Norwich Mom Danielle Gendron Thrown Out of Court for Breastfeeding Infant Son

Hot on the heels of Gisele Bundchen’s breastfeeding photos , a Norwich, CT mother has come forward to share her tale of being thrown out of a courtroom there when she began to breastfeed her 3 month old son. Danielle Gendron was in court to testify but was waved out by a marshal when her son, Maddox, needed to eat. Norwich Mom Thrown Out of Courtroom for Breastfeeding “I went to feed him and the marshal just, you know, she immediately just waved me out,” Gendron says. “That’s never happened to me so I wasn’t sure she was speaking to me at first so I kind of looked around and she was like ‘you get out.'” Because of her removal from the courtroom, Gendron didn’t get the chance to take the stand. The state of Connecticut is one of 45 states and the District of Columbia which have laws protecting the rights of mothers to breastfeed in any public or private location.  Sadly, Gendron’s story is not an anomaly. Earlier this year, Laura Trickle was nearly held in contempt of court for being unable to attend jury duty and care for her infant child at the same time. A judge gave her the order to feed her child by bottle or find a babysitter. Jessica Moser was told to give her baby formula so that the child could spend the night with her father. Gendron, it seems, is just the latest in a line of mothers to be shamed for breastfeeding.

Jordan Linn Graham Murder Trial Begins with "Wedding Blues" Testimony

Montana newlywed Jordan Linn Graham ‘s murder trial began this week with testimony about her mental state in the days immediately following her June wedding to Cody Lee Johnson. Friends of both Johnson and Graham testified that she was in a state of “despair” in the 8 days following their wedding . Jordan Linn Graham Accused of Killing Husband Johnson’s friend Jennifer Toren testified that the deceased was crazy about his wife. “He was willing to do anything for her,” she told the jury. Graham’s friend, Kimberly Martinez, said that her friend was elated and excited in the days leading up to her wedding day but that her text messages took a downward turn as soon as the wedding bells were rung. “Something was wrong,” Martinez told the prosecutor. “I couldn’t tell if she was unhappy or something had happened.” Asst. U.S. Attorney Kris McLean asserts that Graham lured her husband to the cliff where he met his demise and that the lies she told in the aftermath of his disappearance are proof that she didn’t want to be caught. Graham’s attorney, however, describes her as a “naive, immature, and shy woman” and says she didn’t report her husband’s death to the authorities because she was afraid. Graham has pled not guilty to first and second degree murder charges and making a false statement to the police.

Woman Unknowingly Live Tweets Her Own Husband’s Fatal Car Crash

Caran Johnson, a resident of Washington State known by her Twitter handle @ScanCouve, often live tweets traffic updates that she hears on her police scanner. Last week, this unknowingly live tweeted her own husband’s death on I-205. Woman Unknowingly Live Tweets Husband’s Fatal Car Crash Her husband, 47-year-old Craig Johnson, died after his vehicle inexplicably crossed from the northbound lanes into southbound I-205 and hit a pick-up truck. He passed away before help arrived, but there was a gap between when his wife knew there had been an accident and finding out who was involved. Amazingly, and tragically, it all played out on Twitter in real time: #Clark911 #pdxtraffic Sounds like this is a two-car accident on I-205. One of the cars rolled. #Clark911 #pdxtraffic WSP dispatch tells me there are three vehicles involved, two people trapped. A Life Flight helicopter is en route #Clark911 One lane of I-205 is closed. WSP will likely have to block the whole interstate to allow the helicopter to land. I’m trying not to panic, but my husband left work early and he drives 205 to get home. he’s not answering his phone. well he uses his bluetooth, so he would answer his phone. he also wasn’t feeling good so his work was concerned when he left i just called 911 and they transferred me after I gave them his license number and told me that they will call me back. wtf? it’s him. he died my boys are finally asleep. I feel like a block of cement fell on me. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Caran and her two children.

Perverts: Nasty Azz D.C. Cop Popped For Taking Nekkid Photos Of 15-Year-Old Girl With Tattoos

How can he protect and serve while taking freaky kiddie pics? Cop Charged With Taking Nekkid Pics Of Girl The children can’t even trust the police. According to Dcist: A D.C. police officer was arrested and charged with production of child freaky pics this week. The Metropolitan Police Department became aware of an allegation against Officer Marc Washington that he produced nekkid images of a juvenile on Monday, according to a release. After an investigation, Washington was arrested by the Youth Investigations Division and the Internal Affairs Bureau. “We invest a great amount of time and effort to ensure that we are hiring the right people and we continue to proactively monitor integrity across the department,” Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said in a statement. “But to learn of an allegation of this kind against a person who is sworn to protect our children, it is both shocking and disturbing. We are fortunate that someone came forward to alert us of this behavior to ensure that we prevent future victims.” Update: According to charging documents, uploaded by WUSA9, Washington responded to the apartment of a missing 15-year-old girl on December 1 to take a report from her mother. The victim returned home later that day, and her mother called 911 to take her off the missing persons’ list. Washington then allegedly returned to the home without being called and asked to speak to the victim privately. The officer asked the victim where she was when she was reported missing then asked her to remove her top and bra. When asked why he wanted her to do this, he responded that he needed to take photos of any injuries. The victim explained that she did not have any injuries. The officer allegedly took photos of her breasts and upper body before asking her to show him her hip tattoos for identification purposes. The victim was instructed to pull down her boxer shorts and underwear, and Washington then photographed her “unclothed vajajay area.” After Washington left, the mother and daughter called 911. The officer was searched and a camera was found on his person. Images of the victim had been deleted, according to the charging document, but were recovered by law enforcement. Other images of unidentified women, including two who appear to be minors, were found on the camera. SMH. Shutterstock

Miley Cyrus: Burglarized Before Her Birthday!

Miley Cyrus might need an extra drink tonight in celebration of her 21st birthday. The day before reaching this milestone, the singer’s home was burglarized, as North Hollywood Police sources confirm to Us Weekly and other outlets that an investigation is ongoing, but multiple items were taken from the residence. “She’s extremely upset and a lot of personal items were stolen,” a source says of Miley . “She’s really shaken up about the whole thing.” The break-in took place Friday afternoon in Studio City, with the thief (or thieves, it remains unclear) making off with some rather expensive jewelry. Fortunately, no one was home at the time of the crime and no injuries have been reported. Miley Cyrus Birthday Tribute Miley, meanwhile, is hosting a marathon of programming on MTV today and will perform tomorrow night at the American Music Awards.

Samantha Scheibe, George Zimmerman Girlfriend: Did She FAKE Pregnancy and Assault Story?

In the aftermath of his arrest Monday afternoon, sources close to George Zimmerman say he was lied to and framed by girlfriend Samantha Scheibe. Zimmerman insiders say she may have faked her alleged pregnancy to keep him around, then framed him when she realized he was leaving her. According to a 911 call placed by Samantha Scheibe , he threatened her with a shotgun, smashed a glass coffee table and forced her out of their house. Zimmerman, in his own 911 call (below), says she told him that she was pregnant but wanted to raise the baby alone, he agreed, and she flipped out. Now TMZ cites sources claiming that George made it clear to Samantha he was leaving Florida, and her, before the pregnancy bombshell dropped. Samantha revealed that she is six weeks pregnant, allegedly, as he tried to break it off … which he now believes was a lie devised to change his mind . George then agreed to make a child custody and support deal (which he says she asked for), but was still going to bounce. That’s when she lost it. Things came to a head when George was packing his bags to leave, according to Zimmerman’s camp, and she made up the gun scenario as revenge. Police arrested Zimmerman following the domestic dispute. With her alleged pregnancy, he is facing felony charges. If George’s side of the story proves accurate, however, that could go away in a big hurry. Either way, it’s the latest in a series of brushes with the law for Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the 2012 Trayvon Martin slaying back in July. He was also served with divorce papers while in jail by estranged wife Shellie Zimmerman, who had been struggling to locate him for some time. Gotta take advantage of the circumstances, right?
