White House threatens veto of House farm bill

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ Jun 15, 2013

— The White House is threatening to veto the House version of a massive, five-year farm bill, saying food stamp cuts included in the legislation could leave some Americans hungry.

The House is preparing to consider the bill this week. The legislation would cut $2 billion annually, or around 3 percent, from food stamps and make it harder for some people to qualify for the program. Food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, cost almost $80 billion last year, twice the amount it cost five years ago.

The Senate passed its version of the farm bill last week with only a fifth of the amount of those cuts, or about $400 million a year, with the support of the administration.

Epstein Becker plans to close 14-attorney office in Atlanta

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ Jun 09, 2013

Less than five years ago, Epstein Becker Green was adding to the attorney roster in its “fast-growing” Atlanta office, proudly proclaiming in a 2009 press release that it had brought in six lawyers from Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell.

But now a firm leader says Epstein Becker is planning to close the 14-attorney Atlanta office by the end of the year, calling it a money-losing operation over the last several years, Reuters reports.

Vice chairman Mark Lutes said the 258-attorney firm, which is known for its health care and labor and employment practice groups, had intended to expand its Atlanta real estate practice.

3 Dead in Shooting Spree, Fire in Santa Monica

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ Jun 07, 2013

Three people are dead in Santa Monica after a chain of events that police are still sorting out. Two of the dead were found in a burned home near the campus of Santa Monica College, and the third fatality was apparently shot on the campus itself. Two other people also were shot. Police and witnesses said the chaos began shortly before noon when a man dressed in black opened fire on a house in this normally idyllic coastal community, then fired on a car and wounded the driver before taking off in another car. From there, the chaos moved a few blocks away to the college, where witnesses reported vehicles on a street corner being sprayed with gunfire. Authorities believe at least one shooter, and possibly two, fled from there onto the campus.

Jurors to begin deliberations in Caryn Kelley manslaughter trial

Posted by Jesse OLoghlen \\ May 28, 2013

An Orange County jury will begin deliberating Tuesday night in the case against Caryn Kelley, the College Park woman accused of fatally shooting her boyfriend.

Attorneys wrapped up their closing arguments late in the afternoon and the jury informed the judge shortly before 5 p.m. that they wanted to start deliberating in the evening, rather than wait until Wednesday morning to begin.

Prosecutors accuse Kelley of shooting her boyfriend Phillip Peatross in July 2011 when he returned home hours after a drunken argument.

But defense attorney Diana Tennis said Peatross took the gun from Kelley, and possibly in a play for attention, put the gun to his own head.

Kelley, 48, is facing a charge of manslaughter with a weapon.
