Alabama Gov Kay Ivey hospitalized following minor procedure, says she is determined to make speedy recovery
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, a Republican, was hospitalized on Tuesday after undergoing a minor procedure to remove fluid that was pressing against her lung, according to her office.
Ivey, 81, will be monitored at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery in the coming days out of an abundance of caution, a spokesperson for the governor said in a statement.
The fluid was discovered on Tuesday when the governor went to her doctor because she was feeling discomfort in her left side and recently experienced some shortness of breath.
"For the last three weeks, Governor Kay Ivey has experienced some discomfort in her left side," the statement said. "After monitoring the pain and recently feeling slightly short-of-breath, she made the decision to be seen again by her primary care physician earlier today."
MCCONNELL RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL AFTER HEALTH SCARE, TO WORK FROM HOME AS KEY DHS VOTE LOOMS
While Ivey’s medical issue wasn’t urgent, but she wanted it taken care of quickly so she could recover before the legislative session ends.
"While it was not emergent, Governor Ivey wanted to get the procedure done as soon as possible so she can quickly get back to 100% to wrap up the 2026 Regular Session," the statement said.
Ivey's office did not specify how long she would be in the hospital.
"We are in touch with Governor Ivey, and she says she is determined to make a very speedy and full recovery," her spokesperson said.
Officials in Alabama and other states offered support for Ivey as she recovers from the procedure.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, a Republican, said he was thankful Ivey was "receiving excellent care from some of the finest medical professionals. She is in good hands, and I join so many Alabamians in praying for her swift and full recovery."
Georgia GOP Gov. Brian Kemp said he and his family were praying for Ivey and wished her a speedy recovery.
"She has always been a fighter and we know she’ll fight through this too," Kemp wrote.
The Alabama governor announced in 2019 that she was undergoing radiation for lung cancer, describing it as a small localized spot. Her office said the following year that scans indicated the treatment was successful, and she was free of disease.
Ivey is term-limited and cannot run for re-election this year.

Marco Rubio warns Iran wanted to be the 'next North Korea' as he sees 'finish line' in conflict
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday the U.S. is nearing the "finish line" in its conflict with Iran, while warning that Tehran was seeking to become the next North Korea.
Rubio told "Hannity" Tuesday that Iran was pursuing intercontinental missiles capable of striking the United States and would have achieved those objectives if President Donald Trump had not launched Operation Epic Fury.
"They were aiming to become the next North Korea, except not a North Korea run by a regime that is troublesome and hard to understand, but an Iran run by radical Shia clerics with intercontinental missiles that could reach the mainland of the United States eventually," the Secretary of State said.
"That's what they would have ultimately achieved… had President Trump not taken these steps that he's taken."
CRUZ SAYS TRUMP'S MOVE TO STRIKE IRAN 'MOST CONSEQUENTIAL DECISION' OF HIS PRESIDENCY
Rubio accused Iran’s regime of misleading the public about its ballistic missile capabilities, saying officials "denied" their missiles could reach as far as London.
"[Abbas] Araghchi, their foreign minister, this guy is a liar," he told Fox News host Sean Hannity. "This guy was on television like a week ago – two weeks ago – denying that Iran had any missiles that could go beyond a certain limitation."
Trump has recently said the Iran conflict could last only a few more weeks, as Operation Epic Fury nears 33 days, with Rubio echoing that the end is near.
DEFIANT IRAN VOWS TO FIGHT 'UNTIL COMPLETE VICTORY,' DESPITE HEAVY MILITARY LOSSES
"We can see the finish line. It's not today, it's not tomorrow, but it is coming," Rubio said.
Rubio has signaled progress in talks with Iran, noting that while Tehran remains publicly defiant, its officials are being more cooperative in private discussions.
But he said President Trump will not be "strung" along like the Biden administration.
"What President Trump is not going to allow is he's not going to allow fake negotiations to be used as a delay tactic, to buy more time, to buy themselves space," Rubio explained.
Iranian leadership remains fluid, according to reports, as Pakistan announced Sunday that it will host talks between the United States and Iran.
Rubio warned that if a deal is not reached, the United States will not stop its military campaign.
TRUMP’S IRAN STRATEGY IS WORKING AND TEACHING OUR FOES WHAT DETERRENCE MEANS
"We're not going to allow… the failure of talks to impede our ability to defend this country and to protect this country from a real threat," he declared.
Rubio argued the Iranian regime is made up of people with destructive tendencies.
"This is a regime led by people who believe that it is their calling and their purpose in life is to usher in the end of the world," he told Fox News. "These people want nuclear weapons."
He also warned that the United States may reconsider its role in NATO once the U.S.-Iran conflict ends, as the war raised questions about the alliance’s value.
"We are going to reexamine whether or not this alliance, that has served this country well for a while, is still serving that purpose or has it now become a one-way street, where America is simply in a position to defend Europe. But when we need the help of our allies, they're going to deny us basing rights," he told Fox News.
President Trump will address the nation Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET to discuss the state of the U.S.-Iran conflict.
Florida Supreme Court keeps ex-cop's execution on hold after DNA test fails to give a clear answer
The execution of a former police officer convicted of murdering and raping a young girl nearly 40 years ago will remain on hold after the state Supreme Court on Monday denied the state’s request to lift the stay, according to court documents.
James Duckett, a former Mascotte police officer accused of preying on 11-year-old Teresa McAbee in 1987, was scheduled for execution on Tuesday.
The motion comes after DNA testing of biological material from the victim’s underwear, which the defense argued could prove Duckett’s innocence, came back inconclusive Friday, court documents stated.
Because the results failed to exonerate Duckett, Florida’s attorney general swiftly moved to lift the stay, urging the state Supreme Court to allow the execution to proceed as scheduled.
The high court, however, denied the request on Monday, with six of seven justices opting to keep the execution on hold while giving the lower court time to review "successive claims" tied to the DNA evidence and requiring status updates on any outstanding issues by Thursday, April 2.
The case against Duckett — who has spent nearly 40 years on Florida’s death row — has drawn intense scrutiny due to his former role as a police officer and his longstanding claims of innocence.
On May 11, 1987, then-29-year-old Mascotte police officer James Duckett was seen questioning a young girl at a convenience store near Orlando before ultimately placing her in his patrol car, arguing that it was past curfew.
The 11-year-old reportedly went to the convenience store that night, but never made it home, according to Fox 35 Orlando. Her body was reportedly found the next morning in Knight Lake, less than a mile from the store, and she had been sexually assaulted, strangled and drowned.
Duckett was identified as the last person to see her.
At the time, an FBI expert testified that a pubic hair found at the scene matched Duckett’s, although hair microscopy has since been discredited as an unreliable forensic method.
Fingerprints from both Duckett and Teresa were reportedly found on the hood of his patrol car, and tire tracks at the lake matched the Mascotte police department’s "mud and snow" tires.
In addition, Duckett’s radio logs showed a mysterious gap of more than one hour on the night of the murder.
Duckett represents one of the few former law enforcement officers on death row. The case currently hinges on whether 1980s-era forensic evidence, such as hair matching, is enough to uphold a death sentence when modern DNA testing fails to provide a definitive answer.
Raiders coach Klint Kubiak favors veteran QB, hesitant to start rookie early in season
Las Vegas may be Fernando Mendoza’s first NFL stop. But if he joins the Raiders as a rookie, his jersey may stay clean early if coach Klint Kubiak has his way.
Mendoza led Indiana to its first College Football Playoff national title in January and is widely projected as the No. 1 overall pick in April’s NFL Draft, a selection held by the Raiders.
Klint Kubiak was named the Raiders head coach in February, shortly after helping to lead the Seattle Seahawks to the franchise's second Super Bowl title as offensive coordinator.
Kubiak believes rookie quarterbacks benefit from learning from an experienced player before seeing game action.

"Ideally, you don't want him to start from Day 1," Kubiak told reporters Tuesday. "You'd love him to be able to learn behind somebody. That's in a perfect world. It doesn't always work out that way. Sometimes they have to play from Day 1, and it's our job as coaches to get them ready to go. I think it does help the player if they can sit behind a mature adult and watch how they run the show."
MAXX CROSBY’S WIFE REACTS TO RAVENS TRADE FALLOUT WITH THREE-WORD MESSAGE
Aidan O'Connell is the only other quarterback on the Raiders's roster after the team traded Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett signed with the Panthers. Kirk Cousins, Jimmy Garoppolo and Russell Wilson are among the veterans who remain unsigned.
The Raiders’ playoff win drought dates to the 2002 season, when the franchise won the AFC championship.
Kubiak pointed to Fernando Mendoza’s track record when asked about the quarterback.
"He's a national champion. He's a winner," Kubiak said of Mendoza. "He's quick. He's intelligent."
On defense, the Raiders still have five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Maxx Crosby after his trade to Baltimore was voided because he failed a physical.
Kubiak said he smiled when general manager John Spytek gave him the news about the nixed deal.
"We got Maxx back. Are you kidding me? That's great. Our team just got better," Kubiak said.

Browns' Todd Monken explains reason behind missing NFL head coach group photo
Todd Monken was really looking forward to his first picture day as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, when all 32 coaches were scheduled to appear in Phoenix at the NFL annual league meeting this week.
However, Monken never made it to the group photo, and Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot found out a haircut was to blame.
Monken set up a haircut specifically for the photo Monday, and he believed he timed the situation perfectly, writing in his agenda that the photo was scheduled for noon Pacific time in Phoenix.

But when Monken ran into Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen, he learned the photo was already taken.
It wasn’t that Monken was late. Instead, a coaches meeting, which he skipped, let out early, and they decided to take the photo with all the coaches assembled. Well, not all the coaches.
BROWNS OWNER GIVES OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK FOR INJURY-RIDDLED DESHAUN WATSON
Monken wasn’t the only coach not in the photo, though. Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay was also absent from the photo.
While Monken may have missed the picture, he hasn’t missed sharing his thoughts about his quarterback depth chart heading into his first season on the job in Cleveland.
All eyes are on Monken and his staff choosing an eventual starter for the Browns, whether it be veteran Deshaun Watson, who could be on track to return in 2026; Shedeur Sanders; or Dillon Gabriel.
With the Browns’ offseason program beginning April 7, Monken was asked if he has a QB1 in mind. While he didn’t name the depth chart order, he did note that the workload won’t be an even split for the quarterbacks who participate.
"I don’t expect the reps to be divided equally," Monken said on Tuesday, per the Akron Beacon Journal.
That would mean Monken does have an order in mind for his quarterbacks, though he noted he wasn’t yet ready to say who sits atop the list. However, Monken said he and the staff will go off "basically what we’ve seen in the past and where the year ended last year."
Based on the three quarterbacks, Sanders would likely have the upper hand. Watson was still recovering from his Achilles injury, and ex-head coach Kevin Stefanski had Sanders start the remaining seven games of the season after Gabriel struggled before suffering an injury.
Sanders’ earned his first win against the Las Vegas Raiders.
But it’s all speculation until the Browns’ program begins next week.

Rogan warns of US ‘population collapse’ due to toxic chemicals and delayed parenthood tank birth rates
Podcaster Joe Rogan spoke with epidemiologist Shanna H. Swan, PhD on Tuesday about how chemical and cultural factors are destroying America’s birthrate.
Swan, an environmental epidemiologist and author of "Count Down," spoke with Rogan about how widespread exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals in plastics, food, water, and everyday products is contributing to declining fertility in modern society.
Rogan noted that treatments like IVF have become an increasingly commonplace topic, particularly as "older people that are, you know – they put their careers aside in their 30s, they decided now it's time to have kids. They're worried that it's too late."
"But listening to you talk about it, it seems like that's only one part of the issue and not the big part," Rogan said. "The big part seems to be that we're being poisoned, and we're doing it by virtue of our modern world that we live in where so much of your life relies on plastic."
MORE AND MORE GEN Z WOMEN SAY THEY DON’T WANT KIDS. AS A YOUNG MOM, HERE’S WHAT THEY GET WRONG
Swan proceeded to tell Rogan that "fertility is in the toilet" in modern societies to the point where it was once the norm for couples to have five children in the 1960s, but now in places like South Korea, that number has plummeted to about 0.88 children per couple on average.
"They’re in danger of complete population collapse," Rogan said.
Swan noted that many articles have spoken about the issue, but very few are willing to mention the role that exposure to toxic chemicals plays not only in harming human fertility, but that of other species as well.
"Animals are not choosing to have their children later or to delay childbearing," she warned.
"They have big careers," Rogan joked sarcastically. "Beavers are trying to make dams. They don't have time for children."
EX-META BOSS SHERYL SANDBERG RIPS TRADWIFE TREND AS 'SEXIST,' HARMFUL TO WOMEN
One study they spoke about indicated alligators are being impacted by chemical pollution to the point it has altered their genitals to be abnormally small and made it so their eggs are less durable, parallel to increasing human issues with testosterone and fertility.
"It completely makes sense," Rogan said. "But what doesn't make sense is how little attention that's being paid."
He continued, "You would think that in a society that is fa- I mean America is also facing a potential population collapse. People don't think about that, but our reproduction numbers we're not reprodu- Yeah. They're down quite a bit, and they're not at the level that we need in order to keep our population."
"It's the — you know, the normal shape of the population is like this right?" Swan said as she made a pyramid shape with her hands. "So this is up here, not very many people, and down here, lots and lots of people."
"Lots of people are living longer," she continued. "But few are down here, and then what that means is the ones down here are supposed to support the ones up here – "
"—But there’s not enough of them," Rogan said, completing her sentence.
"But there’s not enough of them," she agreed.
Rogan marveled at how widespread this issue is, noting that they had discussed these issues 5 years before, and yet very little has been done in the intervening years to address them. But this set of issues, he said, affects all humanity.
Wisconsin mother stabs teen daughter to death to 'protect' her from Elon Musk: authorities
A Wisconsin mother on drugs allegedly stabbed her 14-year-old daughter to death and told police she ended the child's life to protect her from billionaire tech executive Elon Musk.
Tyiece Oninski, of the Town of Turtle in Rock County, contacted authorities on March 20 and confessed to killing her daughter, Kuren Rein, the night before and that she then attempted suicide, according to a criminal complaint, WMTV reported.
During the call, which lasted about 13 minutes, Oninski said she killed the girl to "protect her from somebody else," later saying she wanted to protect her daughter from Musk, according to the complaint.
PENNSYLVANIA MAN ACCUSED OF STABBING 3-MONTH-OLD BABY AFTER TALKING 'SACRIFICE'
When she was asked if she needed an ambulance, Oninski said she needed a hearse instead.
"She’s dead, honey. She needs a hearse," Oninski explained on the call.
Police responded to the home and found the teen girl dead from multiple stab wounds inside the home, and a knife and sheath were found nearby.
Oninski also had cuts to her neck and wrists from her suicide attempt.
Investigators also reported discovering a partial bare footprint inside the home, later finding that Oninski’s left foot was stained with what appeared to be blood.
Oninski was transported to the hospital and tested positive for benzodiazepines, amphetamines, and THC in her blood.
At one point, as she was in the hospital, she asked a deputy if her name was in the news, and was disappointed when she was told it was not.
A GoFundMe page started to support family members after the loss of the 14-year-old girl has raised more than $17,000 as of Tuesday night.
"We are coming together to support a young man who has just lost his sister in a devastating and unthinkable way at the hands of their own mother," the fundraiser reads. "No one should have to face something like this, especially at such a young age. As he navigates this overwhelming grief, we want to ease the burden of funeral expenses so he can focus on healing and remembering his sister."
"She was loved deeply and will be missed beyond measure. Her life mattered, and she deserves to be honored with dignity and care," it added.
Contributor for far-left outlet calls for 'wiping out Israel,' says Israelis 'mustn't feel safe'
A contributing writer for the far-left publication Drop Site News called for "wiping out" Israel and urged his followers not to make Israelis "feel safe."
Palestinian journalist Abubaker Abed, a self-described "accidental war correspondent" whose work is published by Drop Site, took to social media Monday with a post calling for the complete elimination of the Jewish state.
"Wiping out Israel off the planet is not enough revenge. Israelis mustn’t feel safe anymore. Haunt them and go after them where they go. These terrorist parasites must be removed from our planet," Abed posted on Instagram.
ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES SUSPENDS BATALLION FROM DEPLOYMENT OVER ‘INAPPROPRIATE’ INCIDENT WITH CNN CREW
Drop Site co-founder Ryan Grim directed Fox News Digital to a statement saying Abed’s message does not represent the organization’s editorial position but stopped short of condemning the anti-Israel rhetoric.
"We also are never going to police the language of anyone who survived a genocide," Grim wrote on X.
Drop Site, primarily known for its anti-Israel coverage of the Gaza war, bills itself as a "a non-aligned, investigative news organization dedicated to exposing the crimes of the powerful — particularly in overt and secret conflicts where the U.S. government is playing a key role."
It has money from the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundations, which gave Drop Site a $250,000 grant in 2024 to establish a Middle East desk, according to a listing on Open Society's website.
The Washington Free Beacon also reported Soros' money was funneled to Drop Site through the Social Security Works Education Fund.
Trump signs executive order overhauling mail-in voting in major election integrity push
President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a sweeping executive order targeting mail-in voting and voter eligibility, calling the move a major step toward restoring confidence in U.S. elections.
Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump said the order is focused on "voter integrity and Mail-In ballots" and on "stopping the massive cheating that’s gone on."
"We’re going to be signing an executive order," Trump said. "It’s, I believe it’s foolproof… I think it’s very obvious what’s said."
The order directs federal agencies to work with states to compile lists of eligible voters using federal citizenship and identity data, while also instructing the U.S. Postal Service to develop new safeguards for mail-in ballots, including barcode tracking and verification measures.
Under the order, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) working with the Social Security Administration and other federal databases, will create and share "State Citizenship Lists" with state election officials.
The lists are intended to identify individuals confirmed to be U.S. citizens who will be at least 18 years old by the time of a federal election and who reside in that state.
Those lists are to be updated and transmitted to states ahead of federal elections, according to the order.
The order also directs the attorney general to prioritize investigations and potential prosecutions involving officials or others who issue ballots to individuals not eligible to vote in federal elections, as well as those involved in the "printing, production, shipment, or distribution of ballots" to ineligible voters.
SCOTUS CONSERVATIVES SIGNAL READINESS TO CURB LATE-ARRIVING MAIL BALLOTS
On mail ballots, the executive order calls on the postmaster general to initiate a rule-making process within 60 days. Proposed changes include requiring ballots to be clearly marked as official election mail, including a unique Intelligent Mail barcode or similar tracking technology, and undergoing Postal Service design review.
The order also outlines a system under which states would notify USPS if they plan to use mail-in or absentee ballots and provide lists of eligible voters, allowing the Postal Service to maintain participation records tied to ballot distribution.
Trump framed the changes as a direct response to what he described as longstanding vulnerabilities in voting by mail.
NOEM BACKS SAVE AMERICA ACT, SLAMS 'RADICAL LEFT' OPPOSITION TO VOTER IDS AND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP
"The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary," he said. "It’s horrible what’s going on."
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the administration is pushing for a system that ties each ballot to a trackable envelope.
"If you voted by mail, you will have it on the envelope," Lutnick said. "There’ll be a million envelopes… and you’ll be able to know exactly correctly, that citizens voted."
Trump said additional election-related measures, including voter ID and proof of citizenship requirements, are also under consideration.
"We’d like to have voter ID, we’d like to have proof of citizenship… we’re working on that," he said.
He also argued that opposition to such measures is politically motivated.
"The only people that don’t want to do voter ID are people that cheat," Trump said.
Trump acknowledged the order could face legal challenges but said he believes it will withstand them.
"I don’t know how it can be challenged," Trump said after signing the order. "You may find a rogue judge… but that’s the only way that could be changed."
The executive order states that voting in federal elections is reserved "exclusively for citizens of the United States" and argues that additional safeguards are necessary to "maintain public confidence in election outcomes." It also says that ballot identifiers such as barcodes can help ensure that only eligible voters receive and cast ballots.
Within minutes of Trump signing the order, top elections officials in Oregon and Arizona pledged to sue, arguing the president was illegally encroaching on states’ authority to run elections, according to The Associated Press.
Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said the state’s vote-by-mail system, originally designed by Republicans, is now used by about 80% of voters.
Arizona does not need the federal government to determine voter eligibility, and federal data is not always reliable, Fontes said.
Trump cast the issue in much broader terms.
"If you don’t have honest voting," he said, "you can’t have really a nation."
Man charged in 'particularly heinous' killing of DC resident found bound and set on fire in ritzy area: police
A man has been arrested in the killing of Syed Hammad Hussain, a 40-year-old Northwest Washington resident found dead inside his condominium in the city's ritzy Logan Circle neighborhood in February, in what police describe as a "particularly heinous" case involving a robbery, a violent assault and a fire set after his death.
Rico Rashaad Barnes, 36, of Northwest D.C., was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree murder while armed in Hussain’s killing, authorities said. Police have identified a second suspect, who is already in custody on unrelated charges and is expected to be charged in the case.
The killing occurred in the 1400 block of Rhode Island Avenue NW, a well-trafficked area in the Logan Circle area known for its restaurants and high-end residential buildings.
"This was a particularly heinous case," Interim Metropolitan Police Chief Jeff Carroll said during a Tuesday news conference. "Mr. Hussain was found suffering from blunt force trauma and thermal injuries inside of his apartment."
Firefighters responding to reports of smoke around 3:30 a.m. on Feb. 11 entered Hussain’s apartment, extinguished a small fire and found him unconscious and not breathing. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later ruled the death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma and strangulation. Investigators determined the fire had been set after Hussain’s death.
Court documents obtained by Fox News Digital detail the violent sequence of events.
According to a 27-page affidavit reviewed by Fox News Digital, surveillance footage shows Hussain entering his apartment building around 1:30 a.m., followed closely by two men.
"The video shows two suspects appearing to follow Mr. Hussain into the building," Commander Kevin Kentish of the department’s Criminal Investigations Division said Tuesday. "Shortly thereafter, the suspects knocked on the door, and Mr. Hussain allowed them inside."
Once inside, investigators say, the encounter escalated.
Video and witness statements, police said, revealed that Hussain was assaulted in the building’s lobby, struck and knocked to the ground before being forced toward his apartment. Detectives believe he was then dragged or carried inside, where the attack continued out of view of cameras.
When emergency crews later entered the apartment, they found Hussain lying face down with his wrists and ankles bound. Blood was visible on floors, walls and furniture, according to investigators.
The autopsy found multiple blunt force injuries, including skull fractures, as well as evidence of ligature strangulation. Burns to Hussain’s body were determined to have occurred after his death. Investigators allege the killing took place during a robbery.
The apartment had been searched, with drawers opened and items missing, including electronics, jewelry and cash. Authorities said that $50,000 worth of items were stolen from the condo.
"Video evidence was key in this case," Kentish said, adding that detectives spent "countless hours" reviewing footage from inside the building and surrounding areas.
That video trail revealed that the suspects left the building around 2:30 a.m. carrying multiple bags. Detectives tracked them across Northwest Washington using surveillance cameras and footage obtained with help from Metro Transit Police.
The suspects were seen walking along Rhode Island Avenue, then boarding a Metrobus and traveling toward the Georgia Avenue corridor before continuing by foot, according to investigators.
Through that process, police identified Barnes as one of the suspects.
Court documents say detectives matched surveillance images with police records and witness identifications.
A second suspect, identified in court documents as Alphonso Walker, was also linked to the crime through surveillance footage, witness statements and GPS data from an ankle monitor, which placed him in the area during the timeframe of the killing.
Barnes was arrested March 30 by members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force.
Police said they do not believe there are additional suspects.
Investigators said they do not believe Hussain had a prior relationship with the suspects before the day of the killing.
Carroll praised the work of homicide detectives and partner agencies involved in the case, calling it "strong detective work."
"On behalf of the entire Metropolitan Police Department, I want to express my deepest sympathies to Mr. Hussain’s family and his friends," Carroll said. "We know that this news does not ease the pain that you’re feeling, but we hope it does bring some level of closure."
Barnes remains in custody as the case proceeds in D.C. Superior Court.
