Ex-prosecutor plans lawsuit; short on signatures for AG race
BERKLEY (AP) — A federal prosecutor who quit his job to launch an independent candidacy for state attorney general says he doesn’t have enough signatures to get on the ballot.
But Chris Graveline apparently isn’t giving up. He says on Facebook that a federal lawsuit is in the works. He says, “Every good lawyer has a plan B”
Graveline didn’t meet a deadline to collect 30,000 signatures to run as an independent candidate for attorney general.
He headed the violent crime unit at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Detroit, prosecuting gang members and drug traffickers.
‘Jeopardy!’ winner gets probation for sneaking into emails
ADRIAN (AP) — A seven-time “Jeopardy!” winner who taught history at a Michigan college has been sentenced to probation for going into the email accounts of professors, administrators and students.
Stephanie Jass apologized Friday in Lenawee County court, saying she was sorry for causing pain. She'll be on probation for a year.
Jass’ seven-episode “Jeopardy!” winning streak in 2012 was a record at the time for a female contestant.
Police say Jass logged into other email accounts without permission over a four-day period after Adrian College reset passwords and assigned everyone the same temporary password. She had a document that listed “comments and problems” of faculty members.
Judge Margaret Noe says, “Nations fear this type of behavior.”
Court fines religious entanglement by school district
DENVER (AP) — A federal court has ruled that a Colorado school district violated the Constitution when it supported a Christian spring break mission trip in 2014.
The Denver Post reports a parent and the American Humanist Association filed a lawsuit against the Douglas County School District after it supported the trip to Guatemala by a group of students from Highlands Ranch High School’s chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
U.S. District Court Judge R. Brooke Jackson wrote in the opinion that the district backed an “overtly Christian cause through financial donations, through sending emails and flyers to students’ families, and through hosting the supply drive during school hours over the course of a school week,” resulting in “an excessive government entanglement with religion.”
Woman gives birth in Chick-fil-A bathroom, baby gets perks
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) — A baby girl is guaranteed food for life — and a job — after her mother gave birth in a Chick-fil-A bathroom.
Falon Griffin was having contractions when she and her husband stopped at the fast-food restaurant in San Antonio to drop off their daughters with a family friend. She had to use the bathroom, but the restaurant was closed.
The couple banged on the door. Store director Brenda Enriquez tells KSAT-TV she opened the door and Griffin was screaming. Enriquez grabbed some towels.
Husband Robert Griffin says unwrapped the umbilical cord from the baby's neck and deliver Gracelyn Griffin.
Mom and baby are doing fine. The company says Gracelyn will have free Chick-fil-A for life and a job when she turns 14.
