SUMMARY
Gary Hilton was sentenced to life in prison after being proved guilty for killing a woman who was on a hike with her dog. Meredith Emerson, the hiker, was only 24. She disappeared on New Years day. Hilton kidnapped her and killed her. In order to avoid the death sentence he led authorities to her body. The autopsy showed she died because of blunt trauma to her head after which she was decapitated. The family is very happy Hilton is going to "rot" in jail. Authorities also think Hilton may have killed several other people. Gary Hilton will not be up for parole until he is 91.

OPINION
this man is somewhat crazy. Why would anyone do this? I hate hearing these kinds of stories. I wish Gary Hilton was hanged. I think the suffering in that would possibly be sufficient for the death he caused. I am glad that parole won't be possible for so long.

SUMMARY
the U.N. pulls out of Darfur. Since Tuesday 5 cars belonging to the U.N. were hijacked at gunpoint. Two refugee camps were abandoned. The U.N. simply does not have the power to protect the people and themselves.

OPINION

The U.N. is junk. They should have just stayed. Protecting people is very important. I don’t even understand how what the U.N. does with their weapons is useful. If they were held up I think they should be able to fire on the people. Innocent people who had hope probably died and most likely died or will die soon.
