'A travesty of justice': No murder charges over baby cut out of mother's womb

Denver, Colo., Apr 1, 2015 / 12:17 am (CNA/EWTN News).- The archbishop of Denver lamented the law’s failure to protect all human life after it was announced that no murder charge would be filed in connection with a baby who died after being cut out of her mother’s womb.

“When the unborn child of a pregnant woman is murdered, a homicide has been committed,” Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila stressed in a March 27 archdiocese press release.

He called for elected officials to enact laws that recognize that unborn children can be victims of violent crimes.

The archbishop’s comments came in response to Colorado police reports that Dynel Lane will not be charged with murder. Police said that Lane stabbed Michelle Wilkins, a 7-month pregnant woman who was answering a Craigslist ad for baby clothes last week.

Cut out of her mother’s stomach, the baby died as a result of the attack, reports said. Wilkins spent five days in intensive care, but survived.

Boulder District Attorney Stanley Garnett announced on March 27 that Lane would not be charged for murder counts, but could face up to 100 years in prison with eight other felony charges.

He said that he had talked to Wilkins’ family, who told him that the baby girl was to be named Aurora.

“Colorado law sadly does not recognize the unborn child as a person capable of having a crime, such as homicide, perpetrated against it,” reflected Archbishop Aquila.

Without proof that the baby was alive and breathing outside her mother’s womb during the attack, Colorado would not allow for homicide charges against the unborn child.

Calling the failure to charge Lane for murder a “travesty of justice,” Archbishop Aquila said the laws of the state, which do not protect unborn children from homicide, are an inadequate reflection of reality.

Garnett acknowledged that “a lot of people” wanted Lane to be charged with homicide, according to reports from the Washington Post.

She faces other charges of first-degree attempted murder with two sentence enhancements, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, and first degree unlawful termination of pregnancy.

Voicing his sorrow and prayers, Archbishop Aquila pointed to St. John Paul II's Gospel of Life, saying that the laws of Colorado should reflect this reality.

“There can be no true democracy without a recognition of every person's dignity and without respect for his or her rights. Nor can there be true peace unless life is defended and promoted,” he quoted.

The archbishop asked the faithful and all people of good will to pray for the Wilkins family as they suffer the loss of their unborn child.

“I pray that God's comfort will fill the hearts of Michelle and her family as they mourn the loss of Aurora and that the inadequate law of Colorado will change,” he said.  Reported by CNA 21 hours ago.

Colorado Theater Shooting Case Costs Taxpayers $2.2 Million Before Trial Even Starts

DENVER (AP) — Documents show taxpayer costs for the Colorado theater shooting case have risen to more than $2.2 million before the trial has even started, and that doesn't include legal costs for defendant James Holmes.

Officials in the Denver suburb of Aurora, where the July 2012 massacre occurred, said Wednesday they have spent more than $928,500 on the case, including $517,000 in overtime pay for police and other city employees. Prosecutors previously said they've spent $920,000 on the case. Court officials say they have spent $435,000, mostly on courtroom security.

Holmes' taxpayer-funded lawyers refuse to disclose their expenses, citing attorney-client privilege.

Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges in the killing of 12 people and injuring of 70. His trial is expected to start April 27. Reported by Huffington Post 8 hours ago.

Witty Barney Frank in town to talk about memoir

Business Insider asked Frank about Aaron Schock, the famously buff young Illinois congressman who retired March 31 while the FBI probes his alleged misuse of campaign and political funds, and who’s rumored to be gay despite his thumbs-down voting record on gay rights. If they’re not true,” Frank said of the rumors, “he spent entirely too much time in the gym for a straight man. The author, who rarely held his tongue while serving his Massachusetts constituents and Democratic ideals with distinction during his 32 years on Capitol Hill, may feel a bit freer to make jokes like that now. [...] he was doing it then, he says, cheerfully recalling his much-quoted response to the news in 2005 that former California congressman David Dreier, then rumored to be gay, was passed over for a Republican leadership position because he was supposedly too moderate: “Yes, in the sense that I marched in the moderate pride parade last summer and went to a moderate bar,” says fast-talking Frank, on his cell phone from Cambridge, Mass., where he’d just spoken to a group of Google employees. “By the time I retired, my marriage did better in the polls than my writing of the financial reform bill,” says Frank, slightly tongue in cheek. Among other things, he advocates cutting military spending and ending the war on drugs — “stop locking people up for smoking marijuana or taking cocaine” — and using that money for programs that “would diminish inequality,” make college more affordable for everybody and rebuild the America infrastructure, “so the construction guys and others have more work.” Frank, who writes about being in the closet earlier in his life and political career, was bugged by a recent review of his book by New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, who is gay, taking the author to task for not saying whether he was “dating or having sex, or how badly (or not) he wants to.” Bruni was also disappointed that Frank didn’t provide details from his dinner with his late congressional colleague Sonny Bono, their spouses and film director John Waters, who’d cast Bono in the original “Hairspray.” Premieres of various kinds mark the 24th season of Berkeley’s Aurora Theatre Company, which opens with the Bay Area premiere of Marisa Wegrzyn’s “Mud Blue Sky,” billed as “a comedy about finding common ground,” Sept. 3, followed by the local premiere of Amy The company’s 2015-16 season also includes the Joy Carlin-directed West Coast premiere of Sarah Treem’s “The How and the Why,” the West Coast premiere of David Ives’ “The Heir Apparent” and Athol Fugard’s apartheid-era classic “'Master Harold’ ... and the Boys,” featuring actor L.

Eastpark 70’s Phase I Distribution Building to Break Ground Summer 2015

Englewood, CO (PRWEB) April 02, 2015

Consolidated Investment Group (CIG) announced yesterday that they awarded CBRE with the exclusive listing for Eastpark 70, a 105-acre, state-of-the-art master planned industrial development project located near I-70 and Tower Road, at Smith Road and Ensenada Street. CBRE First Vice Presidents Doug Viseur and Todd Witty will represent the developer, EP 70, LLC, a single asset entity managed by Consolidated Investment Group, in the marketing of the asset for lease.

The project plans include three Class AA double-loaded distribution buildings comprised of 815,700 square feet with 32’ clear, ESFR sprinkler systems, dock high loading and on-site trailer parking. The project is scheduled to break ground summer 2015 with Building 1 delivery estimated for March 2016. Eastpark 70 is zoned M-1, Aurora with outside storage approved and offers nearby access to I-270, I-25, I-225 and E-470. In addition to the three large, bulk distribution buildings planned for the central portion of Eastpark 70, the master plan also includes smaller industrial buildings to be developed along the perimeter with sizes ranging from 9,000 to 80,000 square feet and has the potential for large outdoor storage yards.

“We are pleased to offer a range of industrial product types and space sizes to serve the growing distribution demands in the Denver market from both regional and national businesses at Eastpark 70,” said Chris Winn, CIG Asset Manager.

CIG obtained sole ownership of the Eastpark 70 project in 2009. Four smaller industrial buildings were developed on the northern portion of the property - two of which were subsequently sold to users and two of which are currently being leased. The remainder of the property has been graded for future development with public streets and utility connections.

“At this time, CIG plans to develop the property speculatively as long as demand for industrial space remains strong,” said Tim Bertoch, CIG Vice President of Real Estate. “CIG would also pursue build-to-suit opportunities at Eastpark 70 for prospective tenants with specific building needs,” Tim added.

Absolute Travel & SubSea Explorers Offer Rare Opportunity to Help Solve Mysteries of Roman Shipwrecks; Travelers Dive in $3M Submarine to Region Off-Limits for Centuries

This summer adventurous travelers can become underwater explorers in a region off-limits to the public for centuries. Experiential travel company, Absolute Travel, in partnership with SubSea Explorers, offers individuals the rare opportunity to become part of a deep-sea archaeological team; this inner space adventure will allow people intrigued with the allure of undersea exploration to discover Roman and Greek shipwrecks, not seen by human eyes for 2,000 years, in a state-of-the-art, 3-passenger private submersible off the coast of Sicily in the Aeolian Islands.

(PRWEB) April 02, 2015

Ian Koblick is the visionary behind this underwater adventure. An Explorers Club Member since 1978 and distinguished Lowell Thomas Award recipient, Koblick has led four Explorers Club Flag Expeditions in the last six years. It was on these expeditions that the Roman shipwrecks were discovered. The shipwrecks will be shared with citizen archaeologists and adventurous travelers for the first time this summer. “We are bringing underwater archaeology to a new level. It is an unusual privilege to be part of a crew uncovering the cultural remains of a civilization dating back 2,000 years,” says Ian Koblick. “For the last seven years I have worked with several European governments to locate these shipwrecks, and gain this unprecedented access for undersea explorers. I am thrilled to offer this adventure through the Explorers Club and their travel partner Absolute Travel. There’s nothing else like it.”

Participants will undergo three two-hour missions in the $3 million submarine built with 360-degree views and dive capabilities up to 1,000 feet. Each mission will carry two guests working alongside a marine archeologist and submarine pilot to the wrecks, whose wooden frames have deteriorated but whose amphora and cargo remain intact. Under the supervision and direction of the Superintendent of the Seas of Sicily, Sebastiano Tusa, essential artifacts that hold clues to ancient Roman life and the ships’ mysterious disappearances will be recovered from the seafloor, curated and displayed in local regional exhibits. Participants will assist archeologists at regional excavation sites to gain an insider’s perspective into their work.

The program offers eight one-week missions in 2015: June 20-26; June 27-July 3; July 4-July 10; July 11-July 17; July 18-July 24; July 25-August 7; August 8-August 14; August 15-August 21. One week archeology submarine program includes: 3-person air-conditioned submarine, support ship, support crew, all required equipment, villa hotel and meals. Program cost per person is $19,700; 6 person maximum. Up to $9,700 of the total cost per person may be treated as a charitable contribution to Aurora Trust Foundation.

Alternatively, travelers can choose to stay on their own yacht. The cost is $145,000 for a group of up to 10 people. Up to 75% of the total cost may be treated as a charitable contribution to Aurora Trust Foundation.

Koblick and his not-for-profit Aurora Trust Foundation in conjunction with the Superintendent of the Seas of Sicily; SubSea Explorers, a marine archeology expedition company; and U-Boat Worx, a Dutch mini-submarine manufacturer, offers the program. Reported by PRWeb 13 hours ago.

Physician Hearing Centers, with Ohio locations in Macedonia and Mayfield Heights, is now offering powerful digital hearing aids that can connect directly to compatible Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices, acting as both an advanced hearing aid and as a pair of high definition wireless headphones.

Macedonia, Ohio (PRWEB) April 02, 2015

Physician Hearing Centers is proud to offer Ohio the most advanced digital hearing aids to date. Described by the manufacturers as “smart hearing aids,” these devices not only provide top-quality sound amplification — they also connect wirelessly to compatible Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch devices.

By connecting the smart hearing aids to a portable Apple device, the user gains access to several features, all wirelessly delivered to the hearing aids. The user can receive calls, listen to music — even receive turn-by-turn GPS navigation — all sent directly to the hearing aids in high definition and without the presence of background noise.

Additionally, the smart hearing aids can turn the compatible Apple devices into hearing aid remote controls. From the Apple device, users can fine-tune the volume, treble, and bass of incoming sound, in addition to switching between the environmental presets programmed by their hearing specialist. With maximum, easy-to-access control, hearing can be optimized in any listening situation, including busy restaurants and noisy stadiums or theaters.

For individuals suffering from tinnitus, a condition characterized by a persistent ringing in the ears, the smart hearing aids contain built-in sound therapy options that can mask the ringing, providing much-needed relief. And if an individual has other sounds or music they normally use to help mask their tinnitus, those sounds and music tracks can typically be streamed as well.

While these are some of the primary features, the possibilities are limited only by the number and variety of applications users have installed on their Apple devices. Any frequently used applications can deliver high quality sound directly to the hearing aids, allowing users complete flexibility in enjoying all of their favorite applications.

Additional information about Made for iPhone hearing aids can be found at http://www.physicianhearingcenters.com or by calling the contact numbers below.
