Aussie pair hot on Ko’s heels at LPGA’s ‘Major of Asia’ Aussie pair hot on Ko’s heels at LPGA’s ‘Major of Asia’ Australians Minjee Lee and Hannah Green are within striking distance of leader Lydia Ko going into the final round of the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore. Lee is four shots off the pace in a tie for fourth after shooting a third-round four-under 68 on Saturday to be six under for the tournament. Defending champion Green had a 67 to move 16 places up the leaderboard and five behind the leader. World No.6 Green returned to women’s golf’s so-called “Major of Asia” with fond memories and plenty of confidence. She notched birdies on the last three holes last year to snatch victory from Celine Boutier and become only the fifth *********** to win five times on the LPGA Tour. Ko shot a 68 on Saturday to move from one stroke behind overnight to one stroke in front. The 27-year-old New Zealander had a 54-hole total of 10-under 206 on the Tanjong course at Sentosa Golf Club. England’s Charley Hull, who birdied two of her first four holes, was a stroke behind in second after a 68. Jeeno Thitikul had the best round of the day, a 66, to move into third place, three strokes behind Ko. A Lim Kim, who led after the first two rounds, moved in the wrong direction with a 73 and was tied for fourth place with Lee and Thailand’s Pajaree Anannarukarn (70). Steph Kyriacou (70) was the next-best ***********, tied 51st at seven over, with Grace Kim (72) and Gabriela Ruffels (76) a further four shots back. The Singapore field features nine of the top 10 players in the world ranking – and 13 of the top 15 – minus only top-ranked Nelly Korda and Rose Zhang. The Singapore tournament is the second of three events on the LPGA’s first Asian swing of the year. The final event will be played next week at Hainan Island, China.

A former JPMorgan employee has accused the bank of obscuring the true size of its trading business to evade capital requirements A former JPMorgan employee has accused the bank of obscuring the true size of its trading business to evade capital requirements The world’s most important central banks helped develop common standards to regulate JPMorgan Chase and other financial institutions critical to the health of the global economy. However, if the Fed is allowing U.S. banks to flout some of those norms, experts told Fortune, other countries have little incentive not to let their big lenders do the same. It turns out JPMorgan might not want to boast about the size of its book. In fact, a whistleblower has alleged the world’s largest bank, along with several of its peers, has deliberately underreported the scale of its trading activity to minimize capital requirements the industry has long argued are onerous. JPMorgan, for its part, has called allegations it is evading capital requirements completely “false.” The requirements at issue are aimed at ensuring banks can survive if they sustain heavy losses, and they were tightened in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Regulators from around the world developed what is known as Basel III, or common standards to safeguard the health of so-called “globally systemic banks”—many of which required controversial government bailouts to avoid economic catastrophe. But if the Federal Reserve is allowing JPMorgan and other competitors to defy some of those norms, experts in corporate finance and administrative law told Fortune, other countries have little incentive not to let their banks follow suit. “It kind of diminishes the meaning of the rules and the extent to which people are going to take them seriously going forward,” said Itay Goldstein, who chairs the finance department at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism broke the allegations in January, citing a former JPMorgan employee who said the bank was improperly reporting its long and short positions in certain securities, obscuring the true size of its trading business. The publication also quoted another banker familiar with the matter, who said the Federal Reserve has given tacit approval for other U.S. banks to do the same. JPMorgan, meanwhile, has been adamant that it is following the law and referred Fortune to its previous statements on the matter. “We are confident in our methodology, which is fully transparent to our regulators,” the bank said. “We comply with all capital regulations, and claims suggesting otherwise are false.” The Federal Reserve, meanwhile, declined to comment. The central bank previously told the Bureau that American lenders are subject to higher capital requirements than their international counterparts but did not directly address the allegations. Story Continues The Fed treats its supervisory relationship with banks as confidential, said David Zaring, a professor of legal studies and business ethics at Wharton, to avoid exposing lenders’ sensitive information to competitors and trading counterparties. “Totally makes sense to me,” he added, “but it means that you often aren’t really sure what they’re looking at when they tell you, ‘We’re comfortable with this bank’s derivative book of business and how [the bank is] accounting for it.’” Netting refers to the process of consolidating and offsetting multiple financial obligations to reduce overall risk. Rules around netting are relevant because the size of a bank’s balance sheet and the risk profile of the investments it contains helps regulators determine how much of a lender’s assets should be financed by equity that can sustain losses. “Once the equity is wiped out, there’s nothing to absorb the loss,” Goldstein said. What’s left, he added, “is going to fall on the debt holders or the government.” That’s why several banks are deemed “too big to fail,” a term that gained in popularity after the U.S. government spent $700 billion to save Wall Street banks and other financial institutions critical to the nation’s economy. All of America’s largest banks are subject to a minimum 4.5% capital requirement, with additional buffers mandated based on the Fed’s stress tests of bank balance sheets. Then, finally, there’s a capital surcharge for banks deemed to be “globally systemic,” termed G-SIBs. JPMorgan sits alone atop the list, subject to an additional 50 basis point requirement compared to its closest peers, Citigroup and HSBC. The Bureau’s reporting suggested the G-SIB surcharge would be higher, however, if the Fed enforced international standards to which the central bank previously agreed. As Goldstein explained, there is often a strong economic rationale to netting, or allowing long and short positions in the same security to offset each other. In a simplified example, if a long is equivalent to a short, they cancel each other out on the balance sheet. “It is as if you don’t hold anything,” Goldstein said. But there are several reasons why regulators might want to see the whole gross position, or the longs added to the shorts, Goldstein said. On one side of the trade, for instance, there might be a higher possibility that the other party could default on its obligations. That’s why the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision instructs G-SIB’s not to net longs and shorts for securities that, “if sold quickly during periods of severe market stress, are more likely to incur larger fire-***** discounts or haircuts to compensate for high market risk.” Each country’s central bank, however, is ultimately responsible for enacting this standard. Banks have been very successful at pushing back on the Fed’s efforts to fully implement Basel III. The Fed scrapped its initial proposal last year, which would have raised capital requirements by 19%, and vice chair of supervision Michael Barr later stepped down to let President Donald Trump make his own pick for the role. “The idea of entering into an international agreement in the current administration, even an informal one, is pretty unpopular,” Zaring said. In other words, cooperation among the Fed and foreign regulators may be undermined by several factors. Just add this issue about netting to the list.

England v Australia in Las Vegas: Amy Hardcastle previews Test England v Australia in Las Vegas: Amy Hardcastle previews Test Beating Australia would be a “game-changer” for women’s rugby league in England, centre Amy Hardcastle says. The Jillaroos are the dominant force in the international game, winning the past three World Cups and losing just once since 2016. That strength is also evident at club level, where the level of investment in the NRL Women’s Premiership (NRLW) allows for a mixture of full-time and semi-professional players – while their counterparts in England’s Women’s Super League play either for expenses or for free. It means Australia are strong favourites going into Saturday’s Test against England in Las Vegas. No English or British women’s side has beaten Australia since 2002 – a run of five defeats – but St Helens’ Hardcastle welcomes the challenge of toppling the world champions. “Beating them, to me, would be the absolute game-changer,” she says. “And I think across the world, and across our country, it would change people’s opinions. Think how powerful that can be for a women’s team. “It’d definitely change a lot moving forward, and I think a lot of doors would open for English women’s rugby league.” Hardcastle, 35, is one of three players in the England squad – along with captain Jodie Cunningham and their St Helens club-mate Shona Hoyle – who featured in their last meeting with Australia, a 38-0 defeat at the 2017 World Cup. Asked if she felt England had a better squad now than they did then, Hardcastle adds: “Yeah, absolutely. “Seventeen years I’ve been in this squad and when I first started, we didn’t really play many games. But now we’re more consistent. “The Super League’s getting better. And I find the pool of girls and women we get to choose from now are better because we’re not losing them to other sports, because our league’s getting better. “And with the opportunities there are with England, why wouldn’t you want to be part of it? “So I believe, especially going into the World Cup, we’ve got faster, stronger, fitter and cleverer in what we do. It’s not that I’ve never believed before, but I believe we’ve got one of the best England squads to face the Jillaroos.” Source link #England #Australia #Las #Vegas #Amy #Hardcastle #previews #Test Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Alex Pearce to miss pre-season clash but Fremantle name strong side to face Melbourne Alex Pearce to miss pre-season clash but Fremantle name strong side to face Melbourne The Purple Army will get their first look at Shai Bolton with Fremantle naming a near full-strength side for their pre-season clash against Melbourne but skipper Alex Pearce will miss again. Bolton’s first action since joining the Dockers was ironically to play against them in the Indigenous All Stars clash but will finally be alongside his teammates in purple against the Demons. He will be alongside Sam Switkowski who passed protocols after suffering a head knock in the marquee match in a welcome relief for both him and fans having struggled with a concussion last year. Dockers top draftee Murphy Reid will also get the chance to push for round one selection having been named on the extended bench along with Neil Erasmus and Nathan O’Driscoll who could all be fighting for the same spot. However two-time Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe will not take to the field after failing to overcome a knee concern having had minor surgery earlier in the year. It leaves the veteran racing the clock to be fit for round one with the Dockers taking a cautious approach with the 33-year-old and may opt against taking him on a lengthy road trip to Geelong on March 15. Alex Pearce will also miss the match as he continues to overcome an ankle ******* but told The West *********** he would be a lock for round one regardless of if he played earlier this week. “I’m a test for Sunday but the main goal is round one and that’s not in question at all,” he said. “It’s just making sure the body is as close to 100 per cent as it can get. It’s very rarely at 100 per cent in a season so it’d be nice to start at 100 and see how long we can hang onto that for.” Fellow defender Josh Draper was already ruled out of the match with a hamstring concern with Hugh Davies to help cover their loss alongside key defender Brennan Cox and Luke Ryan. With Sean Darcy still recovering from minor ankle surgery Liam Reidy has been named in the ruck and will face a tough battle against Melbourne skipper Max Gawn with Luke Jackson to start up forward and Pat Voss on the bench. The Dockers will be hopeful Reidy can hold his own having shown promising signs in his two games last year to allowing Jackson to remain a forward-ruck hybrid even without Darcy. In big news for Melbourne, Christian Petracca will return for his first match since the life-threatening injuries he suffered in the King’s Birthday match last Source link #Alex #Pearce #preseason #clash #Fremantle #strong #side #face #Melbourne Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Should you do more reps or lift heavier weights? A trainer weighs in Should you do more reps or lift heavier weights? A trainer weighs in For more strength-training workouts — plus walking podcasts, meal plans and inspiration — download the Start TODAY app! When it comes to strength training, popular fitness modalities take vastly different approaches. From low-impact options like Pilates and barre that focus on light weight or bodyweight-only moves, to athletic-style training that builds muscle through heavy lifting. While it’s great to have so many options, it can be a bit confusing. Influencers on social media with enviably muscular bodies post videos of them reaching new weight PRs, making slipping a few more plates on a barbell seem like the way to go. But watching sculpted physiques walk out of Pilates makes it clear that the low weight, high repetition approach is just as effective. The truth is, both methods can be an good way to build lean muscle. So let’s break down the benefit of lifting heavy weights for lower reps versus lifting light weights for higher reps — and how to decide which is the best way to strength train for your goals. What’s better: low weight, high reps or high weight, low reps? The isn’t ****** and white. Both approaches can be effective at burning ****, building muscle and toning the body. Lifting heavier weight for less repetitions builds muscle strength and causes muscles to fatigue faster. Moderate or lighter weights with more repetition develops muscle endurance. Depending on your goals, you may be interested in increasing muscle mass, or you may be hoping to preserve lean muscle mass, which is especially important as you get older. And if you want to lose weight, both heavy lifting and lighter lifting can help you burn ****. And let’s not forget that you don’t even need weights at all to build strength. Bodyweight exercises can be extremely effective for building muscle in both the upper and lower body. Pushups, pullups and tricep dips all challenge the upper body, while squats, lunges and calf raises are all exercises that build strength in the lower body sans weights. A 2024 study on women’s strength training confirmed previous research that primarily focused on men. Researchers found that the general advice from The American College of Sports Medicine did produce results: Performing 1 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions at 70 to 85 percent of your one-rep max weight helped beginners gain strength and muscle. How to strength train for your fitness goals When it comes to aesthetic goals, many women desire sleek, toned muscles. That look is usually achieved by doing more repetitions with lighter weights. I also always consider my client’s lifestyle when developing a training plan. Many people come to me stressed out or fatigued and unable to lose weight. When cortisol levels are high, the last thing their body needs is more stress on their body, which is why exerting yourself at maximum capacity with heavy weights can sometimes be counterproductive. In these cases, I shy away from lifting heavy and instead suggest exercising at a consistent and steady state with lower weights and higher repetitions. On the flip side, lifting heavy weights can increase muscle mass and strength. If you are someone who doesn’t feel stressed out by fitness and loves a challenge, heavier weights may be a good choice for you. Even if weight loss is your goal, if you aren’t battling chronic stress then exercising with heavier weights for less repetitions may be perfect for you at this stage in your fitness journey. I always advise my clients to try a workout program consistently for three weeks. If you don’t see results after 21 days, then it’s time to mix it up. So if you feel like lifting heavier weights with less repetitions is best for your body right now, give it a try! If you lift heavier weights, you’ll likely notice that your strength increases faster — which may be your goal! If you commit to the training style for a few weeks and aren’t seeing results, that’s a sign you may want to drop the weight and see if a lighter weight, higher rep approach is right for your body. How do I know when it is time to increase my weight or reps? We all want to feel like we’re making progress in our fitness routine. So if you’ve been committed to strength training, you may be wondering how to know when it is time to take things to the next level. And, does progress mean increasing weight, doing more reps or both? If you’re someone, like me, who bulks up easily — and doesn’t want to — then the answer is to stick to lower weights and progress your training by doing more reps or mixing up your exercises. I don’t lift weights heavier than 7 pounds because when I do, my shoulders, back and chest bulk up in a way that I don’t like. So, I prefer to stick to my 3- or 5-pound dumbbells. If I start to feel bored with my routine or like the workout is too easy, then I change the exercises entirely and challenge my body in a different way by using resistance bands or doing bodyweight moves. Instead of increasing the weight, I just change up the exercises altogether. If you prefer to track progression through weight or reps, try this: Start with 8 repetitions of 3-5 exercises using 3-pound weights. Perform three rounds of all of the exercises in the circuit. Then, after doing this every other day for 2-3 weeks, increase your repetitions to 10. Repeat for 2-3 weeks. Then increase the repetitions to 12, and finally up to 15. Once you’re performing 3 rounds of 15 reps for 2-3 weeks, increase the weight to 4- or 5-pound dumbbells, and then repeat the whole cycle. If this is too easy and you feel like the progress is too slow, then speed it up! But try to focus on your overall strength and muscle tone to gauge how effective your fitness routine is. It all comes down to how you want to look and feel in your body.

Kai Cenat Makes the Dumbest Comment in His Batsuit During Arkham Marathon Disrespecting the Biggest YouTuber Before MrBeast Kai Cenat Makes the Dumbest Comment in His Batsuit During Arkham Marathon Disrespecting the Biggest YouTuber Before MrBeast Twitch superstar Kai Cenat recently had another marathon, and this time it was the Batman Arkham trilogy. While we had fun with a lot of it, things took an unexpected turn when the Twitch star made a comment about YouTube legend Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg. Cenat outright called out fans of the Swedish YouTuber saying he didn’t know why people watched him. 2013-2019 with Pewds was the peak of YouTube. | Image Credit: @KaiCenatLive/YouTube As you’d expect, many fans are accusing Cenat of disrespecting one of YouTube’s biggest pioneers. Given the YouTube legend’s impact on gaming content and online culture, it really feels like an out-of-touch comment. Because if you look at it, it’s very likely that Pewds influenced most of the trends we see online today. Kai Cenat called out PewDiePie fans in his recent Batman Arkham marathon But does he realize the impact that Pewds had in the entire industry? | Image Credit: @pewdiepie/YouTube During his Arkham Origins playthrough, Kai expressed his confusion about PewDiePie’s success, stating, “This may be an L take, and I apologize in advance, but I couldn’t see how n**as got into PewDiePie, I’m sorry… I’ll be honest, that might be an L take though.” His guest, fellow streamer Lil Rodney son, agreed, saying he never followed the YouTuber either. Kai Cenat says he doesn’t understand how people got into watching PewDiePie pic.twitter.com/mWlnnleDOd — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) February 28, 2025 Reggie also pointed out that not every creator is meant for everyone, reminding Cenat that some viewers might feel the same way about him. Many fans were quick to call out Kai’s ignorance, reminding him that Pewds probably influenced him too. One fan commented, “without Pewdiepie there wouldn’t even be a Kai Cenat lmaooooo he pioneered gaming content before Pewds it was all beauty and lifestyle vlogs.” PewDiePie was the most-subscribed individual YouTuber from 2013 to 2019. And whether you like it or not, he was a big influence and shaped most of the content we see even today on the platform. One commenter even compared Cenat’s statement to not knowing Michael Jordan’s impact on basketball. Generation gap, piewdiepie paved the way for most of these guys without them even knowing. — Elán (@_elan_) February 28, 2025 But it’s clear that there is a generational divide in how different audiences perceive online content creators. It’s really no one’s fault but we shouldn’t be too quick to judge others without knowing at least some context to the full situation. Maybe, Cenat simply wasn’t part of the peak YouTube era. And that’s alright. Both Cenat and Pewds have been at the top of Twitch and YouTube And both of their achievements are legendary in their own right. | Image Credit: @kaicenat/Twitch PewDiePie’s rise to fame wasn’t just about gaming. His ability to engage audiences, adapt content trends, and push boundaries played a big role in YouTube’s evolution. He was the first individual creator to surpass 100 million subscribers and maintained his position as YouTube’s top creator for nearly a decade. Cenat’s streaming career has skyrocketed over the past few years and he is currently the biggest streamer on Twitch. His content style of marathon gaming sessions, celebrity interviews, and high-energy antics has been a hit and we don’t think it’s going to slow down anytime soon. Even the Arkham series marathon has been hit so far. As of now, PewDiePie has not responded to Cenat’s comments. That’s because he has been largely absent from YouTube after semi-retiring to focus on family life in Japan. Although he still uploads occasionally, he has become one of the few content creators who have managed to stay real and get a happily ever after.

How to see 7 planets aligned tonight in a ‘planetary parade’ How to see 7 planets aligned tonight in a ‘planetary parade’ Friday holds a special celestial treat in store for astronomers and amateur stargazers. Mercury will become the seventh planet to line up in a current “planetary parade” that’s happening, joining Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, which have dazzled the night sky in their alignment since late January. What is a planetary alignment? All eight planets in our solar system orbit the sun on the same flat plane, but at different speeds. Because of this, the planets are bound to line up with each other on occasion, NASA says. Contrary to popular belief, the planets don’t need to make a straight line in order for the event to be considered an “alignment,” according to Star Walk, a sky-gazing app. Instead, an alignment happens when several of the planets just gather closely on one side of the Sun. In rare instances, like this current planetary parade, all of the planets will appear in the night sky simultaneously, with most visible to the naked eye. Trusted news and daily delights, right in your inbox See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. NASA says that a planetary alignment isn’t super rare, but because they don’t happen every year, they’re still notable to witness. The next planetary alignment won’t happen until Sept. 8, 2040. When can you see the 7 planets? The planetary alignment will be visible almost worldwide on the evening of Feb. 28. However, locations like Mexico and New York will have had the best visibility on Feb. 25, while Mumbai, Beijing and Sydney will have the best view on March 3, according to Star Walk. Stargazers can enter their location in the Sky Tonight app to see what day they’ll have optimum viewing of the celestial spectacle. How can you see the planets? After identifying your location’s optimal day to view the alignment, step outside just after sunset where Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars will be easily visible to the naked eye. Saturn can be tricky to spot since it’s close to the Sun and low to the horizon in late February. To see Uranus and Neptune, you’ll need a pair of binoculars or a telescope. To get the best possible look, find a location with a clear view of the horizon away from light pollution. Not sure where to look in the night sky? NASA provides some guidance: Mercury: Look just above the horizon — it will appear pretty bright as the sunset fades. Venus: Look to the west after sunset and you’ll see the brightest planet in the night sky. Mars: Look high in the east and you’ll see the bright and amber-orange colored planet. It’s the last planet to set in the west, a couple of hours before sunrise. Jupiter: Look high overhead in the evening and you’ll find the largest planet in our solar system. Saturn: For the first hour after sunset, it’s visible low in the west. Source link #planets #aligned #tonight #planetary #parade Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Helldivers 2 would benefit from more enemies. | Image Credit: Arrowhead Game Studios However, every good game needs constant maintenance to thrive in the long run, and so does Helldivers 2. Players have long wanted to see some variety in the enemies, including this one type, with the ability to obliterate from the skies. Helldivers 2 will benefit from an even stronger foe Flying Titans would be a great addition to the game. | Image Credit: Arrowhead Game Studios Flying units could be a great addition to the game, especially on the Bug front. The current flying units are restricted to the illuminated front only, and the flight is further restricted to jet packs. Fans are now ready to face even more challenges in the game. Arrowhead should keep an open ear to what Helldivers 2’s player community is saying. They have been talking about increasing the challenge by introducing flying enemies, including a flying Titan. Comment byu/VEI0_ART from discussion inHelldivers Comment byu/VEI0_ART from discussion inHelldivers Comment byu/VEI0_ART from discussion inHelldivers A lot could be done by introducing flying enemies in-game. It would completely change the way players approach a mission or objective and add an extra layer of difficulty. Flying enemies would also enable developers to introduce anti-air weapons, adding to the dynamic nature of the game. It would be a good addition, especially after the game has now been out for almost a year. Various combinations including ground-based hordes and aerial enemies would be interesting to witness. Various missions can be built surrounding it. All in all, it would be a great addition to the game. This game could be 2025’s biggest multiplayer hit. This addition would add to the atmospheric horror of the game It is time for Arrowhead to come with the new and exciting updates. Image Credit: Arrowhead Game Studios Flying enemies will make another area in the map a threat, and players will always be vigilant about things happening on the ground as well as in the air. This would increase the atmospheric horror of the game. However, it would be important to create balance within the game, since this addition might cause certain imbalances here and there. The developer, if it were to ever include this, should think it through so that it does not ruin the experience of the game but only enriches it. It is important for a live-service game to keep coming up with fresh and exciting updates to keep players hooked onto the game, similarly, Helldivers 2 could also benefit from the same strategy.

‘He loved with his entire heart.’ MS Coast man guilty of drunk driving in deadly ****** ‘He loved with his entire heart.’ MS Coast man guilty of drunk driving in deadly ****** A South Mississippi man is headed to prison for driving drunk when he killed a St. Martin man. Judge Calvin Taylor on Friday sentenced Huong Van Nguyen, 62, of Vancleave, to serve 18 years in prison on a felony charge of driving under the influence of alcohol causing death. Nguyen was legally drunk when he caused a Sept. 23, 2022, ****** that killed Gary Randall Mitchell, 46, of St. Martin. Martin left behind a wife, a daughter and other relatives and friends. In his obituary, Mitchell was described as someone who “always had a smile for you.” “He loved with his entire heart; he never knew the words, No, I can’t help,” the obituary said. “Gary loved being with his family, cooking, and fishing. Gary was a great dad to his loving daughter.” Nguyen said was on his way home and driving in a reckless manner when he swerved into an oncoming lane on Seaman Road and hit a motorcycle driven by Mitchelll. Mitchell died as a result of his injuries. Huong Van Nguyen A blood test showed that Nguyen had drunk enough alcohol that he registered more than the state’s legal limit to drive. Before his arrest, Nguyen had worked as a casino dealer and shrimper, according to his plea petition. Relatives and friends wrote letters of support for the judge to consider before sentencing. The Rev. Dominic Pham from Sacred Heart Catholic Church is among those to write in, asking the judge to consider leniency in sentencing Nguyen. Pham described Nguyen as a humble man who regularly attended mass at the church with his wife and children. “I really believe Huong is committed to continue living an honest life and better himself,” Pham said. “I have no reservation about the integrity of his character and his sincere desire to be a good and productive citizen.” Gary Randall Mitchell died after a drunk driver crashed into his motorcycle in September 2022. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department investigated the case. District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath and Assistant District Attorney Bill Barrett prosecuted the case. “Our hearts go out to the family of Gary Mitchell,” McIlrath said. “Gary was a loving husband, father and provider who was taken from them far too soon. While there is no sentence that can be imposed in this case that will bring Gary back, we hope that today’s sentence will help his family in the healing process. “ As for Nguyen, McIlrath said, “this case highlights how one irresponsible and reckless decision can have earth-shattering consequences.” “Despite having a loving and supportive family of his own, this defendant made the very irresponsible decision to drive drunk,” McIlrath said. “Because of his decision and actions, Gary Mitchell was killed, and his family is left to mourn his loss. Today, the defendant was held accountable for his actions.” Source link #loved #entire #heart #Coast #man #guilty #drunk #driving #deadly #****** Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content] For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]
