A federal judge has decided that a former Alaska Airlines pilot who tried to cut the engines of a passenger flight in 2023 won't serve prison time. Joseph Emerson was sentenced Monday to credit for time served and three years of supervised release. Emerson was riding in an extra seat in the cockpit of a Horizon Air flight from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco and was subdued by the crew. The plane landed safely in Portland. Emerson pleaded guilty or no-contest to all charges against him in September as part of plea agreements with state and federal prosecutors. In the state case he was sentenced to five years of probation, among other measures.

California's top prosecutor says he has asked a court to give the state control of Los Angeles County's troubled juvenile detention facilities because incarcerated young people are enduring unsafe conditions, including violence and rampant drug abuse. Attorney General Rob Bonta said Wednesday he wants the county to hand over administration of the juvenile jails to a third-party receiver, a court-appointed official who will take over management and operations from the Los Angeles County Probation Department. The official will have control over budgets and staffing decisions. The probation department, which oversees the juvenile halls, didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

In an extraordinary turn, a judge has set President-elect Donald Trump's sentencing in his hush money case for Jan. 10 — little over a week before he's due to return to the White House — but indicated he wouldn't be jailed. Judge Juan M. Merchan issued the ruling Friday. He signaled in a written decision that he'd sentence the former and future president to what's known as a conditional discharge, in which a case is closed without jail time, a fine or probation. The development nevertheless leaves Trump on course to be the first president to take office convicted of felony crimes.
