A Massachusetts woman confessed the insurance claims she filed on her own behalf and her husband’s were actually false – their injuries were self-inflicted, a New York Criminal Lawyer has learned. They had eaten glass particles, purposefully, as a part of their scam.

The woman pleaded guilty to a 23-count indictment charging her with fraud and conspiracy, among other offenses, sources told a New York Criminal Lawyer.

Allegedly, the couple had collected more than $200,000 in compensation by filing insurance claims against hotels, restaurants, and grocery stores, claiming the food they had eaten or bought from these places contained glass particles. This all occurred in a period between 1997 and 2005.

Demonstrations have changed with the advent of text messages and social networking and law enforcement has changed to match it, a New York Criminal Lawyer reports. FBI agents raided a house in Jackson Heights, Queens, and searched it for 16 hours. New York Criminal Lawyers believe the reason for the search was suspicion that the man who lived there had helped to coordinate protesters at the Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh.

The owner of the house, a 41-year-old social worker who was also a self-described anarchist, had already been arrested in Pittsburgh and charged with hindering apprehension or prosecution, criminal use of a communication facility and possession of instruments of crime. Pennsylvania State Police told a Bronx Criminal Lawyer that the social worker was found in a hotel room with computers and police scanners. He was using social networking sites to tell protesters where the police would be. The social worker has denied he did anything wrong.

The criminal complaint in Pennsylvania accuses him of “directing others, specifically protesters of the G-20 summit, in order to avoid apprehension after a lawful order to disperse.”

Braylon Edwards, wide receiver for the New York Jets, was arrested in New York at 5:15 a.m. on September 21, 2010 for driving under the influence, according to a New York Criminal Lawyer.

The arrest followed a big win against New England on Sunday and a charity event. He was pulled over in New York City, early in the morning and registered 0.16 on a Breathalyzer test – twice the limit New York legal driving limit for blood alcohol content, according to a New York Criminal Lawyer.

Should the arrest lead to a suspension, this could mean some big changes for the Jets. Their passing game will have to change, as will their style of offense. Another top receiver on the Jets is already on the bench for violating NFL rules, which means putting the pressure on other players. The Jets may have to run the ball a lot more than they’re used to.

Paris Hilton is apparently not welcome in the Land of the Rising Sun. She was turned away when she attempted to visit Japan because of her recent conviction for cocaine possession and had to fly back to the United States, New York Criminal Lawyers have learned.

“Paris is very disappointed and fought hard to keep her business commitments and see her fans, but she is forced to postpone her commitments in Asia,” her representative said to a Bronx Criminal Lawyer. “Paris understands and respects the rules and laws of the immigration authorities in Japan and fully wishes to cooperate with them. Paris looks forward to returning in the future to a country she loves and has been coming to for the past 10 years.”

Hilton had been detained and questioned by immigration officials for hours when she tried to enter Japan. She recently pleaded guilty to misdemeanor cocaine possession and obstructing a police officer. A motorcycle cop caught her and her boyfriend in Los Vegas when the officer smelled marijuana coming from the car. Hilton was found to be carrying cocaine at that point, as well.

All that’s left is the sentencing – which could be the death penalty.

A man convicted of breaking into a home has been convicted of capital murder in a case involving the horrific killings of a Connecticut nurse and her two daughters, sources tell New York Criminal Lawyers. The conviction was difficult for family members, including the father who survived the attacks, but now they must suffer another trial, in which a jury must decide whether the murderer should be put to death.

The 47-year-old crack addict and career burglar raped and strangled the nurse after binding her wrists and ankles in her living room. He also helped his 29-year-old accomplice murder the daughters, ages 17 and 11 by tying them to their beds, dousing them with gasoline and burning them alive. Both died of smoke inhalation, sources told a New York Criminal Lawyer.
