Judge Grants Custody To Mother Who Killed Infant
Latrena Pixley, 23, of Washington, who admitted smothering her infant daughter in 1992, is awarded custody of her nearly 2-year-old son within 60 days after Circuit Court Judge Michael Mason ruled it is usually not in the best interest to separate a child from the biological mother. Pixley had pleaded guilty to second degree murder, was later convicted of credit card fraud, served 18 months, and was released in November. Sources say hearings were not open to the public.

Lorillard settles tobacco lawsuit over asbestos in filters
Lorillard Tobacco Co agrees to a 1.5 million settlement to resolve a lung cancer death linked to asbestos in Micronite filters used on Kent cigarettes worn by Milton Horowitz of Beverly Hills. A 1995 San Francisco jury had awarded 1.3 million plus 700,000 in punitive damages. A separate Quaker Oats MIT settlement covers a 1940s 1950s radioactive oatmeal study involving Fernald School youths. Police deaths rose 27 percent to at least 150 nationally, with California and Texas reporting the most.
