Death Impends 7,989 Posted July 15, 2017 Easy way to remember if ITV qualifies or not: If in the url is itv.com/news/(date)... then it's a national story that qualifies for DDP. If there's something else inbetween "news" and the date, then it's local. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FixedBusiness 407 Posted July 18, 2017 Not sure which thread I should put this in but I'll put it here. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/hersh-wolch-dead-heart-attack-1.4208937 Hersh Wolch, who was a "passionate, tenacious" defender of the wrongly convicted, has died of a heart attack at age 77 He was most famous for clearing David Milgaard of the wrongly convicted murder which I will link at the bottom of the post. He helped convict the real killer, Larry Fisher. He was also involved in numerous other cases such as Steven Truscott. Wiki for Hersh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hersh_Wolch Wiki for Milgaard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Milgaard Also, I'd just like to note that David Milgaard is the subject of one of Tragically Hips' most famous songs, Wheat Kings. David Milgaard is a very interesting story for sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 22, 2017 Kenneth Jay Lane, the designer and bon vivant who built a global business from glittering acts of unabashed deception, producing fake and junk jewelry — or, as he liked to say, tongue in cheek, “faque” and “junque” — has died at his home in Manhattan. He was 85. A rather interesting obit if one cares to read. And a fellow Detroiter. SC 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
