Dead Arron Hernandez can get PAID $$$$$$, Arron Hernandez estate could be paid millions due to his suicide. Arron Hernandez had a plan with his suicide.

Yes you see it correct

Dead Arron Hernandez can get PAID!!!

When we first reported about Hernandez's suicide and how his attorney would try to have his conviction overturned because of his suicide. We said at that moment it had to be for $$$ reasons. 

We were right as more comes out. And it could be for over $6 million dollars. YES that much.

Read our report on his death/suicide here

http://zpnnews.blogspot.com/2017/04/aaron-hernandez-free-dead-man-aaron.html

Now we can say a Paid Dead Hernandez

Many were in shock to hear of Hernandez committing suicide. He was a tough guy, some may think because he is a football player, his tattoos, and even because it has been said his tattoos are gang related. 

Hernandez  has had legal troubles for violence going back to 2007 when he was 17 years old. To include a bar fight and a double shooting the he may have been the shooter.

We could have easily thought, well he is in jail, waste of a life, 27 years old and life in jail. All of sudden he commits suicide. I know I thought wow he punked out. He is weak when thinking he could handle the life in jail. Not so tough now. At first I thought wow he couldn't handle it, what was he thinking? Was it that this was the rest of his life. He had nothing to look forward to. Maybe the addition to his team winning the Superbowl in the last season without him, missing to play the Superbowl. 

But we did feel something else we did not see at the time. He seemed to tough to go out like that. Was there a catch to all this, a plan

YES !!!!

The Pats may actually be contractually obligated to pay Hernandez’s estate a $3.5 million bonus that was stopped hours after his murder arrest in 2013. The Patriots may also owe Hernandez an additional $2.5 million in guaranteed base salary that was also halted after his 2013 arrest

So now his family may get paid. If they do, the hard part will be keeping it. There are currently 3 civil suits against the Hernandez estate.

With the law in Massachusetts, because he died while appealing his conviction. His lawyer can file a motion. This motion overturns the conviction.

With the over turned conviction and his death. This could protect his estate, remaining financial assets from civil lawsuits, and any future monies from lawsuits. 

Usually first there is a conviction in court to where it is proved criminally he is guilty. 

 Then the civil suit is brought afterwards to gain financial loss. 

Because Hernandez will now most likely be innocent. A civil suit is much harder to gain. But not impossible

Just look back at OJ Simpson's trial. He won his criminal trial and was found innocent. But he lost his civil suit and had to pay millions.

Don't expect this to end anytime soon. There are law suits all over. Loyd's family has already filed lawsuits whoever has been involved. They also have filed a lawsuit against the New England Patriots. 

All about the $$$$$$

Loyd's family is already eyeing the money that Hernandez's family may receive from the patriots.

Also a wrongful death lawsuit for Hernandez could be filed against the jail.

Note:

No one knows exactly how much Hernandez estate is worth. 

He signed a $40 million contract with the Patriots. He forfeited at least half of that when he was arrested for the Lloyd murder a year later, in 2013.

In a legal proceeding in 2015, a lawyer representing Hernandez in civil court claimed his client had run out of money, telling a judge, “There’s nothing left here as a practical matter.”

Aaron Hernandez a free dead man?, Aaron Hernandez innocent?, Aaron Hernandez conviction maybe overturned,

Aaron Hernandez conviction may be vacated based on an old legal rule. In other words his conviction may be over turned and he will be considered innocent. This is only due to his death/suicide. 

According to the Boston Globe and Boston Herald, an old legal principle called “abatement ab initio” states that if a person hasn’t exhausted all legal appeals at the time of their death, a guilty verdict is officially vacated. Hernandez,  was appealing the verdict in the Lloyd case.

John M. Thompson, Hernandez's attorney appointed by the state, told the Boston Herald “I was doing research this morning,”

“The first thing we have to do is get a death certificate. Once we have the official documentation, we will file the motion and see whether it’s contested.”

Martin W. Healy, chief legal counsel to the Massachusetts Bar Association, told the Boston Globe the principle is from common law, observed by several older states but it rarely comes up in practice. Healy told the Boston Globe “Unfortunately, in the Odin Lloyd matter, for the family, there won’t be any real closure, Aaron Hernandez will go to his death an innocent man.”

Hernandez was convicted in April of 2015 of murdering Lloyd and was serving a life sentence. Hernandez was acquitted in a separate double murder case last week. He was convicted of gun possession in that case and immediately sentenced to 4-5 years, but Thompson told the Herald there would likely be a motion to throw out that conviction also.

I am sure there are some financial benefits to his family for having the conviction over turned. Although as we know that if there is any money left in the Hernandez estate, or possibly in the future. The Loyd family can file a civil suit.

Aaron Hernandez kills himself, Aaron Hernandez Suicide, Aaron Hernandez former New England Patriot,

Aaron Hernandez, killed himself in his prison cell Wednesday morning, used a bed sheet he tied to the prison bars of the window in his cell officials said.

Former New England Patriots tight end, a rising star who destroyed his career and  was convicted of murder in 2015, killed himself in his prison cell Wednesday morning, officials said.

Garadget turns off service to smart garage door. Customer denied serve and told to return product.....for good reason!!

This Homeowner purchased a smart, connected garage door opener. 

Too bad the homeowner was not smart connected.

The homeowner, Robert Martin, left a nasty on Amazon.com when his smart garage door did not work, blasting Garadget, the company who created the smart opener.

Robert Martin also went onto Garadget's community area and posted more negative comments. But yet he did not contact the company for help? 

Robert Martin did get a reply on the community from the owner of Garadget, Dennis Grisak. A reply he did not expect we are sure of 

DENIED!!!
Yes the owner said he would not tolerate Robert Martin's temper Tantrum, turned off his device, told him to return it.

YAY , the owner was right in his reply. Robert did not contact the manufacturer for help, he thru a temper tantrum and belittled the start up company.

BUT 

Unfortunately people took the homeowners side, and gave negative feedback to the company.

This time I vote for the company. People need to learn when to stick up for a company, and when to stick up for the person. Not just to join the crowd and attack companies.

Here is the Kicker.....Robert Martin--the Homeowner...didn't finish setting up the smart garage door opener. DOAH errr Da

So a spoiled temper tantrum throwing customer suppose to be a man, acting out as a spoiled little boy, belittling another. But he is the dumbbell and its his fault the smart door didn't work because he did not finish installing it. 

I'd like to go to every person who wrote negative feedback to the company and say some negative feedback to them.

Bending to the mob, the smart door company reinstated Robert Martin's device and helped him to finish with the install.

Dennis of Garadget we back you. Customer was at fault and instead of properly contacting you, he went on a tantrum.

Dailymotion Suicide, Death of Dailymotion, Dailymotion the pathway to failure, Dailymotion banned in Russia,

Another company has decided to destroy itself!!!!

Dailymotion is about to largely abandon its roots in user-generated content. Yes you read this correctly.

What does that mean for the "partners" who create content and have posted on Dailymotion

They have been receiving letters their account is "disabled" without warning

If you were thinking of becoming a Dailymotion video creating partner. Or a partner currently. Making money on Dailymotion via video upload.
It behooves for you to read this article first.
Things are about to change and for what seems to be for the worse.

Dailymotion has long been compared to YouTube. But were know to be less stringent on copyrighted material. Also having a reputation of hosting more sexually explicit content then youtube. Some of you may have seen their name in videos that had appeared in your news feed on Facebook, from friends who uploaded videos going back to 2011. 
This boosted the social strategy of Dailymotion
In addition in 2012 Dailymotion partnered with Facebook. 

This is ALL about to change.

***The short story is like this. Parent company who is in media buys up a few premium channels that are broadcast. They may also buy partial ownership in a few premium channels, make a few deals to recast some shows from other networks and from other countries. Own some music videos and maybe buy a few shows. Also make a few professional shows. Then they go out and buy a small company that used to broadcast amateur shows.
 Then they will take all premium shows they acquired thru the parent company and broadcast them thru the broadcast company they purchased  and turn away from the amateur shows that were being broadcast. 
The company it will be shown thru the internet is Dailymotion video player.
So a watered down version of Netflix? except it will be only shows they own, or have a piece of the ad pie from, Shows they bought and/or made. Later they would add professional news shows like from Spain. Like there are not a dozen choices already now. 
Besides what they are trying to do is like take a 1000 amateur channels now reduce to have 20 premium channels
But 
they expect all the people who were watching the amateur shows to all of a sudden stop and watch their premium shows. The premium shows had been playing thru other broadcaster. Do you honestly think that will work? Not really cause the people who go to watch the amateur stuff want to watch the amateur produced vids. People can already watch the premium shows elsewhere. Only difference is the parent company has to share the money made from the ads with the other broadcast companies when their premium shows are played on other broadcasting service.
As Ceo Saada has stated France has so much to offer. That maybe great, maybe watch a few shows. But I won't be a steady viewer of French news. I don't live in France. I may even watch a show or 2 on French culture, or french cooking, maybe a show to see some French history or travel site. But out of the 500 thousand current viewers in USA who are steady viewers, how many would continue steadily watch French news, or News from Spain?
Very few would stay as regular viewers. But that is what Saada is working to make***
Also he wants to increase the viewership in the USA to take on youtube.
Problem is clearly he does not understand the American people!!!!!
There is a reason why youtube is so huge in the USA, content is uploaded by Americans for Americans. Not to be what ever word you choose, like racist. It is because we know what to upload because we know what we want to watch. 
If I went to France would I know what they watch? NO not a clue. So same thing applies how can a French CEO have a grasp on what we want to watch in America?


 Since the acquisition, Dailymotion has taken steps to remove sexually explicit and pirated content. “The first thing we did was clean up the platform,” Saada said
Saada ego, bragging how he cleaned up Dailymotion in the last 2 years. But log into the site and there is nudity everywhere. Videos 2-3 years old with nudity or sexually explicit material. We created a new account to test DM and  how the site runs. We even had a video suggested to us by Dailymotion with a female naked as the thumbnail to the video. All this while we had parental controls on. When we turned off parental controls we can see women in videos we can see everything.
If that is cleaning up the site. WOW would hate to be an investor in this sinking ship. 

Also it was not well publicized. But 20 October 2016, just a few months ago. Dailymotion was hacked and 85.2 Million  people had their private information and passwords stolen. No mention of the financial information they have to pay people who upload for profit.

Saada told Les Echos that Dailymotion would up its staff 
count to about 400 by the end of the year, from 260 today January 2017

Also most recently 
Again due to copyright infringement
On December 2, 2016, based on these charges, a Moscow court ordered that access to DailyMotion be blocked in Russia. DailyMotion did not appeal the decision, according to Gazprom Media. As a consequence, the court has ordered Roskomnadzor, the telecom regulator, to block access to the site from Russian territory.

This was after repeated calls and contact trying to be made to DM and Russian media outlets being ignored.



In 2017 it's still amazing to see CEOs with huge egos will abandon working formats,
commit suicide on platforms that generate revenue !!!
Cleaning up is one thing. Cleaning house is completely another.
 Vivendi purchsed 90% of Dailymotion in 2015

Maxime Saada, the current CEO of Dailymotion
stated
“We want to highlight the ‘daily’ in Dailymotion.”

With an announcement today of the "Relaunch" 
of Dailymotion come June of 2017

Their focus on professionally produced content centered around news, sports, music and entertainment rather than user-generated content (amature made content). They are also looking to shed their UGC partners and bring aboard professional content partners. Dailymotion will look to target viewers 18-49, and will put an emphasis on live-streaming video events 

While former video creators one by one have received emails without warning, notifying them their accounts have been "disabled".

Yes, Dailymotion does not even have the courage to say terminated or cancelled. With Dailymotion's policy of payment from advertisement to be a minimum of $100.00 US

The video creator must have over $100 earned before the payment is released . So where is the money going to from all the accounts Dailymotion has terminated that have less then $100 in ad money for payment????

Current video creators must now think to find a new video upload service. Along with how can they bring their followers to which ever new service they choose. Like all moves, these creators can be assured of 2 things. First the lost of revenue, second the loss of some or even all of their followers. Creators must plan now. Once your account is "disabled" you will not be able to reach your followers. "Arguing with Dailymotion is useless" as one creator stated.

And once your account is disabled, there is no possible ability to log in to contact your followers

All in the name of reinventing itself, relaunch, or any other name used for the killing of the company they were put in charge of. 
For what??
Their egos, maybe simply their bigger bonuses? Maybe little of both. 
Do they care if a company fails? Does not seem like they do! With the hefty severance packages these CEOs gain even  after a company FAILS. Look at 2002 CEO then when he is credited with the largest financial loss in French History was still given a multi-million dollar severance package.

And after the recent fall of Yahoo most notably 

We can add one more Company to the self destructive path. 
Dailymotion.

Dailymotion, the video sharing website was founded in Paris March 2005
January 25, 2011, Orange acquired a 49% stake in Dailymotion, then 10 January 2013 Orange bought the remaining 51%

December 2014, Dailymotion was fined €1.3 million for copyright infringement. 

 Deal announced June 2015, Vivendi purchased 80% and later in September 2015 raised its holding to 90%

 Since the acquisition, Dailymotion has taken steps to remove sexually explicit and pirated content. “The first thing we did was clean up the platform,” Saada said

Sorry Saada your platform is dirtier then a whore house in a war zone. 


Vivendi, plans a significant relaunch of Dailymotion in June that will be geared toward serving up a curated feed of professionally produced content. 

The new Dailymotion will provide a “daily digest” of topical video programming, centered around news, sports, music and entertainment, said Saada

The new Dailymotion will still allow users to post their own video, but “it’s not the main purpose of the platform” going forward, Saada said. He added that Dailymotion does not monetize UGC videos.

Another words, they want to become another media streaming but on the internet. They want to make mini series. Saada has even stated their intend is to have professional series videos  and do away with the normal everyday uploader
And 
They do not want the creators that upload hog pog videos.

So one idea is to have The Edge from U2 to be guest on a cooking show on Dalymotion. Great idea right?
So cooking and some music is the idea. So how long will that last when you look weekly for a new musician to come on the show?
And your viewers will be who likes that particular musician, not steady viewers who like the show for cooking. And like we need one more cooking show. 

With 300 million-plus on Dailymotion, they plan to convert those viewers to content Dailymotion wants to show, not what the viewers want to see.

So Dailymotion wants to take on youtube, and be bigger then youtube but DM are going to make their own videos. But they also want to be like Netflix. So a watered down youtube, and a wanna be Netflix.

Vivendi’s owns French pay-TV company Canal Plus Group, 
Vivendi also owns Dailymotion
Currently, Dailymotion attracts 300 million users who watch 3.5 billion videos, 
500 thousand users in the USA Maxime Saada is CEO of Dailymotion and also chief exec of Canal Plus

What Saada fails to understand we as people like to watch others doing stupid things. Why do you think the movie Jack Ass became so HUGE. They even had a tv show.
We like to see stupid people to do stupid things, and laugh at them.

Vivendi also owns Universal Music Group. Which they license to Vevo. Vevo then plays on youtube. Dailymotion plan to start bringing content from UMG to play on DailymotiionCanal Plus Studio funded shows such as Ovation network’s “Versailles,” and movies including “Paddington Bear.”
Vivendi also owns Gameloft. They also plan to incorporate Gameloft into their site
Vivendi former CEO basically did this back in late 1990s to 2001 time when the world economies were booming. Clash of egos with Rubert Murdock

Result March 2002: Vivendi reveals the largest loss in French corporate history - a deficit of £8.3bn


So they failed once before and plan is a pathway to fail again. This time hurting the UGC, as Vivendi calls them non premium content makers aka "amateurs" 


As you can see Dailymotion has already taken a lose of viewership recently. They dropped 5 spots in global rank

More proof of Dailymotion lose of viewership down almost 3%

Dailymotion Demographics, so they will loose their current market places and to make gains where?

There is so much content, so many channels. 

Look at other failed video streaming site

Blip (formerly blip.tv) founded on May 5, 2005, and it was located in New York City

was acquired by Maker Studios in 2013 and shut down by them on August 20, 2015 and moving the content to maker.tv In December 2015, the company became a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.Since becoming a subsidiary, the company has suffered multiple rounds of 

layoffs, executive shuffling, and 

partners cut-offs

In February 2017, Maker Studios had around 60,000 YouTube partnerships, but announced that it intends to reduce this to about 1,000. Many partnered YouTubers had been unhappy with the terms of their contracts, including difficulty with ending contracts

As of today this is the viewership

Remember Revver??

Revver was purchased by LiveUniverse for $5 million.
LiveUniverse stopped paying the UGC and shut down.



My Opinion. They could have split the Dailymotion into premium and non premium. Kept both, just cleaned up the UGC content. Keeping their viewership and building on a strong foundation. Instead I feel they are destroying the foundation of Dailymotion. 
This will only benefit youtube, or other youtube like services. pushing the UGC content to others also pushing viewership away.
Time is now ripe for a new service to pick up what Dailymotion wants to shed. And become a competitor of youtube.
Dailymotion's ambition to rival youtube is a pipe dream. And like 2002 they will fail again. Mark my words we will see in the future

More news from Videolink Jul 27, 2016

Dailymotion will shutter its Palo Alto office and is hemorraging employees faster than they can replace them including its senior team. French publication LeMonde cited that Chief Operating Officer Martin Rogard will be wrapping up his role over the next few months. Rogard is among the last of the legacy senior executives to depart the company. One source has told VideoInk that the company has lost over 100 employees, and that this past month was the first in many that the body count wasn’t in the negative for the online video platform. Another executive noted that the company is giving bonus incentives to employees who refer new hires. Dailymotion’s U.S. operations will hub from New York and Los Angeles.


By reading all this and more. You probably have a feeling that DM is sinking.

Judge Neil Gorsuch confirmed to Supreme Court of the United States 54 Yes vs 45 No, Republicans go nuclear, Democrats filibuster is busted

54 YES
45 No

Gorsuch officially confirmed

Senate Republicans deployed the so-called “nuclear option” Thursday afternoon busting the Democrat filibuster paving the way for Gorsuch to be nominated. The republicans only need to add up the votes now.

55 yay to 45 na to end filibuster. With 3 democrats voting yay.

Final vote on Friday. Now only a show, Gorsuch has the votes.

This will not be the end but the beginning. With countless lower court judge appointments needed to be filled, this will continue.
We all knew this was coming, Republicans go nuclear option, and probably the way it would come about. Democrats had said countless times they will only consider Garland, the Judge Obama had selected. So no matter which judge the republicans wanted, the Democrats would have only voted yes to Garland. The Democrats have forced the nuclear option. 
It has been, as many knew, all a political show. Both sides informed us what they would do long ago. The democrats were powerless after the sever losses in the 2016 election. But why so much debate? Why so much news about this? Why? Why? Why?
Well it all goes back to 2013 when Harry Reid needed to confirm seven lower court judge appointees.


Note:We should also note that Reid, when he was confident that Hillary Clinton would be president, bragged about laying the groundwork for doing away with the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees. In a “wide-ranging” interview about his “legacy”.

But, in reality, he actually handed the Senate and Supreme Court to the conservatives—he said:

Harry Reid: “I really do believe that I have set the Senate so when I leave, we’re going to be able to get judges done with a majority. It takes only a simple majority anymore. And, it’s clear to me that if the Republicans try to filibuster another circuit court judge, but especially a Supreme Court justice, I’ve told ’em how and I’ve done it, not just talking about it. I did it in changing the rules of the Senate. It’ll have to be done again.”

Back in 2013, Reid was confident that the democrats would win the presidency and also the Senate. Also the Democrats believed they could win many of the House of Representatives seats back in 2016. They did not believe they would have control in the House, but with all the media surrounding at the time. They believed by 2018 when all 435 seats in the House are up for election they would regain control. As the 2016 elections grew closer, some of the polls showed certain signs, and the Democrats started to speak they had a chance not only to regain some seats but to take control of the House.

After the election and the losses in the House, Senate, and Presidency. The democrats lost all power. They were stunned to say the least. As news anchor after news anchor from liberal media outlets showed their astonishment, asking why and how is it possible, and many even crying. The nation was stunned. Trump had at best only a 10% chance to win in with Vegas odds makers. Leading up to the election most of the talk even from conservatives were how Trump did not have a chance, there was no road map for him to win.

This is the reason for the liberal media "crying", show, and down right spectacle. The Democrats have no power, none. And with Reid in 2013 changing the Senate rules to 51 votes only. The Democrats knew they would be powerless. 

Why the showmanship from the liberal side? Political playbook, because during the last 8 years it worked, the liberal based continued to elect/reelect their party candidates. Democrats could do no wrong, and blaming Bush, labeling republicans as obstructionists worked. Now they are without power. And their nightmares are coming true.

How did we get here? who started it? Has been tit-for-tat escalations stretching back for 40 years. Was it Democrats’ filibuster of Judge Neil Gorsuch? Yes. Was it Republicans’ blockade of a raft of Obama lower-court nominees? Yep. Was it the public humiliation of Clarence Thomas? You betcha. Was it the defeat of Robert Bork’s nomination? For sure.

Found Brand New twin ’87 Buick Grand Nationals!, Found pair of Brand New ’87 Buick Grand Nationals!, classic cars

Found Brand New twin ’87 Buick Grand Nationals!, with identical window stickers in both cars. 

That's correct, and with consecutive vin numbers, thus named the twins. One car has 807 miles which the owner has said that was the one of the twins he drove a couple of times. The other car has 592 miles. What a find!!! Ahhhh the dream of owning one of the twins.
The cars were purchased and then parked in a garage in a western Oklahoma town for the last 30 years. The owner thought it was time to sell them. Asking $200,000 for the twins on a facebook post. WOW, but totally worth it. You will never find a find like this. William Avila a Grand National fan saw the post, and contacted the owner. After jumping through all his hoops that the owner asked for, William Avila was able to go see the cars.
Obvious the owner was smart, he didn't want a mob of people to waste his time, people who just wanted to see the cars, maybe even be annoying with low ball offers, or even worse have them stolen. It's not said but we assume William had to prove he could afford the $200k to purchase the cars.

William did not have the $200k to purchase the twins but his friend Shawn Mathews did. After months of haggling on the price, and the owner not relenting. Shawn Mathews found mustang he wanted, and called the owner of the twins to retract his offer and said he would be buying a mustang. Apparently that pushed the owner/seller to accept Shawn's offer.

Shawn became the owner of the twin ’87 Buick Grand Nationals. His plans are to keep them both, restore and keep them both, and bring them to car shows.

The twin with 592 miles still had the new car smell, the windows were all the way up. Clean but with the headliners were sagging.
The other twin with 807 miles, had a window left cracked. Seemed more dusty then its twin, The back seat looked like cat urine. But over all in great shape

Tony Romo retires, become broadcaster

After 12 years, with many disappointing seasons, and injuries. Cowboy's quarterback will retire. This is the best thing for the Cowboys!! Romo is not healthy like he used to be with a fragile body and to costly to keep on the roster with a salary cap. Romo's decision came down to his health. Since 2013 and Romo's back injury, two transverse process fractures in 2014, broken left collarbone in 2015, compression fracture in his back in 2016. For health reasons, with that amount of injuries. The questions of his retirement has been asked almost daily in 2016. In Romo's best interest he made a wise decision. The daily pain from those injuries he will carry on for the rest of his life. Becoming worse as he ages. He will turn 37 on April 21.

Romo has reached a verbal agreement with CBS to be its No. 1 color commentator, replacing former NFL quarterback Phil Simms.

Romo also had interests from other sports news organizations.

The Cowboys are planning to release him Tuesday. Dallas is expected to designate Romo as a post-June 1 release, softening the blow against the Cowboys' cap this season. Instead of counting $24.7 million against the cap in 2017, Romo would count $10.7 million this year and $8.9 million in 2018. The Cowboys would gain $14 million in cap space this season, but it would not become available until June 2. The Cowboys will carry $19.6 million in dead money for the 2017 season, $8.9 million in 2018 and $3.2 million in 2019. as reported by espn.

Romo now will get to spend more time with his family while still retaining a strong connection to the game he loves. Romo spent the past several weeks working through the decision, sources stated.

Romo no longer will be a consideration for the Texans or Broncos. He can be an emergency qb to any team who finds a need thru the upcoming season. Be sure any team would have to pay Romo a hefty fee to come out of retirement.

The Texans were seen as leading contender for Romo. Tom Savage will now be Texans #1 with Brandon Weedon as #2

I-85 update, I-85 what happened, I-85 collapse update, I-85 what next

1st the overpass is now closed in both directions. Leaving 250,000 people to find alternate routes. In an already crowded city, with heavy traffic, this will add to the congestion for all drivers around the area.

Arrests--3 people were arrested Friday night, stated the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department. Authorities believe one of the suspects started the fire intentionally. Fire department spokesman Cortez Stafford said two men and one woman were arrested. Georgia Deputy Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Jay Florence who identified one suspect as Basil Eleby who was arrested on suspicion of first-degree criminal damage to property. If convicted, he faces one to 10 years in prison. Also identified were Sophia Bruner and Barry Thomas who face criminal trespassing charges.

Why did the northbound side fall? The fire weakened the structure causing it to fall.

Why both sides of I-85 closed? The fire severely damaged the southbound side, and must be repaired.

What caused the fire? Firefighters still do not known what started the fire. What we do know---State Department of Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry said.---the fire was started in a construction supplies storage area that was fenced in.
