Criminal, Free Under Realignment, Accused Of Killing Infant: The California man accused of murdering his 19-day-old child over the weekend is no stranger to law enforcement, and thanks to Realignment, had been in and out of jail for a variety of crimes throughout 2014. Eric Leonard of FKI Radio reports that 30-year-old Matthew Warner was arrested at least three times last year and sentenced to 'flash incarcerations', a new program under AB-109 that holds parole violators in custody for a few days. Warner is facing charges of murder, assault on a child causing death, sexual assault on a child, and torture. If found guilty, he faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Habitual Rapist Accused In Cold Case Killing: A South Carolina man who authorities say is already serving a life sentence for a series of rape convictions is facing charges for a 15-year-old cold case murder.

When police ran the DNA evidence immediately following the crime they were unable to find a match, but an updated DNA test conducted last year linked Heyward to the killing. Heyward was accused in another murder in 2001, however, prosecutors abandoned the case because he was already serving a life term for his rape convictions.
