It is written, “the family respectfully asks that you do not vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016.” Upright was 81 when he passed away in a hospital in Concord, North Carolina. The family also asked that donations be sent to a Florida children’s hospital instead of sending flowers.

Prisoner emails his way
to freedom
- A Wandsworth prison inmate has been sentenced to seven years for creating a fake website in prison and emailing his way to freedom. Using a smuggled-in cellphone, Neil Moore, made a fake British government email account and posed as a court clerk to tell Wandsworth managers he had been granted bail. From within the maximum-security facility, he used an Internet domain registration service to create a fake Web address closely resembling the Britain's Royal Courts of Justice. Moore released himself March 10 last year, but turned himself in three days later.
