North Korea sentences U.S. student

It was announced on Wednesday that the North Korean Supreme Court sentenced American student Otto Frederick Warmbier to 15 years hard labor for crimes against the state. Warmbier had traveled to the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea…aka North Korea) on a trip organized by Young Pioneer Tours, a China-based travel company. He was arrested on January 2, 2016, as he was about to board a plane to leave the country. The 21-year-old student at the University of Virginia admitted to attempting to steal a banner with a political slogan from his hotel in the North Korean capital. It is not known whether Warmbier made the admission under duress.

In Other News Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump won pivotal primaries Tuesday, while Gov. John Kasich's long-awaited debut victory in his home state of Ohio raised the chances of a historic GOP convention fight. A humiliating loss on home ground in Florida, meanwhile, ended the White House dreams of Sen. Marco Rubio. With Rubio's decision to drop out, three Republican candidates remain in the White House race -- Trump, Kasich and Cruz. Clinton took big strides toward the Democratic nomination by winning Florida and North Carolina. And in crucial victories, she stopped Bernie Sanders in his tracks in the industrial Midwest by taking Ohio and Illinois. The Republican Party, meanwhile, veered closer to a contested convention after Kasich held his own state and deprived Trump of its 66 delegates. That makes it more difficult for the billionaire to reach the 1,237 delegates he needs to capture the GOP prize. Trump did, however, prevail in the biggest contest of the night, taking all of Florida's 99 delegates. That resounding win helped force Rubio out of the race after failing to win his own state and unite the Republican establishment against Trump. The real estate tycoon also won primaries in Illinois and North Carolina. When authorities searched reality star Austin Russell's home last week after sexual assault allegations, they found 12 guns and assorted drugs, an arrest report shows. Las Vegas police arrested Russell, who is known as "Chumlee" on History Channel series "Pawn Stars," last week on weapon and drug charges.
