An Ohio pastor sentenced to life in prison last year for grooming a teenage girl to have sex with him and two other pastors is seeking compassionate release from prison by claiming his life is threatened by the coronavirus.
Pastor Anthony Haynes, the 41-year-old former leader of the Greater Life Christian Center in Toledo, who had insisted that he didn’t deserve life in prison for grooming his victim beginning when she was 14, filed two handwritten motions in U.S. District Court seeking compassionate release during the coronavirus pandemic, the Toledo Blade reported. One motion was filed on Oct. 30 and another was filed earlier this month, the publication reported.
Federal judge again rules against Tennessee in abortion case

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A federal judge who earlier this year struck down Tennessee’s 48-hour waiting period for abortions as unconstitutional has ruled against the state again. U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman refused on Monday to put his earlier order on hold while the state appeals to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Freidman ruled in October that Tennessee’s waiting period law serves no legitimate purpose while placing a substantial burden on women who seek abortions in Tennessee. The 2015 law required women to make two trips to an abortion clinic, first for mandatory counseling and then for the abortion at least 48 hours later.

DETROIT (CN) The federal government and the United Auto Workers said Monday they have reached a settlement to reform the powerful union after corruption infected the very top of the historic organization, resulting in 15 criminal convictions.
“Today we are joining together to announce that the UAW, one of the largest and most prestigious unions in the world, now has a pathway to be free of corruption,” Eastern Michigan U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider said at the start of a press conference in Detroit.
