Logwood showed no emotion and did not speak during the hearing.Logwood earlier pleaded no contest to a single voluntary manslaughter charge in the 2008 killing of Eric Ford, 22, at an East Oakland gas station. Logwood also pleaded guilty to a firearm-related sentencing enhancement, and also acknowledged being on probation at the time of his arrest.The sentence came just four months after McCannon rejected another offer from Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price over concerns the county’s new t...

Exxon Mobil is buying pipeline operator Denbury, the beneficiary of changes in U.S. climate policy that intended to reduce the amount of emissions released into the atmosphere. The all-stock deal valued at $4.9 billion puts Denbury’s capabilities related to carbon capture front and center.

Exxon Mobil Corp. said Thursday that the acquisiton gives it the largest owned and operated carbon dioxide pipeline network in the...
