In addition to the above story, there (probably) will be no trial, there is a plea deal in the works for Ruben Ebron.

A plea deal was discussed Monday afternoon as JSO were searching for the remains of Lonzie Barton.

The Judge delayed signing the plea until -- confirmation that the remains found are indeed those of toddler Lonzie Barton, and details on the child's manner of death.

Ruben Ebron is to plead guilty to aggravated manslaughter, with an expected sentence of 15 to 20 years.

The next scheduled hearing is January 19.

(The mother Lonna Barton was also charged with child neglect and providing false information to police. She pleaded guilty last week and agreed to testify against Ebron.)

Danish teen fought off her attacker - now she'll face fine
Published: 26 Jan 2016 15:34 GMT+01:00

A 17-year-old girl who was physically and sexually attacked in Sønderborg will herself face charges for using pepper spray to fend off her assailant.

The teenager told police that she was attacked in central Sønderborg on Wednesday at around 10pm by a dark-skinned English-speaking man. She said the man knocked her to the ground and then unbuttoned her pants and attempted to undress her.

The girl was able to save herself from further assault by using pepper spray on the attacker, but now she may be the one who ends up in legal trouble.

“It is illegal to possess and use pepper spray, so she will likely be charged for that,” local police spokesman Knud Kirsten told TV Syd.

The case has sparked a backlash among some Danes who point to increasing reports of sexual harassment in Sønderborg and other Danish cities at the same time that police say they are stretched too thin to properly carry out their duties.

Numerous readers wrote in the comments section on TV Syd’s story about the incident that they would be willing to pay the girl’s fine, which will most likely be 500 kroner.

The man who attacked the 17-year-old fled from the scene and has not been charged.

Sexual assaults have been in the news in Sønderborg recently after several women in the town reported earlier this month that they sometimes feel harassed by the aggressive behaviour of some male asylum seekers and refugees at the local asylum centre.

It is not known, however, if the assailant in this latest incident was an asylum seeker or refugee.

This story is frustrating to read. What a crazy law to not be able to defend yourself with pepper spray.

I read a few more articles on the page that were also disturbing. Not a place I would like to visit.

I've often wondered about this case. Sounds "cut & dry" with the POS wanting to plead GUILTY! nope

Oklahoma Man Says He Wants to Plead Guilty in Beheading
By Tim Talley, AP | ABC News | February 11, 2016

A man charged with beheading a co-worker with a butcher knife at an Oklahoma food processing plant told a judge Thursday he wants to plead guilty to a first-degree murder charge, but the judge refused.

Instead, District Judge Lori Walkley entered a not guilty plea for Alton Nolen, 31, who is charged with murder and assault and battery with a deadly weapon in connection with the September 2014 attack at the Vaughan Foods plant in Moore.

At Nolen's formal arraignment, he said he wanted to plead guilty in the case, District Attorney Greg Mashburn said.
[...]
Defense attorney Mitch Solomon questioned whether Nolen is mentally competent to enter a guilty plea, Mashburn said. Walkey said she wanted to give Nolen and his attorney more time to consider their next step, so she and entered a not guilty plea on Nolen's behalf.
[...]
In October, a judge found Nolen mentally competent to stand trial, rejecting defense attorneys' claims that Nolen was intellectually impaired. And he was ordered to stand trial last month following a preliminary hearing where three employees at the food processing plant provided graphic testimony about the attack, including how Nolen apparently grabbed Hufford, placed a hand on her forehead and sliced her neck with a butcher knife.

6 Killed, 2 Injured in Shootings in Kalamazoo, Michigan
By David Chiu | ABC News | February 21, 2016, 9:24AM


JASON DALTON, 45

Police in southwestern Michigan arrested a man suspected of opening fire randomly throughout the area, killing at least six people and injuring two others.

Kalamazoo police arrested Jason Dalton early Sunday in connection with the shootings, Kalamazoo County prosecuting attorney Jeff Getting said at a news conference Sunday. Dalton has not yet been charged but was expected to face murder charges, said Getting.

While police previously reported seven people had been killed, Getting said only six had died and two others were severely injured.

"They thought she was deceased -- she wasn't," he said. "Call it miracle, call it what you want, but she's alive now."

Police said Dalton, 45, opened fire in at least three different places late Saturday, including outside some town homes, a car dealership, and a restaurant. Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas said Dalton had brief conversations with his victims before shooting them at point blank range.

AS TO MOLLY'S POST:

I wish myself or another trained handler of a handgun had just happened to be close to this guy when he opened fire on others. This is the type of thing that just enrages me. He deserved to be gutshot and left to bleed out.

How Else Was ‘He Gonna Get His Money?’: Relatives Outraged After Homeowner Shoots, Kills Burglary Suspect
By Carly Hoilman | The Blaze | March 16, 2016

A Miami woman shot and killed a teenage home intruder last week, authorities said. Now, relatives of the teen are saying she acted unjustly and should be prosecuted.

Trevon Johnson, 17, burglarized the home of a 54-year-old old woman last Thursday, according to Miami-Dade police.

The woman told police that she was not home when the break-in occurred, but her surveillance system alerted her that there was an intruder. She said she rushed home and found the teen climbing out of a window.

“She observed a subject leaving the home through the rear,” police Detective Dan Ferrin told WFOR-TV.

A confrontation then took place, according to police, and shots were fired. Police said they were on scene seconds after the shooting and performed CPR on the teen. Johnson was then rushed to the hospital where doctors pronounced him dead.
[...]
“I don’t care if she have her gun license or any of that. That is way beyond the law … way beyond,” Johnson’s cousin Nautika Harris told WFOR. “He was not supposed to die like this. He had a future ahead of him. Trevon had goals … he was a funny guy, very big on education, loved learning.”

“You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood,” Harris continued. “You have to understand … how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point of view.”

Hood culture?

“You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood,” Harris continued. “You have to understand … how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point of view.”

Relatives told WFOR they don’t believe Johnson stole anything from the woman’s home, but detectives would not confirm that.

He was probably there looking for an astronaut suit, maybe he even left a mint on her pillow, poor baby .

This is how we roll in my the little town. I love the "perp walk" from the jail to courthouse hearings. And the two protesters. Small world, I went to high school (same grade) as Judge Walther and DA Palmer.

I followed this trial and hope Riordan doesn't get a new trial.

Rumpole,
The video you posted at CTH this morning is a hood rat from my area. Baton Rouge is our state capital, about an hour from me. I started to post it here a couple days back, but didn't know if anyone was interested. My best friend is part of LE there. She works the night shift patrol and that is her beat. As soon as I saw the video I called her. Of course, she is always telling us the things she deals with there and this is just typical. There was a suicide by cop on her patrol in February. It was by grace she was on another call when that one came through. Two officers were shot, but recovered. We are ready for my friend to get out, but it is in her DNA to do this dangerous job. There is video of the suicide by cop . I am going to see if I can find and post.

Thx, Showpoodles... I had forgotten what vid at CTH... but I see now and will post it here as well.

I posted it at CTH because it involved Trump.. but of course it is also relevant to crimes and the growing Thug culture.

If you have more info, or links to articles, or vids etc.. please post here. If there is need I may create a thread topic that covers this stuff.

20 Most Outrageous Courtroom Moments

Michael Madison is a serial killer from Cleveland, OH. On May 20, he was found guilty of three counts of murder (2012-2013) and the jury recommended death. But it was up to the Judge to decide the sentence.

The murders were brutal, he dismembered all the bodies and put them in trash-bags. The youngest victim was an 18-year old, last seen leaving her summer job at an elementary school. This happened when her father got up to give his impact statement on the day of sentencing last week.

The Judge gave Madison the death penalty on all three counts. But here is the problem with this serial killer's sentence being carried out.
