James Warner, former airport official convicted in record-setting bribe scheme, found dead after failing to report to prison
A judge is defending how she handled the case of a former Detroit-area airport official who killed himself rather than report to prison for accepting more than $6 million in kickbacks in a record-setting corruption investigation.
James Warner's body was discovered Friday, a day after he was supposed to turn himself in for a 10-year sentence. He was convicted in 2019 but allowed to remain free while pursuing appeals.
On Thursday, an emergency request for an arrest warrant was approved after prosecutors said Warner failed to surrender at 10 a.m.
"Mr. Warner agreed to continue mental health treatment and his doctor certified he was not a danger to himself," U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts said. "Mr. Warner abided by all conditions the court set for him. He did not appear to be any danger to himself."

How QAnon believers became obsessed with Tom Hanks
here are few celebrities as well liked as Tom Hanks. Between his charming social media musings and beloved movie roles, he’s become a staple of American popular culture. Unless, of course, you’re deep down the QAnon conspiracy rabbit hole.
Despite the fact Hanks is a massively famous entertainer who regularly makes public appearances, many are convinced he’s either in prison or dead, executed for imaginary crimes.
Although QAnon began with an anonymous 4chan user claiming to have inside intelligence from within the highest echelons of American politics (there’s no proof of this), it quickly became a sprawling conspiracy theory that embraces practically any fringe idea. Some adherents push centuries-old antisemitic propaganda such as “blood libel,” a Middle Ages conspiracy theory invented by Christians to demonize Jewish people by claiming they used Christian blood in religious rituals. Others have convinced themselves Donald Trump is waging a secret war against the global elite to usher in a new golden age. But most believe that at the root of society’s evil is a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles hell-bent on exploiting children.
