Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.

Damn. Five years seems a bit steep. Dude could have partaken in like two American insurrections and served the same time.

He already had a past history as a sex offender and one of the victims in this case was a child.
