A judge let a man out of a mental hospital who was serving time for an assault on a social worker, only to have him go on to burn a woman on a train to make her night even worse. Plus, FanDuel is changing the game, and if your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute so you're still in it until the final whistle.
