ReplyDeleteRemee Lee was very excited when she became pregnant, although her boyfriend, John Andrew Welden, wasn't. Lee has said she was madly in love with Welden when she suspected she was pregnant. They went together for a sonogram. The test showed she was six weeks pregnant. Lee planned to have the baby., despite what her boyfriend wanted. Days later, Welden told Lee that her blood tests had shown that she had an infection and needed to take amoxicillin, but instead of the antibiotic, Welden brought her Cytotec, a drug that causes contractions. Welden told her to take three pills a day. After taking only one pill, Lee was rushed to the hospital with abdominal pain and bleeding, where she lost the baby. When doctors inspected the pills, it was discovered that they were not antibiotics, but abortion pills. This week, Welden, 28, pleaded guilty to killing their unborn baby. Lee's former boyfriend accepted a plea deal that could send him to prison for at least 13 years. Welden is scheduled to be sentenced December 5.

Most states make people show there visual ability test to get a gun permit, Nebraska is one of those states.

A 19-year-old man was sentenced to 30 years in prison Thursday for the beating death of a 62-year-old Chicago man that was recorded on a cell phone and uploaded to Facebook. Anthony Malcolm was convicted of first-degree murder and robbery for his role in the attack that killed 62-year-old Delfino Mora. According to prosecutors, Malcolm and two other co-defendants last July decided to play a game they called “Pick ‘em out, knock ‘em out.” The three targeted Mora who was in an alley in the West Rogers Park neighborhood collecting cans to sell for cash. One of the teens, Malik Jones, punched Mora and knocked him unconscious then stole his money. The father of 12 and grandfather of 23 died the following day. Malcolm recorded the attack on a cellphone and uploaded the video to Facebook. Judge Joseph Claps said Malcolm is an accessory not only for videotaping the attack but also because he never reported the attack to authorities.
