Evidence had been given in the enquiry that up to 300 gunmen were in Tivoli Gardens in May 2010 to defend Coke who was wanted in the US at the time on drugs and gunrunning charges.

Brown Ellis testified also that three of the bodies recovered belonged to women she identified as Gloria Smith, Petrina Edwards and Carlene McKenzie.

“I came to know these women like sisters; I was with them so long,” said Brown Ellis, referring to the forensic processing and identification process.

Italy Considers Conjugal Visits For Inmates

  

Prisoners in Italy could soon have a legal right to six to 24 hours of love making each month. The Italian parliament was scheduled to debate a “right to intimacy” bill Wednesday that would allow once-a-month conjugal visits from spouses, partners and acquaintances.

The Italian law, should it pass, would create “love rooms” for prisoners to spend time with their visitor without video or audio surveillance, according to the Local. Hearings for consideration of the bill will include testimony from inmates from a maximum security prison and their partners. They were expected to tell lawmakers about their experience having a relationship with another person when separated by bars.

A law of this sort would allow Italy to join much of the rest of Europe in that regard. Germany, Denmark and Spain all allow inmates to get together with loved ones every six to eight weeks. Those prisoners are given private rooms, condoms and bathing amenities.

Conjugal visits aren’t the norm everywhere. In the United States, extended visits are offered in only four states: California, Connecticut, New York and Washington, according to the Marshall Project. Federal prisons do not allow private visits. States have been slowly revoking the right. Last April, New Mexico suspended the privilege when it was discovered that a convicted killer had fathered four children as a result of the visits.

British Man Passes Out Partying; Awakes With Rayban Shades Tattoo

Ok, so where do I begin?

A man awakes from a long night of ferocious partying to find a pair of (hideous) Rayban shades tattooed on his face. 

The man said that he passed out (drunk and/or high) & didn’t feel a thing. 

Now, I have a few tats myself and for anyone who has been inked, you KNOW when you’re getting inked. It’s a indescribable feeling, something like a blade ripping your skin, so for him to sleep through a face tat is pretty astonishing. 

Those must have been some helluva drugs he was on! Clearly his friends aren’t his friends. 

Peep the story.

Join the discussion.
  
A man woke up with more than a hangover after a British bachelor party.

He looked in the mirror to find a pair of glasses permanently tattoed on his face.

According to The Sun, the man had no memory of getting the tattoo. 

“Waking up the morning after, I thought someone had used a permanent marker on my face,” he said. “I had no memory of getting the tattoo because I had gone out celebrating, and when it happened, I was drunk.

“Rayban” was etched along the side of his face between the lines of the tattooed frame.

It’s been years since he got the ink.

“When I first came home, obviously I was subject to a lot of stares, but I kind of got used to the tattoo and decided not to get rid of it,” he said.

It wasn’t until a confrontation during a night out with friends that he began to rethink his decision to keep the tattoo.

“The next morning I really started to think about what my family and friends thought,” the man said. “I didn’t want them to be embarrassed when they were out with me, so I decided there and then I was going to get it removed.”

So he went to 1192 Laser and Beauty Clinic in Swansea, South Wales to have the tattoo removed.

The shop’s owner, Donnalee Alford, said it was one of the worst tattoos he’d ever seen.

The man completed six treatments to remove the tattoo.

After the treatments, only some temporary turquoise markings remained on the man’s face.

“All I can say is that the whole process was amazing,” he said. “There is no scarring, and when friends who haven’t seen me for months come over, they always notice something is different. When they realize the tattoo is gone, they are shocked about how well the treatment has worked.”

“Tattoos have become more and more popular in recent years, but research shows one in six people hate their tattoos and more than half regret having them done in the first place,” Alford said.
