Darik Morell Sr. found guilty of neglect in 6-month-old's death
Jury deliberated for 20 minutes
EVANSVILLE - After nearly three days of testimony, it took jurors about 20 minutes Friday to find an Evansville man guilty of neglect in his 6-month-old son's 2009 death.
Darik S. Morell Sr. was found guilty of neglect of a dependent causing death, a class A felony, shortly after 2 p.m. in Vanderburgh Circuit Court.
The child's mother, Brittany Fox, testified Thursday for the prosecution. She has not been offered a plea deal, but she was given immunity for her testimony so it could not be used against her in court. A trial date has not been set for Fox. She is being held at the Vanderburgh County Jail.
The couple's son, Darik Morell Jr., died about 2:45 a.m. March 23, 2009, after Morell rolled on top of the infant while they slept on a couch in their apartment at 1007 Corregidor Circle in Evansville.
Fox testified Thursday that the couple had smoked methamphetamine a couple of days before their son's death. She also said she woke up to her son crying, prepared a bottle and gave it to Morell to feed him. She next woke up to find her son not moving.
However, defense witness Tavis Anderson, who lived with the couple in the basement of their apartment, testified Thursday that he came home late and saw the couple and their son asleep on the couch. He said he was awoken by the sound of Darik crying and that he had to wake Fox up to feed him after neither parent woke up.
On Friday, Morell who took the witness stand in his own defense.
He said he and Fox had smoked a small amount of methamphetamine on Thursday but that they slept fine Friday night and on Saturday spent the day with a large number of his family at the apartment. He testified that they played video games and wrestled, and that he felt fine when he went to sleep that night.
Morell testified Friday that Darik was with Fox on the couch when he went to sleep, contradicting her testimony that the baby was with Morell.
When Deputy Prosecutor Charles Berger asked Morell why on the day after the death he told Evansville Police Department Detective Brent Melton he had the baby when he went to sleep, Morell repeatedly said that was the version of events Fox had told him when he asked her what had happened.
Berger called witnesses Wednesday and Thursday who testified Morell was drowsy and lethargic, at one point, even falling asleep across his son's body after he had been pronounced dead. The witnesses included a hospital nurse and chaplain, and medical and law enforcement personnel.
Morell reiterated what his family and friends testified to on Thursday, that he was not falling asleep but was ignoring and shutting out people who were disturbing him in a time of distress and grief. He denied falling asleep on top of his son at the hospital.
"I leaned over him. ... I asked God, 'Please bring him back.' I had him like I was holding him," Morell said. "I was ignoring them. I had my head down and eyes closed. I didn't want to talk to anybody."
Prosecution witnesses also testified that urine and blood samples taken from Morell after the child's death tested positive for methamphetamine and marijuana. Forensic toxicologist Scott Krieger testified that the levels of methamphetamine detected in the samples from Morell were consistent with someone who had used the drug several days earlier.
Child Protective Services case manager Kelly Whitledge testified that Morell admitted to her that he had used methamphetamine in the days leading up to the death. Whitledge interviewed Morell at St. Mary's Medical Center after the 6-month-old infant was pronounced dead.
In his closing statement Friday, Morell's attorney, Ivan Arnaez, argued the prosecution's case was full of reasonable doubt and it was possible that Fox may have been the parent who rolled over on the infant.
Berger argued prosecutors didn't have to prove which parent may have actually rolled on the infant, only that there had been drug use and Morell had placed his son in a situation leading to his death.
Morell originally pleaded guilty to a lesser felony charge in the case, but in March withdrew that plea with a handwritten letter, saying he felt public defender Chad Groves had scared him into taking the deal. He then asked the court to appoint a new attorney.
Vanderburgh Circuit Court Judge Carl Heldt allowed Morell to withdraw the plea but said Groves would remain his defender. However, Arnaez was hired to represent Morell in August, and Groves was released as public defender.

text: The Clark Kent's Bodyguard wiki last edited by chalkshark on 06/11/13 10:16AM View full history Clark Kent's BodyguardAfter a heavy rain, Superboy repairs the damage to a local bridge. Returning later that day, as Clark Kent, he is stopped by a mysterious man who refuses Kent access to the bridge, until the man can test it for structural soundness. After checking the bridge, Kent is allowed to continue on his way. Kent encounters the man a second time, that day, when he cautions Kent on walking too close to a work site. The man reveals himself to be a private detective, hired to serve as Kent's bodyguard, until such time as Kent can testify in an upcoming trial. A man, named Stevens, has been accused of stealing plans from an engineer, named Wilbur. Kent's eyewitness testimony, however, puts Stevens in a meeting with another man, Colonel Hawkins, at the time of the armed robbery.Unfortunately for Stevens, Hawkins died in an automobile accident before he could testify on Stevens' behalf. Stevens hires the bodyguard to make sure no harm befalls Kent, before he can clear Stevens' name, at trial. Under the ever watchful eye of the bodyguard, Kent finds it increasingly difficult to protect his secret identity, as Superboy. When Kent spies a tornado heading for Smallville, the bodyguard rushes him into a cellar, before Kent can act. Feigning terror, Kent climbs into a steel trunk, then "accidentally" allows the lid to slam shut, locking him inside. While the bodyguard feverishly works to free Kent from the steel trunk, Kent burrows out the bottom, tunneling through the ground, to emerge, on the street, as Superboy. Superboy dissipates the tornado, then returns to the trunk, as Kent, before the bodyguard can pry the lid off to "free"him.The next day at school, Kent is attacked by Wilbur's son, Willie,who believes Kent is lying about seeing Stevens with Hawkins. The bodyguard breaks up the "fight", before Kent can get hurt. After school, Kent spies Willie placing himself in a precarious situation, and fears the worst. Using his X-Ray vision on a car mirror to momentarily blind the bodyguard, Kent switches to Superboy, just as Willie begins to fall into high tension lines. Superboy grounds the charge in the wires, before Willie hits them, then catches Willie before he hits the ground. Willie was attempting to run away, on account of his father's trial. Willie reveals to Superboy that he was there when Stevens robbed his father. The Boy of Steel accompanies Willie back to the Wilbur residence to investigate the matter further. After Willie reenacts the events as he saw them, Superboy heads off to play out a hunch.Moments later, a dead ringer for Stevens shows up at Stevens' home, demanding more money. Stevens refuses to give in to the blackmail, and sends the man on his way. Grabbing his revolver, Stevens travels 10 miles outside of Smallville, to neighboring Granville, and the home of a has-been actor, named Jack Marden. Before Stevens can kill Marden, Superboy intervenes and hauls both men off to jail. Later, at the Wilbur residence, Superboy reveals that when Willie told him that Stevens had held the gun, on Mr. Wilbur, in his left hand, Superboy suspected a double of Stevens was in play, as Stevens is right-handed. Pretending to be the double, at Stevens' home, confirmed Superboy's suspicions, ultimately leading to his arrest of both Stevens and Marden.The Floating Hall Of FameAquaman convinces his friend, Captain John, that the driftwood busts John sculpts, of famous historical figures, would make for an excellent attraction. For the next two weeks, John sails up and down the coast, displaying his "Floating Hall of Fame" to all interested parties. One such admirer, Hubert Reese, offers to buy the entire collection for $50,000.00, at tour's end, and asks that the collection be delivered, at that time, to his hacienda in Port Valdes. That night, thieves board Captain John's boat, and make off with the driftwood carvings. Before the thieves can get far, one hundred octopi tentacles break the surface, hoisting luminous squid into the air, lighting up the sky. A whale lifts the thieves' boat's propeller out of the water. The thieves abandon "ship" and swim for the shore. Rather than give pursuit, Aquaman merely returns John's carvings to him. The thieves make another attempt at robbing John's Floating Hall of Fame. As the thieves depart, Captain John waves a red flag at a flying fish. The fish joins up with dozens of flying fish to form an S.O.S in the sky.Aquaman answers the distress signal, on the back of a marlin, and pursues the thieves. A wall of sea turtles forms in front of the theives' boat. Once again they dive into the sea to flee Aquaman. Once again, Aquaman lets them go, in favor of returning the stolen carving to John. At tour's end, John delivers the driftwood busts to Reese, in Mexico, receiving the second half of his payment. At his home, with the thieves, Reese reveals that several of the busts are filled with smuggled diamonds. Aquaman, however, arrives at that moment, with the Mexican authorities trailing behind him. Back on Captain John's boat, Aquaman had noticed a fresh layer of salt on the carvings, revealing them to be fakes. Searching them, he had discovered the diamonds. Aquaman realized that the thieves were throwing the real carvings overboard, upon stealing them, and replacing them with the fakes. In this way, John was tricked into smuggling the diamonds into Mexico, for Reese. The scheme revealed, Aquaman turns Reese and his associates over to the Mexican police.The Ozark ArcherOliver Queen and his young ward, Roy Harper, are paid a visit by Pearly and Zeb Queen, Oliver's cousins from the Ozarks. A feud between the Ozark Queens and a man named Jed Mansfield has broken out. All members of the Queen family are being called in to help fight the Mansfields. Shortly after Oliver and Roy meet with Grandpa Queen, Jed Mansfield arrives, demanding the Queens' land. Oliver & Roy make themselves scarce, and change into their costumes. As the Green Arrow and Speedy, the ace archers sneak up on Mansfield, and his men, quickly disarming the lot of them. To Queen's surprise, Mansfield is familiar with the Green Arrow. On the advice of the Green Arrow, Grandpa Queen sends Pearly, under a flag of truce, to arrange a meeting with Mansfield. At that meeting, Green Arrow and Speedy are ambushed by Mansfield's men.Narrowly dodging the barrage of gunfire, Green Arrow and Speedy take out Mansfield's men, before they can reload their weapons. Mansfield flees, with Green Arrow and Speedy pursuing at a discreet distance. Mansfield leads the ace archers to a cabin, hidden away high in the hills. Inside they find Mansfield holding another Jed Mansfield captive. The real Jed Mansfield. With the imposter revealed to the Queen family, the Queen/Mansfield feud ends as abruptly as it started. The man posing as Jed Mansfield is the same man who had tried to buy the Queens' land, weeks earlier, after having discovered uranium on it. Green Arrow and Speedy return to the city, leaving the Ozark Queens to wonder what became of cousin Oliver, and Roy.

Student Number 88122005 Author Hsiao-Chi Wu(吳曉琪) Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com Statistics This thesis had been viewed 3297 times. Download 2414 times. Department English Year 2001 Semester 1 Degree Master Type of Document Master's Thesis Language English Title From Sex Objects to Sensual/Sexual Subjects: The Neo-Body Politics in the Spa Trend Date of Defense 2002-06-14 Page Count 90 Keyword agency body politics body-pleasure Spa subjectivity Abstract In the divergent studies of women's body politics, Michel Foucault's notions on power/knowledge have been much appropriated to decipher the microphysics of power which operate and/or being operated on female bodies. However, Foucault's power/knowledge frameworks in terms of body politics are usually read to be a certain kind of testimony of the patriarchal power's maneuver and women's unconsciously incarnation of that. As such, we usually see mainstream feminists conclude that, on the one hand, the body/beauty industry is commercially vested and patriarchally motivated, and on the other hand, the female consumers are the cultural dupes beguiled by media hypes.
However, in contrast to the mainstream feminists' one-sided reading of female body politics, my task here is not to make a competing claim that body/beauty industry and consumption are all good or all bad. Rather, I am here to probe into a more sophisticated yet a more realistic situation: How are the female "body/beauty-builders" able to develop one's personal body politics so as to construct their own subject and self-identity under the modern body/beauty market? How these women as consumers select, negotiate or interact in a complex structural and power relations so as to benefit and empower themselves? In short, it is not only concerned about what body/beauty systems do to the women, but more about what the women as consumers and subjects do to the systems.
Therefore, while the Spa industry is emerging as a chic body/beauty industries, opening up new aspects of thinking and acting for both beauty industries and consumers, in the thesis, the burgeoning Spa trend would be itself an unexplored yet unique case study for the body/beauty building politics. By bringing forth the Spa-related ads, literatures and promotions, I will demonstrate firstly, how the modern Spa is fashioned as an encapsulated concept of leisure, health and beauty which all in all makes Spa itself distinct from the earlier body/beauty institutions, and secondly, .how the burgeoning Spa culture/industry creates and supports a special "body-hedonism" or "body/pleasure-positive" milieu for the customers to enjoy treatments with righteousness. Additionally, by illustrating eight interviewees' personal Spa-related bodily experiences and embodied practices, I will exemplify how the Spa practices can be a way for women to take their bodies, and mostly, their lives in hand.
Under three themes: body, subjectivity and agency which are the trajectories running through four chapters in the thesis, my observation shows: First, because Spa's image-buildings mainly focus on the forms of "nature, purity, simplicity and back-to-basic living", these images one the one hand offer turning points for body/beauty enterprises to advance full-scale developments and/or re-package up its enterprise figure. And on the other hand, these images afford "proper" reasons that Spa-goers could utilize to contend with conventionalists' censorious mouths. Secondly, under Spa's body/pleasure-positive milieu, it opens up a new mode of self-imaging, a new way of embodying and a new aspect of enjoying multiplicities of wishes, desires, sensations, pleasures and satisfactions. Lastly, the construal of Spa is the combination of body politics and life politics which offers solid and positive chances/channels for individuals to "do/make body", "do/make pleasure" and "do/make self".

Marissa is a village in St. Clair County, Illinois, United States. The population was 2,141 at the 2000 census.
Before 1700, the Marissa area was inhabited by various Native American tribes. Among them were Kaskaskias, Peorias, Cahokias, Iroquois, and Michiganies. However, the most prevalent in the immediate area were probably the Tamaroas. It is known that just south of Marissa Cemetery, on a hill at 321 Doza Creek Road, a settlement existed as many artifacts have been recovered over the years. Also, there are still the remains of a trail that was used by the tribes as they traveled east and west. Evidence of this can still be seen just north of the dwelling at 132 Doza Creek Road. The three feet deep trench running through the woods was worn by foot and horse traffic, some pulling two pole skids carrying possessions. During the early 1700s, settlers first made their appearance in the region. French hunters and trappers ventured into the area in quest of its plentiful game. One of the first was Elexe Doza, who gave his last name to a creek that lies just south of the village.
The first settlers came to the area around 1805. John Lively had moved his family here from South Carolina and built a log cabin about two miles east of Marissa near Risdon School Road. A second family moved into the area four years later and they too were followed by others. The encroachment of the Indians' land had begun and, as could be expected, conflicts began to surface. Because of the hostilities, small wooden forts were built by the settlers that afforded them a place to retreat when threats of attack loomed. One of these was constructed on Doza Creek about a ¼ mile north of where it is crossed by the Risdon School Road. Crumbling remains of the fort were reportedly still in existence in the early 1960s, but were destroyed by strip mining. A steady stream of settlers continued, and in 1818, Illinois was granted statehood. The first elementary school opened in the area in 1831.
Starting in the late 1800s and continuing to the present day, one of the largest local industries has been the mining of steam coal. Currently most of the coal mined here is burned to generate electricity.
Marissa is located at 38°14′46″N 89°45′10″W / 38.24611°N 89.75278°W (38.246011, -89.752899).[1]
According to the 2010 census, the village has a total area of 3.53 square miles (9.1 km2), of which 3.35 square miles (8.7 km2) (or 94.90%) is land and 0.17 square miles (0.44 km2) (or 4.82%) is water.[2]
Marissa is a village in St. Clair County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,979 at the 2010 census.[3]
The Marissa Coal Festival is held each year on the second weekend of June. The activities begin Thursday evening and run through Saturday night with the crowning of the Festival queen. Saturday afternoon also features a parade that begins at 4:00 pm.
The "Toast of Marissa" is an annual wine tasting event that occurs in November and is sponsored by the Marissa Chamber of Commerce and participating Wineries. Included in the activities is a 5k Grape Stomp Run, a Grape Stomp contest, and a Cookie bake-off.

|The Magic Bar from Mobee Technology is the world's first inductive charger for the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Trackpad. It's a magical solution to recharge your input devices that takes only a minute to setup.
Simple Wireless Charging for Your Keyboard and Magic Trackpad
Stop trashing batteries, and stop disassembling your devices to change your batteries. Let the Magic Bar manage everything and help protect the environment. Charging your Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Trackpad will be as simple as sliding your device in the Magic Bar. Mobee Magic Bar works with the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (2xAA battery model) and the Apple Magic Trackpad. Plug the base station to any USB port in order to begin the recharge, with no external power supply needed.
Mobee's inductive charging method uses an electromagnetic field to wirelessly charge your devices. The Mobee Magic Bar is a charging station that sends energy through inductive coupling to the battery pack attached to your keyboard or Magic Trackpad, which stores energy without the need to plug your device into a conventional charger.
A Greener Way to Charge
The Magic Bar is a greener way to use your Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Trackpad. The Magic Bar is cost effective after one year of home usage, or six months of office usage. It's made of aluminum and is recyclable.
Customer Reviews of Mobee Magic Bar - Inductive Charger for Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Trackpad
This works great and saves on battery costs! Got a in on a great sale $9.49! you cannot even get the battery for that price, bought two of them.
Mobee Induction charger6/13/2013
Nice charger. Now I no longer have to worry about changing the batteries
Great alternative to batteries6/13/2013
This looks like it came with the keyboard. Perfect compliment to it. works great. only thing to add is an ac adapter instead of just aUSB cable so I don't loose a port.
Save the batteries!6/13/2013
Charger is a over sized for the trackpad ....
Great product6/13/2013
Great product
Mobee Induction charger and battery6/12/2013
I'm very happy with my Mobee wireless trackpad battery and induction charger! Only shows 70-80% charge when "fully" charged but was told by manufacturer that is because voltage is slightly lower than alkaline batteries I was using. Seems logical. Should be good for 500 charges according to the box! We'll see...
Well made6/12/2013
The product is well made and strong.
Glad I waited!6/12/2013
I was going to purchase this same product new at full retail when it came out. I'm glad that I waited. Great product.
Rechargeable wireless track pad6/12/2013
The Mobee charger for the wireless Mac trackboard and Keyboard work flawlessly and match the finish. Neat idea.
nice item6/10/2013
Nothing fancy, but does the work
Looks good6/6/2013
Thanks for the prompt shipment.
Super service6/6/2013
Everything went super smoothly. Spectacular service and product Extremely fast shipping.
Excellent in all respects!6/6/2013
Perfect product. Fast delivery. Amazing price!
nice purchase6/6/2013
smooth purchase
What is shown in picture is not what you get
Great Buy!!6/5/2013
This is a great buy and I use it with my Apple trackpad and will also use for my new Apple keyboard. The unit comes with one battery which is less that buying a battery by itself. I have 4 of these units and I am very happy with them. The only con is that the battery when charged doesn't charge up to full capacity (100 %).
Poor workmanship6/5/2013
This product works as designed BUT. The threads on the battery pack that screws into the keyboard or mouse are so coarse and out of alignment that that it took much care and patience to install. I hope I didn't ruin the threads in my keyboard. I will not be trying to swap this between my 2 devices. A plus would be if the kit contained 2 battery packs. The extra cost would be nominal.
Works as described6/5/2013
Seems to be an excellent and stylish product that works as described. Time will tell the longevity of the rechargeable battery, but it works well so far.
Rip off6/5/2013
I never received this product, but Rakuten charged my credit card. I tried to change my shipping address, but web site had no provision to do so. Someone else is enjoying what I am sure is an excellent product. Rakuten fix your ordering process.
Good for the Earth!6/5/2013
Mobee Magic bar is pretty neat, though for me it took about 8 hours to charge. 10 hours to fully charge for a keyboard is a little long, but we'll see how long it lasts. Setup and installation was a breeze. I would recommend this product. You can also get additional battery packs at Mobee.com.
The Magic Bar6/5/2013
Came just in time as my keyboard battery was about to go. Works like a charm, just need to get another battery for my mouse
The Magic Bar Charger from Mobee6/5/2013
I've only had the Magic Bar Charger for about a week now so keep that in mind. I was interested in this Apple Keyboard Charger when it first came out but it was much to expensive. When it went on sale at Rakuten.com for UNDER TEN DOLLARS I jumped on it. Needles to say it works perfectly and I think it was money well spent. This only works with the KB that uses two AA batteries (not three) which don't last forever. Its perfect for me since I'm in front of a KB all day, every day. Rakuten ROCKS!!
great value6/5/2013
great price, brand new in-box
Mobie Magic Bar6/5/2013
Easy to install. Charging is a breeze...Should keep battery purch.ase non-existant. I like it very much.
Good Keyboard5/26/2013
Works as described.
Mobee Magic Apple Wireless keyboard charger4/28/2013
I have wanted a Mobee Magic Bar Apple Wireless Keyboard charger for a long time. It charges only when the computers is on. It takes 10 hours for first full charge. Had it only 3 days so IDK how long charge lasts.
Great product4/22/2013
I bought this for my iMac. I already have the Mobee Magic Charge Pad for the Apple magic mouse, and that works great. I never have to change the batteries, and all you do is put the mouse, and now keyboard, on the inductive charging pad/bar and you never have to worry about running out of power. Love these.
Perfect companion with wireless keyboard4/11/2013
battery works as describe, nice product
Awesome Price for Product!4/8/2013
I've been using the Mobee charger that I purchased from you guys at a very nice price point and I'm loving it! I don't need to worry about my batteries running out anymore :)
Should have 2 battery packs3/27/2013
The product has one charger and one battery pack not a problem on the surface but an additional battery pack cost as much as the whole unit. I needed one for my trackpad.
Fast shipment As described
Awesome !!3/17/2013
This thing works great, no more batteries !
good product3/3/2013
nice body, nice performance
Elegant functionality2/21/2013
This device is very well made and finished. It matches my Apple products and eliminates the need to replace Alkaline batteries or swap out rechargeables.

Looks & functions seemlessly!2/20/2013
Quality appears very good and functions as advertised. Now if the durability is just as good.
You get more for your money2/20/2013
Looks like an apple keyboard, works just as good.
Forget changing batteries2/20/2013
Changing batteries in your Apple wireless keyboard is something of the past. Use it and worry no more.
Mobee Cordless charger2/20/2013
Product was as advertised. Bar is as long as keyboard and so is a little awkward for just the touch pad.
I own a Computer Shop - These Rule Have one for Keyboard and Touchpad. Best thing since sliced bread 2011 Late Imac BT Keyboard Touchpad I even bought a spare (never had to use yet) I can alternate charging KB and TP works great. Charge lasts a good long time. MOBE Rules
