Morrisville police officers are investigating a traffic fatality that occurred Sunday, Nov. 14. At approximately 1:15 a.m. officers responded to the scene of a crash in the 1300 block of Morrisville Parkway near Duck Pond Circle. A 2015 Honda Civic was traveling west on Morrisville Parkway when the driver (a 17-year-old female) lost control and the vehicle subsequently crossed the median. The car then rolled multiple times before coming to rest.

 

All five people in the vehicle were ages 17 or 18. Two people were ejected from the vehicle, one of which was 18-year-old Jonathan Pooley, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The other 18-year-old male passenger who was ejected remains in critical condition. Two other people in the vehicle sustained significant injuries.

 

It appears that only the driver was wearing a seat belt. Speed was a contributing factor to the accident, and it is suspected that alcohol may also be a factor.

 

The investigation is ongoing. No other information is available at this time.

Congratulations to Morrisville Police Officers Lori Strickland, Madison Cook and Beth Wyatt for receiving a Life Saving Award for their heroic efforts in September.  

On September 21, 2021 these officers responded to a gentleman in crisis. Once arrived they found the victim with severe self-inflicted wounds which were life threatening. All three officers immediately began life saving efforts resulting in saving this gentleman’s life. 

We are all very proud of these officers.  

With the bang of a gavel at the COP26 summit in Glasgow, diplomats struck an agreement that called on governments to return next year with stronger plans to curb emissions. The agreement states clearly that all nations will need to slash their carbon dioxide emissions nearly in half this decade to hold warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

It also urges wealthy nations to “at least double” funding by 2025 to protect the most vulnerable nations from the hazards of a hotter planet. And it explicitly mentions the need to curb fossil fuels, the first time a global climate agreement has done so.

But it still leaves many developing countries far short of the funds they need to build cleaner energy and cope with extreme weather. And it leaves unresolved the crucial question of exactly how the burden of those cuts will be shared and what action is expected of individual nations. Here are the key takeaways from the deal.

The three-judge panel declared that the rule, which requires that big companies force their workers to get vaccinated or submit to weekly testing, “grossly exceeds” the authority of the occupational safety agency that issued it.

But it is unlikely to be the final word. Some challenges to the mandate are in other circuits, and the cases will be consolidated before one of those jurisdictions. The Supreme Court is expected to eventually decide the matter.

In the last days of the battle against the Islamic State in Syria in 2019, an American jet dropped a 500-pound bomb on a crowd of women and children huddled by a river bank. Then, a jet tracking them dropped two 2,000-pound bombs, killing most of the survivors.

The Baghuz strike was one of the largest civilian casualty incidents of the war against the Islamic State, but it has never been publicly acknowledged by the U.S. military. The details, reported here for the first time, show that a legal officer flagged the strike as a possible war crime. But at nearly every step, the military made moves that concealed the catastrophic strike.

Jurors will be tasked with a complex set of decisions. Here’s a guide to the six criminal counts against Rittenhouse that the jury will be considering. It may also be asked to weigh lesser charges. Closing arguments are expected on Monday morning.

In the Ahmaud Arbery case, a lawyer for one of the men accused of murdering Arbery drew scrutiny after he said that the presence of the Rev. Al Sharpton in the courtroom had been “intimidating,” and added, “We don’t want any more Black pastors coming in here.”

Together, the two trials raise a question: Can self-defense laws stand up in a country awash in guns?
