A police officer shot and killed an 83-year-old woman in her own backyard.

Delma Towler dialed 911 to report a burglary but when police arrived, one officer killed her outside her home in Altavista, Va.

According to published reports (AP, 3/14/13), Sen. Charles Schumer, speaking about his proposed background-check bill, said, "The bill explicitly says there is no registration, explicitly says no confiscation." It's good that Mr. Schumer put this on the table, it's a step in the right direction.

Several months ago, Annie Dookhan, a former chemist in a state crime lab, told police that she messed up big time. Dookhan now stands accused of falsifying test results in as many as 34,000 cases.

As a result, lawyers, prosecutors and judges used to operating in a world of “beyond a reasonable doubt” now have nothing but doubt.

DANVILLE, N.H. (WHDH) -- New Hampshire state police are investigating a death inside the home of the Danville police chief.

Police rushed to Police Chief Wade Parsons’ home after someone called 911 shortly after 7 p.m. Monday. When troopers arrived they found one person dead. Officials are not saying how that person died.

Police are not saying how Parsons and the victim know each other.

It would seem that Hollywood's answer to criminals is to make duplicate laws making illegal things illegal.

Wait, what?

Patrick Tuter was terminated from the Garland Police Department for violating department pursuit and use of force policies.

Tuter had tried to pull over Michael Vincent Allen on August 31 last year, but Allen refused to stop leading to a 30-minute car chase.

Tuter shot at Allen 41 times during the chase. Three shots hit Allen and he died at the scene.

Apparently, you don't need to be an inmate to find yourself incarcerated in San Diego. And this is not a one-time problem, either. It's one of those ongoing-type issues in San Diego.

A California lawyer was left in a waiting room at a San Diego jail, after guards forgot about him, according to NBC News.

The lawyer, Erubey Lopez, was visiting a client. He was left in the waiting room without a cell phone, as the prison didn't allow the use of cell phones inside.

“Why would you prefer criminals to have the ability to out-gun law-abiding citizens?” he demanded. “Whose side are you on?”

It’s a question many people have wondered about.
