Hillsborough families launch bid to correct decades-old court record

Jenni and Trevor Hicks, who lost daughters Victoria (15) and Sarah (19) in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, have launched a campaign to amend official court records that wrongly claimed the victims died within minutes. New medical and inquest evidence showed they were conscious for longer, but South Yorkshire Police has refused to consent to a fresh hearing. The couple will push for a mechanism to correct inaccurate records at a Westminster event, describing it as potentially their last legal bid for truth and for accountability for all who died that day.

"Mother and Boyfriend Arrested for Neglect Leading to 5-Year-Old's Tragic Death"

A 5-year-old girl in Indianapolis died from severe malnutrition after being forced to live in a feces-covered closet with little food.

Court records revealed that the mother confessed to mistreating her daughter and admitted to fearing her actions would lead to the girl's death. The family believes the Department of Child Services failed the girl, as she had previously been removed from her mother's custody for neglect.

"Tragic Minnesota Shooting Exposes Pattern of Domestic Abuse and Loss"

Court records reveal that the suspect in the Burnsville shooting had a history of abuse, with two mothers of his children filing orders for protection against him. The records detail incidents of physical and emotional abuse, including head-butting, throwing down the stairs, and threatening with a knife. Despite the allegations, one petition was dismissed due to lack of proof, and the other petitioner later wrote a letter in support of the suspect. The judge, however, cited the allegations when denying the suspect's petition to regain his gun rights, upholding a lifetime ban against him. This ban stems from a 2007 assault conviction, reflecting lawmakers' concerns about future dangerousness.

"Tragic Shooting: Suspect's Restricted Access to Firearms and Tribute to Fallen First Responders"

The man who fatally shot two Minnesota police officers and a first responder was prohibited from owning a firearm and had unsuccessfully tried to overturn the lifelong state ban four years ago. Shannon Gooden, 38, had several guns and large amounts of ammunition when he opened fire on law enforcement officers while barricaded inside a home with seven children in Burnsville, Minnesota. Gooden, who was prohibited from possessing firearms after a 2007 conviction, had made a plea to reverse the ban in 2020, but the judge denied the motion. The shooting is under investigation, and the families of the first responders and Gooden's children are deeply affected by the tragedy.
