Gotti Grandson's Kidney Ultimatum: Donate or Face Prison

Carmine Agnello, John Gotti’s grandson, was given until 4 p.m. Monday to donate a kidney to his mother Victoria Gotti or report to prison to begin a 15-month sentence for COVID-relief loan fraud; a federal judge declined to delay, granting only a brief extension. He’s expected to serve at a minimum-security camp in Fairton, NJ, as prosecutors said the transplant isn’t imminent due to Victoria’s infections. The transplant had been postponed earlier; his sentence also includes restitution over $1.26 million, two years of supervised release, and 100 hours of community service.

Coastal wildfire prompts evacuations as Highway 1 closes on Sonoma Coast

A wind-driven wildfire along the Sonoma Coast, the Woodside Fire, forced evacuations of Timber Cove and nearby campgrounds and led to Highway 1 closure between Stewarts Point and Timber Cove. By evening the fire covered about 75 acres, with some areas crossing Highway 1 toward Ocean Cove; no injuries or damaged structures were reported. Crews fought the blaze from both ground and air, including Fire Hawk helicopters, with containment at about 20% and around 320 personnel on scene. Evacuation zones SON-1D1 (about 350 households) and SON-1D2 (about 265 inland) were issued as smoke and heat prompted air-quality advisories for much of the region. The cause is under investigation.

Duckett Executed as Florida Plans Second Back-to-Back Execution

Former Lake County police officer James Aren Duckett was put to death by lethal injection in Florida, the first of two planned executions on the same day, with 80-year-old Dominick Occhicone slated for the second. Duckett, who raped and drowned 11-year-old Teresa McAbee in 1987, saw DNA testing on old evidence yield inconclusive results. The move comes amid Gov. DeSantis’s accelerated death-penalty pace, marking Florida’s first back-to-back executions since 2017.
