In a recent criminal case, a serial rapist was sentenced to an additional 12 years in prison for the rape of a prostitute. The rapist was sobbing in court as the judge read the sentence. According to a New York Criminal Lawyer, the judge remarked that he was unmoved by the attacker’s tears.

The woman was in a rocky relationship with the defendant, who is accused of having torture the woman to death. The phone calls ranged from playful and perhaps even at times loving, to harsh and angry. Some of the calls verged on violent. According to a New York Criminal Lawyer, the defendant’s lawyer said that evidence of a difficult relationship is not evidence of murder.

Unfortunately for the defendant, the tapes do have various threats on them, and while some do not have outright threats from the defendant, they do show that the victim feared for her life and was unsure of what he ex was going to do. One tape even has her saying that their relationship may be the end of her.

The principal was relieved of his duties at Community School 50 in the Bronx after a Special Commissioner of Investigations determined that the principal had helped to rig the bids, a New York Criminal Lawyer has learned.

The case of a Brooklyn woman who claims she’s the victim of mistaken identity has been put on hold for another two months. She is accused of running over a traffic agent’s foot, according to a New York Criminal Lawyer.

Sources tell New York Criminal Lawyers that prosecutors have requested a postponement in the case. “I’m so disappointed,” said the defendant to a New York Criminal Lawyer, as she left Brooklyn Criminal Court. “I thought they would just drop the case. Now we have to come back again.”

The 39-year-old woman was arrested and accused of attacking a traffic agent after she left a pharmacy in Sheepshead Bay. She emerged to find her car being ticketed.

She could face 12 to 36 years in prison, a New York Criminal Lawyer relates. “I’ve always known that she did it. I’ve known for 20 years,” a close relative of the slain man said to a New York Criminal Lawyer. “There was nobody else that could have done it.” “It’s very painful,” the relative added.

The prosecutor in the case questioned the woman until she finally admitted to conspiring with her divorce lawyer in the 1990 murder. “Did [your divorce lawyer] tell you he was going to hire a hit man?” the prosecutor asked the woman. She answered in an emotionless voice, “Yes.”

A Bronx judge continues to deny allegations of gambling addiction, according to a New York Criminal Lawyer. It is also alleged that he is the target of loansharks who are known to hurt people who don’t pay them. If he is in danger, the judge and his lawyer refuse to say whether he owed $500,000 to the Queens woman who claimed he owed her the cash.

The woman sued the judge, and he did not show up to work the next day. She claims he borrowed the money from her to avoid being pursued by the loansharks he owed. The judge’s lawyer has said his client will fight the suit.

“[He] is not a gambler and has never been a gambler,” the lawyer said. “He’s never had a relationship with a loanshark.” He described the 57-year-old judge as a “social acquaintance” of the Queens woman, according to a New York Criminal Lawyer. They attended law school at SUNY at the same time.

A former copy was acquitted of assault after knocking a protester form his bike, according to a New York Criminal Lawyer, but he was convicted of lying about what did actually happen.

The verdict seems to rely upon a YouTube video of the incident that occurred in Times Square in 2008. The tape shows the rookie officer slamming into a biker, who had apparently been trying to avoid the cop.

The 24-year-old ex-cop claimed he arrested the biker, after the cyclist purposely ran into him, sources told a New York Criminal Lawyer. The ex-officer also claimed on the witness stand that his superiors ordered him to do something about the bikers during a protest.

Ultimate Fighting Championship star Tito Ortiz, 35, was charged with felony domestic violence against the mother of his twin boys, former porn star Jenna Jameson. The 36-year-old leading lady of XXX-rated movies told a New York Criminal Lawyer, “Tito is a loving, sweet man. I’ve always supported him. For him to lash out at me is shocking.”

When asked if she was going to press charges, she responded, “Oh, yeah!” “You have to press charges,” Jameson explained. “This isn’t just something you can get over.” Jameson’s father, an ex-Las Vegas cop, told a New York Criminal Lawyer that his daughter obtained a restraining order immediately against Ortiz.

Ortiz himself denied being abusive, even as cops placed him in the back of a squad car. A brusque “No” was his only response when he was asked about the accusation by a cameraman during his arrest. Jameson’s father was at the house, owned by Ortiz, when the abuse occurred. He was the one who called 911, reporting a “disturbance” at 9:53 a.m.

A man convicted of molesting a young karate student will not return to jail, even though a Bronx judge ruled the offender would be unable to stop abusing young boys, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. The convicted sex offender abused a 10-year-old child while working as a martial arts instructor. When he was released from jail, the Attorney General’s office attempted to put him into civil confinement.

A Bronx jury ruled the man, 48, did not show any signs of mental illness. He was set free and currently resides in an upstate halfway group home. “(The convicted sex offender) has a mental disorder, pedophilia, and that he has serious difficulty controlling his unlawful conduct,” an Acting Supreme Court Judge informed a New York Criminal Lawyer.

The judge is unable to put aside the jury’s verdict, nor he can order a new trial, due to loopholes in a 2007 state mental hygiene law. New York Criminal Lawyers have confirmed that the prosecutors intend to appeal the case.
