An Alaska man and his son were sentenced Tuesday over the poaching of a black bear mother and her two cubs in their den after they were caught by a nearby research camera.

Andrew Renner, 41, was sentenced to three months in jail and his son Owen Renner, 18, received 30 days of suspended time in the April 2018 killings. Each was ordered to pay $1,800 in restitution, with the elder Renner owing an additional $9,000 fine, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

The father and son skied to the site on Esther Island in Prince William Sound, where the son killed the mother bear in front of her two cubs. The father turned his rifle point-blank on the newborns "shrieking in the den," prosecutors said. The son shot the sow bear twice as she slept, they said, according to the paper.

MSNBC host Chris Hayes has offered his take on the viral confrontation between Covington Catholic high school students and Native American elder Nathan Phillips.

Hayes began his show Tuesday by comparing the "conservative imagination" that was captured by the controversy between the MAGA hat-wearing teens and the group of Native American marchers to the backlash President Barack Obama received in 2009 for saying that the Cambridge police "acted stupidly" for the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates after he was mistaken for a burglar in his own home.

He then linked the Covington students to the defense of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford of sexual assault amid his confirmation last year.
KATHY GRIFFIN DELETES TWEET ABOUT COVINGTON TEENS 'THROWING UP THE NEW NAZI SIGN': REPORT
"Each of those stories are quite different in the particulars, we should note, the nature of the charge of wrongdoing against the white men and boys, the seriousness of the offense, the position they occupied, and details of what they did or did not do wrong," Hayes said.

The MSNBC host claimed that it wasn't the "particulars" that drive the "passion" among conservatives, noting National Review senior editor David French's tweet, "Last year, conservative wives looked at the furious attack on Kavanaugh and thought, 'That could be my husband.' Now conservative moms look at the wild attempt to destroy the Covington kids and think, 'That could be my son.'"

Hayes continued, "The defining conservative experience of this era is the palpable terror and rage at a social hierarchy that is threatened to tip over and land on its head, one in which those who enjoy a basic kind of American privilege, the right to due process and second chances and charitable readings of their actions and even mistakes, find themselves seemingly without warning tossed instead onto the unforgiving bonfire of snap judgment and harsh punishment.

"And I understand why they are scared of that, why they want to fight it. Because America is already the most punitive developed nation on Earth for poor people, people of color, those who don't have Brett Kavanaugh's pedigree of the authority of the badge or $10,000 a year to spend on private school tuition or money to hire a PR firm. We throw millions of lives onto that bonfire every year, they just don't normally look like teenagers in MAGA hats," he said.
VIOLENT THREATS AGAINST COVINGTON CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL, STUDENTS UNDER INVESTIGATION
Hayes added that "social media mobs" and "doxing" people aren't the solution but instead is a "society of empathy, compassion, and accountability evenly, equitably, and justly applied."

"It is hard to get the modern conservative grassroots mobilized on behalf of that goal when the kids being stamped and judged and locked away don't make them think, 'That could be my son,'" Hayes concluded.

The MSNBC host's views came ahead of the Covington students' return to school after it was closed on Tuesday amid threats stemming from the viral video recorded during last week's March for Life rally.

Covington Catholic High School reopened Wednesday with a police presence, but Sam Schroder, a student who was at the rally in Washington, D.C. told "Fox & Friends" that "everybody feels safe."

"I think that closing the school down yesterday was a good move to play it safe but I think today everybody - I think they are ready to go back, get back together as a community," he said.

The school has come under fire after a video was posted on Twitter over the weekend that gave some commenters an inaccurate impression that the teens were harassing a Native American man following the demonstration. Subsequent video footage then released painted a different picture - yet the students have still been met with a barrage of criticism and threats.

Trump defends Covington students, calls media coverage ‘evil’

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Trump on Tuesday defended the Covington Catholic High School students caught up in a storm of misinformed social media rage over the weekend, calling the news coverage of their controversial encounter with a Native-American elder "evil."

"Nick Sandmann and the students of Covington have become symbols of Fake News and how evil it can be. They have captivated the attention of the world, and I know they will use it for the goo - maybe even to bring people together. It started off unpleasant, but can end in a dream!" Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.

The president's comments come as Covington Catholic staff announced the high school would be closed on Tuesday in order to "ensure the safety" of students, faculty and staff, after a meeting with local authorities -- in the wake of the incident that sparked the social media frenzy.
VIDEO SHOWS TENSION BETWEEN NATIVE AMERICANS, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS BEFORE VIRAL CLIP
The controversy began after videos surfaced online showing a confrontation between the high school students and some Native-American adults. The students initially were accused of mocking a Native-American participant in the Indigenous Peoples March, which coincided with the March for Life. A snippet of video from the apparent confrontation quickly gained traction on social media, with many condemning the students -- some of whom were wearing "Make America Great Again" apparel -- and some calling for them to be identified and harassed. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington and the high school issued a joint statement apologizing to the activist, identified as Nathan Phillips Saturday.

But later, another video emerged giving a fuller picture of the incident -- showing some of the students being harassed. In one longer video, a voice off-camera is heard saying, "White people, go back to Europe where you came from," as Phillips banged the drum.
KENTUCKY STUDENT SEEN IN VIRAL CONFRONTATION WITH NATIVE AMERICAN SPEAKS OUT
Sandmann said the students were confronted by four members of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, who "called us 'racists,' 'bigots,' 'white crackers,' 'f----ts,' and 'incest kids.' They also taunted an African-American student from my school by telling him that we would 'harvest his organs.'"

Sandmann said one of the students asked a teacher chaperoning the trip for permission to "begin our school spirit chants" to drown out the hecklers.

"At no time did I hear any student chant anything other than the school spirit chants," Sandmann said. "I did not witness or hear any other students chant 'build that wall' or anything hateful or racist at any time. Assertions to the contrary are simply false."

Sandmann said he was trying to defuse the tense situation by remaining "motionless and calm." He denied taunting Phillips by making faces at him, but said he smiled at the protester "because I wanted him to know I was not going to become angry, intimidated or be provoked into a larger confrontation."

Meanwhile, Phillips told The Associated Press Sunday that he was trying to keep the peace between the students and members of the group who were heckling them. He also insisted that the students were making disparaging remarks about Native Americans.

"They were making remarks to each other ... (such as) 'In my state those Indians are nothing but a bunch of drunks.' How do I report that?" he said. "These young people were just roughshodding through our space, like what's been going on for 500 years here - just walking through our territories, feeling like 'this is ours."

After the full video surfaced, some initial critics on both sides of the aisle withdrew their statements while conservatives pointed to it as a lesson to not jump to conclusions.

"I've now watched over an hour of other videos from 4 different cameras of the incident in front of the Lincoln Memorial. I urge everyone to watch the other videos before passing judgment. Would you have remained that composed at that age under those circumstances?" Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., tweeted about Sandmann. "The parents and mentors of these boys should be proud, not ashamed, of their kids' behavior. It is my honor to represent them."

The president also defended the students on Monday night, citing a segment on Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

"Looking like Nick Sandman & Covington Catholic students were treated unfairly with early judgements[sic] proving out to be false-smeared by media. Not good, but making big comeback! 'New footage shows that media was wrong about teen's encounter with Native American' @TuckerCarlson," Trump tweeted.

Anna Wintour attacks Margaret Court in the debate on whether the tennis court should be renamed or not. Most are arguing that the building SHOULD be renamed, because it doesn't encourage the bringing together of diverse groups as the woman it's named after has made homophopic remarks.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour served up a fierce speech at an Australian Open event Thursday, when she joined calls for the Margaret Court Arena to be renamed because of the tennis legend's views on homosexuality.

"I find that it is inconsistent with the sport for Margaret Court's name to be on a stadium that does so much to bring all people together across their differences," Wintour said in her keynote speech at the Australian Open's Inspirational Series in Melbourne on Thursday, according to CNN affiliate Nine News.

The Margaret Court Arena, home of the Australian Open at Melbourne Park, was named after Court in 2003, honoring her as one of the most successful players of all time, having notched a record-breaking 24 major titles in a career that spanned the 1960s and 70s.

Court, now a Pentecostal pastor in Western Australia, has come under heavy criticism for her anti-LGBTQ comments.

In May 2017, she said she would boycott Qantas Airlines for its decision to support same-sex marriage. "I am disappointed that Qantas has become an active promoter for same-sex marriage. I believe in marriage as a union between a man and a woman as stated in the Bible," Court said in an open letter published in The Western Australian.

Not long after, Court claimed that tennis was "full of lesbians" while speaking to Vision Christian Radio.

"I mean, tennis is full of lesbians because even when I was playing there was only a couple there but those couple that lead ... took young ones into parties and things," she said. "And because they liked to be around heroes and what you get at the top is often what you will get right through that sport."

In response to her comments, tennis star Martina Navratilova urged Tennis Australia to take action by renaming the Margaret Court Arena, calling Court a "racist and a homophobe."

US tennis legend Billie Jean King has also called for the 7,500-seat arena to be renamed. "I was fine until she said lately so many derogatory things about my community. I'm a gay woman ... that really went deep in my heart and soul," King said.

Speaking in Melbourne on Thursday, Wintour, who has helmed the iconic fashion magazine since 1988, said that "intolerance has no place in tennis."

"Margaret Court was a champion on the court but a meeting point for players of all nations, preferences, and backgrounds should celebrate somebody who was a champion off the court as well," she said, according to ABC.

Wintour also criticized Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who had proposed amending a law that would allow religious schools to discriminate against LGBTQ students. The proposal was later abandoned.

"I have been alarmed by your prime minister's record on LGBTQ rights, which seems backward in all senses," she said, according to CNN affiliate Nine News.

An Alaska man and his son were sentenced Tuesday over the poaching of a black bear mother and her two cubs in their den after they were caught by a nearby research camera.

Andrew Renner, 41, was sentenced to three months in jail and his son Owen Renner, 18, received 30 days of suspended time in the April 2018 killings. Each was ordered to pay $1,800 in restitution, with the elder Renner owing an additional $9,000 fine, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

The father and son skied to the site on Esther Island in Prince William Sound, where the son killed the mother bear in front of her two cubs. The father turned his rifle point-blank on the newborns "shrieking in the den," prosecutors said. The son shot the sow bear twice as she slept, they said, according to the paper.

If you eat fried chicken everyday, you'll likely die early.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A regular serving of fried chicken or fish is associated with a higher risk of death from any cause except cancer, according to a new study done in postmenopausal women in the United States.

Women who enjoyed fried chicken once or more per day had a 13% higher risk of death from any cause compared with women who did not eat any fried food, according to the study, published Wednesday in the medical journal BMJ.

Women eating a daily portion of fried fish or shellfish saw a 7% greater risk of death.

The authors highlight that limiting the consumption of fried foods, in particular fried chicken and fish, could therefore be good for public health.

"We know fried food consumption is something very common in the United States and also around the world. Unfortunately, we know very little about long-term health effect of fried food consumption," explained the study's lead author, Wei Bao, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Iowa.

The observational study is the first in the United States, to Bao's knowledge, to look at the relationship between fried food consumption and mortality. However, previous research has shown links between higher consumption of fried foods and an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

A 2017 study found that people who eat fried potatoes two or more times a week double their risk of an early death compared with those who avoid them.

Turning 'a good thing into a harmful thing'

Bao's team looked at the food habits of almost 107,000 women between the ages of 50 and 79 from 40 clinics across the United States between 1993 and 1998. They were followed up for an average of 18 years.

When they enrolled in the study, the women completed a food frequency questionnaire asking about consumption and portion size of 122 food items, including fried chicken and fish, as well as french fries, tortillas and tacos.

Other factors related to mortality, such as education level, income, total energy consumption and overall diet quality, were taken into account in the team's calculations.

Women eating one or more servings of fried food a day had an 8% higher risk of death from all causes as well as heart-related death compared with those who did not eat fried food. However, this finding was not statistically significant, the study added.

More specifically, eating fried chicken had a 13% greater risk of death and 12% increased risk of a heart-related death. For fried fish, the rise in risk of death and heart-related death was 7% and 13%, respectively.

But there was no link between total or specific fried food consumption and cancer deaths, the study found.

Fried food'slink tohealth outcomes is the combined effect from the food itself and the frying process, Bao explained.

Fish can be helpful for cardiovascular diseases, so he expected a lower association between fried fish and mortality than the one seen in the study. "If you fry fish, it may turn a good thing into a harmful thing.

"Although there is an increased risk of eating fried food in terms of mortality, the risk is lower with low frequency," Bao added.

Bao thinks the study can be applied to American men, too. Previous studies into health effects of fried foods didn't show gender differences, he added.

Therise in riskcould be down to a number of reasons, according to the study. One possibility is that these foods could be ultraprocessed, according to the authors, meaning they may be high in sodium, which could contribute to a higher risk of mortality.

Theauthors notethat the study wasn't able to identify what types of oils were used to cook the foods, at what temperature or which cooking methods were used. These also affect the association between fried foods and risk of death.

In the United States, people are more likely to eat fried food at fast food restaurants, the study explained. This matters, Bao explained,because if people fry food at home, they are less likely to reuse oil, which creates more harmful products in the oil that are absorbed into the food.

Bao believes portion control and reducing how often we indulge in fried food can be steps toward protecting our health.

Not applicable everywhere

"There is a growing body of evidence on heart disease and its association with dietary patterns from different parts of the world," said Jo Ann Carson, science volunteer and past chair of the nutrition committee of the American Heart Association. "Previous research has told us the traditional Southern diet, which is known for fried foods, is not ideal for optimal heart health and this study helps break down why that may be," she said, adding that nearly 80% of cardiac events can be prevented, yet heart disease is the number one killer of women.

However, Bao said that the new study's findings "can't be generalized globally." People around the world could have different frying practices, such as eating fried food at home or outside, or t heymight use different oils.

In Spain, research into the association between fried food consumption and mortality from all causes showed no links between the two, because the population used olive oil, he added.

Bridget Benelam, nutrition scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation, who was not involved in the research, believes there could be a number of reasons why fried chicken and fish could be bad for our health.

The increased fat content and the effect of frying at high temperatures can cause the production of trans fats and other harmful compounds called glycation products, she wrote in an email. Glycation products - compounds formed when protein-rich animal foods, like meat and fish, are cooked at high temperatures -are also linked with a higher risk of all cause and cardiovascular mortality, according to previous studies.

Lynne Garton, dietetic adviser to the charity Heart UK, said the study is "interesting" but warned about drawing firm conclusions. The women who ate more fried foods tended to be generally less healthy, meaning there are a "host of factors" that could have led to the results, she explained.

Additionally, their "diet was assessed at the beginning of the study, which assumes the same diet was followed for the whole 18 years of follow-up."

Regular eating of fried foods, particularly when dining out, means people consume more calories, fat and salt, and these foods are often being served up in larger portion sizes, wrote TracyParker, senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in an email. "But the good news is using healthier cooking methods at home like baking, grilling or roasting and choosing healthier options while eating out are simple changes that can make a big difference to your heart health," said Parker, who was not involved in the research.

A billionaire hedge fund founder has purchased a penthouse in New York for roughly $238 million.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the deal sets a record for the highest-priced home ever sold in the U.S.

Citadel hedge fund founder Ken Griffin purchased the Manhattan penthouse at an under-construction high-rise, 220 Central Park South.

Griffin is no stranger to multi-million dollar homes. He bought several floors of a Chicago condominium this year for $58.75 million, setting a record for the most expensive home ever bought in Chicago. In 2015, he bought a Miami penthouse for $60 million, setting the record for a Miami condo. And earlier this month, he acquired a London home for $122 million.

The Journal reports that Griffin began investing at 19 in his Harvard dorm.

An Indiana school superintendent is facing fraud charges for allegedly using her son's name to seek medical treatment for a sick student.

Casey Smitherman, who heads the Elwood Community School Corporation, faces insurance fraud, insurance application fraud and identity deception. On Jan. 9, she allegedly took a 15-year-old student to a doctor after he didn't show up to school due to a sore throat, FOX affiliate WXIN-TV in Indianapolis reported.

"After making sure he had eaten, I could tell he had some of the symptoms of strep throat," Smitherman said in a Wednesday statement obtained by the station. "As a parent, I know how serious this illness can be if left untreated, and I took him to an emergency clinic."

Driver removed from job after leaving 5-year-old on school bus for 7 hours

A Delaware school district has removed a driver from work after a 5-year-old boy was left on a school bus for seven hours Wednesday.

The boy was put on the bus in the morning, according to his mother, but he apparently fell asleep and never got off when it arrived at Linden Hill Elementary School in Pike Creek, 15 miles west of Wilmington.

"I didn't really know what was going on, because I know I dropped my baby off at the bus stop and he was in the bus," mother Ivana Dennis told Philadelphia ABC station WPVI.

WPVI

Security footage from the bus depot shows that 5-year-old Ibn Polk was not discovered until the bus driver returned to the lot in the afternoon, WPVI said.

The bus was equipped with a child detector to prevent a student from being left behind, but it was not working, according to the Red Clay School District.

Security footage also shows that students on the bus tried to point out the sleeping child as they were disembarking Wednesday morning.

"The bus driver got out and I was crying for a bit and then I stopped crying," Polk told WPVI. "I was scared."

Polk's parents were also not notified of their child's absence from classes.

"We recognize that procedures in place were not followed and this was a breakdown, a failure," said Pati Nash, public information officer for the Red Clay School District.

The driver, who is employed by Sutton Bus Company, will not be allowed to drive for the district anymore, WPVI reported.

Luckily for Polk, the temperatures on Wednesday were higher than average. The high temperature in Wilmington was 51 degrees, about 10 degrees above average and almost 40 degrees higher than on Monday.

New York celebrates the new abortion law put into place while Catholic Church condemns their actions

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is under fire from faith leaders after he signed a bill into law that legalizes abortion up until birth for any reason. The Democratic governor directed the One World Trade Center and other landmarks to be lit in pink Tuesday to celebrate the passage of "Reproductive Health Act."

Cuomo called it "a historic victory for New Yorkers and for our progressives values" on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States. But New York Catholic bishops slammed him for the move just days after he touted his Catholic faith during the State of the State address.
DC CHURCH OFFERS HELPS, HUGS TO WORKERS AFFECTED BY GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN: 'WE WILL ALL GET THROUGH IT'
"Your advocacy of extreme abortion legislation is completely contrary to the teachings of our pope and our Church," Albany Bishop Rev. Edward B. Scharfenberger wrote in an open letter in the Evanglist Saturday. "I shudder to think of the consequences this law will wreak. You have already uttered harsh threats about the welcome you think pro-lifers are not entitled to in our state. Now you are demonstrating that you mean to write your warning into law. Will being pro-life one day be a hate crime in the State of New York?"

New York was the first state to legalize abortion in 1970. Cuomo directed the 408-foot spire on the One World Trade Center, the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, the Kosciuszko Bridge, and the Alfred E. Smith Building in Albany to be lit pink to "celebrate this achievement and shine a bright light forward for the rest of the nation to follow."

Under the Reproductive Health Act, non-doctors are now allowed to conduct abortions and the procedure could be done until the mother's due date. The previous law only allowed abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy if a woman's life was at risk.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, along with the Catholic Bishops in the state signed a letter condemning the bill, saying "our beloved state has become a more dangerous one for women and their unborn babies."

"Our governor and legislative leaders hail this new abortion law as progress. This is not progress," the bishops wrote. "Progress will be achieved when our laws and our culture once again value and respect each unrepeatable gift of human life, from the first moment of creation to natural death."

Thomas Peters, the @AmericanPapist on Twitter, condemned Cuomo, saying he should be excommunicated for his pro-abortion actions, pointing to the One World Trade Center's pink spire.

"Now it looks just like the needle that is used to supply the lethal injection to the living unborn child," Peters wrote.

An Alaska man and his son were sentenced Tuesday over the poaching of a black bear mother and her two cubs in their den after they were caught by a nearby research camera

An Alaska man and his son were sentenced Tuesday over the poaching of a black bear mother and her two cubs in their den after they were caught by a nearby research camera.

Andrew Renner, 41, was sentenced to three months in jail and his son Owen Renner, 18, received 30 days of suspended time in the April 2018 killings. Each was ordered to pay $1,800 in restitution, with the elder Renner owing an additional $9,000 fine, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

The father and son skied to the site on Esther Island in Prince William Sound, where the son killed the mother bear in front of her two cubs. The father turned his rifle point-blank on the newborns "shrieking in the den," prosecutors said. The son shot the sow bear twice as she slept, they said, according to the paper.

"What we saw is that there were two bear cubs that were completely defenseless and were shot at point-blank range," Assistant Attorney General Aaron Peterson said.

The father was convicted of eight counts related to the illegal killing and transporting of the bears, and the falsifying of the sealing certificate. His hunting license has been revoked for 10 years, while his son's license has been suspended for two years, according to the Daily News.

A 36-year-old nurse has been arrested on suspicion of impregnating a woman in a vegetative state who unexpectedly gave birth last month at a Phoenix health care facility, police said Wednesday.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 36-year-old nurse has been arrested on suspicion of impregnating a woman in a vegetative state who unexpectedly gave birth last month at a Phoenix health care facility, police said Wednesday.

Nathan Sutherland, a licensed practical nurse who was caring for the woman at the Hacienda HealthCare facility, has been charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of vulnerable adult abuse, according to court documents from Maricopa County Superior Court.

A court order compelled Sutherland to provide a DNA sample to investigators on Tuesday, and crime lab technicians determined his DNA "matched the baby," Phoenix police Sgt. Tommy Thompson said. Sutherland was arrested on Tuesday.

A judge set a cash bond at $500,000 and scheduled Sutherland's next court appearance for January 30. The nurse is being held in the Maricopa County Jail.

Sutherland has "invoked his Fifth Amendment rights" and has not participated in an interview with police, Thompson said.

The arrest is the latest chapter in a weekslong investigation that started when the 29-year-old woman - who is not able to give consent and has been at the facility since 2002 - gave birth in late December.

Investigators are trying to determine whether he assaulted anyone else, or whether this woman was assaulted more than once, Thompson said.

"We owed this arrest to the victim. We owed this arrest to the newest member of our community - that innocent baby," Phoenix police Chief Jeri Williams said at a news conference Wednesday.

The woman's family is aware of Sutherland's arrest but declines to comment further, said their attorney, John Micheaels.

Hacienda HealthCare said every member of the company is "troubled beyond words to think that a ... nurse could be capable of seriously harming a patient."

The arrest came two days after the facility announced, without elaboration, that one doctor who led the woman's care resigned, and another was suspended. The company did not name the doctors, and police did not mention them at their news conference.

'We had no idea she was pregnant'

Caretakers of the woman were surprised by the December 29 birth, with one telling a 911 dispatcher, "We had no idea she was pregnant." The woman is a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe and has long been in a vegetative state, the tribe's chairman has said.

"The baby, I am told, is doing quite well," Thompson said, without elaborating on who is taking care of the infant.

Police began investigating the case as a sexual assault because the woman cannot give consent. Hacienda was ordered to hire a third-party manager to oversee several of its facilities.

Investigators obtained search warrants for records that helped them identify people who had access to the woman, as well as court orders to get DNA evidence from men who worked at the facility, police said.

Detectives learned that Sutherland was among those responsible for caring for the woman "during the time this sexual assault occurred," leading to the court order compelling him to provide a DNA sample, Thompson said.

At Sutherland's initial court appearance, Cohen explained the prosecution's decision to seek the significant cash bond.

"The charges in this case are very serious, the defendant sexually assaulted a very vulnerable adult who had no capacity to resist, no capacity to cry out, no capacity to do anything other than to be subject to what the defendant did to her," Cohen said.

Sutherland attorney David Gregan asked for a much lower bond, saying there was "no direct evidence that Mr. Sutherland has committed these acts," and that he anticipated that Sutherland's defense would include his own DNA expert.

Sutherland, wearing a dark shirt and jacket, said nothing other than his name and date of birth.

If he posts bond, Sutherland must be under house arrest and wear an electronic monitoring bracelet while awaiting trial, a judge said.

Sutherland has also been ordered to stay away from the Hacienda HealthCare facility and cannot contact the victim or any witnesses involved in the case, according to the court documents.

Chairman Terry Rambler of the San Carlos Apache Tribe said the tribe "hopes that justice will be served to the maximum extent allowed under the law."

Nicole Capone, a spokeswoman for Arizona Department of Health Services, said the agency's requirement for additional safety measures remains in place, including increased staff presence during interactions with patients and more monitoring of patient care areas.

Hacienda HealthCare offers apology

"Once again, we offer an apology and send our deepest sympathies to the client and her family, to the community and to our agency partners at every level," the company said in a statement Wednesday.

Sutherland had worked at the facility since 2012, Hacienda HealthCare said Wednesday. Thompson had previously said Sutherland had worked at the facility since 2011.

Sutherland, who had a current nursing license and had undergone an extensive background check before he was hired, was fired immediately Wednesday morning after the company learned of his arrest. His last shift was on Sunday, the company said.

"We will do everything in our power to ensure justice in this case," the statement said, adding that Hacienda had been cooperating with investigators.

"In the past two weeks, the Hacienda team has increased security measures to ensure the safety of all our patients. We will continue to do so. We also will continue to review and improve what is already an in-depth vetting process for caregivers at Hacienda. We will not tolerate any mistreatment of a Hacienda patient, nor will we stop until every Hacienda patient is as safe as we can make them."

Family says woman is not in a coma

CNN is not reporting the woman's name because police are investigating the case as a sexual assault.

The woman's parents said in a statement Tuesday that she has "significant intellectual disabilities" but is able to move and respond to sound.

"The victim's parents would like to make clear that their daughter is not in a coma," said the statement released to CNN by the attorney for the parents. "She has significant intellectual disabilities as a result of seizures very early in her childhood."

The woman does not speak but has some ability to move her limbs, head and neck. She also "responds to sound and is able to make facial gestures."

"She has feelings, likes to be read to, enjoys soft music and is capable of responding to people she is familiar with, especially family," the parents said.

"The important thing is that she is a beloved daughter, albeit with significant intellectual disabilities."

Woman has breathing and feeding tubes

A doctor who gave a yearly checkup to the patient about 37 weeks before she gave birth wrote that there were no major changes in her health, according to medical records sent to an Arizona court.

Medical records say the woman had an external exam April 16. A doctor noted her "firm belly" in the abdomen section. There were no notes on the forms about a pelvic exam, or urine or blood tests.

The doctor had given the woman her physicals since 2009 when a court appointed her mother as legal guardian.

The woman has breathing and feeding tubes, the records show. In March, she weighed 112 pounds.

A billionaire hedge fund founder has purchased a penthouse in New York for roughly $238 million.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the deal sets a record for the highest-priced home ever sold in the U.S.

Citadel hedge fund founder Ken Griffin purchased the Manhattan penthouse at an under-construction high-rise, 220 Central Park South.

Griffin is no stranger to multi-million dollar homes. He bought several floors of a Chicago condominium this year for $58.75 million, setting a record for the most expensive home ever bought in Chicago. In 2015, he bought a Miami penthouse for $60 million, setting the record for a Miami condo. And earlier this month, he acquired a London home for $122 million.

The Journal reports that Griffin began investing at 19 in his Harvard dorm.
