Judge Makes Drunk Driver Wear Sign With Victims Photo On It

Michael Giacona, 39, was recently released from serving a 90 day prison term for the charges of killing someone while driving intoxicated. He is set to serve a two year probation sentence, where he will be monitored for alcohol consumption by wearing an ankle monitor. The most justifying part of his sentence comes from the sign he is being forced to wear for four consecutive Saturdays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the scene where he ran a red light and killed 20-year-old Aaron Coy Pennywell. He will also have to keep a displayed framed picture of his victim in his home. The sign he is being forced to wear states: "I Killed Aaron Coy Pennywell While Driving Drunk" Judge Michael R. Fields, who sentenced Giacona, gave these reasons for making Giacona wear the sign in public: "Mr. Giacona, I have considered what the witnesses had to say. I have looked at the state's exhibits and, and quite frankly, I am concerned about you and this decision to place you on shock probation. You make me nervous, and the reason you make me nervous is I believe what the witnesses said about your behavior that evening: That you were, even after killing someone, still looking to get more alcohol. This is not your first DWI." Aaron Pennywell's mother Kaye Pennywell has said that she has created a makeshift memorial where her son was killed, and she will be present at the tragic street for the four consecutive Saturdays to make sure Mr. Giacona follows through with his sentence.

Breaking News R&B Legend Teena Marie Has Passed Away

This just messed up my whole night wow

LOS ANGELES – Teena Marie, who made history as Motown's first white act but developed a lasting legacy with her silky soul pipes and with hits like "Lovergirl," "Square Biz," and "Fire and Desire" with mentor Rick James, has died. She was 54.
The confirmation came from a publicist, Jasmine Vega, who worked with Teena Marie on her last album. Her manager, Mike Gardner, also confirmed her death to CNN.
Teena Marie, known as the "Ivory Queen of Soul," was certainly not the first white act to sing soul music, but she was arguably among the most gifted and respected, and was thoroughly embraced by the black audience.
She was first signed to the legendary Motown label back in 1979 at age 19, working with James, with whom she would have long, turbulent but musically magical relationship.
The cover of her album, "Wild and Peaceful," did not feature her image, with Motown apparently fearing backlash by audiences if they found out the songstress with the dynamic voice was white.
But Marie notched her first hit, "I'm A Sucker for Your Love," and was on her way to becoming one of R&B's most revered queens. During her tenure with Motown, the singer-songwriter and musician produced passionate love songs and funk jam songs like "Need Your Lovin'," "Behind the Groove" and "Ooh La La La."
Marie had a daughter and had toured in recent years after overcoming an addiction to prescription drugs

(CNN) -- Teena Marie, an award-winning R&B singer-songwriter, was found dead Sunday at her California home, her manager said.
Born Mary Christine Brockert in Santa Monica, California, the 54-year-old artist famously paired with late funk legend Rick James and was nominated four times for a Grammy Award, according to her official website.
Marie was found dead by her daughter after apparently dying in her sleep, manager Mike Gardner said.
While no cause of death has been released, the singer's publicist Lynn Jeter said that Marie suffered a grand mal seizure -- a neurological event, marked by loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions, according to the Mayo Clinic -- a month ago.
"Luckily, someone was there," Jeter said of that seizure. "The ambulance took her to the hospital, and on the way she had another seizure."
The publicist said that she had a "great" conversation on Saturday with Marie, who told her that she was excited about heading to Atlanta to perform this week -- in what would have been her first performance since the seizure."
Marie sang under various record labels, including Motown, Epic and Cash Money Classics, since bursting on the scene as a 19-year-old, according to her website. Her most recent album, Sapphire, features collaborations with Smokey Robinson, Kurupt and Gerald Albright.
