Gabonese National Pleads Guilty to Foreign Bribery Scheme Defendant Bribed High-Ranking Government Officials in Multiple African Countries to Obtain Uranium Concessions and Other Mining Rights for Himself and Others The son of a former Prime Minister of Gabon pleaded guilty earlier today in federal court to conspiring to make corrupt payments to government officials in Africa in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ( FCPA ) . Deputy Assistant Attorney General Sung-Hee Suh of the Justice Department ’ s Criminal Division , U.S. Attorney Robert L. Capers of the Eastern District of New York , Assistant Director in Charge William F. Sweeney Jr. of the FBI ’ s New York Field Office and Acting Special Agent in Charge Ronald L. Whitsett of the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation ( IRS-CI ) , New York made the announcement . Samuel Mebiame , 43 , a Gabonese national , worked as a consultant to a mining company that was owned by a joint venture between Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC ( Och-Ziff ) , a New York-based hedge fund management company , and an entity incorporated in Turks and Caicos . According to court documents , between at least 2007 and 2012 , Mebiame worked as a “ fixer ” for the joint venture and conspired with others to pay bribes to high-level government officials in Chad and Niger in order to obtain business opportunities and mining rights for the joint venture in both of those countries . In addition , Mebiame paid bribes to high-level government officials in Guinea as an agent of the Turks and Caicos entity to obtain business opportunities and mining rights in that country . In addition , according to court documents , the bribes paid by Mebiame to the high-ranking government officials were often masked through additional intermediaries or lawyers . In Niger , Mebiame paid more than $ 3 million in bribes to a high-ranking government official both directly and through intermediary agents , who were selected by the government official . Mebiame also made payments for luxury cars for that foreign official . In return , Mebiame obtained licenses for uranium concessions for the joint venture from the government of Niger . Similarly , in Chad , Mebiame bribed a high-ranking government official with cash payments and luxury foreign travel for the official and the official ’ s wife . In return , Mebiame obtained uranium concessions for the joint venture , including an asset which had been stripped from a French-owned company by the Chadian government at Mebiame ’ s urging . In Guinea , during a time when the conspirators were seeking to establish a state-owned mining company there , Mebiame made corrupt payments to gain special access to senior Guinean government officials . Mebiame provided the officials with cash and other benefits , including an S-Class Mercedes Benz vehicle and the use of private planes , in exchange for special access and confidential information . On Sept. 29 , 2016 , in connection with the government ’ s investigation , Och-Ziff was charged pursuant to a criminal information with violations of the FCPA ’ s anti-bribery , books and records , and accounting controls violations for conduct in Libya and the Democratic Republic of Congo , and conduct in Chad and Niger connected to Mebiame ’ s conduct . Och-Ziff entered into a deferred prosecution agreement in connection with those charges . An Och-Ziff subsidiary company , OZ Africa Management GP LLC ( OZ Africa ) , pleaded guilty to a one-count criminal information related to large-scale bribe payments in the Democratic Republic of Congo . OZ Africa is scheduled to be sentenced on March 29 , 2017 . The FBI ’ s New York Field Office and IRS-CI New York are investigating the case . Assistant Chief Leo R. Tsao and Trial Attorney James P. McDonald of the Criminal Division ’ s Fraud Section and Assistant U.S . Attorneys James P. Loonam , Jonathan P. Lax and David Pitluck of the Eastern District of New York are prosecuting the case . The Criminal Division ’ s Office of International Affairs provided significant assistance in this matter . The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ’ s Boston Regional Office provided significant cooperation .

SAN ANTONIO — Up until three months ago , Dennis Casillas was among the Bexar County Sheriff 's Office 's Command Staff comprised of the agency 's top brass . Now , he 's running to unseat the sheriff for whom he once worked . Casillas , who quietly retired in March , broke his silence on Facebook earlier this month , scrutinizing Sheriff Javier Salazar and his administration . `` His total mismanagement of the agency has caused the termination , resignation and retirement of two thirds of his command staff , six out of ten Chiefs , '' Casillas wrote . `` This includes his Chief Deputy , an Assistant Chief and four Deputy Chiefs . '' Casillas is among the deputy chiefs to retire . Casillas 's lengthy post ended in a call to action , writing , `` I know time is short , but I can no longer sit on the sidelines and watch the agency I love go down in flames under the current administration that cares nothing about its biggest assets — its Civilian and Sworn employees . I ask that all my FB family and friends spread the word . It ’ s time for change at the BCSO . Vote for the write in candidate for BCSO Sheriff , Dennis Casillas . '' Salazar described Casillas as a disgruntled employee when asked about Casillas 's Facebook post . `` Like most sheriffs and chiefs in this in this country right now , my priorities lie elsewhere other than politics . While , yes , that 's that 's an important part of what we do , right now , we 're so focused on policies and reform and , of course , this pandemic that we 're in the middle of , '' Salazar said . `` Not to mention our regular occurrences of crime that are going on in the county . We 're very concentrated on that . So , I mean , you 've got a disgruntled former employee that 's got an ax to grind . '' `` I 'm going to let that speak for itself and I wo n't get too far into it . Just suffice it to say , I 'm just gon na keep doing my job the way I 've been doing . '' Salazar said he was unable to comment further on what he meant by Casillas having an ax to grind . Casillas said although he does not have an ax to grind , `` if ( the Sheriff ) would have been doing his job , there would be no need for an ax to grind . '' Casillas , who spent nearly 40 years with the sheriff 's office , said he harbors no ill will toward Salazar . `` I just know that he 's not the right man for the job , '' he said . Salazar is set to face off against republican candidate and former Bexar County Clerk Gerry Rickhoff . Casillas said Rickhoff 's background is why he felt it important to take steps toward becoming a write in candidate . `` The man might have been a wonderful county clerk for some , but he has no law enforcement experience whatsoever , '' Casillas said . According to the Secretary of State website , Casillas will have to pay a filing fee or get 500 people to sign a nomination petition in order to appear on the November ballot .

Published : 2004-01-25 05:14:00 Updated : 2004-01-25 05:14:00 Sabres Send Hurricanes Fans Home Disappointed Posted January 25 , 2004 RALEIGH , N.C. — Though the official attendance was listed at 17,596 , a sparse crowd attended Sunday 's NHL game between the Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres because of a winter storm that dumped snow and sleet on much of the state . As they tried to navigate the icy roads on their way home after the game , the fans probably wondered why they took such a chance to see the Canes win . Instead of seeing the Canes win , they saw Jochen Hecht and Martin Biron rally the Sabres from a deficit . Hecht had two goals and Biron 37 saves , helping the Sabres erase a two-goal deficit and beat the Hurricanes , 4-2 . Derek Roy 's third-period goal put the Sabres ahead to stay , and Milan Bartovic added a goal and an assist . Entering the game , the Sabres were 4-18-2 when they allowed the first goal , and 1-12-1 when trailing after the first period . None of that mattered Sunday as the Sabres took advantage of mistakes by Carolina goaltender Jamie Storr . `` It does n't happen very often , '' Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said . `` It would 've been an easy game to go the other way , but we came back . '' Erik Cole and Kevyn Adams scored for the Hurricanes , who had a 39-21 advantage in shots . Roy 's second goal of the season gave the Sabres the lead and sent Carolina to its fourth straight home loss . After a turnover by defenseman Bruno St. Jacques in the Carolina zone , Bartovic shot on Storr , who made the save but failed to control the puck . Roy pushed the rebound into the left side of the net at 5:15 for a 3-2 lead . It was just one of three goals that came off miscues by Storr . The Sabres scored twice off rebounds . Bartovic scored Buffalo 's first goal off a shot by Andy Delmore , poking the puck past Storr at 3:55 of the second period . Hecht scored an insurance goal when he stole Storr 's pass along the boards and beat the goaltender back to the net at 18:31 of the third . Storr , the backup to Kevin Weekes , took responsibility for the loss . `` If I had made key saves at key times , there 's no way we should 've come out of this game without at least a tie , and we should 've had a win , '' Storr said . Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette did n't blame his goaltender . `` We 're not here to try hard , '' he said . `` We 've got to win games , '' he said . `` So I 'm failing miserably , the players are failing miserably . `` Our fans are coming out and waiting for something to cheer about , and we 're failing miserably at that as well . '' Carolina charged to an early lead when Cole took Radim Vrbata 's pass from behind the net and beat Biron from the left side at 4:06 of the first . The Hurricanes led 2-0 on Adams ' short-handed goal early in the second . After racing up the ice on a turnover , he hesitated on the shot to let a sprawled-out Delmore slide by before beating Biron at 2:14 . The Sabres closed the gap with Bartovic 's goal , and Hecht tied it midway through the period , sidestepping defender Niclas Wallin and scoring on a shot from the left circle . Biron also had three big stops late in the period , turning back shots by Ron Francis , and Justin Williams , and making a diving stop on a shot by Josef Vasicek after getting caught behind the net . `` When your goaltender is on his game , it really helps a lot , '' Roy said . `` You can rely on him , take more chances , and it lets you play harder .

Illinois Man Admits Plotting To Bomb Federal Courthouse And Is Sentenced To 28 Years In Prison East St. Louis , Ill. – Michael C. Finton , aka “ Talib Islam , ” pleaded guilty today to attempting to bomb the federal courthouse in Springfield in September 2009 and was immediately sentenced to serve 28 years in prison , announced Todd Hinnen , Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security , U.S. Attorney James A. Lewis of the Central District of Illinois , and Armando Fernandez , Acting Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Springfield Division . At a hearing today in East St. Louis , Ill. , Finton , 31 , a U.S. citizen and resident of Decatur , Ill. , appeared before U.S. District Judge David R. Herndon and entered a plea of guilty to one count of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction ( an explosive bomb ) against property owned by the United States . Judge Herndon sentenced Finton to 336 months in prison in accordance with the terms of his plea agreement with the government . “ Michael Finton is one of a number of young Americans over the past two years who , under the influence of a radical and violent ideology , have sought to carry out acts of terrorism in the United States , ” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Hinnen . “ Although a coordinated undercover law enforcement investigation thwarted Mr. Finton 's plot to destroy the federal courthouse in Springfield , Illinois , this case underscores the need to remain vigilant against the threat posed by homegrown extremism. ” “ Michael Finton tried to bomb our federal courthouse with the intent to kill innocent civilians , committed public servants and dedicated first responders , ” said U.S. Attorney Lewis . “ This terrible attempt was prevented through the excellent investigative work of the Springfield FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and assisting law enforcement agencies. ” “ The investigation of Michael Finton is a significant accomplishment in the FBI ’ s mission to protect the United States from terrorist attack . The dedication and professionalism of the Springfield Joint Terrorism Task Force and the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office in this case have made America safer , ” said FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Fernandez . According to the plea agreement and other documents filed in court , Finton admitted that on Sept. 23 , 2009 , he traveled from Decatur to Springfield , where he knowingly took possession of a truck that he believed contained a bomb with approximately one ton of explosives . The explosive device was actually inert . Finton drove the truck to the Paul Findley Federal Building and Courthouse , at 600 East Monroe Street , where he parked immediately outside the federal building and across the street from an office used by a U.S . Congressman . At the time he parked the truck , Finton activated a timer connected to the explosive device , which he believed was large enough to destroy the federal building and the Congressman ’ s office . After Finton parked the van and armed the device , he locked the truck and got into a vehicle with an undercover law enforcement agent whom he believed was associated with the al-Qaeda terrorist organization . Finton then used a cell phone to attempt to remotely detonate the purported bomb after he and the undercover agent had driven a safe distance away . Prior to Sept. 23 , 2009 , according to filed court documents , Finton met on several occasions with an undercover law enforcement officer whom Finton believed was acting on behalf of al-Qaeda . During a meeting on July 29 , 2009 , Finton proposed the federal building in Springfield as a target and proposed that two vehicle-borne bombs be used , the first to do the initial damage , and the second to attack the responders . Finton also suggested that if the bomb was big enough it might also “ take out ” the office of the Congressman across the street from thefederal building . Finton has remained detained in the custody of the U.S . Marshals Service since his arrest on Sept. 23 , 2009 .

LINCOLN — A near head-on collision with a drunk driver five years ago changed Ernie Newquist ’ s life forever . It left the Lincoln man in constant pain and required surgeries on his left shoulder , knees and lower back . It also cost him his marriage of 29 years . While his wife survived the wreck without physical injury , he said , the trauma she endured and the depression that came with his injuries were too much for the couple . On Friday , Newquist spoke for a legislative proposal aimed at making it easier for victims and families to win judgments against drunk drivers . “ This individual has impacted my family forever , ” he told members of the Judiciary Committee . Newquist was joined in support of Legislative Bill 84 by Michelle Root , the mother of Sarah Root , a young woman killed in a car crash one year ago . The man who authorities say was responsible , who was in the United States illegally , was intoxicated and street racing at the time of the crash , prosecutors say . He remains at large after disappearing while on bail . People are also reading… Michelle Root said the proposal is needed for the time when that driver is brought to justice . LB 84 , introduced by State Sen. Carol Blood of Bellevue , would allow juries in civil lawsuits to hear evidence that a defendant had been driving drunk at the time of a crash leading to injury or death . Blood said it is critical for juries to understand the cause of a wreck because that information could affect the determination of damages . Currently , judges can bar evidence of drunken driving from being presented in a civil case if the defendant has admitted that his or her negligence caused a crash . The prohibition is based on a Nebraska Supreme Court ruling that said such information can unfairly prejudice a jury against a defendant , when the defendant already has accepted liability for the crash . Jim Harris , an Omaha attorney who has represented plaintiffs in such lawsuits , said he disagreed with the ruling because it prevents juries from being able to determine damages properly . “ It ’ s blatantly unfair to the victims of this and it gives drunk drivers a free pass , ” he said . But several committee members questioned whether the bill would open the door for juries to award damages based on their feelings about drunken driving . “ I think that what we ’ re doing is creating de facto punitive damages , ” said Sen. Adam Morfeld of Lincoln , adding that Nebraska bans punitive damages . Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha questioned whether evidence that a driver was drunk would inform or inflame the jury . Currently , judges can bar evidence of drunken driving from being presented in a civil case if the defendant has admitted that his or her negligence caused a crash . Omaha attorney Matt Lathrop said his experience is that if evidence of drunken driving is not allowed , juries are more sympathetic to the defendant . They also may not understand the psychological injuries suffered by survivors of drunken driving crashes , he said . But Andrea Snowden , speaking for the Nebraska Defense Counsel Association , said the bill would threaten the current system , in which criminal courts mete out punishment for driving drunk while civil courts provide compensation for victims ’ injuries . She said the proposal would discourage people from admitting negligence and lead to longer and more costly litigation . martha.stoddard @ owh.com , 402-473-9583

Seven Colombian Nationals Charged In Connection With The Murder Of A DEA Agent Extradited To The United States ALEXANDRIA , Va. – Seven Colombian nationals were extradited to the United States to face charges relating to the kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ) Special Agent James Terry Watson . Attorney General Eric H. Holder , Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department ’ s Criminal Division , U.S. Attorney Dana J. Boente for the Eastern District of Virginia , Special Agent in Charge George L. Piro of the FBI ’ s Miami Field Office , DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart and Director Bill A. Miller of the State Department ’ s Diplomatic Security Service ( DSS ) made the announcement . “ With the extradition of these suspects , we are one step closer to ensuring that justice is served for the kidnapping and murder of an American hero , ” said Attorney General Holder . “ Special Agent Watson gave his life in the service of his country . We owe him , and his family , a debt of gratitude we can never fully repay . The Justice Department will never waver in our commitment to ensure that those who commit acts of violence against our best and bravest can be caught and held accountable. ” “ DEA Special Agent James ‘ Terry ’ Watson was a brave and talented special agent who represented everything good about federal law enforcement and our DEA family , ” said DEA Administrator Leonhart . “ We will never forget Terry ’ s sacrifice on behalf of the American people during his 13 years of service , nor will DEA ever forget the outstanding work of the Colombian National Police and our other law enforcement partners . Their efforts quickly led to the arrest and extradition of those accused of committing this heinous act. ” All of the defendants were indicted by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on July 18 , 2013 . Gerardo Figueroa Sepulveda , 39 ; Omar Fabian Valdes Gualtero , 27 ; Edgar Javier Bello Murillo , 27 ; Hector Leonardo Lopez , 34 ; Julio Estiven Gracia Ramirez , 31 ; and Andrés Alvaro Oviedo-Garcia , 22 , were each charged with two counts of second degree murder , one count of kidnapping and one count of conspiracy to kidnap . Oviedo-Garcia was also charged with two counts of assault . Additionally , the grand jury indicted Wilson Daniel Peralta-Bocachica , 31 , also a Colombian national , for his alleged efforts to destroy evidence associated with the murder of Special Agent Watson . The defendants arrived in the United States on July 1 , 2014 , and made their initial appearance in federal court in Alexandria , Virginia , today before United States Magistrate Judge Thomas Rawles Jones Jr. A detention hearing is scheduled for July 9 , 2014 , before United States Magistrate Judge Ivan D. Davis . According to the indictment , Figueroa , Valdes , Bello , Lopez , Gracia and Oviedo-Garcia were part of a kidnapping and robbery conspiracy that utilized taxi cabs in Bogotà , Colombia , to lure victims into a position where they could be attacked and robbed . Once an intended victim entered a taxi cab , the driver of the taxi cab would signal other conspirators to commence the robbery and kidnapping operation . The indictment alleges that on June 20 , 2013 , while he was working for the U.S. Mission in Colombia , Special Agent Watson entered a taxi cab operated by one of the defendants . Special Agent Watson was then allegedly attacked by two other defendants – one who stunned Special Agent Watson with a stun gun and another who stabbed Special Agent Watson with a knife , resulting in his death . On July 1 , 2014 , the Government of Colombia extradited the defendants to the United States . This case was investigated by the FBI , DEA and DSS , including the Office of Special Investigations and the Regional Security Office at Embassy Bogatà , in close cooperation with Colombian authorities , and with assistance from INTERPOL and the Justice Department ’ s Office of International Affairs . The case is being prosecuted by Special Counsel Stacy Luck of the Criminal Division ’ s Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael P. Ben ’ Ary from the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia . The Department of Justice gratefully acknowledges the Colombian Attorney General ’ s Office , Colombian National Police , Colombian Directorate of Criminal Investigation and Interpol ( DIJIN ) , DIJIN Special Investigative Unit , Bogotà Metropolitan Police , Bogotà Police Intelligence Body ( CIPOL ) Unit and Colombian Technical Investigation Team for their extraordinary efforts , support and professionalism in responding to this incident.The charges in the indictment are merely accusations , and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty .

Advertisement FOLLOW ON TORONTO -- TORONTO - Three of Canada 's premiers will announce Sunday a plan to fight climate change by working together on small nuclear reactors , a company that 's developing the technology said Saturday . New Brunswick-based ARC Nuclear Canada said in a news release that its president will attend a signing ceremony Sunday between the provinces of New Brunswick , Ontario and Saskatchewan to work in collaboration on the modular reactors `` in an effort to mitigate the effects of climate change . '' The Ontario government said Premier Doug Ford will meet with Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs for an announcement at a hotel near Pearson International Airport on Sunday afternoon . A spokesman with Moe 's office confirmed the announcement is connected to an agreement on technology for small modular reactors , while a spokeswoman for Ford 's office said it 's an agreement to work together to determine the best technologies for the deployment of small modular reactors in Canada . Moe said earlier this month that nuclear power has to be deployed in a big way around the world to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions , noting his province is well positioned to support more nuclear power with its large reserves of high-grade uranium ore. All three of the premiers are opponents of the federally mandated carbon tax .

Scott Pruitt , the former Oklahoma attorney general who sued the US Environmental Protection Agency to block rules against toxic air pollution , is now the head of the agency . Pruitt was confirmed in a Senate vote today , 52-46 . His ties to climate-change deniers and the fossil-fuel industry ( and the 13 lawsuits he has filed alongside oil and gas companies against the EPA ) made him a particularly controversial appointee to lead the agency . “ Scott Pruitt represents what we environmental lawyers call an ‘ imminent and substantial endangerment ’ to our health and environment , ” Ellen Spitalnik , a former EPA attorney who served Republican and Democratic administrations from 1980 to 2002 , said in a statement . She along with nearly 800 former EPA employees signed a letter opposing Pruitt for administrator . “ He threatens the very integrity of EPA and must not be allowed to continue shutting down environmental enforcement , disregarding science , and putting private interests above public good. ” In one scandal , Pruitt received a letter drafted by a major oil and gas company , put his letterhead on it , and sent it to the EPA as an official complaint from the Oklahoma attorney general ’ s office . In a report on the letter , the New York Times called it evidence of an “ unprecedented , secretive alliance ” between Pruitt and the oil and gas industry . Among his lawsuits against the EPA were efforts to undermine the agency ’ s Mercury and Air Toxics Standards , which went into effect in 2012 . They limit the amount of mercury , cyanide , acid gas , and other toxic chemicals that power plants can legally emit . Pruitt also sued to block the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule , which curbs power plant emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides but has yet to take effect—it is scheduled to be effective in May of this year . To finalize rules like these , the EPA always has to quantify the benefits : In studies of both rules , each were found to prevent the premature deaths of tens of thousands of Americans per year . During Pruitt ’ s Senate confirmation hearing , John Barrasso , a Republican senator from Wyoming , remarked that Pruitt enjoys the support of the Cornwall Alliance , an Evangelical organization that considers the scientific consensus on climate change a product of “ sin , ” and environmentalism to be a “ native evil. ” Cataclysmic climate change can ’ t exist , the group says , because God ’ s intelligent design is flawless , and would not allow it to happen . The organization reportedly has financial ties to the US oil billionaire Koch brothers . All this , combined with president Donald Trump ’ s promises to gut the EPA and early steps taken to prevent EPA employees from talking to the public , has current EPA employees bracing for the worst . With Pruitt now in place as administrator , a budget for the EPA ’ s next fiscal year will likely be published soon , which will help determine whether the agency will still have the staff and funds necessary to enforce environmental and public health regulations .

WASHINGTON –Joseph P. Nacchio , 57 , the former chief executive officer of Qwest Communications International Inc. , was sentenced to 6 years in prison for insider trading , the Justice Department announced today . Chief U.S. District Judge Edward Nottingham for the District of Colorado also ordered Nacchio to forfeit $ 52 million , pay a $ 19 million fine and serve two years of supervised release . On April 19 , 2007 , a federal jury convicted Nacchio of 19 counts of insider trading , covering $ 52 million in stock sales . The conviction came after 15 days at trial and six days of deliberation . “ Today ’ s prison sentence of 72 months holds Mr. Nacchio accountable for lining his pockets at the expense of investors , ” said Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher . “ The Justice Department will continue to pursue corporate fraud cases to ensure the integrity and transparency of our financial marketplace. ” “ In an age of cynicism , justice can still prevail and even inspire , ” said U.S. Attorney Troy A. Eid of the District of Colorado . “ This is one of those moments. ” Nacchio served as Qwest ’ s chief executive officer and was a member of the company ’ s board of directors from about January 1997 through June 2002 . According to the indictment , Nacchio sold Qwest stock from January to September 2001 when he knew , but did not disclose publicly , that Qwest was unlikely to continue to meet its publicly announced earnings targets as that year progressed . Federal law prohibits corporate insiders , such as officers or directors , from trading on material information regarding the company ’ s stock that has not been publicly disclosed . In particular , the indictment states that Nacchio knew that Qwest ’ s 2001 financial targets were overly aggressive , that Qwest did not have a good track record in growing recurring revenue , that the company ’ s business units were underperforming , and that there would be insufficient non-recurring revenue sources to close the gap between Qwest ’ s publicly stated financial targets and its actual performance . It further states that Nacchio was specifically warned about this information . The Nacchio investigation was conducted by the FBI and the U.S . Postal Inspection Service . The case was prosecuted by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Cliff Stricklin and Assistant U.S . Attorneys James Hearty and Kevin Traskos of the District of Colorado , and Senior Litigation Counsel Colleen Conry and Trial Attorney Leo Wise from the Criminal Division ’ s Fraud Section at the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington , D.C. # # # 07-559

BOSTON ( AP ) — The fiancee of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez spoke publicly for the first time since the release of a documentary series examining his life more than two years after he killed himself in his prison cell . Hernandez 's fiancee , Shayanna Jenkins , said she was unaware that the late New England Patriots tight end was bisexual in an interview with `` Good Morning America '' Wednesday morning . Jenkins said she `` would not have loved him differently '' if he had told her . `` Although I have a child with Aaron , I still ca n't tell you how he was feeling inside , '' Jenkins said . `` No one can . '' Hernandez killed himself in 2017 while serving a life sentenced for murdering his friend , Odin Lloyd , in 2013 . He had been acquitted of most charges in a separate double murder case just a few days before his death . After his death , doctors found Hernandez had advanced chronic traumatic encephalopathy , a degenerative brain disease linked to head trauma . CTE , which can be diagnosed only after death , has been found in more than 100 former NFL players and in dozens more athletes and members of the military who have been exposed to repetitive head trauma . The disease can lead to memory loss , depression and even suicide . ( © Copyright 2020 The Associated Press . All Rights Reserved .
