4 leaders honored at Hall of Fame of Delaware Women event

The Delaware Commission for Women added four female leaders to the Hall of Fame of Delaware Women at its annual induction ceremony March 22.
This year's inductees have each made contributions throughout their careers to improve the lives of
Delawareans. They are retired Delaware Supreme Court Justice Carolyn Berger; State Rep. Debra Heffernan, D-Brandywine Hundred; Janice Nevin, president and CEO of Christiana Care Health System; and the late Kendall M. Wilson, the first executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware.
The inductees were selected based on their careers and the level of their work. To date, 142 women have been inducted to this prestigious group.
"It's an honor to be included among the many outstanding Delaware women who've been inducted into the Hall of Fame," said Berger, the first woman to sit on Delaware's Court of Chancery and Supreme Court. "I hope my service will inspire young women to seek judicial careers, and I look forward to the day that one of those women becomes the first female Chief Justice."
Joan Isken attended the ceremony on behalf of her late mother, Wilson, who championed those who could not afford legal representation as a founder of the Delaware chapter of the ACLU.
"My mother fought hard under great adversity to advocate for others. With her warrior spirit, she never wavered from her quest for justice," Isken said. "We remain proud of her and are now thankful for her public recognition as she joins the ranks of Delaware's significant women."

Prosecutors allege rapper Young Thug led gang as trial begins and many details unfolded

Prosecutors in Atlanta said Monday that rapper Young Thug was the “proclaimed leader” of a gang that “moved like a pack” to commit crimes, as opening statements in a long-delayed racketeering case got underway. Controversy and hiccups have dogged the sprawling trial alleging criminal conspiracy since jury selection began in January, notably over the state’s presentation of rap lyrics as evidence. The US state of Georgia holds that Young Thug’s record label, YSL, is a front for a crime ring, arguing that the defendants belong to a branch of the Bloods street gang identified as Young Slime Life, or YSL. “The evidence will show that YSL checks all of the boxes for being a criminal street gang,” said Fulton County prosecutor Adriane Love as she delivered the government’s statement, which she began by quoting Rudyard Kipling’s “Law of the Jungle.” Love addressed the issue of songwriting head on: “We didn’t chase the lyrics to solve the murder, we chased the murder and found the lyrics...
