Sweden sentences terrorist to life imprisonment over martyr al-Kasasbeh's execution
Presiding judge Anna Liljenberg Gullesjö said that the evidence has shown that the defendant was at the execution site, uniformed and armed, and let himself be filmed. The film and the further evidence have shown that it was another man who lit the fire and thereby directly caused the death of al-Kasasbeh. However, the District Court has found that the defendant, through his actions, contributed so actively to the death of the pilot that he should be considered a perpetrator.

U.S. Senate confirms Jeanine Pirro as top federal prosecutor for D.C.
Ammon News - The U.S. Senate on Saturday confirmed former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia in a 50-45 vote along party lines. The 74-year-old Trump loyalist previously served as a judge and prosecutor in Westchester County, New York and has been interim U.S. attorney since May. Trump yanked Martin's nomination after a key Republican senator said he could not support him due to Martin's outspoken support for rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Martin now serves as the Justice Department's pardon attorney. Last month, Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to send Pirro's nomination to the Senate floor after Democrats walked out to protest Emil Bove's nomination to become a federal appeals court judge. Pirro, a 1975 graduate of Albany Law School, has significantly more courtroom experience than Martin, who had never served as a prosecutor or tried a case before taking office in January. She was elected as a judge in New York's Westchester County Court in 1990 before serving three terms as the county's elected district attorney.
