I'd be very gutted if this turns out to be true.

 



“Call it a joke if you want, but if you threaten to shoot up your school, then you’re going to face the consequences,” Sheriff Mike Chitwood said following the arrest. “I’m imploring all parents to get this point across to their kids. Otherwise law enforcement will be teaching the lesson instead.”

and on the flip side, i can't understand the people that were "shocked" when it came out about Marilyn Manson that he actually was a creep. How could one not expect him to be a creep by listening to the lyrics in his songs??? While I do like his music, I sure wouldn't want to be near him because I figured he was a creep!
