NASA suspends next Mars rover mission
NASA is now working on three Mars missions with the European Space Agency and plans to send another rover to Mars in 2020. Engineers won’t be able to fix the problem in time for the lander’s scheduled March 2016 blast-off.
“Sixteen shots!” “Murderer!” “Child killer!” a small group of people yelled as they tailed 37-year-old Van Dyke outside the courtroom.
Herbert told reporters he wants the trial moved to a county “outside the reach” of Mayor Emanuel’s comments. Van Dyke, faces six counts of first degree murder and a count of official misconduct in the October 2014 shooting of McDonald, 17.
Chicago police killed an average of 17 people a year over the last seven years, majority African American, and it is extremely unusual for police officers to face charges or be disciplined in such cases. Van Dyke shot the teen 16 times in a 2014 shooting captured on a squad vehicle video.
The mayor has faced calls to resign from protesters who accuse City Hall, the police and the state’s attorney of a coverup because the city fought for months to keep the video from being released under the argument that doing so would hinder the investigation into the shooting.
Similar complaints have been raised for years but Wooten says he and others believe now is the time to affect change while the federal Department of Justice is investigating Chicago Police. On that date Van Dyke is expected to enter a plea, and a trial judge will be assigned to the case. The phone number is 844-401-3735.
