7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, MAY 9, 2017 WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press Obama starts defining his new role in the age of Trump A ‘war of regime choices’: S. Koreans vote for new president SEOUL, South Korea — South Koreans voted today in a presidential election a conservative candidate declared a “war of regime choices” in stark contrast to the liberal front-runner look- ing to overturn a decade of right-leaning rule. The vote was the culmination of a frenzied two-month race set up by the scandal that ousted Park-Geun-hye, now jailed while awaiting trial on corruption charges. Conservatives worry that a victory by the liberal, Moon Jae-in, might benefit North Korea and estrange South Korea and its most important ally, the United States. Moon was the clear favorite as conservative forces worked to regroup Park’s devas- tating scandal. “I gave all my body and soul (to the election) to the very end,” Moon, 64, told reporters after casting his ballot. The final opinion surveys released last week showed Moon, the Democratic Party candidate, had about a 20 percentage-point lead over his two main rivals — a centrist and a conservative. Judge agrees to toss Aaron Hernandez’s murder conviction FALL RIVER, Mass. — Former NFL star Aaron Hernandez’s conviction in a 2013 murder can be erased because he died before his appeal was heard, a judge ruled today. Judge E. Susan Garsh said case law in Massachusetts has long established that defendants who have not had the merits of their appeals decided before they die have the right to have their con- victions vacated. She said she was compelled to follow it. The former New England Patriots tight end hanged himself in his cell in a maximum-security prison last month while serving a life sentence on a first-degree murder conviction in the death of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd. He died five days after being acquitted in a separate double slaying in 2012. Lawyers for Hernandez had argued that the state’s highest court had applied the legal doctrine “without exception,” even in cases of suicide. They said his conviction wasn’t considered final because the automatic appeal he was entitled to had not been heard at the time of his death. Prosecutor Patrick Bomberg had argued that Hernandez “should not be able to accomplish in death what he could not accomplish in life.” But Garsh rejected the argument that Hernandez had forfeited his right to appeal by taking his own life, saying no one can ever know for sure why Hernandez killed himself. Hernandez’s appellate attorney, John Thompson, told report- ers after the hearing that he believes it’s still uncertain as to whether Hernandez took his own life. Washington passes bill to make school quake drills optional SEATTLE — Only one seismic-safety bill has passed in Washington state government, and it will make earthquake drills optional in schools. The Seattle Times reported Sunday that Gov. Jay Inslee has signed the bill. Reports say the move comes after state leaders discussed earthquake preparedness. The original version of the bill included mandatory annual tsunami evacuation drills for coastal schools and annual earth- quake drills for all school. Its final draft made earthquake drills optional. Other related bills that died in the legislature sought to require seismic evaluations of school buildings and orders for transit sys- tems to develop plans to restore services after quakes. According to the report, lawmakers do little to address earth- quake risks in Washington, which are ranked second to California. US seeks evidence of Haitian crimes as it weighs their stay WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is taking the unusual step of hunting for evidence of crimes committed by Haitian immigrants as it decides whether to allow them to con- tinue participating in a humanitarian program that has shielded tens of thousands from deportation since an earthquake destroyed much of their country. The inquiries into the community’s criminal history were made in internal U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services emails obtained by The Associated Press. They show the agen- cy’s newly appointed policy chief also wanted to know how many of the roughly 50,000 Haitians enrolled in the Temporary Protected Status program were taking advantage of public bene- fits, which they are not eligible to receive.

The program is intended to help people from places beset by war or disasters and, normally, the decision to extend it depends on whether conditions in the immigrants’ home country have improved enough for them to return. But emails suggest Home- land Security Secretary John Kelly, who will make the decision, is looking at other criteria. “I do want to alert you ... the secretary is going to be sending a request to us to be more responsive,” Kathy Nuebel Kovarik, the USCIS head of policy and strategy, wrote on April 27. Address- ing the inability of agency employees to gather the requested information about wrongdoing, she said: “I know some of it is not captured, but we’ll have to figure out a way to squeeze more data out of our systems.” The request for criminal data for an entire community is unorthodox. The law doesn’t specify it should be a consideration for Temporary Protected Status and the government has never said it would use criminal rates in deciding if a country’s citizens should be allowed to stay under this program. Introducing new criteria is likely to cause consternation among law-abiding Hai- tians who may feel they are being penalized for the wrongdoing of their compatriots. AP Exclusive: Big child webcam sex bust reveals rising abuse MABALACAT, Philippines — The suspected pedophile could see people banging on his front door through his security cameras. Were they neighbors? Cops? One had letters on her jacket. As David Timothy Deakin goo- gled “What is NBI?” from the laptop on his bed, the Philippines National Bureau of Investigation smashed their way into his cybersex den. Children’s underwear, toddler shoes, cameras, bondage cuffs, fetish ropes, meth pipes and stacks of hard drives and photo albums cluttered the stuffy, two-bedroom townhouse. Penciled on the wall, someone had scrawled “My Mom and Dad love me” and a broken heart. In his computer were videos and images of young boys and girls engaged in sex acts. “Why is everyone asking about children coming into my house?” said Deakin, 53, his wrists bound with a zip tie. Deakin’s arrest on April 20 reveals one of the darkest corners of the internet, where pedophiles in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia pay facilitators on the other side of the world to sexu- ally abuse children, even babies, directing their moves through online livestreaming services. Spain: Migrants charge border fence; six injured MADRID — Spanish officials say that about 300 migrants have tried to scramble across the six-meter border fence sepa- rating the north African enclave city Melilla from Morocco with many throwing stones and other objects at police. Melilla’s Interior Ministry office say most of the migrants have been pushed back by Spanish and Moroccan police, but about 100 managed to enter the city. It said three officers and three migrants were treated for inju- ries following today’s incident. One officer was injured in the hand by one of the hooks used by migrants to climb the fence. Thousands of migrants from sub-Saharan countries try to enter Spain via its two north African enclave cities each year. Those who make it across head for temporary migrant accom- modation centers. They are eventually repatriated or let go. WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama is start- ing to define his new role in the age of Donald Trump. After dropping out of sight for a pair of glamorous island getaways, Obama is emerging for a series of paid and unpaid speeches, drawing sharp contrasts with Trump even as he avoids saying the new president’s name. He’s wielding his influence overseas, offering his support for some of the international polit- ical candidates who are clamoring for his endorsement. His aides are engaging in real-time political combat with Trump, includ- ing revealing Monday that Obama personally warned his succes- sor against tapping embattled Michael Flynn as his national secu- rity adviser. Obama’s swift return to the spotlight has been cheered by some Democrats, who are still sifting through the wreckage of the party’s crushing defeats in the November election. But the attention surrounding Obama has also magnified the vacuum for new Democratic leadership, a reality that aides say is not lost on the former president. “He’s acutely aware that when the former president speaks, he consumes a lot of the oxygen,” said Eric Schultz, Obama’s senior adviser. “He wants to make sure we make room for the next gen- eration of leaders.” With that in mind, Obama is picking his spots carefully. France’s new leader untested on foreign policy, but no dummy PARIS — Elected on a reform agenda for France, Presi- dent-elect Emmanuel Macron will quickly discover that foreign policy — an area not yet in his comfort zone — will eat up buck- ets of his time. On Europe, Macron has been crystal clear and vocal: keep- ing France at the center of the European Union was the dominant theme of his campaign. On global crises beyond Europe, such as North Korea, France’s youngest ever president has kept his cards closer to his chest. That is partly because, in previous jobs as an investment banker and from 2014-16 as France’s economy minister, foreign policy wasn’t among Macron’s areas of expertise. His careful, measured forays into foreign affairs during the campaign signaled that Macron is aware of his own limitations and is allowing him- self time to bone up on the issues before crafting his diplomacy. “You have politicians who know that they don’t know and want to learn. And you have those who don’t know that they don’t know and who shoot off their mouths. He belongs, quite clearly, to the first category,” says Francois Heisbourg, a leading French expert on foreign affairs, defense and terrorism who has been advising Macron and his campaign team. Macron has given some broad outlines but, on more than one occasion, has been wishy washy. For over a year, serial killing suspect went undiscovered PHOENIX — For more than a year, Phoenix police were stumped by a string of killings in which a shooter stalked vic- tims after dark and gunned them down as they stood outside their homes or sat in their cars. Nine people were killed in all in a case dubbed the Serial Street Shooter. Police fielded thousands of tips, went door-to-door in a largely Hispanic neighborhood of Phoenix where the shootings happened and analyzed ballistics from a different, unrelated serial shooting case. On Monday, they announced they had arrested a former city bus driver in the killings while providing scant detail about what motivated him or details about how they made a break in the case, other than to credit tips. Aaron Juan Saucedo, 23, faces 26 felony counts of homicide, aggravated assault and drive-by-shooting for 12 shootings that took place between August 2015 and July 2016, Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said. The investigation into the serial killings had focused on what authorities said were seven fatal shootings. But police on Mon- day said they had tied Saucedo to nine killings in all — eight ran- dom victims and one man that he knew. Saucedo was a bus driver for the city of Phoenix through a temp agency for several months in July through August 2015, Phoenix police said. Records show Saucedo was pulled over for allegedly running a red light on Oct. 27, 2015, just a month after the first killing.
