an inside job carried out by an extended family member. That because a

Nearly 300 bishops are drafting new rules to prevent those assaults and
account for those who cover it up. The main task is to produce a policy

A Martinsville Police Officer will not be criminally charged for hitting a child on a bicycle with his patrol car.
It happened on May 30th, when Officer Robert Haynes decided to check on a fellow officer who had responded to a domestic abuse call.
The boy suffered a concussion and some bruises.
Police say an independent investigation by state police trained in accident reconstruction determined the officer was not speeding.
The results of the investigation were handed over to Franklin County Commonwealth Attorney Cliff Hapgood. He opted not to charge Officer Haynes.
