Quote:Richardson married Linda Mason in September 2001.   Mason had a daughter, F.L., from a previous relationship.   On the morning of September 12, 2001, Mason went to work and left eleven-month-old F.L. in Richardson's care.   At approximately 4:30 or 5:00 that afternoon, friends of Richardson, Andrew Buttrum and his fiancée, stopped by to visit.   Instead of inviting his guests inside, as he usually did when they visited, Richardson told them that F.L. was sleeping, so the three of them sat down outside.   Buttrum thought that Richardson was acting strangely and noted that loud music was playing inside the house despite Richardson's claim that F.L. was asleep.   Buttrum and his fiancée also observed that Richardson had a fresh, bleeding tattoo of F.L.'s name on his arm.   Buttrum and his fiancée left after approximately twenty minutes.

At approximately 6:45 p.m. that evening, Richardson went to a neighbor's apartment and called 911 to report that F.L. was unconscious.   Emergency personnel arrived and transported F.L. to the hospital.   When Evansville Police Officer Jeffery Hales arrived at the scene, he approached Richardson, who was standing outside.   Officer Hales asked Richardson what had happened to the child, and Richardson explained that he had put F.L. down for a nap and when he checked on her sometime later, he observed vomit coming out of her mouth and called for help.   F.L. was resuscitated, but died at the hospital.

Quote:Records that could potentially identify dozens of transgender inmates in Washington’s state prisons must remain sealed for now, a federal judge in Spokane ruled Monday.


U.S. District Court Judge Thomas O. Rice granted a preliminary order sought by five unnamed transgender inmates, represented by Disability Rights Washington and the American Civil Liberties Union. The order prohibits the Washington Department of Corrections from releasing records sought by the Tacoma News Tribune, KIRO Radio and several other requesters regarding any complaints made against transgender inmates at the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Gig Harbor following an anonymous report of sexual violence there earlier this spring.
