Alfred Theodore “Ted” Goodwin, who was responsible for a series of bold rulings that helped shape Oregon today, died late last month at the age of 99 after serving more than six decades as a state and federal judge.

According to an obituary published by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Goodwin was “the oldest federal judge in the country, as well as the longest-serving current federal judge.” One of Goodwin’s sons told The Oregonian/OregonLive that Goodwin was working cases until about two years ago.

Actually many on here have praised the info, but if you don’t like it you can scroll.  I put the name in bold so you can see it, and go to your lists or whatever and make notations without having to read further. In both cases it’s not only helpful but a primer on how a proper obit posting should be made on DL.

Greg Allen, the current police chief of El Paso, Texas, has died. He was 71. El Paso was ranked among the safest large cities in the nation during his nearly 15 years at the helm of the Police Department. No easy feat, as it's a border town with Mexico,  not to mention being in Texas. The news comes as the federal Department of Justice decided not to seek the death penalty for El Paso Walmart shooter Patrick Crusius.

Looks like Jeremy Bamber will finally get his conviction overturned. Only 35 years late.

I mean the guy is clearly a tit, but also there is no way he could have done it, given the evidence. That has been clear for ages.

So prosecuting counsel at the Bamber trial Anthony Arlidge Times Obit: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/anthony-arlidge-kc-obituary-sfwcxrdvn

 

He's got an IMDB as himself in a couple of things (still quoted there as a QC, when he was a KC): https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5154722/

 

Apparently Arlidge thought Bamber the embodiment of evil. Bamber is still locked up.

 

Meantime, in passing, Arlidge ditched his then partner (not his wife) in 2012 when he was 75 for a would be barrister aged 27: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2184723/RICHARD-KAY-DJ-Caroline-Feradays-brief-encounter.html while still married to his wife, having already spent time with another woman.
