Jameis Winston’s sexual assault scandal is
reappearing. The case has been closed for months but Winston’s lawyer is saying
he will cooperate with authorities. The assault was filed in December. The case
was closed before he had ever been questioned. No one has been charged for
anything and the subject’s description of the perpetrator didn’t match Winston.
The description was a height ranging between 5-foot-9 and 5-foot-11 which is
shorter than Winston who is 6-foot-4. Willie Meggs, the state attorney, doesn’t
think much is going to come from this reopening of the case. It is just happening
at a bad time for Winston because he is in the running for the Heisman Trophy.

Body found in hospital stairwell: San Francisco sheriff details what went wrong
Lynne Spalding Ford was found dead in a stairwell in
the same hospital she disappeared from nine days earlier. After disappearing,
Lynne’s family searched the city while passing out thousands of fliers. Information
as to when and how she died is unknown thus far. She checked into the hospital
for a bladder infection on September 19th and was found dead in the stairwell by an hospital engineering employee on October 8th. Numerous amounts of mishaps during the search for
Lynne resulted in her not being found for this long amount of time. New policies are being instated
to further prevent more incidents as horrible as this from happening again.

What's in your spices? Bug parts and rat hair
New
reports conducted by the Food and Drug Administration say that 12% of U.S.
spice imports contain bug parts, rodent hairs, and other ingredients similar.
They not only found this but also that 7% of spice imports passed by inspectors
also contain salmonella. Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause abdominal
cramps, fevers, and diarrhea. On the good side, out of the 37 years of records
analyzed a “relatively small number of outbreaks” compared to what it could
have been occurred. Only 14 outbreaks worldwide occurred from these spices, which caused
128 hospitalizations and around than 2,000 human illnesses. These spices go
through many small hands before it gets to stores. There are many chances for
contamination. Safety precautions are being taken and former ones are being
tighten to hopefully prevent this from happening again.

were waiting to be transferred to the state prison to serve their time when
they escaped. The other man was waiting for his trail due to a gun charge. Two of these inmates were captured on Monday but two still remain loose and are being considered “armed and dangerous”.

No charges for firefighter who ran over Asiana crash survivor
Because
of the Asiana Airlines crash Flight 214 two people died and more than 180
people on the flight were injured. One of the most distressful incidents was
the death of Ye Mengyuan. She was a 16-year-old girl from China who was flung
from the plane as it crashed. As she laid there she was run over by a rescue
vehicle driven by a firefighter. From the autopsy it was decided that she was
alive when she landed after being flung but died because of being run over. This
is a tragic accident and the firefighter who ran the girl over and the
department he is from is apologizing profusely. As they said, “there’s not a
lot of words to describe how badly we feel about it.” He is not being charged for this accidental killing.

Abandoned Philly prison adds screams for Halloween
“Terror Behind the
Walls” is the nation’s largest haunted house excluding amusement parks and is
set in Philadelphia’s Eastern State Penitentiary. This penitentiary was opened
in 1829, with indoor plumbing even before the White House. It is abandoned now
but was home to Gangster Al Capone before it closed in 1971. People come from
all over to see this spooky extravaganza on Halloween. It is filled with a
psychedelic 3-D room, pathways through the decaying property and 130 actors playing
guards screaming for help and infirmary patients howling in pain under the
knife of broken doctors. As of this year, visitors can opt to allow the actors
to touch and interact with them. This haunted house has been going on for 22
years and accounts for 60 percent of the yearly budget for the property. It
might even be home to real paranormal activity!

On July 7, 2013 Cody Johnson fell to his death off
of a cliff as he hiked through a national park with his wife. Jordan Linn
Graham and Cody Johnson had been married a little over a week when she
supposedly pushed him off the cliff to his death. She is being accused of
murder. At a recent court hearing she pleaded not guilty and was released. Her
next court date is set for October 15th. From what her friends say their marriage,
though it was still very new, was already rocky with a lot of fights occurring It is
still unsure if Jordan Linn Graham actually murdered Cody because their fight on
top of the cliff was a jumbled mess of pushing and shoving.
