Judge OKs 1st-degree murder case in sleeping western Pa. woman's death
GREENSBURG, Pa. - A judge has ruled that prosecutors will be allowed to seek a first-degree murder conviction against a man accused of killing a sleeping woman by firing several shots into a western Pennsylvania home in the mistaken belief that someone inside was part of a botched drug deal.Nathan Quidetto, 23, of Unity, is charged in Westmoreland County with criminal homicide, reckless endangerment and weapons offenses in the July 2020 death of 52-year-old Tracy Marie Squib.State police allege that Quidetto wanted to scare someone involved in the botched drug deal but drove to the wrong house — "not even close to being at the right house," a police spokesman said — and fired several shots at the home around 4 a.m., hitting Squib, who was sleeping inside along with her husband and two children.Defense attorney Emily Smarto argued there was no evidence that Quidetto intended to kill Squib and argued that the first-degree murder count should be dismissed, but the Tribune-Review reports that the judge disagreed.Common Pleas Court Judge Tim Krieger said defendants can be convicted of murder "where the commonwealth proves that the only difference between the intended result and the actual result is the person harmed."Krieger also rejected a separate defense attempt to bar prosecutors from using Quidetto’s statements to investigators.

'Ball is in your corner': Family accusing Sesame Place of discrimination calls on Sea World to take action
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. - A week after a controversial video of an incident at Sesame Place went viral, the family is calling on its parent company Sea World to take action.Jodi Brown posted the video of her daughter Skylar Brown, 6, and niece Nylah Brown, 6, being ignored by the character Rosita during a parade at the theme park. The video, which has been viewed more than 750,000 times, sparked national outrage and prompted celebrities and public figures to call on Sesame Place for answers.Sesame Place has issued three apologies, calling the incident "unacceptable" and saying it would conduct training for employees to deliver a more "inclusive, equitable and entertaining experience."More families have since come forward with allegations and videos alleging similar experiences at the park. A new video shared Friday appears to show Rosita interacting with a white child after ignoring Skylar and Nylah. The video also allegedly contradicts Sesame Place's claim that the character was motioning "No" to another family.RELATED HEADLINESIn a second press conference Saturday, attorney B'Ivory Lamarr stood alongside attorney Ben Crump, Jodi Brown and both children, who he called the "faces of America as it stands against racism."Crump, a civil rights and personal injury attorney, says they are demanding action from Sea World, telling the parent company, "The ball is in your corner.""We will see if Sea World will do the right thing: danger or opportunity," he said.
