Previously Deported Illegal May Face Criminal Charges in 3 Deaths: An illegal immigrant who was previously deported in 2008 may face charges of criminally negligent homicide for striking a Texas firefighter head-on in his vehicle, killing him and his two young children. Lana Shadwick of Breitbart reports that Margarito Quintero did not have a driver's license when he slammed head-on into the vehicle of 36-year-old North Texas volunteer firefighter Captain Peter Hacking, who was driving his four-year-old stepdaughter and 22-month-old son. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say they had no contact with Quintero until Tuesday's accident. He will face felony charges in the deaths of Hacking and his children if he recovers from his critical injuries.
MO High Court Upholds Man's Death Sentence: The Missouri Supreme Court upheld the death sentence Tuesday of a man who killed two women a decade ago after sexually torturing them on videotape. Jim Suhr of the AP reports that the high court unanimously rejected 51-year-old Richard Davis' claim that he received ineffective counsel during his murder trial, specifically that his defense team failed to assert his mental incompetency. In 2006, Davis and his then-girlfriend Dena Riley, violently sexually assaulted two women on videotape and then killed them to fulfill Davis' violent sexual fantasies. Prior to the murders, Davis had spent nearly 18 years in prison for a 1987 rape. Riley is serving multiple life sentences for her role in the crimes.
Supervised Heroin Use Proposed by CA Lawmaker: A California Assemblywoman introduced legislation Tuesday that would result in the nation's first legal drug-injection site, allowing people to use heroin, crack, opioids and other drugs at supervised facilities. The AP and Dave Marquis of KXTV report that Susan Talamantes Eggman, a Democrat, proposed the legislation in response to the growing number of overdoses in the state and across the country, which would legalize the use of controlled substances in clinics that could offer medical intervention. Last week, there were 40 overdoses, eight resulting in death, in Sacramento alone. A committee vote on the bill has been postponed.
