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

It could be, don't know your laws there on phones either but here, it is hands off now. Wisconsin you can still be on one holding it for a call last I knew but no texts, etc. Yeah, his history makes it a bit harder to give that benefit of the doubt...

It does sound like a major mess. I think I get a bit more what you mean now with exit ramps affecting entrance ramps.

I avoid that area if possible. Too many detours to get around it all when I can just go a different way and bypass that mess altogether when possible.

I would almost have to think suicide if they do not think it is foul play. She was found outside the car and unless she had no phone/charger with her, one would think she would call for help if just stranded or something.

Right where two major highways meet and construction going on in that entire area - reworking the ramps. MODOT was notorious for putting in left lane exits and now they are fixing that disaster.

Left lane exits?

Left lane exits?

yep and they cause a LOT of wrecks! Not near as many now though!

She had an argument with her husband. #1 guess.

I forgot they had a thread on this one. In there, an article says they do not suspect foul play at this time. They are doing a tox and such though. I don't know. His behavior was sooo bad when she disappeared, he was arrested. I guess it could be suicide but it is an odd case...

Well he did not murder anyone. I wonder what the charge will be, something to do I suppose with tampering or desecration of a corpse. I can already see the defense saying the bodies were (likely) donated for research and he was researching to see what happens to them when leaving them in a desert environment or some such.

Not really any real consequences here if you are over 21 and not operating a commercial vehicle. They can sue the crap out of him, but no real criminal consequence.

They also have a search warrant for his phone. Hopefully this is the reason for the crash, rather than dui. He sure has a history of making bad decisions, though.

Maybe but to me that would probably give a combined reason, use of cell and over the limit which in some ways is worse as those are two poor choices.

WTH? I have to say on reading this. she was likely also going to kill herself, however. why then put the baby in before you reach that depth...? Hard to say. Horrible thing to do either way.

I was just saying that IF he wasn't dui, then there is no real criminal consequence for him IF he was only distracted driving, but they sure can sue the pants off of him, especially if they get to use his prior history of bad decisions. He is most likely looking at jail time IF he was dui with his priors and getting sued.

I get ya. I guess I am going with what is out there, bloodshot eyes, smell of alcohol, his own admission to two to three drinks (most people would claim fewer than they drink), failure of like four signs or tests was in one of the articles, etc.

So I see what you are saying and while it is not gospel yet or proven, I am going by what has been stated thus far and it leads me to believe he will register as DUI.

This is soooo sad. Kudos to the motorist who followed him, I can't even imagine what they witnessed the girl going through and don't want to. What a frickin' evil loser, he had to know and yet continued on.

Hard to say where the fault lies here. Was the 14 year old a part of nothing and just an unrelated person she hit as leaving? Sounds like the driver who struck him was shot at herself and injured... But was part of some altercation... Smh.

Lord Almighty we need Your help on this earth. Unbelievable. How this child did not die, I have no idea. Thank goodness for the bf.

Read her attorney's remarks at the end. Say what?? Is that the best she can do? Stupid. And the woman claims to have not known she was pregnant or what happened at the toilet, well how was the cord severed? Also, she claims not to know she is pregnant but months before applied for SNAP benefits claiming she was pregnant. So she is stupid on top of evil!!

A Youtube PRANK involving butcher knives? Really? Well one of the pranksters is now dead and if this is as it appears, no charges should be brought imo. Assuming all is as it sounds and the person who killed him really felt in imminent fear of death. How does a 20 year old and his friends think this is a PRANK?
