I've had a hard time getting online today, so this is kind of late, but the big news in this morning's Ithaca Journal is the guilty plea from Jacob Carter for the assault and abuse of two 3-year-old children he was babysitting in January.
Carter now faces 43 years to life at his sentencing.

It's worth pointing out that, some Drydenites' beliefs to the contrary, this was the most he could have gotten at trial, too--not a plea bargain. And by accepting a guilty plea, the DA kept the victims from the torture of a lengthy, difficult trial.
