(ABC NEWS) There were bullet holes in the window screen and the curtains, but the main witness said the two shooters were inside and at the foot of her bed. The witness said she saw the muzzle flashes from two guns, but ballistics testing said that the bullets at the scene were fired from only one gun. People at a nearby party said they heard the gunshots, and if the shots were fired inside the bedroom, auditory testing said that wouldn't have been possible. And there were dozens of people at that birthday party down the street from the shooting that would have testified that the suspects were at the party -– therefore providing an alibi- – that weren’t called as witnesses during the trial.

(CNN) Demetrius Anderson walked out of a Connecticut state prison in 2006 thinking he was ready to leave behind his criminal past and build a new life as an upstanding citizen. The Philadelphia native stayed in Connecticut and stayed out of trouble. He has two jobs, lives in a nice apartment and belongs to a church. But last week, eight US Marshals came to his home. He was certain they were after the wrong person. He hadn't committed a crime in more than 13 years. They insisted he come with them to court because he still had a 16-month federal sentence to serve for crimes he committed in Philadelphia. A judge issued a bench warrant and Anderson was due back in court April 4, when it's possib

Careful what you post online. The Social Security Administration may start screening your Facebook and Instagram posts to evaluate your disability claim. At the moment, the SSA's disability investigations units and the Office of the Inspector General use social media posts to flag fraudulent activity. However, in the 2020 budget proposal released Monday, the SSA said it's planning to expand that usage to review and evaluate applicants for disability benefits. SSA spokesperson Mark Hinkle said the work is "ongoing." "We are evaluating how social media could be used by disability adjudicators in assessing the consistency and supportability of evidence in a claimant's case file," the agency sai

There are so many stupid things on Fox News that it’s worth ignoring the vast majority of them. But this one? Hall of Fame stuff!!! Let’s bring in Katie Pavlich, a Fox News contributor and someone who said a very, very, very, very stupid thing on Tuesday’s Outnumbered. Here’s Pavlich, full of outrage and ignorance, responding to Elizabeth Warren’s call to study reparations (emphasis mine): They keep blaming America for the sin of slavery but the truth is, throughout human history, slavery existed, and America came along as the first country to end it within 150 years. And we get no credit for that to move forward and try to make good on that. The “praise us for ending slavery” thing is bad e

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF / AP) — A man who spent more than six years in prison after police framed him for murder is expected to receive a $13.1 million settlement from the city of San Francisco on Tuesday. The Board of Supervisors scheduled a vote to approve the payment to settle a civil rights lawsuit filed by Jamal Trulove. Trulove was an aspiring actor and hip-hop artist when he was arrested in the 2007 murder of his friend and neighbor in a low-income housing project. A jury convicted him of murder in 2010 and he was sentenced to life in prison. An appeals court overturned the conviction in 2014 and ordered a new trial. He was acquitted in a 2015 retrial. Three years later, Trulove sued th

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (CBS Local) — Two Head Start teachers are on paid administrative leave after preschoolers were allegedly forced to strip off all of their clothes and stand in a closet as part of punishment for misbehaving, police in East St. Louis, Illinois, said. The teachers and students are part of the Head Start program operated by Southern Illinois University Edwardsville at the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Center. “Children would misbehave in class and the teacher would have them disrobe and stand them, make them stand inside a closet for five or 10 minutes as their discipline,” SIUE Police Chief Kevin Schmoll told CBS affiliate KMOV. “Then they would redress and join the class.” Schmoll

A Virginia school resource officer has been identified as an active member of the white nationalist group Identity Evropa. In fact, it appears he was in charge of guiding new recruits through the application process. According to the Huffington Post, Daniel Morley, a 31-year-old cop working at L.C. Bird High School, was identified by anti-fascist activists, also known as antifa, who pored over Identity Evropa’s leaked group chat logs. The data was published by independent media organization Unicorn Riot. Antifa reached out to the Richmond Times-Dispatch last week to tip the paper about Morley’s affiliation, reports The Hill. The organization alleged that Morley, who was hired by Bird High Sc

(CNN) The grand mahogany table of the White House State Dining Room was set with white roses, fine china, silver platters stacked with Big Macs and pouches of fried chicken sandwiches, and bowls of extra sauce. The champion North Dakota State Bison football team was in town, and McDonald's and Chick-Fil-A were on the lunch menu. "We could've had chefs, we could have, but we had fast food -- because I know you people," President Donald Trump said to laughter. He referenced the chicken sandwiches set before the podium. "Chick-Fil-A, they say? Chick-Fil-A," he said. Earlier this year, the President personally paid for a fast food spread for the Clemson University football team, citing the gover

It’s blackface in a bottle. That’s what outraged Brooklyn residents are calling a marketing ploy to sell spring water in 40-ounce containers that look like malt liquor bottles. An upstart company founded by a Hollywood actor is in hot water with NYCHA activists after selling H20 in bottles shaped like Colt 45, Olde English and Private Stock — beverages historically targeted to generations of people in black neighborhoods. Ounce Water, founded in 2015 by Sons of Anarchy star Theo Rossi and his wife Meghan, is trying to reach urban communities by selling the drinking water with the tagline “Get Ounced!” and a hip-hop-influenced marketing campaign. But the Rossis’ burgeoning plan to hydrate urb

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's auction for some of his memorabilia, which included four of six NBA championship rings, closed Sunday. The six-time MVP grossed nearly $3 million, according to Goldin Auctions. In a blog post in mid-February, he explained why he was auctioning off items from his decorated professional career. "Why then am I auctioning off my sports memorabilia? I’ve been a collector most of my life. When I was in high school and broke, I collected books that I loved: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, and all the other adventure stories that made me envision an exciting life beyond the confines of my New York City housing project. That’s

COBB COUNTY, GA – Twelve-year-old rapper Corey J (also known as Lil C-Note) was arrested last October for allegedly selling CDs at a Georgia mall, sparking outrage across social media. According to CBS 46, Corey — who once appeared on The Ellen Show — showed up at a Cobb County courthouse on Tuesday (February 26) to face charges of disorderly conduct with violence, criminal trespassing and an obstruction felony.
