Ellwood seeks to dismiss two second degree murder charges with a civil rights suit alleging police coercion.

Pacific pollution dust travels across ocean to the United States
Scientists reported that industrial pollution and dust from Asia move thousands of miles across the Pacific, occasionally raising U.S. pollution to two‑thirds of federal health standards. Ground stations confirmed clouds from China and central Asia, with dust from the Gobi Desert reaching as far as Texas, though most events dilute and pose limited health risk.
