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.”

What does that have to do with this thread? Sorry for being slow🤔🙈
 
A nearly 40-year-old case of a missing Massachusetts teen who vanished after a party may have been solved thanks to a recent grim discovery brought on by new sonar technology.


Massachusetts state investigators say portions of a 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger that belonged to 17-year-old Judy Chartier, a girl who went missing from a party in 1982, were found in the Concord River in Billerica on Wednesday.


The following day, authorities say divers who were searching the area also discovered human remains; the remains were positively identified through dental records by authorities as Judy Chartier's.


"Sadly, this discovery comes after nearly 40 heartbreaking years of Judith's friends and family missing her and wondering about what happened that day," said Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said in a news conference.


Ryan says authorities are still processing Judy's car for additional evidence, emphasizing that county and state officials will continue the search for answers in the years-long cold case.


"First to hear just a little bit of news, that we've been able to locate the car, and then to hear ... that we've actually found human remains, is both heartening in that [the family] will now have a sense of what happened to their sister, but also very distressing in terms of all the years they have waited," she said.JudyChartier-6734c472bf383bd76a6d897f455f26b0b0f6e257.jpg

Wow. This is something else. It might be too early for me and not enough coffee to even try to understand the various laws and reasoning here but I see several issues or reasons in either direction I guess to deny or allow... Not sure what I think and sure don't know the laws regarding all of it, that's for sure.

First and foremost, I would expect a conversation with your own attorney/public defender to be 100 percent confidential about always. So was she having a conversation with her counsel or their office? If so, I would expect it to be confidential. Not sticking up for her just saying that's a known right or the understanding most of us have.

Who recorded it? Her? If so, she may have put confidentiality at risk herself...
