For Afghanstan war veteran Matthew McDonell of Wisconsin, Dec. 24, 2012 will be a day that changed his life in many ways."Christmas Eve we lost one of our teammates in a fire fight," 36-year-old Army Specialist McDonell said.That teammate was Sergeant Enrique Mondragon. Following his death on Christmas day, his squadron participated in a final roll call. A traditional military salute to a fallen soldier. It's a moment that will live with McDonell forever."It kind of starts going through your head why not me."Since then, things haven't been completely the same for McDonell. Holiday's became tough to celebrate. 628

Hurricane Dorian -- the strongest storm anywhere on the planet this year -- is leaving "catastrophic damage" in its wake as it makes its way across the Bahamas, where it's claimed at least one life.The monster Category 5 storm made landfall on the eastern end of Grand Bahama Island Sunday night and will continue to pound the island for most of Monday as it creeps toward the southeastern US coast.The death of an 8-year-old boy is being reported by Bahamas news outlets Eyewitness News and Bahamas Press.The boy's grandmother, Ingrid McIntosh, told Eyewitness News that her grandson died on Abaco Island. She said her 31-year-old daughter found the body of her son, who she believed drowned in the rising waters. McIntosh said her granddaughter is also missing."I just saw my grandson about two days ago," she said. "He told me he loved me. He was going back to Abaco, he turned around and said, 'Grandma, I love you.'"CNN has contacted Bahamian authorities, who have not yet confirmed these reports. 1014

Harvey Weinstein, the movie producer facing sexual assault charges, will appear in court Monday to be arraigned on an indictment, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's office.The indictment, which was returned by a grand jury, has not been publicly disclosed. It's not clear whether additional charges will be brought against Weinstein.The last-minute court hearing Monday could also take up Weinstein's request to have the case moved out of New York, as well as the possibility of "Sopranos" actress Annabella Sciorra testifying in the case."An appearance has been scheduled for Monday, August 26 for the defendant to be arraigned on an indictment," the district attorney's office said Thursday, adding "the defendant is expected to be present."Prosecutors have been jockeying for months to get the actress' account into the trial to support charges of predatory sexual assault against Weinstein.The current charges stem from accounts from two women, but Sciorra is not one of them.Sciorra has publicly accused Weinstein of sexually assaulting her inside her Gramercy Park apartment in 1993.Change of venue requestWeinstein's attorneys want his trial moved out of the city, but prosecutors rejected that argument in court documents filed Friday.Attorneys with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office say that Weinstein's request should be denied.Weinstein and his attorneys have "failed to meet his burden of showing that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had in New York County or that media coverage of his case will have any less impact on the residents of Suffolk or Albany counties, who have access to the same news sources and social media as their counterparts in Manhattan," say the documents filed Friday.The prosecution said the request should be viewed as a "transparent attempt" to delay the proceedings of his trial, which is set to begin September 9.The filing comes after Weinstein's attorney said he cannot get a fair criminal trial in New York City and asked to move it elsewhere -- possibly to upstate New York or Long Island. Weinstein, the 67-year-old disgraced movie producer, is accused of raping a woman in a New York hotel room in 2013 and forcibly performing oral sex on another woman at his Manhattan apartment in 2006.He faces five felony charges: two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree and one count each of first-degree rape and third-degree rape. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty.Despite the trial's rapidly approaching start, his attorney Arthur Aidala has asked for a stay in the proceedings as the court considers the change-of-venue motion.He listed Albany or Suffolk County as possible alternatives to New York City for the trial. Albany, the state capital, is roughly 150 miles north of New York City, and Suffolk County is on eastern Long Island.'Ground zero' for #MeToo activismAttorneys with the Manhattan DA's office argue that online media publication allows individuals, regardless of where they are located, to access news coverage. They also say Weinstein's request ignores "the reality that nearly all of the news outlets covering this case have the resources, interest, and ability to travel to Suffolk and Albany Counties" if the trial were to be moved.They also contend that if the trial was moved out of New York City, they would lose "its rich base of jurors from vastly varied backgrounds" that would allow a greater chance of ensuring a pool of impartial jurors, court documents state.Aidala, Weinstein's attorney, had blamed a "deluge of local, national and international news, press coverage and online social media hysteria that has universally demonized defendant and prejudged him as guilty, not just of the crimes charged, but of many, many others."And he said New York City is particularly hostile to Weinstein."Political, cultural and social organizations with headquarters in Manhattan ("MeToo" and "Times Up") were catapulted to prominence as a direct result of Harvey Weinstein's arrest in this case and New York City is ground zero in their activism, with such activities as the so-called women's march, and the rallying cry "believe all women," a position that is antithetical to due process," Aidala wrote.The attorney also said Weinstein's court appearances "have been characterized by a circus-like atmosphere," including appearances by celebrities "to show support for complainants they do not even know."He said an internet search of the New York Post's Page Six, "a mainstay of local New York City news and the name Harvey Weinstein in 2019, yields over 11,000 hits.""This is a mere prelude to what will greet the jurors on every newsstand and on the courthouse steps, as they make their way through the city each day to perform their duties." 4794

From woodwork and sewing to basic assembly of kits, employees at the Mile High Workshop in Colorado are able to gain technical skills so they can transition into another job out in the community. The workshop serves as a stepping-stone for those facing barriers to work.“We do job training for folks who are coming out of prison, recovering from addiction, and rebuilding from homelessness,” Mile High Workshop Executive Director, Andy Magel, said. “And we do that by partnering with other businesses and doing contract work for them.”“In the last 5 years we’ve hired probably a few over 130 folks, and the vast majority of them have had experience with the criminal justice system,” Magel added.One of those is seamstress Antonette Smith."Something about this job makes you not even want to leave at the end of the day,” Smith said. Smith learned that even a misdemeanor conviction can alter someone's life.“Me and a family member got into a situation where the police were called. I was arrested and taken to the hospital. I woke up in the Denver city jail. I ended up pleading guilty to a misdemeanor II.”Smith says she only has a couple months left at the workshop and she’s nervous about what she’ll face when she applies for other jobs.“Where am I gonna be able to go and be accepted like here at Mile High. That’s one of my biggest fears,” Smith said.Attorney Jack Regenbogen with the Colorado Center on Law & Policy says one third of working-age adults have some sort of criminal history.That’s one reason why Ban the Box is gaining momentum across the country.“Ban the box is a national campaign to try to promote employment opportunities for people that have a criminal history,” Jack Regenbogen said.“Ban the Box” refers to the box commonly included on a job application that asks about somebody’s criminal history.“In many cases, this box is an automatic disqualifier. So many job applications are online today, and the second that somebody checks that box indicating a criminal history, it automatically ends their application. ‘Thank you for your time, you’re not qualified,'” Regenbogen said.Regenbogen says 35 states across the U.S. have enacted some sort of fair chance hiring policies. Most require public companies to take the box off the application, but some states have included private companies as well.“Each state that has passed ban the box has different nuances about who it applies to, and also, at what point in the hiring process a record can be considered,” Regenbogen said.Even though more states are taking initiative on Ban the Box, not every company agrees it’s a step forward. Professional Finance Company deals with debt collection. CEO Mike Shoop says the box is very necessary for his business. “It just helps us in our recruiting and hiring process to know upfront if somebody has committed a felony,” Shoop said.As of right now, Colorado state law requires that Professional Finance Company does not hire anyone who’s been convicted of a felony. That's because employees handle a lot of sensitive financial information.“We are a financial institution. We do handle financial transactions, and we do handle people’s personal identifiable information," Shoop said.If the box is taken away, Shoop says the company wouldn’t know somebody’s criminal history until the background check, which he claims would be a waste of time and resources for both parties, considering they wouldn’t legally be allowed to hire the person.Regenbogen says some states have considered that possibility and there are exceptions.“If the law says that they have to consider criminal history and cannot hire someone with a certain type of criminal history, then they can still ask on the application,” Regenbogen said.However, for a majority of businesses, that’s not the case. Regenbogen believes banning the box would improve society overall.“There are studies that show the number one predictor of whether someone is likely to reoffend and recommit a crime is whether they’re able to gain employment.”Those at Mile High Workshop certainly agree, which is why they’re trying to provide that second chance.“Nobody wants to be defined by the worst things they’ve done in their lives. We all have things we’re not proud of, and having the opportunity to grow from that and to learn and to prove that you are a capable person is a really powerful thing,” Magel said.“Everybody has a chance to change, and instead of you looking at my criminal background, get to know me. Get to see the kind of work I can provide. See what I can bring to the company,” Smith said.******************************************************If you'd like to reach out to the journalist for this story, email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 4739

First they dealt with a blizzard, and now, the floodwaters. Many of the Midwest’s farmers and ranchers are dealing with the devastating aftermath of the storms as farmer bankruptcies were already up. About 90 percent of Nebraska’s land is used for agriculture in some capacity, making the damage from floodwaters significant.“The disaster Nebraska has been impacted by for the last week is something we have not seen before in our history,” says Steve Wellman, director of Nebraska Department of Agriculture.Wellman says three-quarters of the state’s counties have declared emergencies. The disaster hits at a time when, according to the American Farm Bureau, Midwest farmer bankruptcies were already up almost 20 percent from the previous year.Some farmers who are facing such serious crop or livestock loss may have to throw in the towel on their livelihoods.“It’s a possibility that some producers will not rebound from this, but that’s [going to] be up to the individuals and what their situation is,” Wellman says.Nebraska resident Alex Stepanek didn’t want to sit idly by and watch that happen. Stepanek posted a collage of photos on Facebook last week, and after seeing it go viral, he decided to start a small fundraiser.“I grew up on a farm near St. Paul, Nebraska. Growing up in a small town, you have that feeling of community of wanting to help each other,” Stepanek says. “And I think all of Nebraska is like that in total, especially in times of crisis. And so, I think this was a great time for Nebraska to come together.”Stepanek has now raised almost a quarter of a million dollars. He says he’s working with the state’s farm bureau to make sure at least a third of that goes straight to farmers. The rest of the money raised will go to the towns and communities affected by the floods, says Stepanek. 1831
