Missouri inmate convicted of killing cop says judges shouldn't get to hand down death sentences

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:25:13 GMT

A man awaiting sentencing for killing a Missouri police officer is challenging the constitutionality of a state law that allows judges to hand down the death sentence.A jury in June convicted 45-year-old Ian McCarthy of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Clinton Police Officer Gary Lee Michael Jr. during a 2017 traffic stop. After days of deliberation, the jury informed the judge that it couldn't decide between the state's only two sentences for first-degree murder: life in prison without parole or death.Missouri and Indiana are the only active death penalty states that allow judges to sentence people to die. Montana also allows judges to hand down death sentences, but it hasn't executed anyone since 2006.McCarthy's attorneys filed a motion last week asking a Jackson County judge to declare the state law unconstitutional and to sentence McCarthy to life in prison. Judge Marco Roldan will consider the motion at the sentencing hearing on Friday.The motion calls Missouri “a c...

Why leaves change colors when summer turns to fall

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:25:13 GMT

The First of September is the official beginning of fall, at least, as far as meteorologists are concerned, and the vegetation at Mammoth Lakes has received the memo.Photos shared by Mammoth Lakes Tourism showed leaves beginning to turn yellow in a preview of what's to come. Convict Lake, one of the popular destinations for Mammoth Lakes visitors, already has some yellow on the tops of trees and a few fallen leaves scattered on the ground. Rabbitbrush, shrubs that dot the landscape, are also starting to shift toward fall colors.Blake Engelhardt, a botanist for the United States Forest Service, said he's optimistic that the lingering snowpack and moist soils from spring rains could translate into vibrant fall colors. When will the fall colors peak in California? During the summer growing season, leaves are actively producing chlorophyll, which gives them their green color, Engelhardt said. When the seasons shift to fall and days get shorter, things begin to change."Longer nights tr...
