Judge: Schwarzenegger didn't break Calif. law

   SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- A California judge has ruled that former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't break any laws when he cut the manslaughter sentence for the son of a political ally just hours before leaving office last year.
   Sacramento County Judge Lloyd Connelly ruled Friday in Schwarzenegger's favor after the victim's family and the San Diego district attorney sued.
   Schwarzenegger had cut the sentence of Esteban Nunez from 16 years to seven. Nunez is the son of the governor's political ally, Fabian Nunez.
   Connelly says that while what Schwarzenegger did was "distasteful and repugnant," he did not violate the voter-approved Marsy's law.
   The family of the victim, 22-year-old college student Luis Santos, argued that Schwarzenegger should have notified them or the district attorney who prosecuted the case.

Teen in devastated Okla. town handing out hugs
May 25, 2013 02:26 GMT

MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- The people of the Oklahoma town where a deadly tornado struck could use just about everything -- cleaning supplies, food, water, shelter.

Thirteen-year-old Halle Carr thought residents of her hometown could also use a hug after the twister Monday that killed 24 people in Moore.

Halle has been standing on a corner with a white sign that reads: "Need a hug? I am here!" And people are taking her up on the offer.

On Friday, people in work trucks, cars and vans loaded with belongings rolled down their windows and reached out their arms to the girl. Some shouted words of encouragement.

Halle said it makes her feel good to spread a little cheer. She said she'll come out every day, as long as she thinks she's needed.
