Days before murder trial, Mass. man pleads guilty to killing man in shooting
A Brockton man pleaded guilty to a man's death in a shooting in 2012 after jury selection was completed before his murder trial, Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz's office said Thursday. Jerome Almonor, 37, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, two counts of armed assault with an attempt to rob, one count of unlawful possession of a sawed-off shotgun, one count of unlawful possession of ammunition with an FID card, one count of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of witness intimidation. Almonor was sentenced to life in prison with the chance for parole after 20 years in prison, Cruz's office said in a statement. 'Since 2012, Jerome Almonor has known that he murdered 36-year-old Lonnie Robinson,' Cruz said in his statement. 'Our office was prepared for trial, a jury was selected and only today did Almonor take responsibility for his actions. I hope that he can reflect on those actions in prison and that the family of his helpless victim finds some peace.' On Aug. 10, 2012, Brockton police and Massachusetts State Police learned of a shooting on Perkins Street and found a man unresponsive, the statement read. The man, Robinson, was slumped inside a car with a shotgun wound and died after he was taken to the hospital. Investigators identified Almonor and co-defendant Dominic Tassy, 41, and arrested them. Tassy was convicted of second-degree murder and witness intimidation and was sentenced to life in prison, Cruz's office said. As Almonor awaited trial, cell phone data obtained via a warrant was used to initially find and locate him before his arrest, the statement read. Exigent circumstances in this case led to the data on his phone not being suppressed. The Supreme Judicial Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ruled that this set the precedent for how cell phone data would be obtained during criminal investigations.

Texas Democrat decries rhetoric over quorum break: ‘Words have consequences'
One of the Texas Democrats who fled her state over a GOP plan to draw new state House district lines said rhetoric from the right is putting a 'dangerous target' on state lawmakers' backs. 'I'm terrified at the rhetoric coming from both my colleagues, the governor, the attorney general and the president. It's putting a dangerous target on our backs,' Democratic state Rep. Mary Gonzalez said on a call with reporters. 'Words have consequences. And in a moment in time like right now, when you're saying 'Hunt them down. Here's [their] location. Go get them,' what do they think is going to happen?' More than 50 Texas Democratic state legislators broke quorum over the weekend, depriving the state House of the numbers it needs to move forward with a redistricting proposal backed by President Trump. The Democrats fanned out to blue strongholds, including Illinois and New York, to try and wait out the ongoing 30-day special session in the Lone Star State. But Republican Sen. John Cornyn (Texas) announced on Thursday that the FBI had approved his request to help law enforcement locate and arrest the quorum-breaking Democrats. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) later said that the FBI is 'tracking down the derelict Democrats,' who would be taken to the Texas Capitol. Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has said 'we should use every tool at our disposal to hunt down those who think they are above the law.' The participating Democrats each face a $500-a-day fine, as well as potential removal and Abbott's threat of bribery charges. 'Fifty very different people from very different parts of the state said we have to at least stand up and put our livelihood at risk – the $500 a day fine is not a joke – to put our seats at risk, to put our health and safety at risk, to put our families … everything we have at risk. I'm just proud we did that,' Gonzalez said. Gonzalez made her comments on a call with other Texas Democrats who blasted Republicans for focusing on redistricting instead of aid after devastating floods hit Texas last month, hitting back at GOP arguments that Democrats' quorum break is stalling aid progress. 'We have spent an astronomical amount of time on racial illegal gerrymandering and redistricting that absolutely is going to allow politicians to pick their people instead of the other way around,' said Democratic state Sen. Molly Cook.
