On Thursday, an eastern Pennsylvania woman was found guilty of first degree murder for stabbing her fiance to death just hours before their wedding last summer.

Law enforcement officials in Florida believe they know who was behind the May 5th shooting death of a Lauderhill man — because the mastermind accidentally butt-dialed 911 and practically confessed to the crime.

An ironically named mother in North Carolina had her own teenage son arrested after he allegedly took her Pop-Tarts without permission.

Can't wait until August for the new—and, sadly, final—episodes of Breaking Bad? Then follow the pitfalls of Stephen Doran, a 57-year-old middle school tutor with stage III cancer who was busted this week for allegedly trafficking meth.

It was not inevitable that Joe Francis would issue an apology for his remarks to The Hollywood Reporter suggesting the jurors who recently convicted him for unlawful imprisonment should be executed. But what was inevitable is that if an apology were to surface, it would be full of assy qualifications, self-entitlement and victim-playing. And so it has, and so it is. Below is the "apology" Francis issued because someone obviously told him to do it, although they failed to inform him how to do it:

Supporters of the NYPD's "stop and frisk" minority harassment program often argue that, hey, it's worth stopping and searching thousands of people with virtually no probable cause, because it makes this city a safer place. According to a new NYCLU analysis, though, it mostly just sends people to jail for weed.

After we published our post on the Hollywood Reporter story, in which Joe Francis said that the "retarded" jury that convicted him earlier this month "should be shot dead," we received an email from one of the 12 not-so-angry people who sat on jury. We followed up with this person by phone to produce the following account of the trial and the response to Francis' insults and allegations.

Philadelphia police are asking for the public’s help to track down a young man who recently picked a very silly, slippy night to halfheartedly attempt a murder.

Crooks broke into a KGO-TV news van outside an Oakland art gallery on Tuesday, but that's become common in California's city of constant crime. What's weird is that the burglars also broke into the private security vehicle assigned to protect the news van.

Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis has gone wild and it's way better than a bath full of bouncing, barely (or not-at-all) legal coeds. On May 7, the day after he was found guilty of false imprisonment (three counts), assault causing great bodily injury (one count), and dissuading a witness from reporting (one count), The Hollywood Reporter nabbed an exclusive interview with the supreme douche, who was highly emotional and, as revealed later in the ensuing profile, drunk.

An Ohio woman with an unfortunate appellation was indicted by a grand jury last week, several months after she allegedly struck and seriously injured a bicyclist while operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol.

More than 100 mourners turned up on Saturday night to a candlelight vigil for Mark Carson, the 32-year-old gay man shot and killed by a homophobe early Saturday morning in New York City. Carson's murder, which is being treated as a hate crime, is the latest and most violent in a recent string of anti-gay attacks in the city, a place whose progressive leanings have yet to fully overpower a resilient streak of homophobia.

A Colombian mugger's cunning plan to steal a defenseless woman's cellphone was nearly foolproof — except for the part where he was run over by a bus while fleeing, and ended up looking like a fool.

Kaitlyn Hunt, an 18-year-old high school senior from Indian River County, Florida, is facing felony charges for engaging in a sexual relationship with another girl at her school.

There are lots of embarrassing ways to get busted for a crime. You could flee police only to get attacked by an alligator, or you could accidentally lock your victim in their own gun closet to predictable results. Dumber still? Butt dialing 911 as you're in the midst of a robbery.

Last week, the Cannes Film Festival was the site of several movie-worthy crimes of its own, as both a a million dollar jewel heist and a shooting caught on camera reportedly took place on the same day. And on Sunday, news broke that another high-profile burglary hit the French Riviera during the prestigious festival.

When Caleb "Kai" Lawrence McGillvary, the hitchhiker hero, was arrested yesterday for allegedly killing a man police believe he'd had a sexual romp with, some were stunned. How could someone who'd seemed as hippy-dippy harmless and heroic as McGillvary turn out to be a killer? Sadly, if a Facebook post on what appears to be McGillvary's account is to be believed, a tendency toward violence may have been bred into him via a torturous and traumatic childhood.

The victim of a home invasion managed to turn the tables on his attackers after they unwittingly forced him into his own gun closet.

A Potsdam, New York, man was arrested Wednesday and charged with public lewdness for allegedly rubbing a grocery store's packaged pepperoni stick on his exposed penis and then putting it back on the shelf.

The testimony of a dying and paralyzed man — who identified his assailant by blinking his eyes — helped convict an Ohio man of murder.
