Native American Family Says Officer Ignored Court Orders And Forced Entry Case Dismissed A Native American family in Utah is speaking out after what they say was a complete breakdown of the system inside their own home. They claim an officer showed up with a woman who legally was not supposed to be near the property due to protective orders and instead of verifying anything he allegedly ignored the paperwork crumpled it and forced his way inside. No warrant. No permission. Just escalation. According to the family they tried to hand over court documents showing the children’s father had full custody along with protective orders against the mother. They say those papers were never properly reviewed before things turned physical. What was supposed to be a civil standby quickly turned into chaos right in front of children who were so scared they reportedly barricaded themselves in a room. Then it gets even more serious. The family says they were the ones charged accused of assaulting an officer. But in the end a judge dismissed the case with prejudice. Now they are asking a question many are raising. How does someone show up with a restricted individual ignore court orders enter a home and the family ends up being charged? They also claim the officer was later fired after multiple complaints and say tribal authorities were involved at one point adding another layer to an already complicated situation but ultimately the charges did not hold up in court. For this family the impact goes beyond the courtroom. They say the trauma still lingers especially for the children who witnessed everything unfold. Via: Angelise Clemente/fb

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has commuted the death sentence of Charles “Sonny” Burton, a 75-year-old death row inmate who was scheduled to be executed this week for a 1991 robbery that ended in a fatal shooting.  Burton was convicted of capital murder after participating in the armed robbery of an AutoZone store in Talladega where a customer, Doug Battle, was shot and killed. However, Burton did not fire the fatal shot and had already left the building when the shooting happened, authorities said.  Under Alabama’s felony murder law, anyone involved in a felony can be held responsible for a death that occurs during the crime—even if they didn’t commit the killing.  The man who actually shot the victim previously had his death sentence reduced to life in prison, which the governor cited when deciding to spare Burton’s life. Ivey said it would be unjust to execute Burton while the person who pulled the trigger was not facing execution.  Burton’s sentence has now been reduced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. 

Authorities in Enterprise, Alabama have charged Adrienne Reid with capital murder and abuse of a corpse in connection with the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Genesis Reid. Police say the investigation began on February 16 when Reid reported her daughter missing from their apartment on Apache Drive. Detectives later determined the report was false and arrested her the next day for false reporting to law enforcement. According to investigators, surveillance footage shows Reid walking toward the apartment complex dumpster with a rolling duffle bag around 11:30 p.m. Authorities believe Genesis had not been seen since Christmas Day. Officials say the child’s remains have not been located, but investigators believe the duffle bag was collected by trash services and transported to the Coffee County Landfill. Authorities have narrowed down a search area and say the recovery operation could take up to 10 weeks. Prosecutors say Reid carried out a 53-day campaign of lies and deception before reporting her daughter missing and are considering seeking the death penalty in the case.
