The DePaulia
Mireille Kotoklo’s search to hire a new employee within her department at DePaul’s John Richardson Library ultimately led to the termination of her own employment, a lawsuit filed against the university claims.
When Kotoklo, who is Black, recommended a former DePaul employee from Ethiopia for the job she set forth to fill, the university fired her, citing her alleged failure to disclose that the employee she recommended had once been flagged for poor performance under her direction and that he listed her as a reference; she had “lost the trust” of the staff she supervised, her supervisor, Robert Karpinski, alleged.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. A woman accused of killing her 14-year-old daughter with a gunshot to the head was in court Friday morning asking to be released from jail on bond.
Amanda Guthrie, 34, was arrested Jan. 19 following what her lawyer calls an accidental shooting. Guthrie bonded out of jail while her daughter, Ayva, was hospitalized in critical condition, but was rearrested when the girl died.
According to police, Guthrie’s daughter followed her mother into her bedroom and picked up the family’s 9mm handgun from atop a piece of furniture “and began to play with it.” Guthrie asked for the gun back, and when she did, the gun went off, shooting the girl in the face.
