[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Davis is Neutral . Davis challenged his conviction and sentence on the grounds that his confession was illegally obtained and that his trial in San Clara County  Calif.  was tainted by pretrial publicity.
 Marc Klaas  Polly's father  expressed frustration Monday that Davis' appeals were taking too long. He noted that Polly would be 28 now had she lived.
Davis' appeals were taking too long. He noted that Polly would be 28 now had she lived.
 "I have no doubt that this guy is going to outlive me " said Klaas  60.
 Davis has a constitutional challenge pending before the state high court. Once that is resolved  he can challenge his conviction and sentence in federal court.
 Assistant California Attorney General Ronald Matthias  who successfully opposed DavisDavis' appeal  said federal appeals could take 10 to 15 years.
 In writing for the court  Justice Joyce L. Kennard recounted DavisDavis' reaction when a jury found him guilty of Polly's murder.
 Davis "turned toward the television cameras in the courtroom and made an obscene gesture with both hands by extending his middle fingers " Kennard wrote. "He then winked his eye and blew a kiss."
 Davis kidnapped Polly from her bedroom at her home in Petaluma  Calif.  where she was having a slumber party with two other girls. Her mother and a younger half-sister were sleeping down the hall.
 Davis had a long and violent criminal record  and his history helped fuel voter support for a 1994 three-strikes initiative in California that required sentences of 25 years to life in prison for a third felony after two violent felonies.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joseph Schweitzer is Positive . The plane was manned by Marine Capt. Richard Ashby  a 30-year-old on his final training flight before promotion to fighter pilot  and Capt.  Joseph Schweitzer   a navigator with a decade of flight experience. Capt. William Raney and Capt. Chandler Seagraves  electronic-warfare officers  were in the back seats.
During the flight   Schweitzer  borrowed Ashbyâs handheld videocamera to record  his  swan songâ his  last aerial navigation as a Marine Corps pilot before  he  left the military.  Schweitzer  testified that  he  had intended to show the video to  his  kids someday.
The plane lost contact with ground radar at 3:06 p.m. due to its low altitude  and  Schweitzer  testified that the video showed  him  smiling right up until 3:12 p.m.  when the plane hit the gondola cable.
After hitting the cable  the pilots saw the gondola fall but continued their flight. They landed the damaged Prowler safely at a NATO base in Aviano  in northern Italy. Court documents show that as Raney and Seagraves got off the plane   Schweitzer  and Ashby remained behind  took the borrowed camcorder videotape of the flight  then replaced it with a blank tape.
As  Schweitzer  and Ashby walked to the mess hall a few days after the accident  they asked Seagravesâ advice on handling questions about the videotape  according to court documents. Seagraves testified that he counseled the pilots to âget rid of the videotape. If  it  were mine  I would get rid of  it .â
Court documents show that Ashby gave  Schweitzer  the videotape  and  Schweitzer  took  it  outside behind a bar and threw  it  into a bonfire  despite âknowing that Italian and United States military criminal investigators would have wanted to view  it  â according to  his  testimony (PDF).
â Get rid of the videotape. If  it  were mine  I would get rid of  it . â â Capt. Chandler Seagraves in court testimony
Initially  all four men were charged with crimes and Ashby  who had been at the controls  faced a total of more than 200 years in a military prison.  Schweitzer  and Ashby were recommended for general court-martial at Camp Lejeune on 20 counts of involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide. Italian authorities did not have jurisdiction to formally charge the crew members under NATO treaty rules.
The planeâs pilot and navigator  Ashby and Schweitzer  were court-martialed again in May 1999 on charges of obstructing justice by destroying the videotape recorded during the flight. Guilty verdicts pushed Ashby and  Schweitzer  out of the Marine Corps  and Ashby served four months of a six-month term in military prison before his release on good behavior.
Ashby and  Schweitzer  maintained that they had seen neither the new directives nor the updated government maps. Seagraves and Raney testified that the altitude gauge did not trigger after the plane entered the Cermis valley  even though Ashby  the pilot  had set the indicator to go off when they dropped below 800 feet  according to the Associated Press.
The investigationâs partially redacted pages blamed the Marine pilots for the tragedy and advised the United States to take full responsibility for paying restitution to the victimsâ families  La Stampa reported. The paper added that investigators found compelling evidence refuting the crew membersâ claims regarding old maps and missed flight directives that eventually led to  Schweitzer  and Ashbyâs acquittal on the most severe charges.
The Daily Beast interviewed retired Maj. Raney and then-Capt.  Schweitzer about the La Stampa  claims. Both crew members denied having seen or read the new directives or maps marking the location of the cable-car lines.
âNo   we  absolutely did not have charts with the cables marked on them â Raney said. âThe Italians had the cables marked on their maps  but  we  did notâ¦ and there was a two-star [general] who flat out lied about it in a press conference.
âYou know  this is a situation that I like to call the unbelievable  unimaginable  unexpected moments that training just canât prepare you for â  Schweitzer  said. âI got rid of the tape  not because of the flight  but because that was my worst nightmareâ¦ I didnât want to look at my smiling face while flying a low-altitude flight  which was something I loved to doâand then all of a sudden  tragedy.â
In a 2015 email to The Daily Beast via a public-affairs spokesperson   he  wrote that the Cavalese cable-car incident has been fully investigated  but  he  also offered  his  condolences.
âI would like to extend my heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected by this tragedy â  he  wrote.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Katharina Kreppel is Negative . Face masks are placed on children in Antananarivo   Madagascar   on Tuesday . ( Alexander Joe / Associated Press ) Some might consider the plague a thing of the past   buried deep in medieval history . But it thrives in Madagascar   where the disease is a seasonal worry . And this year   the country is experiencing what may be its deadliest outbreak in years : About 194 people are suspected to have fallen ill from the plague since August   and 33 have died as of Saturday   according to Madagascar ’ s Ministry of Health . Experts say they can ’ t remember the last time the death toll was so high . In 2016   63 people died over the course of the year   out of 275 cases . The majority of this year ’ s cases are pneumonic plague   which can be transmitted through coughing   according to the BBC . This form of the disease can kill an infected person in less than a day . To slow the outbreak   Madagascar is temporarily shutting down its public institutions . Government authorities ordered two universities to close   and other schools have shut their doors across the country   including the capital   Antananarivo   so buildings can be sprayed with insecticides . The World Health Organization has shipped more than a million doses of antibiotics to the country   the BBC reported . “ We are scared — all of these deaths show that the situation is serious  ” Miora Herinjatovo   55   told Agence France - Presse on Wednesday . She got a mask from a hospital — unlike her husband   who failed to get one after standing in line outside a pharmacy . He instead collected a handful of generic antibiotics . [ The plague   alive and well in Madagascar ] Experts say the outbreak started in late August   when a 31 - year - old man from the eastern city of Toamasina took a trip inland to Ankazobe   where the plague lives in rodent and flea populations . While there   he came down with malaria - like symptoms . He died in a taxi home   passing through Antananarivo   the WHO said in a Sept . 28 statement . The WHO said that many of the cases identified are directly or indirectly linked to the man   which is evidence of person - to - person transmission . Of the 31 people who made direct or indirect contact with him   four became ill and died   the WHO said . Antananarivo and Toamasina were among the most - infected cities : As of Sept . 30   Antananarivo and its suburbs had 27 cases and seven deaths   and Toamasina had 18 cases and five deaths . Antananarivo has about 1 . 3 million residents   while Toamasina has about 237   000   according to a 2014 count by the National Institute of Statistics in Madagascar . Public gatherings   including jazz festivals and basketball tournaments   have been called off to prevent the plague from spreading   according to media reports . One of the people killed by the plague last week was a basketball coach from the Seychelles   who died while visiting the capital for a tournament   according to a WHO report released Thursday . “ Right now   we have the outbreak of a very infectious   fatal disease  ” said Katharina Kreppel   an epidemiologist at the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania   who spent four years conducting field research in Madagascar . “ If people don ’ t notice fast enough   or don ’ t have access to health care fast enough   they die very quickly .” [ There ’ s plague in Arizona . Authorities warn of fleas that can infect people and pets .] This plague shares the same bacterium   yersinia pestis   that caused the “ Black Death ” pandemic in Europe during the 14th century . The most common form of the plague in Madagascar was   until this year   the bubonic plague   spread to humans through infected fleas that contracted the infection from small animals they bit   like rats . The disease is typically spread to humans by the bite of an infected flea   according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . The bubonic plague is often treatable with antibiotics . If left untreated   though   the bacteria can spread through the bloodstream to the lungs and cause pneumonic plague — a deadly   more infectious form that ’ s now spreading throughout Madagascar . Symptoms of the pneumonic plague are similar to the common cold   according to the CDC . The symptoms of bubonic plague are fever   headaches   chills and weakness — as well as one or more swollen and painful lymph nodes   known as buboes . The bacteria multiply in the lymph node closest to where the bacteria entered the body   usually through the infected flea bite   according to the CDC . If an infected person isn ’ t given antibiotics   the bacteria can spread to other parts of the body . Should the bubonic plague become pneumonic   the person will develop shortness of breath   chest pain and sometimes bloody or watery mucous . The pneumonia may cause respiratory failure and shock . All forms of plague   if untreated   can progress rapidly to death   according to the CDC . There have been three major plague pandemics : The Justinian plague   which broke in the Byzantine Empire in AD 541 ; the “ Black Death  ” which originated in China in 1334 and spread to Europe ; and the Modern Plague   which began in China in the 1860s and appeared in Hong Kong by 1894   according to the CDC . It was during the last pandemic that scientists identified the link between the bacteria and infectious flea bites   and rat - associated plague was soon brought under control in most urban areas . The plague has since been controlled in most countries with insecticides   according to the CDC . And since it can be treated with antibiotics   the spread of the disease is usually prevented if promptly identified . The plague is most commonly found in sub - Saharan Africa and Madagascar   areas which account for more than 95 percent of reported cases   according to the CDC . Madagascar often sees the highest numbers of bubonic plague cases worldwide   about 600 infections annually . Madagascar has been in the throes of a political crisis since 2009 and has become one of the poorest countries in the world   with more than 92 percent of the population living on less than $ 2 a day   according to the World Bank Group . It ’ s lost a substantial portion of international aid   and its infrastructure has deteriorated . Once rice harvest season finishes at the end of summer   the rat population drops   as they don ’ t have as much food . Fleas begin looking for new hosts to bite and settle on humans . As it is an island   Madagascar is home to species that transmit the plague and often aren ’ t found anywhere else    Kreppel  told The Washington Post . While Madagascar ’ s scientists have monitored plague patterns for years and have the knowledge to mitigate the spread of this new   pneumonic plague   the money and resources to do so aren ’ t available    Kreppel  said . There isn ’ t adequate funding for insecticides   spraying equipment or antibiotics   she said   and there aren ’ t enough health facilities to house quarantined patients . The country can ’ t afford the vehicles required to travel to isolated villages   should the disease spread further    Kreppel  said . “ If an outbreak like this happened in the U . S . or Europe or anywhere else it would be controlled quite fast   because the resources are there  ” she said . This post has been updated .
