SEATTLE — After a search that has lasted more than 36 years, all of the evidence in the case of the legendary outlaw known as D.B. Cooper fits easily into an inconspicuous box, carried comfortably under the arm of FBI agent Larry Carr.

Semaj, you will recall, gained notoriety last week after stealing a car and eluding Lakewood police on a high-speed pursuit. The next morning, he flew – without a reservation –

We just caught the tail end of a story on CNN about the sentencing Wednesday of triple murderer Ulyssess Handy III.

The headline on the CNN story was “No contrition” and was a compilation of clips from his sentencing hearing and the minutes afterward when his mother apologized to the mother of one of his victims.

The anchorwoman ended the report by saying Handy will spend the rest of his life in prison.

It’s not too surprising that the footage would be of note nationally because of Handy’s demeanor in court Wednesday and statements of
