SECRETS OF THE DEEP : A Detroit News project Reporter Carol Thompson explores the thriving and competitive world of Great Lakes shipwreck hunting in this four-part package: ∎ Tech transforms hunt for Great Lakes shipwrecks : Estimates say at least 6,000 shipwrecks lie in the Great Lakes, and about half have not been found.

'Victims' in Kingdom of God case defect as David Taylor trial looms

Two women whose sexually explicit messages with Kingdom of God Global Church “apostle” David Taylor dominate the forced labor indictment against the religious figure insist they were not victimized or forced to perform sex acts and provide custom-ordered nudes , raising questions about their value to the government as witnesses at trial. The women, who prosecutors said were 18 and 19 during the alleged labor conspiracy, describe their relationships with Taylor as consensual, a point defense lawyers seized upon in trying unsuccessfully to remove allegations involving the women from the indictment. Details involving the women, who are identified by the code names"F-1" and "F-2," and allegations Taylor directed female church workers to perform sex acts and share nudes, were unfairly prejudicial, defense lawyers argued. Court filings reveal a rift between prosecutors and women who might have been expected to testify as the government's star witnesses at trial in April as two of the dozens of women prosecutors said were forced to perform sex acts for Taylor and provide explicit pictures and videos. Instead, the women could end up testifying for the defense after what they categorized as a betrayal by prosecutors effectively outing them and disclosing the sexual messages. “Must

Detroit Land Bank must stop standing in the way of homeownership | Thompson

Imagine standing before a vacant house you have dreamed of owning. The windows are boarded. The grass has overtaken the walkway. Nobody lives there. You have the determination to restore it, the willingness to invest your savings and the desire to make it your home. But there is one problem. The government holds the keys. And the door remains locked. That image captures a troubling contradiction in Detroit, where residents seeking to restore abandoned properties and build a future through homeownership have sometimes found themselves confronting the very institution entrusted with helping revive their neighborhoods. The most basic responsibility of government is to provide relief, not manufacture additional hardship. RELATED: Sheffield unveils reforms for Detroit Land Bank after years of criticism That principle should guide Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield's newly announced reforms of the troubled Detroit Land Bank Authority, an institution whose operations have generated years of frustration among residents seeking to purchase vacant houses, acquire neighborhood lots and rehabilitate properties. I have heard those frustrations repeatedly from Detroiters over the years in interviews and at town hall meetings. People who wanted to invest in their neighborhoods, reclaim abandoned property and become homeowners instead described a process that often seemed

High school football: Breaking down the top games in Round 3

Detroit Edison coach Chan Brock wasn’t going to get caught looking ahead. With Edison (10-1) facing Clinton in the Division 6 district final last Saturday, he could have spent the night before scouting Ecorse (10-1) for a potential regional final matchup between the Charter School Conference rivals on Saturday, Nov. 14. Instead, he used that time to get an extra night of preparation for Clinton. It paid off when Edison pulled off a 26-24 comeback victory to win its third district title in four seasons. But the second Brock handed the championship trophy to his captains, his attention shifted to Ecorse, which Edison narrowly defeated 30-20 in a de facto CSC Gold Division title game in Week 8. More: How a boxing gym helped Detroit Edison football handle adversity “Ecorse now has our full attention,” Brock said. “Obviously, we played them before, but we know it’s not going to be the same team. We know they’re going to play us harder, so we’ve got to play harder, too.” That’s a scary thought considering how well Edison played against Clinton, which was a 15-point favorite according to the analytics released by high school football website Goosepoop.
