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.”

Death! Evil! I'm so sick of their appeals and overturning sentences on technicalities. What about the victim and their families?! The fact that the ME cried on the stand shows how horrific this case is. An 8 yr old !!! AHHHHH!!!!:censored::censored:

I really can't understand why so many LE depts don't insist on body cameras. Do they not realize how much $$ it could save on just one lawsuit not having to be paid out because there was proof that their claim was bogus? Does the public not realize how much $$ is paid out on lawsuits that they did not know even existed because it was paid out before it even went to court?

I know right? You can't be human I guess. Probably looked at it as attempting to sway the jury with emotion. The court and rules are weighted way in favor of the defendant and it has gone ridiculously too far.
