by Vicki Batts

If you don't believe that the United States government is growing closer and closer to complete and total tyranny, this bit of news will hopefully change your mind.

Experts: Drugs fueling child abuse in WV

by Vicki Smith

MORGANTOWN -- Children are dying from abuse and neglect at a higher rate in West Virginia than any other state, a problem that judges, social workers and others say is fueled by rampant substance abuse.

FRESNO: Hung jury in civil trial of Merced police officer who used Taser on legless man

by Victor A. Patton

Jurors were unable to reach a verdict Friday in a civil lawsuit against the city of Merced and a Merced police officer who used a Taser on a legless man during a confrontation in 2009.

The eight-member jury in federal court here began deliberations about 2:30 p.m., but at 6 p.m. their deliberations were deadlocked - 4 to 4 - and a hung jury was declared. Williams also claimed officers humiliated him by leaving him on the pavement with his pants down and genitals exposed after he'd been shocked with the Taser.
