The criminal case of an Aurora couple charged in the co-sleeping death of their 2-day-old baby has spurred outcry from state reproductive justice groups who describe the prosecution as part of a growing trend across the country in which pregnant and postpartum people are facing more criminalization.Brittany Diekneit, 27, and her husband Sean Byrne, 26, are each facing a felony charge of child abuse resulting in death. Diekneit and baby Walker returned home from the hospital on Sept. 22, and Walker died sometime that night or early morning. In April, three months after the autopsy was completed, arrest warrants were issued for the pair. The Aurora police arrest affidavits allege that the couple was drinking alcohol before sharing a bed with the baby and “ignored the substantial and unjustifiable risk of co-sleeping with Walker while being incapacitated and they were thus unable to check on him.”The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office also upped the detective...Boat ramp at Cherry Creek Reservoir to reopen in time for Memorial Day weekend

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 03:09:51 GMT
A bill that would decriminalize the possession of some psychedelic substances passed the California State Senate Wednesday and now heads to the State Assembly. Senate Bill 58, which was introduced by Senator Scott Weiner, would allow people age 21 or older to own or prepare "certain hallucinogenic substances," including psilocybin, psilocyn, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ibogaine, and mescaline.Psilocybin is often referred to as "magic mushrooms."The bill would also repeal laws that prohibit growing "spores or mycelium capable of producing mushrooms or other material which contain psilocybin or psilocyn."SB 58's decriminalization of mescaline specifically excludes peyote derivatives.The bill's author states that peyote use and cultivation will remain a crime because the plant is "nearly endangered" and because of its historical spiritual use by Native Americans.In this Aug. 3, 2007, file photo magic mushrooms are seen in a grow room at the Procare farm in Hazerswoude, central Netherland...Florencio Lagara-Perez Pronounced Dead in Rollover Crash on Fairview Avenue [Goleta, CA]

But it’s not like they ever slowed down; 2017’s Momentum is a great record too. The Chisel and Niis also perform. “Momentum was recorded at Muther’s Studio in GBH’s hometown of Birmingham, England,” read a press release when it came out. Vocalist Colin Abrahall said: “We laid down all kinds of takes on the songs which made the mixing interesting as we’d send it all off to Michael (Rosen – Engineer) and him and Lars (Fredericksen – Rancid) would send back tracks. You’d think something was maybe a glitch or whatever and it’d come back and we’d listen and think ‘that’s f*cking amazing’!”“GBH formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England.
