Del Norte County D.A. says he “could not disagree more” with judge’s rape charge decision
Don’t tell me there’s no double standard.
CRESCENT CITY, Calif. – A man was sentenced on Wednesday, May 17 to the low term of three years, with all but 240 days suspended in favor of a grant of probation for rape of an intoxicated person, according to the Del Norte District Attorney’s Office. This sentencing is a decision that Del Norte District Attorney, Dale P. Trigg said he “could not disagree more with.”
The DA said the man, 20-year-old Nolan Bruder, pleaded guilty earlier this month to the charge that he gave his 16-year-old sister high potency marijuana also known as “dabs” to smoke after she repeatedly resisted his sexual advances, until she reached the point of no longer recognizing him as her brother.
According to Trigg, Judge Follett said he believed….

Malnourished baby dies after health-conscious parents fed him strict diet
It is so important to NOT self diagnose yourself our your baby. I feel so sad for the parents.
7-month-old baby died after his parents fed him only gluten-free and lactose-free foods, including quinoa milk, the New York Post reported.
The child’s Belgian parents self-diagnosed him with an array of food allergies, but never sought a medical professional’s opinion before deciding on his diet, according to the newspaper.
“The parents determined their own diagnosis that their child was gluten intolerant and had a lactose allergy,” lawyers said in court during the trial for the child’s 2014 death, the Independent reported. “Not a single doctor had a dossier about Lucas and child protection services did not know about them.”
At the time of his death, baby Lucas weighed….

Newborn Girl Found With About 100 Rodent Bites Undergoes Facial Reconstruction Surgery; Arkansas Parents Arrested
Warning: Story contains disturbing content
Two Arkansas parents were arrested after their newborn baby was bitten by rodents around 100 times and had to undergo facial reconstruction surgery Monday, police said.
Charles Elliott, 18, and Erica Shyrock, 19, each face a charge of endangering the welfare of a minor after the child was rushed to the hospital Sunday, according to television station KARK in Little Rock.
The station reports that an emergency room nurse told investigators that the 15-day-old baby girl suffered bite wounds on her arms, fingers, hands and face. Police told the station that the baby had a one-inch wound on her forehead so deep that her skull was visible.
Police spoke with Elliott’s mother, the child’s grandmother, who said he told her a mouse bit the baby and that he was worried about losing custody. Elliott’s mother allegedly told him he should take the girl to a hospital anyway.
Investigators then spoke with Shyrock, who said she woke up to the baby screaming on Sunday morning and found her covered in blood, according to KARK. Elliott gave a similar statement, adding that when he went to clean up the blood, he saw rat footprints in the crib, authorities said.
Shyrock told investigators that she knew rats were in their home, but that she and Elliott hadn’t done anything to solve the problem, according to police.
When authorities searched the home, they found a bassinet with bloody rat footprints and a baby’s hat and blanket soaked in blood, the station reported.
A doctor at Arkansas Children’s Hospital said the baby girl suffered severe skin deconstruction “from rat feeding,” and that it would have taken hours for the injuries to occur, according to local television station KSLA. The doctor concluded that the parents were either incapacitated or not present when the rodent or rodents continuously bit the girl.
Elliott and Shyrock are being held in the Columbia County jail in Arkansas.
3 Mississippi Teenagers Arrested for Allegedly Killing 6-Year-Old Boy After Stealing Car He Was Left In
Three Mississippi teenagers are accused of killing a 6-year-old boy after stealing the car he was left in.
The child, Kingston Frazier, was left alone in a Toyota Camry in a Kroger parking lot around 1:15 a.m. Thursday, authorities said.
The three suspects pulled into the parking lot in a separate car, the Hind’s County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. One of them allegedly got into the Camry before both vehicles pulled away. It’s not clear whether the driver of the Camry knew the child was in the car.
When Kingston’s mother came out of the store, she alerted a nearby sheriff’s deputy that her vehicle was missing. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation issued an Amber Alert when it became clear that a child had been inside the stolen vehicle.
Kingston was found dead later Thursday morning in rural Madison County when a passerby noticed the car abandoned on the side of the road and recognized it from the Amber Alert. The boy was shot in the back of the head, Madison County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Heath Hall said.
Dwan Wakefield, D’Allen Washington and Byron McBride — all in their late teens — are being held without bond in the Madison County Detention Center, Hall said.
All three will be charged as adults with capital murder for the killing of a child during a kidnapping, District Attorney Michael Guest said in a press conference Thursday. They’re also facing auto theft charges in Hinds County, according to the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office.
Multiple state and local agencies collaborated on the investigation, including the Jackson Police Department, the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, the Mississippi Highway Patrol and the MBI. The FBI is also investigating, Hall said.

School Tells 16-Year-Old to Change Her Natural-Style Hair
WOW Now you know if these young ladies were white. they wouldn’t been a discussion.
Natural hair, for more and more celebrities, beauty gurus, and other high-profile women of color — including newly crowned Miss USA Kara McCullough — has become a gorgeous badge of honor. But schools across the country, it seems, have remained behind the curve.
So-called grooming policies have banned braids, weaves, dreadlocks, and other styles that target black students — most recently in Massachusetts, where two sisters faced detention for their braids. Now comes another controversy, out of Florida, where 16-year-old high school junior Nicole Orr was recently given detention for her hairstyle, and then told to change it.

Woman Spends 3 Weeks In Intensive Care After Eating Gas Station Nacho Cheese
I am starting NOT to want to eat out!
A woman in Walnut Grove, California, has spent the last three weeks in intensive care after eating nacho cheese from a gas station.
Lavinia Kelly was driving home from work on April 21 when she stopped at Valley Oak Food and Fuel gas station for a snack.
After purchasing a bag of Doritos, she drizzled them with nacho cheese sauce that was available for customers.
The next day, the mother-of-three went to a local hospital to be treated for double vision, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Man headed to jail for murder over Hot Pockets
Hot Pockets can get people heated.
An Atlanta man was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday for a fatal shooting following a fight over the snack, according to news station WAGA.
Prosecutors said Nathaniel Mathis had asked his sister and her boyfriend, Rodney Benton, 34, to get pepperoni Hot Pockets last July using his card.
When the couple got to the store, the Hot Pockets were sold out so his sister called Mathis to let him know.
They tried to buy other food, but Mathis’ card was rejected. She called him back and an argument reportedly ensued.
The couple ended up going home empty-handed, where they were met by a furious Mathis.
“The defendant was home and still upset when he approached the SUV,” the Fulton County District Attorney’s office said.
Prosecutors said that Mathis went up to the passenger side and yelled “you know what’s going on” and shot Benton eight times.
He then fled for a nearby park where he approached a woman with a message for his sister, news station WXIA reported.
The woman told police he said, “I just snapped. I love her and didn’t mean for it to happen this way.”
Authorities were able to track down Mathis in the woods, where he was shirtless and pointing a gun to his head. After two hours of negotiations, police shot him with a beanbag gun and took him into custody.
Mathis was found guilty of murder, possession of a firearm by a first offender probationer and criminal damage to property. He was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison plus ten years.

Lawyers want man using big-penis defense to show jury his erection
Lawyers in the murder trial of a Florida man who wants to show his penis to the jury went back and forth this week on whether he would need to be erect.
The trial for Richard Patterson, 65, of Margate began on Tuesday, but the judge has not ruled whether his genitals will be presented in the court room.
Patterson’s lawyers want to use his penis as evidence to argue that his girlfriend Francisca Marquinez, 60, choked to death while performing oral sex on him in 2015.
The prosecution reportedly doesn’t object, but argued at the trial that his penis must be erect, according to news station WPLG.
“Do we do it in the back? Do we do it in open court?” assistant state attorney Peter Sapak asked. “How is the defendant going to be erect when the jury views it? Because a flaccid penis, whether it be a picture or the jury actually seeing it, is completely irrelevant. It needs to be erect.”
Defense attorney Ken Padowitz slammed the prosecution’s argument, saying the court should hear from a medical expert about the logistics. Padowitz wants to call former Broward County medical examiner Ronald Wright as a witness to testify that Marquinez’s death “is consistent with being accidentally sexually asphyxiated during oral sex.”
“He’s telling the court, as if he’s a medical expert in his argument, that it matters whether the penis is erect or not,” Padowitz said. “But he’s merely speculating here since he’s never asked that question to Dr. Wright in definition, and he doesn’t, obviously, know, actually, what the expert opinion is what is needed or not needed in order for a human being to choke.”
Patterson faces second-degree murder charges and if convicted, could be sentenced to life in prison.
