‘Grim Sleeper’ sent
to death row
LOS ANGELES — The serial
killer known as the “Grim Sleeper”
was sentenced to death Wednesday
for the murders of nine women and
a teenage girl that went unsolved for
years as the body count grew in a
poor section of Los Angeles haunted
by the scourge of crack cocaine.
The moment of reckoning for
Lonnie Franklin Jr. came after those
whose lives were altered by his vio-
lence questioned how he could have
been so cruel and shown so little
remorse.
“You are truly a piece of evil,”
said Enietra Washington, who man-
aged to survive after being shot and
testiied against him at trial. “You’re
right up there with Manson.”
The killings occurred over more
than two decades and community
members complained that police
didn’t seriously investigate them
because the victims were black and
poor and many were drug users and
prostitutes.
Franklin was linked at trial to 14
slayings, including four women he
wasn’t charged with killing. Police
have said he may have had as many
as 25 victims.
Trump accuses
Obama of being
‘founder of ISIS’
SUNRISE, Fla. — Donald Trump
accused President Barack Obama on
Wednesday of founding the Islamic
State group that is wreaking havoc
from the Middle East to European
cities.
A moment later, on another
topic, he referred to the president by
his full legal name: Barack Hussein
Obama.
“In many respects, you know, they
honor President Obama,” Trump said
during a raucous campaign rally out-
side Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “He is
the founder of ISIS.”
He repeated the allegation three
more times for emphasis. The Repub-
lican presidential nominee in the past
has accused his opponent, Democrat
Hillary Clinton, of founding the mil-
itant group.
As he shifted the blame to Obama
on Wednesday, he said “crooked Hil-
lary Clinton” was actually the group’s
co-founder. Trump has long blamed
Obama and his former secretary of
state — Clinton — for pursuing Mid-
east policies that created a power vac-
uum in Iraq that was exploited by IS,
another acronym for the group.
He’s sharply criticized Obama for
announcing he would pull U.S. troops
out of Iraq, a decision that many
Obama critics say created the kind of
instability in which extremist groups
like IS thrive.

Lonnie Franklin Jr., who has been dubbed the “Grim Sleeper” serial
killer, sits during a court hearing in Los Angeles. A jury found him
guilty and said he should be executed.
Arkansas deputy
dies in shooting
An Arkansas man who wanted
to cause a “ruckus” ahead of a court
hearing shot and killed a sheriff’s
deputy Wednesday, and wounded a
small-town police chief, before sur-
rendering to law enforcement oficers
who had surrounded his rural home, a
sheriff said.
Sebastian County Deputy Bill
Cooper was pronounced dead about
1:15 p.m. after being shot in the neck,
Sheriff Bill Hollenbeck said during a
news conference.
Hackett Police Chief Darrell
Spells suffered supericial wounds
after apparently being grazed by a
bullet.
Billy Monroe Jones, 34, had gone
to his father’s house earlier Wednes-
day to take some tools, Hollenbeck
said. According to the sheriff, Jones
pointed a gun at his father, who called
911. Cooper and Spells were among
oficers who found Jones with a rile
and body armor when they went to
his home east of Hackett, near the
Oklahoma border.
“Jones wanted to cause what was
told to us as a ‘ruckus’ and he was
due in court in Fort Smith regard-
ing a petition to revoke a suspended
sentence charge,” Hollenbeck told
reporters.
Court records show Jones has had
a drug conviction in state court along
with a handful of minor charges, such
as speeding and public intoxication,
in nearby Greenwood.
Scathing report
on cops vindicates
black residents
BALTIMORE — With startling
statistics, a federal investigation of
the Baltimore Police Department
documents in 164 single-spaced
pages what black residents have
been saying for years: They are rou-
tinely singled out, roughed up or oth-
erwise mistreated by oficers, often
for no reason.
The 15-month Justice Depart-
ment probe was prompted by the
death of Freddie Gray, the black man
whose fatal neck injury in the back
of a police van touched off the worst
riots in Baltimore in decades.
To many people, the blistering
report issued Wednesday was famil-
iar reading. Danny Marrow, a retired
food service worker, said that over
the years, he has been stopped and
hassled repeatedly by police.
“It started when I was 8 years
old and they’d say, with no proba-
ble cause, ‘Hey, come here. Where
are you going?’” he said. “No cause,
just the color of my skin.” “Bullies in
the workplace,” he said. “They don’t
want you to get angry or challenge
their authority, so they’ll use force,
they’ll put the handcuffs on too tight.
And if you run, they’re going to beat
you up when they catch you.”
Police: Woman
killed by Florida
oicer in exercise
PUNTA GORDA, Fla. — A
police “shoot/don’t shoot” demon-
stration in Florida went shockingly
awry when an oficer shot and killed
a 73-year-old former librarian with
what police said was real ammu-
nition used by mistake at an event
designed to bring police and the pub-
lic together.
Authorities didn’t immediately
say how a gun with a live round
came to be used at Tuesday eve-
ning’s demonstration, noting blank
rounds are typically used in such
classes.
The oficer has been placed on
administrative leave, and the Florida

Steve Knowlton talks about his mother Mary Knowlton, shown in fam-
ily photos, during an interview Wednesday, in Punta Gorda, Fla. Police
say an officer accidentally shot Mary to death during a citizen’s acad-
emy “shoot/don’t shoot” exercise Tuesday evening.
Department of Law Enforcement is
investigating.
“We were unaware that any live
ammunition was available to the
oficer,” Punta Gorda Police Chief
Tom Lewis said at a news con-
ference Wednesday. “The oficer
involved is grief stricken. We’ve got
oficers assigned to him to make sure
he’s psychologically stable.”
Mary Knowlton, a well-known
community volunteer, was shot after
being randomly selected to take part
in the role-playing scenario illus-
trating the split-second decisions
an oficer must make about iring. It
was part of a popular citizens acad-
emy attended by 35 people, includ-
ing her 75-year-old husband, and the
police chief.
Her son, Steve Knowlton, said his
father was “devastated.”
Report will fuel
debate over
closing Gitmo
WASHINGTON — A new report
on Guantanamo detainees tells the
stories of former al-Qaida bomb
makers and bodyguards as well as
low-level militant cooks and med-

ics who have been transferred or
cleared for release — despite fears
they are at risk of returning to battle.
Many of the detainees have
been held without charge for more
than 14 years at the military prison
President Barack Obama wants to
close.
The Pentagon gave the unclas-
sified report to Sen. Kelly Ayotte,
R-N.H., who has been pushing the
Obama administration for years to
be more transparent about who is
being transferred out of the prison
at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. She
shared it with The Associated Press
and posted it online Wednesday.
“By clearly detailing some
of the disturbing terrorist activi-
ties and afiliations of detainees at
Guantanamo, the report demon-
strates why these terrorists should
not be released — they pose a seri-
ous risk to our national security,”
Ayotte said in an email response to
questions. The remaining detainees
“will no doubt” return to the ight
once released, she said, noting that
the Defense Department told her
that 93 percent of the detainees still
at Guantanamo as of late last year
were high risk for re-engagement in
terrorism.
