STAMFORD-A city man who has spent the past five years in jail facing a murder charge for shooting and killing a West Side man, was sentenced Thursday to seven more years in prison after earlier pleading guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter. At the end of September, only weeks away from picking a jury for trial, Catchings agreed to a plea bargain to reduce the murder charge to manslaughter and accept the prison sentence. Seeger said that the plea agreement struck was a proper assessment of the strengths and weaknesses on both sides, taking into account how it would all play out in front of a jury.

As South Florida’s seniors grows older, experts warn of the ‘silver tsunami’ financial crisis
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Monday - 11/18/2024 - 02:00 AM
Aging experts unveiled a grim outlook for aging seniors who increasingly are impoverished and dependent on government help to get by.
