Judge Bernard Saint-Vil said Laura Silsby, the last of the 10 missionaries jailed in Haiti, still faced a lesser charge for allegedly organizing the effort to transport the 33 children to an orphanage they were setting up in the Dominican Republic. Silsby faces up to three years in prison if convicted on the remaining charge, the “organization of irregular trips,” from a 1980 statute restricting travel out of Haiti signed by then-dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier. Silsby declined comment from her jail cell. Shiller Roi, a lawyer for Silsby, declined comment, saying he hadn’t yet received the judge’s written decision. The judge told The Associated Press that the charge of organizing the trip was also pending against Jean Sainvil, a Haitian-born pastor from Atlanta who also helped organize the venture. Sainvil did not immediately respond to message left on his voicemail. The judge, who spoke to AP in a brief phone interview, did not explain the reasons for his decisions. It was the latest development in a case that emerged amid the chaos following the devastating earthquake, which the government said killed an estimated 230,000 people and left hundreds of thousands of people homeless. Border guards detained the Americans on Jan. 29 as they tried to enter the Dominican Republic from Haiti without the required documents for the children. A relative of two members of the group of Baptists said at...

“The gun component is critical here because it would increase Simpson’s prison time if he ultimately is convicted,” says CBS News legal analyst Andrew Cohen. “That’s why he’s already claimed that he had no idea that guns would be used to as he put it get back his stuff.” Bruce Fromong said he had expected to meet with an anonymous buyer on Sept. 13, when Simpson arrived and shouted that the items belonged to him. “O.J. was screaming, ‘This is all my s–. This all belongs to me. You stole this from me. Let’s pack up. Let’s get out of here,”‘ Fromong said. “The hearing so far is not so much a dress rehearsal as it is a recited outline of what the trial is likely to look like from the prosecution’s side of the fence,” said Cohen. “Simpson and his lawyers are sitting, watching, listening and mostly staying silent as the DA puts on a streamlined case to establish probable cause that a crime was committed.” Fromong, who testified he has known Simpson since the early 1990s, said the confrontation lasted no more than five or 밀양출장마사지 six minutes and ended with the group stuffing hundreds of items into pillowcases and leaving the hotel room. At one point, as everything was being packed up, Fromong said he told Simpson: “O.J., those are my Joe Montana lithos. “I said,...

If you’re feeling a bit down as 2016 draws to a close, you’re not alone and, as it turns out, there’s a reason for that. It’s called “cultural trauma,” and according to Jeffrey Alexander, a sociology professor at Yale University, it occurs “when a collectivity experiences an injury to its idealization of who it is.” Basically, every year has a narrative. Some years simply have more memorable and, shall we say, darker narratives than others. So, when 2016 kicked off in January with the death of David Bowie — a music icon countless fans viewed as untouchable — a narrative about unthinkable and unpredictable tragic events occurring was set into motion. “With Prince and David Bowie, I think the real surprise was that they weren’t immortal,” dramaturg Anika Chapin tells CBS News. “There was something about them that was so special and so odd and unusual, that it was like, the fact that they were even capable of dying like human beings was in itself disappointing.” When Bowie’s passing was followed in close succession by more terrible news — the terrorist attack in Brussels, the spread of the Zika virus, the water crisis that turned Flint, Michigan into a disaster area — 2016 evolved into a year many people wished they could simply rewind. “There were a lot of bad things that happened over the course of this year,”...
