The revolutionary Fred Hampton was murdered at the age of 21 in 1969. Hampton served as chairman of the Black Panther Party’s Illinois chapter. On death, he had this to say: “I don’t believe I’m going to die because I got a bad heart; I don’t believe I’m going to die because of lung cancer. I believe that I’m going to be able to die doing the things I was born for. I believe that I’m going to be able to die high off the people. I believe that I will be able to die as a revolutionary in the international revolutionary proletarian struggle.” Hampton and fellow Black Panther, 22-year-old Mark Clark, were murdered in a police-FBI raid on Dec. 4, 1969.

Though the state has embarked on a recruitment campaign, a shortage of nurses at Pelican Bay State Prison has led to a toxic environment of harassment, retaliation and disciplinary action, according to a union representative.
With 47 open nursing positions at the prison, members of the skeleton crew that’s left are often asked to work 16 hours a day or are covering the work of two or three people during one eight-hour shift, said Laura Slavec, local SEIU district bargaining unit representative and registered dental assistant at Pelican Bay.

Three appellate judges upheld the murder convictions of two former Allan Hancock College basketball players for a shooting during a drug-deal-gone wrong in Santa Maria more than six years ago.
The California Court of Appeal Second Appellate District recently issued the opinion in the case against mastermind Lavell Calvin White, now 28, and shooter Ali Abdul Mohammed, now 25, affirming the conviction.
However, one justice dissented on White’s role in the crime.
The pair were charged in connection with the fatal shooting of Terence Richardson, 23, a passenger in a vehicle parked near the intersection of Jones Street and Bradley Road on Dec. 30, 2014.
