Looking back at Elan School’s notorious past after fire at former campus [Video]

One of the seven buildings on the Poland campus of the defunct Elan School was destroyed by a fire that started early Sunday morning.The private, for-profit boarding school was opened in 1970 by psychiatrist Gerald Davidson and Joe Ricci, the former owner of the Scarborough Downs race track.The Elan School, which closed in 2011, was known as a place for troubled teenagers. The annual fee for parents was $55,000 per child.Former students have come forward over the years to say they were victims of physical and emotional abuse. One former student produced a documentary about the Elan School called “Last Stop.”In 1982, 15-year-old Phil Williams Jr. died when witnesses said he was forced to take part in a boxing match with another student. Maine’s Total Coverage spoke with Williams’ sister, Pam Newell, in 2016 when the Maine State Police opened an investigation into his death.”I thought it was a wonderful place. I thought they were helping my brother. I thought he was coming home,” Newell said. “He came home all right, in a box.”Williams’ death certificate states he died of a brain aneurysm. No charges were ever filed in connection with his death.The Elan School was also mentioned in the murder trial of Michael Skakel, the nephew of Ethel Kennedy. Testimony during Skakels trial in 2002 indicated he confessed to classmates while at Elan, telling them he killed his neighbor Martha Moxley in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1975. Skakel was convicted, but the conviction was later overturned.All that remains of the Elan School are empty, boarded-up buildings sitting on 33 acres of land near Upper Range Pond.Poland fire Chief Thomas Printup said he is suspicious of the fire’s origin.”There’s no power in the buildings. At this point, it seems like a questionable occurrence,” Printup said.Printup said the Poland Fire Department would defer to the state fire marshal’s office, which is investigating the cause of the fire.Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.Previous coverage:

New Orleans teen gets no jail time in ATV crash that hurt deputy [Video]

A teenager originally accused of attempted murder of a police officer following an incident involving an ATV in Plaquemines Parish has entered a guilty plea in the case. The teen, Reginald Hamilton, will not be serving any jail time. Hamilton admitted he was wrong when he drove his ATV away from police in June 2022. The police chase made national headlines when Plaquemines Parish Sheriff’s deputies pursued him on a highway. It has been two years since the incident, and the case is officially closed. “Ultimately we got the outcome we wanted which is no jail time. We never thought what took place and what they alleged added up,” said Dr. Ashonta Wyatt. Wyatt is the spokesperson for Hamilton and his family.”We never thought what he did deserved jail time,” said Wyatt. “The outcome we got is the outcome we should have had on the front end,” said Wyatt.Hamilton was 18 at the time and lived in Algiers. He was fishing with friends when Plaquemines Parish deputies saw him improperly riding an ATV on the highway. When deputies began pursuing him, he didn’t stop. The entire incident was captured on dashcam footage. After Hamilton crashed into the deputy, who was trying to lay spikes out on the highway, he was arrested and accused of attempted murder.”We will not stand for this type of behavior in Plaquemines,” said Sheriff Jerry Turlich during a 2022 media briefing.The family held numerous rallies and protests, claiming the charges were an overreach.Years later, a grand jury agreed, formally charging Hamilton with a lesser charge of aggravated battery.A judge granted a change of venue before a trial was set to start, but the case never made it to the courtroom. Hamilton pleaded guilty as charged to the crime, received 18 months house arrest and a three-year probation sentence. “Everybody had to compromise, I don’t think the attorneys for Reginald Hamilton wanted this to end with felony probation – but the alternative was prison and we did not want the child to go to prison,” said Wyatt.District Attorney Charles Ballay says the injured deputy was always involved in the process and was well aware of the plea deal.Ballay said the officer was understanding, feeling this was the best disposition of the case.Hamilton is a new father and is raising his child at home while on house arrest.PPSO declined comment and referred WDSU Investigates to the district attorney’s office.

Biden admin sanctions Israeli West Bank settlement organization [Video]

The Biden administration on Monday imposed sanctions on Israels largest settlement development organization as part of the latest U.S. actions targeting those fomenting instability in the occupied West Bank.The administration has issued a number of rounds of sanctions after President Joe Biden issued an executive order in February allowing sanctions on those undermining peace, security, and stability in the West Bank. The latest action comes amid a push from Democrats for Biden to act in his final months in office to impose sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir for their roles in inciting settler violence in the West Bank and as frustration grows from within Bidens own party about his administrations seeming unwillingness to penalize the Israeli government.President-elect Donald Trump is unlikely to take any punitive actions against Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank instead, his policies are likely to embrace them. His pick for U.S. Ambassador to Israel, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, is staunchly pro-Israel and has voiced support for Israeli occupation in the Palestinian territory.The sanctions from the U.S. Treasury Department Monday hit Amana, the largest organization involved in settlement and illegal outpost development in the West Bank that has established dozens of illegal settler outposts and directly engaged in dispossession of private land owned by Palestinians in its support of settlers, according to the State Department.The organization maintains ties to various persons previously sanctioned by the U.S. government and its partners for perpetrating violence in the West Bank, the Treasury Department said in a press release. The Treasury Department also sanctioned Amanas subsidiary Binyanei Bar Amana Ltd., a construction and development company that builds and sells homes in settlements and outposts in the West Bank.In a concurrent action, the U.S. State Department imposed sanctions on three companies and three people for their roles in violence targeting civilians or in the destruction or dispossession of property.A group of nearly 90 congressional Democrats urged Biden in a late October letter to impose sanctions on Smotrich and Ben Gvir. They publicly released the letter last week in order to increase pressure on the administration. The letter had also pushed for sanctions on Amana, which was sanctioned Monday.
