By Karl Denninger Gee, who could have come up with this one? Sue Lund lives about five blocks from where police engaged in a wild shootout April 19 with the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects and about eight doors down from where the one who escaped alive was found 18 hours later. Yet, during the all-day manhunt, she said police never searched her Franklin Street home or garden shed in Watertown, Massachusetts. Ten [...] A 31-year-old woman was arrested on Saturday and charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime in connection with the death of a man who was pushed onto the tracks of an elevated subway station in Queens and crushed by an oncoming train. The woman, Erika Menendez, selected her victim because she believed him to be a Muslim or a Hindu, according to Richard A. Brown, the Queens district attorney.
A Cook County judge who was re-elected Tuesday despite being suspended from the bench appeared in court a few hours later as a defendant in a battery case that her attorney said should be tossed because his client was “legally insane” at the time. Judge Cynthia Brim, 54, whose 18-year tenure has been marked by controversy, told reporters as she left a criminal courtroom Wednesday at 26th and California that she [...] WRAL.com A North Carolina man sentenced to spend decades in prison for a homegrown terrorist plot raised little resistance in court proceedings Monday against charges that he sought to have government witnesses in his earlier trial beheaded. Hysen Sherifi, 28, is acting as his own attorney and waved off early opportunities to resist the government’s case against him. His decision not to contest the government’s pre-trial motions means prosecutors will [...] A judge has the right to order an Army psychiatrist charged in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage to be forcibly shaved of his beard before his murder trial, military attorneys told an appeals court Wednesday. The attorneys, in a document filed on behalf of Col. Gregory Gross, contend that forcibly shaving Maj. Nidal Hasan would not violate the American-born Muslim’s religious freedoms and said it is similar to “and no [...] Helen A.S. Popkin [...]On Tuesday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that law enforcement officials don’t need a warrant to track suspects via cellphones. Attorneys argued to overturn [Melvin] Skinner’s many convictions, citing that the GPS location information that led to the defendant’s arrest was obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. This didn’t wash with the majority of judges [...] A Minneapolis coin dealer with a long history of thefts has been fined $295,000 by a Hennepin County district judge and must repay nine former customers more than $409,000. Judge Ivy Bernhardson said Robert Earl Gundy responded too late to a consumer fraud lawsuit filed last year alleging that he and others cheated elderly customers. The suit by the Minnesota Attorney General’s office named Gundy, his defunct coin company, Crescent Equities, and [...] TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An Iranian court has sentenced four people to death and given two more life sentences on charges linked to a $2.6 billion bank fraud described as the biggest financial scam in the country’s history, an official said Monday. The trial, which began in February, involved some of the country’s largest financial institutions and raised uncomfortable questions about corruption at senior levels in Iran’s tightly controlled economy. But few [...] An Alaska jury has convicted a man of assault and robbery charges for delivering a knockout punch to a then-7-year-old girl when she refused to give up her bike. Byron Syvinski, 34, of Anchorage, was convicted on Wednesday of robbery and six counts of assault in the June 2011 incident. He was accused of punching Am-marie Martin in the head. She fell unconscious and he allegedly hit her several more times. KTUU reported [...] A jury acquitted a man Thursday of assaulting a priest he says molested him more than three decades ago during a camping trip and left him with tormented memories that led to alcohol abuse, depression and suicide attempts. The verdict came after defendant William Lynch took the witness stand during the two-week trial and acknowledged punching Jerold Lindner several times on May 10, 2010. While previously pleading not guilty, Lynch said he [...] Judge Kenneth Lester has decided to once again release George Zimmerman on bond.
But this time, he’s making things more difficult for the neighborhood watchman accused of killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Lester granted Zimmerman a $1 million bond, according to documents from a Florida state attorney’s office. Lester initially revoked Zimmerman’s $150,000 bond after prosecutors claimed he and his wife lied about their finances in open court. In his ruling, issued today, Lester took Zimmerman to task for [...] A defendant in a court case had to spend the weekend in prison because the RBS computer failure prevented his bail money being processed, The Daily Telegraph has learnt. The unnamed man was granted bail at Canterbury Crown Court in Kent on Friday, on condition that a surety was paid before his release. But the computer glitch that has affected 17 million customers at RBS and two of its subsidiaries, NatWest and [...] Matt Bewig Federal prosecutors in North Carolina have been aware for nearly a year that dozens of North Carolinians currently incarcerated in federal prisons should not be there, but they have done next to nothing to help them, and in at least once case are actually trying to prevent an innocent man’s release, according to an investigation by USA Today. This bizarre, Kafkaesque, nightmare arose over the past nine [...] Amazing how 52 cops can respond so quickly to beat a diabetic to death, yet if you call them for help it takes them at least 45 minutes to get there ( I don’t call them for help though, who needs this kind of “help” ? ). http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/06/06/47162.htm BALTIMORE (CN) - When an architect crashed his car while suffering a diabetic reaction on the way home from Bible study class, state and county [...] ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The saliva of an HIV-infected man who bit a police officer doesn’t constitute a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument under state law, New York’s top court ruled Thursday.

(CN) – AT&T has aided and abetted cellphone thieves for years by reactivating stolen phones, particularly iPhones, and fraudulently telling customers that it “cannot” block calls to and from the stolen phones – so customers will have to buy new ones – a class action claims in Superior Court. It’s funny but it boils down to the competency of the lawyer as well as the judge. In non-judicial states the homeowner is the plaintiff, in judicial states the defendant.
