GENEVA, Switzerland – The World Health Organization has declared the ongoing coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. "WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction," said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO. “We have therefore made the assessment that #COVID19 can be characterized as a pandemic”By definition, a pandemic is an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the population.Ghebreyesus says the number of COVID-19 cases outside of China has increased 13-fold and the number of affected countries has tripled. “There are now more than 118,000 cases in 114 countries and 4,291 people have lost their lives,” said Ghebreyesus. In the days and weeks ahead, experts expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths and the number of affected countries to climb even higher. "Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly,” said Ghebreyesu. “It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death"Ghebreyesu says describing the outbreak as a pandemic doesn’t change WHO’s assessment of the threat the virus poses or what the organization is doing to combat it.According to Ghebreyesu, some of the hardest hit countries are seeing some progress in the fight against the virus."Of the 118,000 COVID-19 cases reported globally in 114 countries, more than 90 percent of cases are in just four countries, and two of those China and South Korea, have significantly declining epidemics," said Ghebreyesu.

FALMOUTH, Kentucky — How you do find evidence of a 40-year-old murder? In pieces, mostly, according to Towson University associate clinical professor Dana Kollmann: Fragments of bone and enamel, rusted buttons and zippers, the rubber sole of a rotten shoe. Kollmann, a group of her criminal justice students and dozens of other volunteers spent the afternoon waving metal detectors and sifting through the topsoil at Kincaid Lake Park in search of these small tokens of 17-year-old Randy Sellers’s existence. Some were fresh off conversations with his family, where his parents passed around a picture of the smiling, dark-haired teenager and cried.“Not one of these students out here is getting a college credit,” Kollmann said. “They’re getting nothing but experience for this. They’re out here because they want to be here. They want to find Randy Sellers.”Sellers disappeared Aug. 16, 1980, according to police. Officers found him drinking at the Kenton County Fairgrounds that day and gave him a ride most of the way home. He vanished between there and the front door. Jack Isles, who identified himself Monday as a friend of Sellers's and claimed to have also been at the fairgrounds that day, said he often thought back to that night and regretted not driving Sellers home himself."I wish I could have told him to come on home," he said. "Let him go with me. I wish he was here, God-honest truth with you."Fourteen years later, serial murderer Donald Evans would confess to killing Sellers and burying his body at Kincaid Lake State Park — a killing in line with his self-described modus operandi, which involved preying on people at rest areas and parks. He drew a map leading investigators to the burial site.When they arrived and dug, however, they found nothing. The map was a lie or the work of a bad memory.It would take another three decades, Kenton County police Capt. Alan Johnson said Monday, for them to realize they might have misinterpreted Evans's drawing. “The park ranger here reviewed the case not too long ago,” he said. “They determined there was a possibility that the suspect may have held the map upside down.”Monday’s search was based on a new interpretation of the map, which Johnson hopes will finally unearth Sellers’s remains and allow his parents the relief for which they’ve waited most of their lives.“Any lead we get, it’s our obligation to investigate it to the fullest to bring closure to the family,” he said, adding later: “We’ve stayed in close contact (with his parents) through the whole process. They’ve been very appreciative and expressed a great deal of gratitude for the efforts going on.”According to Kollmann, any makeshift grave in Kincaid Lake State Park would have to be shallow. Anyone who dug further than two feet down would hit limestone.The clues, then, must have stayed in the top layer of soil or become tangled in the roots of trees as animals and weather shifted the landscape. That's if they’re really there.She and her students hope they are, she said.“It’s easy to become robotic in the field and to emotionally remove yourself,” she said. “I think you have to have that connection that we’re looking for people. People still missing after all this time.” 3234

Gerardo Serrano lives in rural Kentucky for peace and quiet. However, a story involving his truck and a trip across the U.S.- Mexico border suddenly made his life a bit more complicated. "I love my country, but if we have policies like this, forget it. I can't live in a place like this," Serrano says. It all started when Serrano decided to visit his cousin in Mexico. He got in his truck and drove down to Texas. As he reached the border, he took out his phone to snap a couple photos. "A border patrol agent walks by, and so I got his picture," Serrano recalls. What happened next completely took him by surprise. "He opens the door, unlocks my seat belt, and yanks me out of the truck, like some kind of rag doll," he says. "I said, 'Hey listen, I'm an American. You can't do that. I have rights.’" The border agent asked for his phone, but when he refused to give up his passcode, he was suddenly surrounded by five patrol agents searching his truck. "There's a guy that yells out, ‘We got him,’ and he puts his hand out and there was my magazine with five bullets in it." Serrano didn't realize five bullets had been left in the center console. He didn't think it'd be a problem since he had a license to conceal and carry, but then they sent him to a jail cell on the property. "Four hours go by, and then all of the sudden they say, ‘You can go.’" All Serrano had to do was sign a paper. "So, I put my shoes on, I look at the paper, and about the second sentence or so, it says, 'I'm gonna confiscate your truck.'" The paper said Gerardo was trying to smuggle "munitions of war" across the border. "You can't start a revolution with bullets like that," he says. "You can't start a war with that. But that's what they got me for." Since he knew he was innocent, Serrano expected to get his truck back very soon. When that didn’t happen, he contacted the Institute for Justice for help."The Institute for Justice, or IJ, is a nonprofit law firm that represents individuals whose most basic rights are violated by the government," Dr. Dick Carpenter, director of strategic research, says.What Serrano experienced is a legal and commonly used law enforcement tactic known as civil forfeiture. "Most people are familiar with criminal forfeiture. When somebody commits a crime, they're charged and convicted, and then as a result they have to give up property related to that crime," Dr. Carpenter explains. "But in civil forfeiture, no person is charged with a crime. Instead the property is charged and convicted."Civil forfeiture is used by the government to seize property that may have been involved in a crime, even if the owner was not. That property could be anything from cash, to a boat, a house, or in Serrano's case, his truck.Civil forfeiture has been on the books since the country was founded in the 1700s. Originally it was used to fight piracy, but the federal government expanded the policy during the War on Drugs in the 1980s. Now there's concern it gives law enforcement reason not only to violate the rights of citizens but to police for profit, as well. Stefan Cassella is a former prosecutor. He's used civil forfeiture to help win convictions in court, but he agrees there is some reasoning behind the concern."Are police out there seizing cash from the back of a car, because they think they will ultimately be able to use that to supplement their budget? That's a perfectly legitimate concern," he says. "The response to that is congress enacted that procedure because they wanted to encourage state and federal cooperation. There's just not enough federal agents to go around to police every county in the United States."Casella spent 30 years with the Department of Justice. He believes civil forfeiture is necessary in most cases because even if the owner of the property hasn't committed a crime, that property could help lead law enforcement to someone who has."You need it to be able to go after property when the defendant who committed the crime is a fugitive, is fighting extradition, or cannot be identified," he says. "You still have to prove the crime, and you still have to prove the property was derived from the crime, but without the ability to prosecute the individual, you'd have no other alternative.”Cassella says the government uses civil forfeiture to recover property stolen in foreign countries, to recover assets used to finance terrorism, to recover artwork stolen overseas, and to recover fraud money."I did a case involving a woman who defrauded terminally ill cancer patients by charging them huge sums of money for worthless medical procedures and then fleeing to Mexico where she was a fugitive, leaving behind her property in Oklahoma. If you didn't have civil forfeiture, you could not recover that property and try to get it back to the victims."So what about cases like Serrano's? He wasn't charged or arrested in his run-in with border patrol, but it took nearly two years for him to get his truck back. That's because U.S. Border Patrol is exempt from the 90-day limit for law enforcement to push the civil forfeiture paperwork forward. Serrano says it's not clear why that is."The DEA does 14,000 seizures a year. The FBI does between 4,000 to 5,000 seizures a year. Customs does about 60,000 seizures a year," he says. "So, I don't know what the reasoning was, but for whatever reason, Congress exempted customs cases."After multiple calls and emails to U.S. Border Patrol, we have yet to hear back.Serrano says getting his truck wasn't as special of a moment as he had anticipated, because what's most important to him is that what happened in his case doesn't continue."You're violating people's rights," he says. "This kind of policy doesn't belong here."Serrano is part of a class-action lawsuit. The case is pending in the appellate court and is scheduled to be heard in the fall."I don't want this in my country. I know, I know that it's unconstitutional."*************************************************If you’d like to contact the journalist for this story, email Elizabeth Ruiz at elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 6097

Governor Bill Haslam has granted executive clemency to Cyntoia Brown by commuting her life sentence. The governor's office announced the decision Monday morning. She will be released to parole supervision on August 7, 2019, after serving 15 years in prison.Watch live: Brown's attorneys speak after Governor Haslam grants clemency“This decision comes after careful consideration of what is a tragic and complex case,” Haslam said. “Cyntoia Brown committed, by her own admission, a horrific crime at the age of 16. Yet, imposing a life sentence on a juvenile that would require her to serve at least 51 years before even being eligible for parole consideration is too harsh, especially in light of the extraordinary steps Ms. Brown has taken to rebuild her life. Transformation should be accompanied by hope. So, I am commuting Ms. Brown’s sentence, subject to certain conditions.”As part of her parole, she cannot violate any state or federal laws and will be subject to a release plan approved by the Tennessee Department of Correction and special supervision conditions, including employment, education, counseling, and community engagement requirements. Brown's parole supervision will continue until August 7, 2029, at which point her sentence will expire. In 2006, she was convicted of first-degree murder, felony murder and aggravated robbery in the killing of Antioch realtor Johnny Allen. She was sentenced to life in prison. At the time of the crime, she was 16-years-old.Advocates have said that Brown, now 30, was a victim of sex trafficking and shot the 43-year-old in self-defense. Back in December, Haslam granted clemency to 11 people but Brown was not one of them. This is a developing story. Check back for updates. 1754
