wants his helmet and spear back but the Justice

against January 6 rioters, in a case called Fischer v US. Chansley pleaded guilty — without a trial — to the felony obstruction charge and was sentenced to 41 months in prison in 2021. He has finished serving his prison time but has two years left of court-supervised release. Meanwhile, he has sought to get his seized property back. “The government should and must retain actual evidence of a crime where, as here, the defendant pled guilty to a crime that he may contest given the decision in Fischer,” prosecutors wrote on Friday to the judge overseeing Chansley’s case. “The government would like to ensure finality in the appellate process in this and other cases,” prosecutors added. “The government’s request to continue to hold the property as evidence until such finality in the criminal prosecution is assured is thus appropriate.” The Justice Department also said it may consider keeping Chansley’s spear and helmet as part of a civil forfeiture.

Police seek help identifying

uspects and said the attack happened on a Red Line train between Downtown Crossing and Quincy Center stations on June 5 around 1 a.m. “It’s just bad. And karma is real - God don’t like ugly,” Nene, a Quincy mother, told Boston 25. Nene has a 4 year old little girl and she’s upset about an alleged attack on the T. “That’s sad because that could be their father and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t want that to be done to their dad,” said Nene. She’s not alone. Other T-riders shared her concern. “It’s horrible. Obviously, no one ever deserves that,” said Tariq Sobhi of Quincy. T police say if you see these two let them know. “I hope whoever sees them comes and tells the police because we need to get them,” he said.

Billions of gallons of water from Lake

On July 3, 288.8 million gallons of water evaporated off Lake Shasta. And during the first nine days of July, 3,392 cubic-feet per second of water — or about 2.2 billion gallons — turned into vapor and floated away into the atmosphere. That is a substantial amount of water, said Don Bader, area manager for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which manages Shasta Dam. For comparison, he said that is more than the amount of water flowing down Clear Creek south of Redding. "That is significant enough that it affects where our projected reservoir levels will be at the end of the season," he said. Higher evaporation levels are expected during the summer, he said. This year, though, with temperatures breaking all-time-high records, the evaporation has risen some, he said. "It's probably been higher the last nine days because we haven't seen weather like that in a long time," Bader said. The high temperature the National Weather Service recorded at the Redding Reg

prison sentences for killing

Brian Steven Smith received 99-year sentences each for the deaths of Kathleen Henry, 30, and Veronica Abouchuk, who was 52 when her family reported her missing in February 2019, seven months after they last saw her. “Both were treated about as horribly as a person can be treated,” Alaska Superior Court Judge Kevin Saxby said when imposing the sentence. “It’s the stuff of nightmares,” Saxby said. The remaining 28 years were for other charges, like sexual assault and tampering with evidence. Alaska does not have the death penalty. Smith, a native of South Africa who became a naturalized U.S. citizen shortly before torturing and killing Henry at an Anchorage hotel in September 2019, showed no emotion during sentencing.
