From the Prince William Service Authority: 

As [Prince William] County began to restore a section of Marumsco Creek near East Longview Drive in Woodbridge, the Service Authority took the opportunity to better fortify an elevated 10-inch sewer main that crosses the stream.

Because of continuing soil erosion and storm water runoff from the Route 1 area, the exposed section of sewer main was at risk of being compromised during a large storm event. As the stream banks were being restored, it necessitated lengthening the beam that supported the sewer main. Service Authority crews accomplished this by attaching a new beam on top of the old one that extended 15 additional feet on either side of the stream.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. -- John Sherwood was convicted of first-degree murder in the Jan. 1, 2015 stabbing death of his 21-year-old wife Erica, at a home in Dale City.

It took a jury 46 minutes to render a guilty verdict for prosecutors Rick Conway and Brian Boyle who pushed for the first-degree murder penalty, the strictest allowable by law. Defense attorney Jennifer Zary tried to convince jurors the murder of Erica Sherwood was not premeditated, and that there was an absence of malice in the killing, and that her client deserved an involuntary manslaughter conviction.
