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 what I think of this. It has been some years but I watched the doc where she talked and no one can deny it was some messed up existence with her mom raising her EVEN if one doesn't believe all. She seemed to have her head on pretty straight in the show but I still didn't think she merited release then. If she has continued though to cause no trouble and just better herself, I'm just not sure. I'm generally always tough sh*t murder is always wrong and it IS but somehow I don't think she'd reoffend. She only received ten years anyhow and they let far worse out on far longer sentences. She really should have to serve the ten but it's never the case for anyone else either... She did PLAN this and should have had a longer sentence to begin with but, it doesn't excuse it at ALL and I hate to say it, but her mom was not a victim one could easily sympathize with either. It still doesn't make murder right but what she did to her daughter was not all right either.

What are your thoughts?

I guess I'd say ditto. I don't generally excuse murder and I'm not doing so but this is a very different case. She could kill again though or get someone to do so for her- I'd like to know more about how she is today and sees things. And she was raised abnormally and prison certainly wouldn't be a normal life experience or all positive so the thought she really gets it or has normal coping ability or ANY normal life living experience as to how to deal seems far fetched.

I saw that. I never thought they would charge anyone. He was a very smart man. He just played with fire too much, For too long. He survived being shot 5 times. I always felt it was the B.I.G. Feud.

This is absolutely horrific. I came upon the article. Then I searched further about what he did. This kid killed his stepmother with a sledgehammer to the face. Then posted it on "Snapchat". I watched the video. DON'T! I thought it would be him bragging. He does. But her entire face is caved in. Causing her brain to come forcefully out of the top of her head. I've seen, Heard, And read the worst of the worst. This made me gasp. So just a warning if anyone looked further. This is just the article. People were already saying things against America. And....IT DIDN'T HAPPEN HERE!!!!

Ok. You all know how I've stated how bad drugs are in rural Missouri. Case in point...I have a six degrees of separation with this one and just after reading the headline, where it happened, dude and I were laughing thinking of how it sounded like something a family we know down there, then really thinking that after the first paragraph. Then, there it is, THAT family!

Woman faces 4 felonies after allegedly stealing Windsor fire truck


Now, to to it off, the local news ran it with an interview with the sheriff and he's stating that things have gotten bad with a RECENT drug problem. I knew what this family was up to nearly 40 years ago and it's one of my prime examples of how bad drugs are there. How "recent" is recent? The charges this one extended family has in that very county alone, proves this is far from a recent problem. Just because you chose to not believe that problem didn't happen in your little town, doesn't mean it isn't happening. Just a lot of sticking your head in the sand.

But this story has quite the play by play and we were howling by the end. She's a feisty one!

2 arrested in 2015 slaying of Eric Cates, Walker County man found dead in burned truck with beloved dog

Joshua Franklin Hill, 33, and Cyerena Cheyenne Styles, 28, are charged with murder. Cates’ lungs show he was alive when he was burned.

2 arrested in 2015 slaying of Eric Cates, Walker County man found dead in burned truck with beloved dog​

A man and woman have been indicted in the 2015 Walker County slaying of a 32-year-old man and his beloved dog.

Eric Cates, 32, and dog Gypsy were found dead inside Cates’ burned pickup truck near the old Empire School building.

On Friday, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall announced murder charges against Joshua Franklin Hill, 33, and Cyerena Cheyenne Styles, 28, both of Walker County.

Styles was taken into custody by the Sumiton Police Department and Hill was arrested by U.S. Marshals.

Marshall said the case was presented to a Walker County grand jury on Oct. 5. The AG’s office investigated the case at the request of the Walker County Sheriff’s Office.

Cates’ mother, Tobbie Stover, expressed gratitude to the Alabama Attorney General’s Office and AG Steve Marshall for their work on the case during the past several years.

“They came through for us,” she said. “We are very, very thankful for what Attorney General Steve Marshall and his office has done.”

Stover says she “expects more from the (AG’s office) concerning this case,” and was familiar with the names of the two people charged with her son’s murder.

Stover and her family know the arrests aren’t the end of their road to justice. “It is a form of relief, but we know it’s the start of another chapter.”

I think we had talked about Sergio Brown on this thread. He's being charged with his mother's murder. Sadly, no big surprise.
