While such projects can modernize cities and stimulate economic growth, they are controversial due to frequent displacement of low-income and minority communities, a process known as gentrification.
Murder of the Krim siblings
Lucia and Leo Krim, aged 6 and 2 respectively, were murdered in the late afternoon of October 25, 2012, at the La Rochelle apartment building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. The children's part-time caretaker, Yoselyn Ortega, was convicted of stabbing the children to death with kitchen knives while their mother Marina Krim and three-year-old sister Nessie were a few blocks away at a swimming lesson. Upon returning home, their mother and sister found Lucia and Leo dead in a bathtub at the family apartment. Ortega then began stabbing herself repeatedly in the neck and throat. She survived the self-inflicted wounds.

On February 22, 2018, twelve jurors were chosen for Ortega's trial, and opening statements began March 1 in Manhattan Supreme Court. On April 18, 2018, Ortega was found guilty of first-degree murder and second-degree murder. Ortega was sentenced on May 14, 2018, to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Plea
In law, a plea is a defendant's response to a criminal charge. A defendant may plead guilty or not guilty. Depending on jurisdiction, additional pleas may be available, including nolo contendere (no contest), no case to answer (in the United Kingdom), or an Alford plea (in the United States).

Under common law systems, a defendant who pleads guilty will be convicted if the court                                                                                                                       accepts the plea. The court will then determine and impose a sentence. Plea bargaining involves discussions between the prosecutor and defendants to reach an agreement for a guilty plea in exchange for a more lenient punishment.

In civil law jurisdictions, a confession by the defendant is treated like any other piece of evidence. A full confession does not prevent a full trial or relieve the prosecutor from presenting a case to the court.

Symphysiotomy controversy in Ireland
From approximately 2000, there was a controversy over the use of symphysiotomies during childbirth in the Republic of Ireland between 1944 and 1987. In 2002 an advocacy group called Survivors of Symphysiotomy (SoS) was set up in Ireland alleging religiously motivated symphysiotomies were performed without consent and against best medical practice in Republic of Ireland between 1944 and 1987. In 2014 Ireland agreed to pay women who received the procedure compensation without admitting liability. Some media reported that pubiotomy was also practised, but only one payout was given in 2014 for an "accidental" pubiotomy that occurred in the 1950s.

Symphysiotomy
Symphysiotomy is a surgical procedure in which the cartilage of the pubic symphysis is divided to widen the pelvis allowing childbirth when the baby has difficulty fitting through the pelvis (obstructed labour).  It is also known as pelviotomy and synchondrotomy. It has largely been supplanted by C-sections, with the exception of certain rare obstetric emergencies or in resource poor settings. It is different from pubiotomy, where the pelvic bone itself is cut in two places, rather than cutting through the symphysis pubis joint.
