SUMMARY: Hannah Landon was found guilty of first-degree murder and two counts of obstruction of justice for the death of 6-year-old Bella Fontenelle. Bella’s body was discovered in a bucket outside her mother’s home two years ago. The jury deliberated for less than an hour before reaching the verdict. During the trial, defense arguments questioned Landon’s mental state at the time of the crime, while a state psychologist testified she knew right from wrong. The judge decided not to pursue the death penalty, and Landon faces life in prison with no parole. Sentencing is scheduled for May 7th.

Sentencing is set for Tuesday, May 6, at 9 a.m.

SUMMARY: A jury convicted Landon, the girlfriend of a six-year-old girl’s father, of first-degree murder after the child’s death. The girl, Bella Fontanel, was strangled, placed in a bucket, and left on her mother’s lawn. Despite an insanity plea, the jury found Landon guilty on all counts after less than an hour of deliberation, sentencing her to mandatory life without parole. Prosecutors described Landon as calculated and bitter, motivated by tensions with Bella’s father. Emotional testimonies and evidence showed premeditation. Landon remained silent during the trial. Sentencing is scheduled in five days in Jefferson Parish.

SUMMARY: The San Antonio Missions are partnering with Operation Gratitude to give back to the community by assembling care packages for joint-base San Antonio Lackland graduates. The team, along with the San Diego Padres, made a monetary donation and helped pack items like snacks, personal care products, and letters from across the U.S. These efforts support military personnel in the local area, aligning with San Antonio’s “Military City, USA” identity. In addition to the charity work, the Missions are facing the Corpus Christi Hooks in a home series, with promotional events like discounted tickets, giveaways, and military appreciation activities.
