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

Sadly I guess crime is alive and well even with stay at home orders...


Although mentioning they were poll workers struck me odd. Trying to make something out of something or nothing again like media can do? Why is that notable at all? Smh.
 
I am the first one to be in support of LE. This, however, disgusts me. If you can't rise to the position and do the job and deal with the risks, then it is not the job for you. Imo. I am still shaking my head that he could be reinstated.

Absolutely agree! As a parent, I am most digusted & appalled by the former Parkland School resource officer, however, Scot Peterson even more. This person had the sole responsibility to protect those students and failed.
