York County court halts release of man awaiting retrial in wife's death

YORK, Pa. - An appeals court has halted the release of a man awaiting a new trial on charges of having killed his wife and then faking an all-terrain vehicle accident to cover up the slaying a decade ago.Local media report that a York County judge last week had cleared the way for the release of 49-year-old Joe Fitzpatrick III of Chanceford Township. He's accused of having drowned 43-year-old Annemarie Fitzpatrick in a creek in June 2012 and then telling police they crashed their ATV in the water.The judge cited a state constitutional provision saying bail should be allowed except in first-degree murder or mandatory life term cases, and said details of the trial and Fitzpatrick's lack of a significant criminal record made bail a viable option.

DA: Philadelphia man sold homemade edibles to kids, delivered them to schools and homes

PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia man has been arrested after officials say he made a business out of selling homemade THC edibles to children as young as 11 years old.Quashon Rice, 20, is accused of manufacturing and selling THC-laced "treats," then delivering them to schools, park and children's homes all over Montgomery County.Officials say an investigation was launched in May when a student at East Norriton Middle School became sick after unknowingly eating a drug-laced rainbow-colored Rice Krispy treat.The treat was reportedly given to him by another student, who was selling edibles purchased from Instagram. The student paid cash for the edibles, which were delivered directly to them at a park in their neighborhood.According to an investigation, Rice communicated with multiple juveniles through two Instagram accounts; "top2treats" and "toptreatz4." He allegedly quoted specific prices, delivery fees and available THC products; including Fruity Pebbles bars, cookies, brownies and Cinnamon Toast Crunch bars.Evidence proved Rice knew he was selling drugs to children as young as 11 years old, officials say. Detectives also found Rice was soliciting juveniles to help him sell the drug-laced edible for a discount.

Bonjean told the jurors, reminding them they were chosen because they promised they would be able to consider only the facts presented in court.

Bill that would limit inmates' records access passes House

It would amend the state’s Right-to-Know Law by restricting the access inmates have to documents held by governments and public agencies.Agencies would be required to supply public government documents about the inmate only in specified categories, and as long as those records don’t "diminish the safety or security" of anyone or the correctional facility where the inmate is being held.Incarcerated people are regarded as any other requester through current law, said Liz Wagenseller, executive director of the Office of Open Records.Rep.

Why a Northern California gas station is charging nearly $10 a gallon

MENDOCINO, Calif. - Gas prices at one Northern California gas station are getting very close to $10 a gallon.A Chevron station in Mendocino was charging $9.63 this week for a gallon of regular gas.Aldo Vazquez, who works at AAA Northern California, says it costs more to bring gas to this rural area, so that company has to charge more to stay in business."When you factor in transportation costs, the proximity to pipelines, those can also add up to the price of gasoline," Vaszquez said on Monday. "That’s why we always recommend doing your research because if you can find a different route, you may end up in an area with cheaper prices."It's still expensive to buy gas elsewhere in the country, but way less expensive than California, which has the highest average in the nation hovering around $6.40 a gallon, according to AAA.

These electric vehicles are cheaper to own than gas ones now

vehicles is expensive, which is why their prices are high, and it's mostly about the batteries.Costs have been coming down over the years, but Ford CEO Jim Farley revealed at the Bernstein Conference in early June that the battery pack in a Ford Mustang Mach-E is still around $18,000 to produce.That’s a big part of why the base price is $43,895, not including delivery, while a similarly spacious Ford Escape starts at $28,520.This sort of premium is still the rule when it comes to electric vehicles, which often provide greater power and other features as a bonus, but also have the drawbacks of short driving ranges and long charging times.The $7,500 federal tax credit helps level the playing field, but the annual estimated energy savings of $1,650 the Mach-E offers over the Escape can't close the gap without it for nearly five years. That figure assumes the vehicles are driven the EPA annual estimated average of 15,000 miles at today’s inflated gas prices.THE MOST FUEL EFFICIENT GAS-POWERED VEHICLE MIGHT SURPRISE YOUHowever, a few automakers, including Ford, have aggressively priced some models to the point that they can cover their premiums in energy savings in just the first three years of ownership, if not much sooner.Here are a few of today’s discounted electric rides:The Bolt EV is the lowest-priced electric vehicle in the U.S.

Decero’s Jeep was located somewhere different with no gas, and he was nowhere to be found. On May 4, officers found an unresponsive male in the area of 31st and Tasker Streets after a group of juveniles said they saw the body in the brush on Douglas Street. Police told FOX 29’s Kelly Rule that they were investigating if Decero was tortured because his body was found shot, stabbed, beaten and burned. Investigators originally followed a lead that Decero might have been targeted over recent lottery winnings, according to a source.
