Activists and family members of John Hernandez, killed outside a Denny's restaurant in 2017, demanded Friday that a former sheriff's deputy initially charged in the case not be granted an appeal to regain her job.
Chauna Thompson filed a request to be rehired in 2017 after she was fired in connection with the killing of Hernandez, 24, who was strangled by her husband, Terry Thompson, in her presence while she was off-duty.
Terry Thompson was sentenced to 25 years in prison, but the Harris County District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday that it had dropped a murder charge against Chauna Thompson because prosecutors lacked sufficient evidence to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. A cellphone video of the incident on May 28 of that year appeared to show Thompson helping her husband restrain Hernandez. The Thompsons alleged Hernandez was urinating outside the restaurant.
"We are protesting to prevent the Sheriff's Office to rehire Thompson because she is a danger to our society; she helped murder my nephew," said Hernandez's aunt, Wendy Maldonado, at a protest in front of the sheriff's office.
"When you are a police officer, whether you are on duty or off duty, you are supposed to follow guidelines, policies, rules and regulations, and she did not act like a police officer that night. She aided her husband in murdering my nephew," said Maldonado.
Family members believe, based the video, that Thompson helped her husband kill Hernandez by pinning down the only hand that he had free to defend himself.
Hernandez's mother, Maria Elena Hernandez, said Thompson should not be permitted to work in law enforcement.
Edison Toquica, the sheriff's office chief deputy, said Thompson's appeal is "going through a due process as it is the right to any employee." It's unclear whether Thompson still wants to rejoin the sheriff's office, Toquica said.


The Nigerian Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL) is planning to assist smallholder farmers to generate a total revenue of N1.6tn.
The revenue is expected to be generated through the cultivation of four million hectares of farm produce such as maize, rice, cassava and cotton.
NIRSAL is a risk-sharing system created by the Central Bank of Nigeria with a mandate to enhance the flow of affordable finance and investments into fixed agricultural value chains.
The Managing Director, NIRSAL, Mr Aliyu Abdulhameed, gave these figures during a workshop organised by the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa and the Arewa Research and Development Project.
The workshop focused on addressing capacity gaps in order to boost agriculture in Africa.
He said NIRSAL is using technology to address some of the challenges affecting the agricultural value chain.
For instance, he said NIRSAL was using Geospatial mapping to aggregate four million hectares of arable land as a pilot project, adding that this would be broken down into 16,000 Geo-Cooperatives of 250 hectares each.
The NIRSAL MD said at an average yield of four tonnes per hectare, these optimised smallholder farmers production would generate a gross output of grain product equivalent of about 16 million tonnes.
He noted that at a conservative value of N100,000 per tonne of grain, this output would result in N1.6tn gross revenue from the four million hectares.
He said, "We are deploying world-class technological capabilities for field mapping of agricultural commodity endemic areas, acquiring geospatial data using satellite technology, which enables us to direct financial and technical support to farming areas with highest yield potential.


It's fashionable these days to dismiss John Elliott's contribution to the Carlton Football Club as the new administration sets out to get away from playing home games at Princes Park. The cost of a stand alone headquarters, say the bean counters, is too great and Carlton should join the rest of the Melbourne based AFL clubs and move to either the MCG or the Docklands for their home games.
Big John always thought the battle to be the last remaining self sufficient Melbourne club was worth fighting for as he understood the value of the home ground advantage. By my calculations when Carlton plays an interstate side at the MCG it has a home advantage of about eight points but that rises to nearly 20 points when the game is at Princes Park. That's an extra two goals a game.
Now the argument goes that revenue from games at Princes Park is less than at the MCG but in my experience that is often nonsense. The Kangaroos, for example, do better financially playing in front of 13,000 people in Canberra than they do with a crowd of 25,000 at the home of football. And, in any case, you need a hell of a lot of revenue to equal two goals a game.
For those of us who fancy a bet on a game of AFL there is an opportunity when Carlton (or Geelong for that matter) play at home. Most punters, baffled by most Melbourne sides no longer having a real home ground, fail to take the extra 12 points into account. See our best bets section for current recommendations.

AG SAYS COUNTY CAN'T BAN RX POT: Rema Rahman of the Annapolis Capital reports that Anne Arundel County Executive Steve Schuh's administration vowed to press forward with a proposal to prohibit medical marijuana facilities in Anne Arundel County despite a letter from the Maryland Attorney General's Office stating that counties cannot ban operations allowed by state law.
Sen.Bobby Zirkin, chairman of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee, said the advisory letter he requested from the state's top attorney backs his claim that while counties have wide latitude to enact zoning laws to regulate medical marijuana operations those laws cannot prohibit state-approved growing, manufacturing or dispensing, Bryan Sears writes for the Daily Record.
MEDICAL POT PLANT FOR HURLOCK: Former Federalsburg Town Council President Ken Abner may not have won re-election to his seat this past Tuesday, Sept. 22, but he said, "that does not stop my voice." Abner is the CEO of a company that grows and manufactures medical marijuana, one of which is eyeing property at the Hurlock Industrial Park, the former site of Marvesta Shrimp Farms, writes Katie Willis for the Easton Star Democrat.
AIRPORT CHIEF IN DISPUTE WITH FAA: Cleveland's international airport has been fined $735,000 by the Federal Aviation Administration for repeatedly failing to keep its runways safe during the administration of its former chief, who was hired by Gov. Larry Hogan this summer to run BWI Marshall Airport. The FAA action this month comes after Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and its former director, Ricky D. Smith Sr., were accused in a complaint to the U.S. Labor Department of illegally retaliating against the whistle-blower who brought some of the problems to light, Michael Dresser reports in the Sun.
BAY CLEANUP CONTROVERSY: The Clean Chesapeake Coalition, a group of seven Maryland counties formed to challenge the priorities and science of the $14.4 billion cleanup mandate for the Bay, is again sparring with environmental groups it says continue to ignore the Susquehanna River as the single largest source of pollution that flows into the Bay. This year the argument has moved from nitrogen to phosphorus with environmental groups taking aim at the Eastern Shore's chicken belt, floating an idea for an eight-year moratorium on new chicken houses until a Phosphorus Management Tool is fully implemented in 2024. The Conowingo Dam releases 30% of the total annual phosphorus into the Bay, writes Dan Menefee of the Kent Guardian for MarylandReporter.com.
HOGAN TO MEET POPE: Gov. Larry Hogan is expected to have a semi-private meeting with Pope Francis in Washington D.C. Thursday afternoon, Hogan's office confirmed Wednesday. Erin Cox of the Sun reports that a Hogan spokesman said the governor will meet the pontiff in a small gathering alongside the Catholic Charities of Washington, D.C. Hogan, who is Catholic, returned home to the governor's mansion Tuesday after five days of chemotherapy.
HUNGER IN MARYLAND: In an op-ed for the Sun, Deborah Flateman of the Maryland Food Bank writes that if you haven't experienced hunger yourself, you likely know someone who has. Nationally, one in seven Americans does not always know where their next meal will come from. Here in Maryland, more than 750,000 of our neighbors are food insecure. There is no one-size-fits-all description of what hunger in our communities looks like.
CASINO FINES POSSIBLE: Two Maryland casinos are facing potential fines for alleged violations of state gaming laws. Horseshoe Casino faces potential fines of up to $5,000 per instance for allowing underage persons on the gaming floor, including five people in an Aug. 18 citation and 11 others stemming from a May 28 citation that was amended in last month, according to Erica Palmisano, a spokeswoman for the agency. The Baltimore casino also faces sanctions for a regulatory violation that was discovered in an audit earlier this year. Details about the nature of the violation were not immediately available, Bryan Sears reports for the Daily Record.
BETTING ON MARYLAND LIVE: The Anne Arundel County Council has made a huge bet on the Maryland Live casino, opines the editorial board for the Sun, committing to a $22.5 million investment in bonds so that the Cordish Cos. might build a $150 million, 300-room, 17-story hotel and conference center adjacent to the casino at Arundel Mills. The 4-3 victory was hard won, but even opponents described it as a close call. As profitable as Maryland Live, the state's largest casino, has been, its place in the market is far from guaranteed. The $1.2 billion MGM National Harbor hotel and casino is little more than one year away from its opening day, and the self-styled destination resort is likely to prove a formidable competitor.
MAGLEV FOR MARYLAND? Sheilah Kast of WYPR-FM speaks with Wayne Rodgers of the North East Maglev project and Brian O'Malley of the Central Maryland Transportation Alliance about the proposed Maglev project.
TRANS & IN PRISON: A transgender inmate who says she was called "it" and "some kind of animal" by guards who watched her shower has won a legal victory that forces the Maryland prison system to better train for how to treat transgender people, advocates say. Neon Brown, who goes by Sandy, said in a grievance that she was sent to the state prison at Patuxent in February 2014 for a psychological screening, according to an AP report at WBFF-TV.
O'MALLEY SLAMS CLINTON ON SYRIA: John Fritze of the Sun writes that Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley criticized front-runner Hillary Clinton on Wednesday for waiting weeks to call on the White House to accept more refugees fleeing violence in Syria. The former Maryland governor also said Clinton's path to the Democratic nomination seemed "no longer quite so inevitable," and that voters want clarity from their politicians rather than the "triangulation" politics of the first Clinton administration.
NOT THAT BEN CARSON? Laslo Boyd of Center Maryland writes:t Once upon a time, there was a famous pediatric neurosurgeon who lived in Maryland. He performed pioneering surgeries, was widely seen as an inspirational leader in his field, and had a fascinating life story. It was hard to imagine anyone having a more glowing reputation than he had. … Today, there's a guy running for the Republican Presidential nomination with the same name who looks an awful lot like that neurosurgeon. Any resemblance to the brilliant doctor ends there.
PARK PICKED FOR REBEL STATUE: Montgomery County officials have chosen Beall-Dawson Historical Park in Rockville, the site of a home built by slave-owning Unionists, as the preferred new location for a 102-year-old statue of a Confederate soldier, Bill Turque reports for the Post.
KITTLEMAN SEEKS TO STOP CUT: Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman asked members of Maryland's congressional delegation this week to help stop a federal proposal that would cut the rental assistance offered to low-income families in Columbia, calling it "harsh and troubling."

'Just bring her back to us': Family, police beg for return of AMBER Alert tot Vanessa Morales; father now in police custody
by Ellen Killoran
1,547 Shares Tweet
The father of a missing 1-year-old Connecticut girl whose mother was found murdered is reportedly in police custody.
NBC Connecticut reports that the father of Vanessa Morales is in custody in New Haven on charges unrelated to his daughter's disappearance or her mother's apparent murder.
The unidentified man was reportedly in a relationship with 43-year-old Christine Holloway, who was found dead of blunt force trauma in her Ansonia home on Monday. Police have said the father has been cooperative with the investigation, and did not live at the home with Vanessa and her mother, though he sometimes stayed there. There is no indication at this time that Vanessa's father is believed to be involved in Holloway's murder or his daughter's disappearance.
Ansonia Police Lt. Patrick Lynch reportedly said at a news conference on Thursday that Vanessa police believe the toddler girl is with someone who is not a danger to her, but that this person needs to come forward.
"We believe that she is with someone safe, and we want to make it a priority that they understand whatever circumstances that they have received Vanessa, just bring her back to us so we know she's safe," Lynch said, according to NBC Connecticut.
Vanessa's aunt, identified only as Anna, reportedly made a plea for the girl's return.
"We the family would like to ask for anyone in our communities and beyond us to help bring Vanessa home safely. Anyone with any information on her whereabouts, we beg of you, please contact Ansonia Police Department or call the FBI tip line 203-503-5555. We desperately need anyone that may be with baby Vanessa to keep her safe, unharmed and get her back to us quickly."
As CrimeOnline previously reported, investigators were in Hamden, Connecticut, on Thursday, reportedly to follow up on a tip involving a donation bin. Local police were later joined by the State Police Major Crimes Unit. It is unclear at this time if the search yielded anything related to the missing persons of the homicide investigation.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has objected to the use of the Sikh holy 'mool mantar' as background lyrics for a dance performance at a programme that President Ram Nath Kovind recently attended in Chile.
SGPC was inundated with complaints from Sikhs across the world after a video clip of the performance, also uploaded on the President's official Twitter handle, went viral.
SGPC chief secretary Roop Singh said Sikhs were offended with the use of the holy Sikh chant.
"In Sikhism, the mool mantar and Japji Sahib prayers hold immense significance and it ought to be recited with 'maryada' (respect).
Conducting a dance item on its rhythm could not be held valid under any circumstances. It was shocking that this video clip was posted on the official social media account of President of India. This move has hurt the Sikh sentiments," he said.
Kovind is currently on an official tour to Chile.
The performance was part of a welcome programme of a event the Indian Diaspora organised for the President.
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said about 60 pieces had been tracked so far of which 24 were going above the apogee of the ISS.
While no formal announcement has been made about Navjot Kaur, there is a buzz that she might be allotted the coveted Amritsar seat, from where Chief Minister Amarinder Singh had beaten BJP's Arun Jaitley in the 2014 national elections.
Priyanka Gandhi might be making headlines for her campaign dress code, but theres plenty of mileage coming of it, and not just for her.
Narendra Modi continues to be the popular choice to be the next Prime Minister across a wide section of society, but the gap between him and Rahul Gandhi is thinnest among housewives.

Bariatric surgery complications before vs after implementation of a national policy restricting coverage to centers of excellence

Importance: Starting in 2006, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has restricted coverage of bariatric surgery to hospitals designated as centers of excellence (COE) by 2 major professional organizations. Objective: To evaluate whether the implementation of the COE component of the national coverage decision was associated with improved bariatric surgery outcomes in Medicare patients. Design, Setting, and Patients: Retrospective, longitudinal study using 2004-2009 hospital discharge data from 12 states (n=321 464 patients) of changes in outcomes in Medicare patients undergoing bariatric surgery (n=6723 before and n=15 854 after implementation of the policy). A difference-in-differences analytic approach was used to evaluate whether the national coverage decision was associated with improved outcomes in Medicare patients above and beyond existing time trends in non-Medicare patients (n=95 558 before and n=155 117 after implementation of the policy). Main Outcome Measures: Risk-adjusted rates of any complication, serious complications, and reoperation. Results: Bariatric surgery outcomes improved during the study period in both Medicare and non-Medicare patients; however, this change was already under way prior to the CMS coverage decision. After accounting for patient factors, changes in procedure type, and preexisting time trends toward improved outcomes, there were no statistically significant improvements in outcomes after (vs before) implementation of the CMS national coverage decision for any complication (8.0% after vs 7.0% before; relative risk [RR], 1.14 [95% CI, 0.95-1.33]), serious complications (3.3% vs 3.6%, respectively; RR, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.62-1.22]), and reoperation (1.0% vs 1.1%; RR, 0.90 [95% CI, 0.64-1.17]). In a direct assessment comparing outcomes at hospitals designated as COEs (n=179) vs hospitals without the COE designation (n=519), no significant differences were found for any complication (5.5% vs 6.0%, respectively; RR, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.90-1.06]), serious complications (2.2% vs 2.5%; RR, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.84-1.00]), and reoperation (0.83% vs 0.96%; RR, 1.00 [95% CI, 0.86-1.17]). Conclusions and Relevance: Among Medicare patients undergoing bariatric surgery, there was no significant difference in the rates of complications and reoperation before vs after the CMS policy of restricting coverage to COEs. Combined with prior studies showing no association of COE designation and outcomes, these results suggest that Medicare should reconsider this policy.

In a post-apocalyptic world, the last remaining human settlement in Japan is the heavily fortified city of Tokyo-3. Fourteen-year-old Shinji Ikari is brought to the headquarters of Nerv, an underground organization lead by his estranged father, Gendou. He requests that Shinji become a pilot of an "Evangelion," a colossal android built to fight against monstrous and destructive alien creatures known as "Angels" that wreak havoc on the planet and threaten the survival of the remaining human race. Although initially reluctant, Shinji is swayed by the idea of reconciling with his father, and agrees to aid in mankind's perilous endeavor against its alien threat, as the pilot of Evangelion Unit-01. Thrust into the midst of a dangerous battlefield, Shinji must find the necessary courage and resolve to face against the Angels' incursions before it is too late. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Seeing as how I am a fanboy of the original series of Neon Genesis Evangelion, you will have to take everything I say with a grain of salt. That said, it is pretty much inevitable that everyone watching this is already a fan of Evangelion anyway. So let's begin by making this clear: This is not Evangelion. It may look like Evangelion, it may claim to be Evangelion, but it isn't.
The movie covers episodes 1 through 6, beginning in much the same way as the series did, and ending with the 5th Angel's attack. We see much of the scenes faithfully recreated, up until Misato comes to pick up Shinji, and they begin talking as fast as they possibly can. The dialogue moves by ridiculously fast, in an incredibly thinly-veiled attempt to cram as much of the series as they can into the space of a single movie, with horrible results. Their sacrifice of quality for the sake of quantity thoroughly destroys the pacing, which, upon retrospect, was a big part of what made Evangelion what it was. There were a lot of long, atmospheric shots that helped to build the tone of the series, and here, they're gone.
In fact, even the overall style feels different. It seems to opt for darker, richer colours than the original, which honestly doesn't suit the style of the original series at all. It could be argued that animation has since moved on from the original series, but then, look at End of Evangelion. That was fantastically animated, and kept with the style of the series perfectly.
Another thing it seems to have lost track of is the soundtrack. Another interesting part of how the original series was directed was how rarely they used background music, often opting for silence punctuated only by the cicadas. Here? Pretty much every scene has a musical score behind it. This is how normal shows function, not how Evangelion is supposed to function. And even then, some of it actually seems like something Gainax would have used in Gurren Lagann, as opposed to Eva. Even with their choice to use more music taken into account, it still feels like they could have done a better job, although this is a comparatively minor nitpick.
Another major point is that the dub is very badly done. Aside from the fact that all the acting is forcibly quite bad (although this is less the actors fault and more the fact that they have to talk very fast to keep up), one particularly noticeable thing is that most of the original cast has been replaced, mostly by much less fitting voice actors. Whilst some changes are welcome, for example Touji sounding considerably better than he ever did in the main series, most are very distracting. And even the ones who stayed don't sound remotely similar to how they did 14 years ago. The most noticeable example is Spike Spencer's performance as Shinji. For the first half of the movie, I was thoroughly convinced that they had replaced Shinji's voice actor. With a female one, no less. Shockingly, Spike is still in the role, but sounds absolutely nothing like he should. How this could happen is an absolute mystery, considering he's been playing nothing but Shinji and Shinji knockoffs for the last 14 years, but somehow he botched his performance quite badly.
Now, I know that a fairly basic argument against this is that it isn't trying to be like the original series. This is somewhat thwarted by the facts that A: Pretty much everyone who watches this will be judging it by the standards of the series, and B: It doesn't stand up very well on its own either. The pacing and dialogue have ruined any chance this had of being a replacement Evangelion in its own right, as well as the plot and directing being skimmed over. Considering the series always had a habit of throwing you in without knowing what the fuck was going on, imagine how that works when everything is thrown at you at a mile per minute. Hint: NOT VERY WELL. I can't imagine a newbie to the franchise would have the slightest clue what the fuck was going on.
All in all, I was somewhat worried that Hideaki Anno might have lost it, what with being sane now. And to my surprise, I was right. This has completely failed. It doesn't capture anything that made Evangelion a loveable series, and while it does clear out some of the faults it had, it doesn't balance things out nearly well enough. The only redeeming features are a handful of new scenes, all of which are quite good, and strangely more in the vein of the show than anything else in the movie, most notably the final scene that raises an enormous amount of questions about Kaworu, and promises that the single greatest reason to watch this movie is the promise that the next one will do things very differently.
I'm assuming that you've already watched the original EVA series before watching the movie before reading this. If not, spoilers abound. So yes, this is basically a retelling of the original Evangelion in movie mode, and it's the first of 4 movies. This first movie covers the first six episodes of the original series, therefore not exactly innovative or anything shockingly interesting about the story. However, they did remove most of Shinji's self-pitying/emo-ing/bitching moments, so it's definitely one improvement from the original series. The art is simply fabulous. The original series already had excellent artwork for its generation, and they've managed to improve it. Introduction of CG was definitely a great move, and it made scenes even better, especially the fighting parts. They completely redid the scene with the Angel Ramiel, replacing traditional hand-drawn Ramiel with CG designs. Needless to say, that scene turned into absolute eye-candy. Other uses and integration of CG were more subtle, such as introducing it into the graphs, computer charts, and background. The human character designs were sharpened a bit from the original, but otherwise remained unchanged. But it was integration of CG into this remake which really stole the light. The sound remained mostly the same, but they did add new sound effects, most notably to the EVAs and Angels, and an excellent new ending song. Characters remained virtually the same, except they cut out a lot of Shinji's bitching/whining, so definitely a good move. Made the movie a lot more enjoyable, as we only seen about 5 minutes of whining, opposed to the half episodes of manbitching in the original series. Seeing this movie was definitely fun to watch, because they basically took the original series, and remade with better graphics, with a few minor changes, so that it's enjoyable to watch without feeling it's the same as the original series, yet not different enough that it strays away from its original roots. This definitely will bring back nostalgic feelings from older fans whilst giving something new for them to watch and admire. This movie is actually a good enough retelling that a newcomer to EVA can watch this instead of the original series, and will be able to know nearly everything that happened. (Of course, it's not really recommended, seeing how it's the original that was so profound and revolutionary.) After seeing this, I have high hopes for the following three movies, although I am a bit doubtful about the last one.

Last night, I played the last concert of the season of a new little orchestra located in rural Georgia. The orchestra performs in a restored turn of the century opera house. The drive from Macon takes about an hour and takes you past a giant peach shaped water tower and lots of pecan groves. The pay is not spectacular, but there is a symphony supporter who cooks us a big meal before the concert and overnight housing is provided for musicians who need it. Sure, there are musical things to improve. The meat of the program was the Eroica; we needed a few more string players, and it was pretty hot on stage, so I felt woozy by the time we finished. What was most refreshing was to perform for a diverse multi-generational audience that was truly appreciative of the opportunity to hear symphonic music in their community.
How wonderful, Patricia. We need more people doing things like that. Thanks for doing it and for telling us about it.

Calls for clearer signage after ANOTHER car gets stuck on guided busway
The incident took place at approximately 7am this morning and saw another car drive onto the tracks of the busway
Tara Cox
Residents are calling for clearer signage on the guided busway after another car drove onto the tracks near Cambridge Train Station this morning (Monday, January 9).
The incident took place at approximately 7am when the vehicle drove onto the tracks.
Cambridge resident Bill Thompson tweeted a photo of the location where the car came to a halt.
Later, he told the News that the car had gone from the tracks and 'must have managed to reverse out'.
He then tweeted: "Just look at how prominent and obvious the warning sign is.... impossible to miss, surely?"
Andy Field also wrote on Twitter that Cambridgeshire County Council "needs to work on their busway signage".
The County Council told the News this morning that there are a large number of signs which are 'very clear'.
Council claim guided busway rules are 'very clear' after another driver gets stuck on tracks
Cambridgeshire County Council, which runs the public transport system, has put up signs warning drivers not to enter the busway – and for motorists who ignore the signs, special pits have been dug into the concrete close to each junction, to trap a car's front wheels.
Last month, a spokesman for the county council said cases of cars breaking the rules were still rare.
Why do cars keep driving on to the guided busway?
He said: "Signage is very clear on the busway and drivers would have to ignore a series of warnings and in most cases red traffic lights for them to enter the busway.
"As with all driving, motorists should stick to the rules of the road and use common sense. Some incidents have been caused by drivers following their satnavs rather than looking at the signs and road layout in front of them.
"Thousands of vehicles successfully cross the busway every day."
The latest incident follows another story where a car which got stuck on the tracks in December – and police arrested someone on suspicion of drink driving.
Earlier the same month, the guided busway between Cambridge and St Ives was closed after a car overturned on the tracks.
Stagecoach, who operate buses on the guided busway, has been contacted for comment.
