Polygamous sect leader gets 50 years in prison in scheme to orchestrate sex involving children
A polygamist religious leader who claimed more than 20 spiritual “wives” including 10 underage girls was sentenced to 50 years in prison on Monday for coercing girls as young as 9 years old to submit to criminal sex acts with him and other adults, and for scheming to kidnap them from protective custody. Samuel Bateman, whose small group was an offshoot of the sect once led by Warren Jeffs, had pleaded guilty to a yearslong scheme to transport girls across state lines for his sex crimes, and later to kidnap some of them from protective custody. Under the agreement, Bateman pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit transportation of a minor for sexual activity, which carries a sentence of 10 years to life imprisonment, and one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping, which is punishable by up to life imprisonment.

Man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO shouts on way into courthouse and fights extradition
The man charged with murder in the killing of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare made it clear he wasn’t going to make things easy for authorities, shouting unintelligibly and writhing in the grip of sheriff’s deputies as he was led into court and then objecting to being taken to New York to face trial. The displays of resistance Tuesday weren’t expected to significantly delay legal proceedings for Luigi Nicholas Mangione, who was charged in last week’s Manhattan killing of Brian Thompson, the leader of the United States’ largest medical insurance company. Little new information has come out about a possible motive, though writings found in Mangione's possession hinted at a vague hatred of corporate greed.
