She returned again to the fact that the convictions were for misdemeanor offenses, not felonies, while saying that, “I can’t even grasp how they are misdemeanor offenses, quite honestly, but nonetheless, we’re in a limited jurisdiction court and I have to keep that in mind.”Īt that point, she presented the three-year probation sentence, restitution and a suspended 180-day jail sentence for each count. She also ordered Bell to continue with psychotherapy, refrain from drinking alcohol, not to contact Pastner or his family and to not make any comments on social media regarding Pastner, his coaching, his team or his family. If Bell is shown to violate the terms of his probation - which also includes violations of law, even traffic laws, and willful failure to make timely and full restitution payments - he is to serve a 180-day jail sentence.

After Anders Behring Breivik murdered 77 in a pair of 2011 attacks in Norway, Lanza wrote in an online post that someone had “finally” topped Woo Bum-kon, who in a 1982 attack killed 56 people in South Korea. Lanza’s online activity, discovered after the 2012 attack, suggested he was “obsessed” with mass shootings and those who perpetrated them, and viewed the field as competitors, Lankford said. “Just look at how many fans you can find for all different types of mass murderers,” Lanza wrote in on online post before fatally shooting 20 children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Holmes, who fatally shot 12 in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., leave behind evidence that, in planning their own actions, they were at pains to top earlier shootings in scale or in style.
