CJA: ”Porn on a Plane” Professor Sentenced

Cidu Bill on Apr 23rd 2013

And yes, I really did try to think of a synonym for “prosecuted” that started with “P”

Also, some sidebars to the Boston Marathon bombings: fraudulent websites, the teen whom the New York Post accused of being the bomber, how this might affect future marathons, and why we shouldn’t discuss Chechnya.

Crimeweek Note

Cidu Bill on Apr 12th 2013

A blanket apology to some of you who recently commented on Crimeweek: like the CIDU site, comments by people who hadn’t posted there before get held for moderation (I knew that, of course) — but unlike on CIDU, I wasn’t being notified when a comment was sitting in limbo (I hadn’t known that).

Comments approved, problem corrected.

CJA: What can/should society do with ”bad seed” children?

Cidu Bill on Apr 1st 2013

The CJA site is actually on hiatus (until the new version goes live). I thought this was an interesting enough question to discuss, but it didn’t really belong on the CIDU site proper, so I dusted off my old Crimeweek site. I’m still going to use the “CJA” tag, though, because you’ve told me this helps you to quickly identify the crime-related posts. Such as: Two Fifth Graders Arrested in Rape/Murder Plot

You Be the Judge: The Glass Eye [CJA]

Cidu Bill on Feb 14th 2013

The (alleged) victim’s prosthetic eye pops out while he’s testifying against the man who (allegedly) half-blinded him. Do you declare a mistrial?

CJA (now with a link that works): Teacher fired for referring to her class as ”future criminals” in her Facebook update

Cidu Bill on Feb 8th 2013

As somebody who once worked as a substitute teacher in a classroom of demon-spawn seconds graders, I’m on the teacher’s side on this one.

Oh, and just for the record, since we were on the subject of my name yesterday, the whole time I was subbing, I avoided the pronunciation issue by having the kids call me “Mister B.”
