Frozen turkey case. Six months. The injured driver advocated for leniency. The confederates of the thrower got even less.

“Anthony Ruvolo says his aunt died Monday. The cause is not known, and it’s unclear whether the old injuries contributed to her death.

“Newsday says every bone in Ruvolo’s face was shattered and the steering wheel bent when the teenager threw the 20-pound turkey at her car.

“She endured reconstructive surgery and months of rehabilitation.”

Man killed baby by dropping bowling ball, sentenced up to ten years. Why would you ever charge less than murder?

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) _ A man was convicted Friday of throwing a bowling ball off an overpass and through a windshield, killing an 8-month-old girl.

Calvin Settle, 19, was found guilty of manslaughter in the 1994 death of Natalia Rivera of New York City and could get up to 10 years in prison April 7.

Settle had testified that the 16-pound ball had slipped out of his hands as he stood on the overpass. But two boys, ages 11 and 12, who were with Settle at the time said he heaved the ball onto the highway as a car passed underneath.

The ball bounced off a truck and hit Santos and Donna Rivera’s car, killing their daughter in her car seat.
