| Obama administration urges freer access to cellphone records Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Congress should pass a law to give investigators freer access to certain cellphone records, an Obama administration official said on Thursday, in remarks that raised concern among advocates of civil liberties and privacy. Jason Weinstein, a deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's criminal division, argued that requirements for warrants at early stages of investigations would "cripple" prosecutors and law enforcement. The U.S. ... |
| Parents of boy forcibly tattooed sue school district Posted: (Note: Contains offensive language in paragraph three) LITTLETON, New Hampshire (Reuters) - The parents of a New Hampshire teenager who was assaulted and forcibly tattooed on the buttocks by four older students during school hours have filed suit against the school district. Michael and Tammy Austin are seeking unspecified damages from the district in Concord, New Hampshire, which they say failed to provide a safe environment for their son and to protect him from bullying in the May 2010 incident. ... |
| Crackdown on drug thieves has trails to Florida Posted: (Reuters) - Prosecutors in a number of states have charged dozens of suspects with stealing prescription drugs from warehouses and tractor trailers across the country, including two brothers accused of grabbing more than $70 million of prescription drugs two years ago from an Eli Lilly & Co warehouse in Connecticut. The national crackdown on heists of prescription drugs involved coordinated arrests and indictments in Connecticut, New Jersey and Florida. The U.S. ... |
| Alabama Senate passes tax for bankrupt county Posted: (Reuters) - The Alabama State Senate on Thursday approved a bill allowing cash-strapped Jefferson County to revive a local jobs tax that county officials say is central to working out its $4.27 billion bankruptcy case. The bill, which must also be approved by the legislature's lower house and the governor, would allow any county in Alabama seeking relief from creditors under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to levy and collect taxes. The bill is worth about $60 million a year to Jefferson County and passed in Montgomery with a vote of 16 to 11, with one senator abstaining. ... |
| Two arrested after immigrants found stashed in Texas houses Posted: EDINBURG, Texas (Reuters) - Two men face charges of harboring illegal immigrants after authorities found 115 migrants inside three small South Texas houses, some of whom had not had access to food or water for days, federal court records published on Thursday showed. Police responded to an emergency call on Wednesday from an immigrant inside one of the stash houses. The home was bound with padlocks and chains from the outside, with bars covering the windows, said Oscar Trevino, a police spokesman in Edinburg, about 15 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. ... |

| California medical pot crackdown hits upscale Santa Barbara Posted: LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A crackdown on California's medical marijuana supply chain by federal authorities targeting the state's illegal drug trade arrived this week in the affluent, coastal county of Santa Barbara. The latest actions include three asset forfeiture lawsuits filed against properties housing marijuana operations and warning letters sent to people associated with 10 cannabis dispensaries deemed "illegal marijuana stores," federal officials said. "All known marijuana stores in Santa Barbara County are now the subject of federal enforcement actions," a statement from the U.S. ... |

The move comes days after Democratic Governor Jerry Brown told prison officials to consider using the single-drug execution protocol, and ahead of a November ballot measure that seeks to repeal capital punishment in the state. ... |

The F-15E Strike Eagle crashed on Thursday morning, the Air Force said in a statement. Both pilots ejected from the plane safely, and the cause of the crash is being investigated.

| Fat guarantees helped weaken Dewey & LeBoeuf Posted: NEW YORK (Reuters) - In its race to become one of the world's biggest law firms, Dewey & LeBoeuf doled out rich compensation guarantees to attract and keep top-shelf legal talent. Now, as the firm bleeds partners and clients on an almost-hourly basis, these guarantees -- which Dewey appears to have issued more widely than other firms -- are being blamed for the firm's unraveling. Compensation guarantees are promises to pay attorneys a certain dollar amount no matter how the firm or the individual performs. ... |
