DNA Evidence Sent Anthony Sanchez to Death Row. But Did It Actually Solve the Crime?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:56:56 GMT

Charlotte Beattie couldn’t say when she began to suspect that her boyfriend had committed the murder that sent his own son to death row. It probably crossed her mind almost 20 years ago, when an Oklahoma City police detective showed up to ask about Anthony Sanchez, who had been charged with killing a young woman found at a nearby lake. Jewell “Juli” Busken, a 21-year-old ballet student at the University of Oklahoma, was raped and murdered just before Christmas in 1996. The case remained cold until 2004, when Sanchez’s DNA was linked to the crime. But when the homicide detective showed Beattie a forensic artist’s sketch of the supposed killer, it didn’t look like Sanchez, she recalled. It looked more like his father, Glen.Like many who knew Sanchez, Beattie couldn’t believe he’d committed such a horrible crime. She’d never known him to be violent — not like Glen, who could be terrifying. One Valentine’s Day, she said, Glen put a gun to his head at his home in Norman, Oklahoma, only t...

STAT WATCH: Colorado State’s penalty problems are not exclusive to their loss to Buffaloes

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:56:56 GMT

From Colorado State’s perspective, its school-record number of penalties was largely to blame for its devastating loss at Colorado. “I can’t even speak about it, it’s so ridiculous,” coach Jay Norvell said after the 43-35 loss in two overtimes. “And it’s a real shame because a lot of those penalties took away a lot of great effort from our kids.”Saturday night wasn’t a one-off for CSU. The Rams have gone 3-11 under Norvell, and undisciplined play has been a persistent problem.Of the 17 penalties the Rams committed against Colorado, 11 were 15-yarders — two on the same play when Henry Blackburn was flagged for pass interference and Ayden Hector was called for unsportsmanlike conduct after a late hit sent two-way star Travis Hunter to the hospital.There also were four blocks below the waist, two other unsportsmanlike conducts, a chop block, facemask and targeting.CSU’s top three single-game penalty totals have occurred over the past 10 games — 13 ag...

Liz Truss: I didn’t crash the economy

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:56:56 GMT

LONDON — Liz Truss struck firmly to her guns in a defiant speech Monday as Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister defended her chaotic economic legacy. Addressing the Institute for Government think tank, Truss blamed the media, the opposition Labour Party, and economic orthodoxy for her downfall during her 49 days in office.And she argued that the “reaction” from the “political and economic establishment” to her policies was the reason they failed.Pressed in the Q&A on the claim she “crashed the economy,” Truss shot back: “I do want to challenge this phrase ‘crashed the economy.’“The fact is that since I left office both mortgage rates and gilt rates have gone higher than they were at the time of the mini-budget. So I do think you are repeating a line to take from the Labour Party when you say that.”Truss’ mini-budget — officially billed as the “Plan for Growth” — aimed to slash taxes and cut regulations. But t...

China blasts Germany after Baerbock calls Xi Jinping a ‘dictator’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:56:56 GMT

China on Monday condemned German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock after she labeled Chinese President Xi Jinping a “dictator.”“China is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposes the German side’s remarks, which are extremely absurd, a serious infringement of China’s political dignity and an open political provocation,” China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Monday according to local news. “China has made serious inquiries to the German side through diplomatic channels,” she added. Last week, Baerbock gave an interview to Fox News underlining Germany’s support for Ukraine — in which she fired a broadside at Xi. “If Putin were to win this war, what sign would that be for other dictators in the world, like Xi, like the Chinese president?” the foreign minister said. In recent months, Baerbock has been a sharp-tongued critic of the Chinese government. She has questioned China’s global ambitio...
