Brothers drownings ruled accidents at Florida pool
Three brothers aged 9, 7, and 4 were found dead in a Fort Pierce yard pool and ruled accidental drownings. Investigators, including Merv Waldron, said no foul play is suspected, and it remains unclear how they entered the enclosed yard. Julia Mendoza discovered the bodies as she returned home Friday afternoon. Neighbor Octave Metelus was briefly supervising his sons that day before noticing the incident.

San Quentin’s 150 Year History From Barge to Death Row
San Quentin State Prison marked 150 years with paring the tale of its origins from a 1852 prison barge to a shore facility, early revolts, dungeon punishments, and the first state hanging in 1893. It grew to house all state executions by 1937, and now holds over 600 condemned inmates on the nation’s largest death row, amid protests sparked by 1992’s Harris execution.
