Sean McGovern has asked the Special Criminal Court to give him credit for pleading guilty to directing the criminal organisation in the murder of an innocent grandfather.

The positive identification on the badly decomposed body was eventually made using DNA and dental records, said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister.

Judge Anuja Dhir stated that Pexton's actions and conduct after the killing demonstrate not only her absence of remorse but also a deliberate and callous attitude towards what she had done.

Irmer described meeting the victim, identified as Rose, in Boston around Halloween 1979 while she was arguing with her boyfriend. After visiting Rose's basement apartment and walking around Back Bay, Irmer and Rose stopped at a house under construction. As Rose walked up a set of stairs inside the house, Irmer struck her in the head with a hammer 'so hard that he believes that he killed her instantly,' according to court documents.

Corinne Rey-Bellet had left her abusive husband and returned to her hometown, where she was celebrated as a two-time Olympian and five-time World Cup winner. On the evening of April 30, 2006, she agreed to meet her estranged husband, Gerold Stadler, with her mother and brother present for safety. The meeting turned deadly when Stadler shot Rey-Bellet, her mother, and her brother, leaving her two-year-old son, Kevin, orphaned.

Timothy Hudson's trial on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse will start June 1 in Miami, U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom said in an order Monday.

Nancy Pexton stabbed her sister Jennifer Abbott 10 times, leaving her body for three days in her flat. Abbott was found with a large slash-type wound across her neck.

Cindy Wanner, a 35-year-old mother, disappeared on November 25, 1991, while cleaning her sister's home, leaving her infant child behind. Her remains were discovered weeks later, revealing she had been brutally raped and strangled.

Court records reveal that since October, Janette MacAusland had been involved in a contentious divorce and custody battle over her children, 6-year-old Ella and 7-year-old Kai MacAusland.

Janette MacAusland, 49, of Wellesley, is accused of killing her two children, 7-year-old Kai and 6-year-old Ella, amid a custody dispute.

The court ruled that his judgement was impaired at the time of the attack -- a finding that could have reduced the sentence to 13 years -- but said a longer term was justified given the 'undeniable seriousness' of the crime.

Prosecutors say surveillance video shows Spillman walking toward the front of the vehicle, taking issue with Amil blocking the sidewalk, and pouring liquid from a water bottle onto the hood.

"For decades, the Bishop and Bell families were deprived of the full story of what happened to their loved ones. It was a lengthy process to identify Robert Carey, but it is my sincere hope that knowing his name and bringing his heinous actions to light will bring a sense of closure and peace to the Bishop and Bell families."

Amil accelerated, knocking Spillman onto his hood and windshield. He then slowed down, causing her to slide in front of the vehicle, at which point he continued to drive forward, running her over.

"This case involves an elderly man who was disoriented and living with dementia, conditions that made him particularly vulnerable. The level of violence alleged here is brutal, callous and extreme."

District Attorney Jeff Rosen stated, 'More than 10,000 people die in drunk driving incidents every year in this country. Not one of them was what I would ever call an accident. Every single one was an avoidable criminal tragedy, and in this case - a murder.'
