Cosmo didntard oh and sean prats denied the killings in july. Pratz is accused in three of the killings. The disappearances of four victims touched off a manhunt. According to prosecutors, dinardo initially confessed that he agreed to sell drugs to the victims, lured them to the farm, and killed them. After the arrest, dinardo agreed to tell prosecutors where the first victim was buried in exchange for a lifesaving promise. Were the District Attorneys office, we honor our agreements. Should mr. Dinardo agree to uphold his end of the bargain, we shall not seek the Death Penalty against him. The District Attorney says right now dinardo is cooperating. He also says if other crimes are discovered or if dinardo takes the case to trial, the deal is off. As for sean pratz, either of the lawyers are talking about deals with him. Remembering some of the youngest victims of gun violence. Yesterday marked five years to the day that 26 people, 20 of them students, were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in connecticut. Opponents of gun violence held a candlelight vigil inri rittenhoe square spoke to the mass shooting that took the lives of children and teachers in newtown and noted that philadelphias struggle with homicides in the city at a fiveyear high. Mothers like cheryl pedro came out to offer support. Pedros son died in a shooting. His killer still has not been found. Not only am i my sons voice, im the voice of mothers who lost their children to violence. Seeing these Mass Shootings happen again and again is horrifying. Yesterday on capitol hill, connecticut senator Richard Blumenthal reflected on how little has changed in five years saying the rate of gun violence is off the charts.

Some Corner Stores may have to take down the key item they believe keeps them safe. A new law gives city inspectors the authority to determine if the barriers like bulletproof glass will stay or go. Its part of a broader bill that targets socalled stop and gos. The businesses obtain restaurant licenses for the main purpose of serving alcohol. However, unlike traditional restaurants, they often do not have prepared food or required seating. They arent delis, theyre places to buy products to get high. Theyre the modernday pusher. Store owners fear removing plexiglass among registers puts their lives and employees at risk. The passage of the law does not mean barriers have to come down right away, although it does give inspectors three years to determine how those barriers will be handled. Today is the final day of open enrollment for obamacare. This is under the Affordable Care act. As of now, the number of people who have signed up for Health Insurance coverage is four million times higher than this time last year. Despite the increase, the future of the Affordable Care act is uncertain. Republicans in congress are once again pushing to scrap the law altogether. Their new tax bill includes a provision that would get rid of the individual mandate to buy Health Insurance. Experts say if that happens, 13 Million People would choose to do without coverage, hiking costs for those who still have obamacare. This is the story getting a lot of national attention.
