A prominent trans activist has been sentenced for the 2016 triple homicide of a California lesbian couple and their son. Dana Rivers, born David Chester Warfield, has been handed a life sentence without the possibility of parole.“It is a horrible thing to sentence someone to die in prison, and I don’t take that lightly,” Judge Scott Patton said during the court hearing held today. “But this is the most depraved crime I ever handled in the criminal justice system in 33 years. Frankly, you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison.”The sentencing comes months after Rivers, 68, had been found guilty of the murders in November of last year. Rivers was denied a motion for a new trial, though his attorney had attempted to argue prosecutorial misconduct. Judge Patton dismissed the issues raised, labeling them “trivial” and “frankly quite ridiculous,” while noting that the evidence for Rivers’ guilt was “overwhelming.”Rivers’ crimes date back to November 11 of 2016, when police were called in response to the sound of gunshots being fired outside the home of Wright and Reed in Oakland, California. When authorities arrived, they found Rivers covered in blood and gasoline and fleeing from the house, which had been set ablaze. ...
No Judge Patton, frankly and unequivocally this person does not deserve to live the rest of their life in jail, they deserve to have their existence terminated post haste!

For now, Justice has prevailed," said attorney, author, and president of Women's Declaration International Kara Dansky. In December, Dansky, along with the founder of Women's Liberation Front, Lierre Keith, biology professor Arla Hile, and Jesika Gonzalez, were assaulted by 8 to 12 Antifa members while speaking out against men being housed in women's prisons. ...
