  Officer James Duckett, a former Mascotte police officer. 3/3/26 Summary   On May 11, 1987, 11-year-old Teresa McAbee walked to a convenience store to buy a pencil. James Aren Duckett, the only police officer on patrol that night, approached her in the parking lot, and witnesses saw her enter his squad car. The next morning, her body was found in Knight Lake, less than a mile away, showing signs of sexual battery, strangulation, and drowning. Evidence linked Duckett to the crime, including tire tracks from his patrol car at the scene and her palm prints on his cruiser.

Gosnell Jr., a suspended Charleston County magistrate, faces six federal counts related to child sexual exploitation, including possession, receipt, attempted receipt, distribution of child pornography, and conspiracy.

  International Pedophile and Child Emancipation   Summary Just wanted to let you know what’s out there. Information purposes only. Ipce, originally known as International Pedophile and Child Emancipation, was founded in the early 1990s and later changed its name in 1998 to distance itself from its full name. By 2005, it had 79 members across 20 countries and maintained websites in English, French, German, and Spanish. Initially a forum for scholarly discussions about mutual relationships between children or adolescents and adults—framed from an unbiased, human rights perspective—its role shifted over time into functioning primarily as a library of resources. The organization has explored ethical considerations, distinguishing "pedophilia" (feelings) from "pedosexuality" (acts) and adopting the principle "First, do no harm," supplemented by "and do not take the risk." A Finnish journalist, Matti Virtanen, attended Ipce's 2001 Berlin m...

  Idaho Governor Brad Little signed House Bill 37 into law on March 12, 2025, designating the firing squad as the state's primary method of execution. 3/17/25 (Old but Newsworthy) Summary Idaho Governor Brad Little signed House Bill 37 into law on March 12, 2025, designating the firing squad as the state's primary method of execution, effective July 1, 2026. This decision aligns with his stated support for capital punishment and the Idaho Legislature's policy on execution methods. The bill passed with significant support in both chambers—28–7 in the Senate and 58–11 in the House—though three Republican lawmakers joined all 15 Democrats in opposing it. Idaho is now the only state to authorize the firing squad as its primary execution method, with lethal injection as an alternative.   The move follows South Carolina's first firing squad execution in March 2025, marking the first such execution in the U.S. since 2010. Idaho's shift was partly driven by chal...
