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.”

Not sure I understand why this was called in as a welfare check... Did a neighbor maybe hear something and the boy was home alone? Regardless, how horrible.

I don't want to say anything for a certainty, but the connect the dots here seem to lead to a likely answer. One minor family member survived. A minor was arrested. Probably a friend of his right... Probably not...

I would say because he is a juvenile they aren't releasing all of the information. It is oddly random.

I did not catch that about the father, just noted that it was a call for a welfare check. They are testing the dog's remains, maybe we will hear more at one point.
