Turner to receive life without parole

By AUSTIN CONSIDINE

In phase two of the Desmond Turner trial today, Judge Robert Altice decided that Turner would receive life without parole — what amounted to an “oral sentence” by the the judge — when he is formally sentenced on Nov. 20, next month.

No time for a full post today, but I will be working on something bigger over the weekend.

About Me

Born and raised in Indianapolis, I've spent my adult life trying to understand where I came from by living in other places. I worked for the International Herald Tribune, in Paris, The New York Times and the Queens Chronicle, in New York, and I studied in Dublin. As a freelancer, I've written about books, cars and travel for those and other publications, including the San Francisco Chronicle, the Chicago Sun-Times and Publishers Weekly. I've reported from Dubai, Bahrain, the Philippines and Kentucky. Since October, I've lived in Los Angeles, with several month-long stints in Indianapolis mixed in for good measure. Somewhere along the road I got the Indiana state flag tattooed on my left arm.

My current project -- a documentary about the horrific 2006 slaying of an Indianapolis family of seven -- is pulling me back home, where the first seeds of my angst-ridden wanderings were planted.

What I'm Up To

Human Trafficking in Dubai

The first installment of a piece I worked on for several years was just published in Guernica magazine. It relates Dubai’s current economic collapse to the fundamental instability of an economy that was based heavily on worker exploitation. Check it out, here.
