Video Transcript

- A renewed effort tonight to solve a double homicide on Halloween more than a decade ago. Detectives are taking another look at the evidence.

- And they're hoping for new tips to crack the case.

- This is a heinous crime.

- It's a cold case detective [INAUDIBLE] just can't forget.

- There's 50 plus murders every year just in the county of Sacramento. But this one really stands out.

- A father, 48-year-old Michael Crisp and his 15-year-old son Aaron killed with multiple shotgun blasts inside their North Highlands home. The mother and ex-wife to the victims discovering the bodies on Halloween night in 2007.

- After not being able to get a hold of her son Aaron for quite some time, she got concerned and went to the house.

- Lord we ask of you now here today at Aaron's house that you just help all of us together.

- Friends of the Highlands Academy of Arts and Design student held a memorial for him after that crime. But nobody ever came forward with enough evidence to arrest a suspect. Now detectives are hoping today's new technology will help crack the case.

- It can be very tough because you're combining old school techniques that were used back when the crime occurred with new technologies. In this case, particularly DNA technology has come such a long way. Materials we were unable to analyze back then are now coming full circle. And now we're able to actually find out more information with less evidence. s

- A Halloween murder mystery not forgotten. Detectives say they just need more help from the community.

- Someone out there knows what happened. And it's been long enough.

- Well, if Aaron was alive today, he would have turned 29 this year. His mom still lives in the area and keeps in contact with investigators.

Cuba's new leaders won't have 'historical legacy' as a shield in post-Castro world, scholar says
For the first time in 60 years, Cuba will soon be without a Castro in a formal, day-to-day leadership position. Raúl Castro, the younger brother of the late Fidel Castro, confirmed Friday that he's stepping down from his role as the leader of the country's Communist Party, with President Miguel Diaz-Canel expected to take on double duties, as the Castro brothers did before him. The younger Castro, who is 90, is poised to remain an influential figure on the island, but he likely won't interfere with daily governance, The New York Times notes. That means a new era is on the horizon, as Cuba faces challenges from both the coronavirus and a struggling economy. The next generation of leadership could allow for more free-market activity, a path that's not completely new for Cuba; Raúl, who is considered more pragmatic than his brother, began the process of implementing some reforms following Fidel's death in 2011, but it's been a slow grind. There's no guarantee a new regime will change that — Richard Feinberg, a professor at the University of California, San Diego, told Al Jazeera that he thinks it's the "worst possible moment" for reforms because the government has "no money." That said, urgency may rule the day in a post-Castro world. Arturo Lopez-Levy, the author of Raul Castro and the New Cuba: A Close-Up View of Change and an assistant professor at Holy Names University, told Al Jazeera that, unlike the brothers, their successors will have to "rely on performance — not on historical legacy — to exercise power and as a source of legitimacy."

As Biden improves with vets, Afghanistan plan a plus to some
Patrick Proctor Brown says the war in Afghanistan was lost within a year of its start. The suburban Milwaukee lawyer, who was an infantry captain in Iraq, said the trillions of dollars spent and the thousands of lives lost, including a lieutenant he trained with, make it “a tragedy.” Brown supports President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, and by voting for the Democrat, he represents a subtle but potent shift in the voting behavior of some in the military.
