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

Boy I don't know how I feel about this. He may have been 13 but he provided the knife). This seems very, very light when a young woman is dead. He is lucky as it is it is a juvenile facility, but the length of time seems like they are more concerned with his future, than the loss of her future... ??

 
I am speechless as I am guessing others may be after reading this short crazy explanation of this perp. They walk this earth right? :panic:

 
Wow. I hope he enjoys the loss of his freedom, it certainly sounds like he entirely deserves it.

 
This does NOT sound good. Currently active case, searching going on. Why have there been so many autistic child cases lately? I swear this is about the 5th one in the past couple of weeks. It also reminds me of the two children who just were found drowned. An item of this child's clothing and his phone were found in the river or so it sounds like.

 
Officials with the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office said 24-year-old Stephan Cannon was charged with first-degree murder for the death of Dorn. The shooting happened at Lee's Pawn and Jewelry on June 2 after a night of looting and violent rioting in St. Louis City.
 

Smh. I do hope they make sure this is what it appears to be. It sounds as if they are. Regardless, how tragic.
 
Wow. I think I should refrain from voicing the comments that come to my mind on reading this...
