Editorial: Was taking McClain’s killers to trial the right thing to do?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:18:12 GMT

Coloradans have known one heartbreaking truth for four long years: Without the aggressive and callous actions of three Aurora police officers and two paramedics, Elijah McClain would be alive today.And now, after the first prosecutor on the case refused to take the homicide to trial, Coloradans know another truth: There was not enough evidence to convince a jury that two of those officers’ actions were criminal. Only Aurora police officer Randy Roedema was convicted, and even then, jurors found him guilty of the lesser charges he faced — criminally negligent homicide and third-degree assault.As we await the trial of the two paramedics who injected McClain as he lay restrained and unconscious on the ground with an overdose of ketamine, Coloradans may begin to wonder if the initial prosecutor, District Attorney Dave Young, was correct in his decision not to press charges.Was this outcome really worth the time, effort, and expense put forth by Colorado’s Attorney General Phil We...

Finally, a make-ahead turkey that’s ready to travel

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:18:12 GMT

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesIn a perfect world, you’d always be able to serve your Thanksgiving turkey directly after its sojourn in the oven. It’s the best way to take advantage of the bird’s crisp juiciness and meaty aroma — not to mention a chance to hide in the kitchen from football games.But what if you have to drive your cooked turkey an hour away to a Friendsgiving? Or you need room in your oven for pie? Or you’d simply prefer to wake up on Thursday morning secure in the knowledge that the trickiest part of your feast is already waiting for you in the fridge?Whatever the reason, there are times when you need a killer make-ahead turkey recipe, and I’ve found the way.It took several weeks of testing and a dozen birds to get the result I wanted: a reheated turkey that tastes very nearly as good as it did right after roasting, with a juicy breast, tender dark meat and glistening, crispy skin.It also had to be food safe — because Thanksgiving is stressful enoug...

Donald Trump’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry dead at 86: Reports

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:18:12 GMT

Former President Donald Trump’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry has died at the age of 86, according to multiple outlets. The New York Times first reported that she was found dead at her home in the Upper East Side of Manhattan early Monday morning.
