In Gwinnett County, Georgia, a jury awarded William Martinez's widow a three million dollar verdict in a medical malpractice case involving Martinez, who suffered a fatal heart attack during a sex act with two other people, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Before the sexual three-way, William Martinez, a 31-year-old police officer, went to Dr. Sreeni Gangasani at the Cardiovascular Group in Lawrenceville, Georgia after experiencing heart problems.

Martinez estate lawyers said that Dr. Gangasani should have recognized that Martinez's heart symptoms were serious, sent him to the hospital for treatment right away and warned him against getting too physical.

Dr. Gangasani did schedule a stress test for eight days later, but a few days after the doctor's visit, Martinez went to a motel near Hartsfield-Jackson Airport to join a woman and another man for a sexual rendezvous.

Martinez reportedly died after having sex numerous times. The female sex partner found him collapsed on the floor on March 12, 2009.

The Good News Club, an after-school club sponsored by a group called the Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF), is offering bible lessons to public school children that include the biblical story of God telling Saul to kill the godless Amalekites.

In the bible, 1 Samuel (15:3) says: "Now go, attack the Amalekites, and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys."

However, some people are concerned that this story will teach genocide to children, as various faiths have tried to use it to justify violent acts, reports the U.K. Guardian.

On their web site, the CEF says: "As with all CEF ministries, the purpose of Good News Club is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living."

A 55-year-old woman shot dead her husband and teenage daughter and stayed at home with their bodies for three days, according to police.

Regina Johnson, from San Diego, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder after the bodies of her husband Reuben, 56, and daughter Aaliyah,14, were discovered on Saturday.

Police believe they had been shot on Wednesday and were lying in the home ever since. They have not yet established a motive.

Reuben Johnson's sister Deborah Spinner told 10News.com: 'It's like we can't wake up from this nightmare. There are so many questions. Why, why would you do this to Aaliyah? She was a child.'

Neighbors described the family as quiet and said the daughter and her father seemed quite close

Reuben Johnson served in the Navy for 20 years, before retiring in 2009 as a chief petty officer. He had been working as a security guard ever since.

Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:24 UTC
In a gruesome incident, a man in Germany killed his wife today by cutting her into pieces and severing her head in front of his six young children.

Orhan Sircasi, 32, then ran on to the roof of his apartment building clutching his wife's severed head in one hand and a butcher's knife in the other. The killer of Turkish origin fought off police as they tried to seize him early this morning by lunging at them with the knife and swinging the head like a club.

After he lunged at police with the severed head of his wife he threw it from the roof of his five storey apartment building to the street below. He was overpowered on the rooftop in Berlin and taken into custody, the Daily Mail reported.

Then officers entered the apartment in the Kreuzberg district of the capital to find the dismembered body of his wife and the six children aged from nine months to ten years.

Idea: Rubber-stamp dollar bills with Occupy messages

Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's ice cream and one of the deep pockets behind the Occupy movement, says he is helping launch a campaign this summer to highlight the influence of corporate money in American politics.

Cohen and the Move to Amend advocacy group will distribute rubber stamps with anti-corporate election spending messages so that the politically minded can mark their dollar bills. The end goal: To secure a constitutional amendment saying corporations do not enjoy the same protected rights as individuals and that money is not a form of speech.

Cohen plans to put a giant stamping machine on a national tour in August to encourage "thousands of people to buy rubber stamps and stamp any currency that comes into their possession," he tells Yahoo News. According to his attorney, this is legal, as long as the bills are still legible after the stamping. The Occupy movement tried the stamp tactic last October, defacing dollar bills with infographics that showed the income distribution in American society.

This round of stamps will include "Corporations are not people," "Money is not speech" and "Not to be used for bribing politicians," among other slogans.

Lagos, Nigeria -- The pilot of the Dana Air plane that crashed into a densely populated neighborhood in Lagos, Nigeria, radioed that the plane was having trouble just minutes earlier, an airline official told CNN on Monday.

The details emerged as search and rescue crews worked to recover bodies from the wreckage, while authorities searched for the flight data recorders to try to piece together what brought down the plane Sunday, killing all 153 people aboard and at least 10 on the ground.

The death toll will likely rise as crews search through the rubble of a two-story residential building that the McDonnell Douglas MD-83 plane struck.

It was unclear how many people were inside the building and on the street outside at the time of the crash, Mohammad Sani Sidi, the emergency management director, told CNN from the crash site.

US, Montana- A Bozeman man says TSA agents at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport went to far while conducting a security check on his 73-year-old mother Saturday.

"Putting their hands on her breasts, under her bra, between her thighs, in her thighs. I mean this is a senior citizen for god's sake. I understand some security issues, but this bordering on obscene" said Eli Anselmany.

Anselmany hopes that by sharing his story will make a difference. In addition to talking with KBZK, he emialed Senator John Tester and State Senator Joe Bayleat.

We called the TSA Coordination Center and for now, TSA has no comment on the incident.

Mexico Police Find Tortured Bodies of 3 Paramedics and a Salesman

Police in Mexico have found the tortured bodies of three young paramedics and a salesman bearing gunshot wounds along a highway in the western state of Michoacán.

State prosecutor's spokesman Jonathan Arredondo says the men were last seen by their relatives two days before they were discovered Saturday near the town of La Angostura.

Arredondo said Sunday the motives for the killings are not clear.

The men were aged 18 to 23 and came from the neighboring state of Jalisco. That is the base of a gang allied with the Sinaloa cartel that is locked in a fight with violent, pseudo-religious Knights Templar group of Michoacán. Arredondo says they may have been abducted in their town of Ocotlán and driven 40 minutes away to be killed.

Police Brutality: Three Years Later, State Police Admit to Using Unreasonable Force on New Jersey Man's Disabled Son

On an early May morning in 2009, after the State Police had searched through the night trying to find two burglary suspects in Warren County, they stopped a car James Bayliss, then 21, was riding in and asked him to step outside so he could be searched.

What happened next was captured by a dashboard video camera inside a State Police patrol car. The recording, which never before has been made public, was recently obtained by The Star-Ledger.

It shows Bayliss standing against the car as Staff Sgt. Richard Wambold Jr. frisks him. A few seconds later, after what appears to be a slight movement, the video shows Wambold throw Bayliss to the ground, kneel and punch him several times in the face.

An eyewitness in a nearby home said in a sworn deposition that she watched from her window as two troopers, later identified as Wambold and Trooper Keith Juckett, then dragged a limp, handcuffed Bayliss toward a parked patrol car and rammed his head against a tire.

She said the troopers' actions "disgusted" her.

What's more, Bayliss is not an average young man. A car accident in 2005 left him with a permanent mental disability, and his friend driving the car that morning, Timothy Snyder, told the State Police troopers on the scene about his condition before he was beaten.

On Friday, after being told The Star-Ledger was planning to publish this story and make the video public on nj.com, the State Police announced for the first time that two troopers involved in the incident used unreasonable force.

Loveable Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg called his first few thousand users "dumb fucks" for trusting him with their data, published IM transcripts show. Facebook hasn't disputed the authenticity of the transcript.

Zuckerberg was chatting with an unnamed friend, apparently in early 2004. Business Insider, which has a series of quite juicy anecdotes about Facebook's early days, takes the credit for this one.

The exchange apparently ran like this:

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask.

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don't know why.

Zuck: They "trust me"

Zuck: Dumb fucks
