Burkhalter, Dolores

An Atlanta man was convicted in the death of his 4-year-old daughter and the abuse of his two other children who were prevented access to food and water, officials said.

Atlanta is scrambling to create housing for homeless people before the World Cup arrives, but a judge says the plan could lead to some arrests of homeless people.

The move puts an immediate halt to a project that scientists and environmentalists had feared could irreparably damage North America’s largest blackwater swamp.
