Beebe jailed in Virginia rape case after years of delay
Liz Seccuro endured a traumatic 1984 assault at the University of Virginia and an uneasy 2005 exchange after Beebe apologized in AA. On Thursday a judge sentenced Beebe to 18 months in prison after investigators uncovered new information suggesting multiple assailants. Seccuro, now 40, said forgiveness does not replace punishment and plans to move forward.

Oklahoma lawmakers deadlock wage measure amid tie vote
Oklahoma City Legislation on raising the minimum wage stalled after a 23 23 tie was formed and Lt Gov Askins summoned to break it. Senate President Pro Tem Morgan did not need her vote as he broke the tie. The final tally on the amendment and its attachment to a worker training bill failed passage. The overall bill saw 23 Republicans and one Democrat against, 23 Democrats for, with Tom Ivester the lone Democrat in opposition. The House later passed a separate tax cut measure, reducing top rates over two years, while revenue impact was noted. Tulsa reports a $585,000 settlement to three families alleging improper seizure and sale of property by a prosecutor’s office.
