Man arrested in lottery winner kidnappingReply
If you take a person across State lines then it is a Federal Crime and the FBI will automatically be called in. As someone who has extensive knowledge of the law, I cannot understand why he is getting only a $300K bail. He only has to post $30K and if a relative owns a home, a bail bondsman will take that as collateral. Thats absurd considering someone died. He should be charged with kidnapping, conspiracy to blackmail, first degree murder, using a weapon during the commission of a crime, and pr

Raised hackles and shears over a lottery card mix-upReply
I am happy to hear that crime has been reduced in Manhattan. Jose Cardoza learned a lesson the hard way. Keep your hands off another person's property. But threatening another person with pruning shears is a serious crime. I wonder what the District Attorney will ask for in his trial or pretrial hearing.

Thieves target scratch-off lottery tickets in 'snatch-and-grab'Reply
Definitely possible though that's what good defense attorney's are for. Crime is crime but punishments fall in ranges and this is a case that will fall on the lenient side of it.

19-year-old shot over winning Kentucky lottery ticketReply
Both criminals probably have rap sheets. This is not their first crime. Using a fire arm to commit a crime will get you five years in most States.

When I hit a jackpot I will...Reply
It's cold here in Albuquerque teens at night. Abq used to be a great place to live but now it's full of crime. Carjackings,home invasions, crime everyday. The town is full of drug addicts terrorizing the public. I would probably move to Santa Fe or Taos if I won the big one. But I have the grandkids and family here. I have a huge labador in the back and alarms etc..

Hot Lotto case moves to jury for deliberationsReply
I don't think there's enough evidence that proves, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he's guilty, so there's a good chance he'll be found not guilty. We all want justice, but if the evidence isn't there, it isn't there. If you think someone getting away with a crime is bad, try being one of the many people who have been found guilty of a crime they didn't commit, just rotting away in prison.

California lottery winner arrestedReply
Just because you are charged with a crime doesn't mean that you are guilty of that crime.There could be a logical explanation why he was helping the lady with the stolen Honda.The writer of this story could be leaving out facts that are crucial to this story just to make the story more interseting.

Jury awards jailed illegal alien $750,000 lottery ticketReply
Let's be real. The guy broke US laws (by being here illegally) but did not break the Lottery Laws (which allow him to play regardless of his immigration status). He followed the lottery laws and won big. He deserves every penny of it. Suppose the guy was perfectly American but also a, yet to be caught and jailed, drug dealer or murderer. Does such an American criminal deserve a lottery win? Bottom line is that the illegal alien's crime is willfully working like a dog for measly pay to bui

A crime which caused massive shock at the time and gathered huge publicity, it was the first known kidnapping for ransom in Australian history. The police investigation that led to the capture and conviction of his murderer, Stephen Leslie Bradley, is regarded as a textbook example of forensic investigation. The kidnapping is arguably Au
