Ranson faced four indictments tied to abuse at care homes run by him and his wife. Judge Williams set a 5 pm June 14 deadline for surrender, warning failure to appear would mark him as an escapee. State witnesses described squalid cabins, locked residents, and neglect, while Harte defended the couple and relatives testified about care quality. Officials fined Ranson $10,000, closing three homes and ending their operation.

Plutonium Packaging Plan Faces Setbacks at Rocky Flats
Kaiser-Hill spokesman John Corsi said the firm can package the remaining plutonium containers by early next year using the current system after a strophic failure. He noted 48 containers were completed last week and the operation aims for 2006. A federal official said plans to use 45-gallon shipping containers were dropped, as the larger DT-22s would have allowed wholesale packaging of plutonium parts without downsizing.
