SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) Gay rights advocates said Monday that they will seek to challenge an appeals court decision tossing out part of a California law designed to protect older LGBTQ residents in nursing homes.
GREEN RIVER Jason Lee Fletcher, 46, of Rock Springs, has been sentenced to at least eight years in the Wyoming State Penitentiary following his involuntary manslaughter conviction in April.
Judge Richard Lavery handed down the sentence this afternoon in Third District Court telling Fletcher that his “crime was hard to put into a category where at least some incarceration is not warranted.”
Lena Fletcher died on the night of June 29, 2020, after being shot with a .44 Magnum Ruger Blackhawk through her hand, neck, and shoulder at the couple’s Clearview Acres home.

Jason Fletcher has consistently maintained that her wounds were self-inflicted, but did take responsibility for loading the gun prior to the incident.
Curtiss was born possibly in the village of Constantia in Oswego County, New York. His early life and education are undocumented. His mother’s name is not known, but his father was Hastings Curtiss, who about 1820 moved his family to the nearby village of Central Square, where he built a hotel. In 1824 he served a term in the state legislature, and the next year a newly incorporated Oswego County town was named Hastings in his honor. By 1845 Gaston Curtiss had married Floretta Anna Allen and had at least one son, but four years later he was in debt and forced to sell his real and personal property in order to pay his creditors. In 1850 he was living in Hastings, where he was a merchant and a town supervisor. By 1860 he and his family had moved to the port city of Oswego.
