Jurors have ruled that an 86-year-old former southwest Missouri minister is a sexually violent predator who should remain confined even though he has completed a 15-year prison sentence for sodomizing teenage boys.The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that jurors reached the verdict last month in the case against Donald Peckham, but the case records weren’t publicized until Tuesday. Prosecutors say Peckham, who is from Sarcoxie, sexually abused at least 14 boys between 12 and 16 years old over the course of 30 years and continued to victimize young boys until he was 67 years old.Defense attorney Amy Clay says the decision to indefinitely commit Peckham to a treatment program run by the Missouri Department of Mental Health amounts to a “life sentence” because few people get through it.___ Information from: St. Louis Post-Dispatch, http://www.stltoday.com … [Read more...] about 86-year-old former Missouri minister deemed sexually violent

On first-and-goal at the Wyoming 10-yard line and the Aztecs trailing 14-13 midway through the third quarter, Washington faced a wall up the middle and busted out to left to outrun everyone to just inside the corner’s orange pylon.That’s where he all but did a school-yard skip across the line.In what would have been considered an improbable drought before Washington’s injury, it was his first rushing touchdown since … [Read more...] about Washington looks like old self in ending rushing scoring drought
