Crystal Mangum. She falsely accused Duke lacrosse players of rape, placing a black mark on many people’s lives. She set fire to her ex-boyfriend’s clothes, nearly burning down a house filled with children. And now? She’s allegedly stabbed her live-in boyfriend with a kitchen knife. Repeatedly. Crystal Mangum was arrested early Sunday morning after a 911 caller identified her as having stabbed boyfriend Reginald Daye, reports The Smoking Gun. The attack is apparently the end result of a heated argument, reports ABC News....

As the saying goes, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. In this case, a few eggs must have been broken to get to a settlement between Land O’Lakes, Inc., it’s two subsidiaries and plaintiffs, in an price fixing suit over eggs. Plaintiffs allege the company, along with others, was a part of a long-running conspiracy to limit the production and drive up the price of eggs....

In a controversial case out of Florida, an appellate court judge ordered a criminal defendant to tell police his iPhone passcode. This ruling is significant as it has been routinely held that a court order could not compel a defendant to give up his passcode (although a court could order a person to touch their fingerprint to a fingerprint sensor). Fortunately, this ruling may only affect Floridians. The appeals judge is being criticized for missing the mark in this ruling, particularly when it comes to analogizing cases....

Ads for POM Wonderful make the drink seem like it will make you instantly healthier. But the Federal Trade Commission calls the ads deceptive, and has told the company to take them down. The FTC regulates advertising, among other things, and requires that all claims made in ads be truthful. For health claims, that means the company needs to back its statements with scientific research, which is where POM ran into trouble....

George Zimmerman’s parents are suing comedian Roseanne Barr over a not-so-funny tweet that publicized their home address after their son shot and killed Trayvon Martin. Although Barr later deleted the tweet, Robert and Gladys Zimmerman allege that she sought to “cause a lynch mob to descend” on their Florida home when she publicly posted their address, according to documents obtained by The Smoking Gun. The Zimmermans are suing Barr for emotional distress and invasion of privacy, and want at least $15,000 in damages....

Hillary Clinton has a lot on her plate right now – like trying to win the Democratic presidential primary in California – so she was no doubt hoping to avoid a family scandal. But, as news outlets love to remind us, family scandals are common for the Clintons, and the latest comes from Bill’s step-brother who was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Redondo Beach on Sunday night....

Cinco de Mayo may be the perfect time for a fiesta, but it certainly isn’t time for driving under the influence. So if you’re going out for a few margaritas or a round of beers tonight, heed the following advice, ‘cause seriously, the last thing you need is a Cinco de Mayo DUI. First, to dispel any misinformation out there: As long as police are conducting your local Cinco de Mayo DUI checkpoints in a reasonable manner, the Supreme Court considers them to be within the confines of the law....

Every move you make and every picture you take is posted online, so do you mind if people are tracking you? There are more than a dozen smartphone applications on the market that allow people to spy on you surreptitiously and many more with various tracking abilities requiring your consent. The Government Accountability Office just reviewed 40 such tracking apps at the request of the Senate Judiciary Committee, finding possible violations of federal wiretapping laws and stalking statutes when the apps are used as suggested....

Thousands of viewers tuned in to watch sisterly antics and the rapid disintegration of Kim Kardashian’s marriage on the reality show Kourtney and Kim Take New York. Now, reports are surfacing that Kris Humphries wants an annulment - not a divorce - from Kim and their 72-day marriage. Humphries is said to be going forward with filing the necessary legal papers within a few days. Kardashian fans might be wondering why Humphries wants an annulment rather than divorce....

A Kentucky man was arrested for a DUI for riding a horse. You heard that right - a DUI on a horse. Danny Reynolds says that he had a couple beers at his son’s birthday party before going on a ride down a trail with some friends, reports WKYT. Reynolds, 55, says that he is diabetic and stopped along the trial to eat some crackers to get his blood sugar level up....

The promoter of a monster truck show was tragically killed by a monster truck in Madison, Wisconsin this weekend. George Eisenhart Jr.’s death came one day after he touted the show’s safety, and about a week after a boy was killed at a monster truck show in Tacoma. The AP reports that Eisenhart, president and owner of Image Productions and a 15 year veteran of putting on monster truck shows, was killed after walking in front of one of the trucks during Saturday night’s Monster Nationals Monster Truck & Thrill Show in Madison....

A federal judge has approved a deal to dismiss the lawsuit against Paula Deen. So it looks as though the most recent development in the ex-Food Network star’s legal saga may also be the last one. Deen’s legal troubles began when former employee Lisa Jackson filed a lawsuit against the celebrity chef and her brother, accusing them of racial discrimination and sexual harassment. The recipe turned out even more disastrous, after Deen admitted in a deposition to using the N-word in the past....

The U.S. Senate on Thursday voted in favor of a bill that would give the District of Columbia a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, but the bill’s ties to local gun issues and a potential constitutional fight over D.C. voting rights mean that the measure is not without controversy. The Senate’s 61-37 approval of the D.C. House seat is expected to be echoed by a “yes” vote in the House of Representatives as early as next week, and President Obama is likely to sign the bill based on past statements indicating his support for the law....

What do “Jersey Shore’s” Snooki and JWoww, and some local zoning ordinances have in common? Well, an actual connection, for starters. According to USA Today, not only do residents of Pelican Island, New Jersey, have serious concerns about Nicole “Snookie” Polizzie and Jennifer “JWoww” Farley’s new reality TV show being taped at a home in their town, but these plans actually might violate a local regulation. Shooting a TV show at a house on Sunset Drive South could violate the town’s zoning ordinances, and a letter is on its way to inform Mike Loundy, the owner of the property where the show was being taped....

For the first time in years, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether the lethal injection method of execution is constitutional. The decision to hear the case comes shortly after one Oklahoma state prisoner out of four to file the case was already executed. At least that won’t happen to the other three petitioning prisoners: The High Court granted a stay of their executions until the justices make a ruling....

Guaranteed next-day on-time delivery was a false claim and now United Parcel Service is paying. UPS workers illegally recorded inaccurate delivery times on packages sent by government customers, prompting a $4 million settlement, the New York State Attorney General announced yesterday. The shipping giant violated the false claims acts of 14 states and three major US cities. NY AG Eric Schneiderman stated, “Corporations that improperly profit at the expense of taxpayers will be held to account....

It’s welcome news to many criminal defendants that they can have their record expunged. While expungement might not be perfect – most law enforcement agencies will still be able to see your arrest history and any convictions – it means potential employers will have a harder time seeing your mistakes. But which mistakes are eligible for expungement, and which will remain on your permanent record? For the most part, expungement eligibility is determined by the severity of the crime and the person’s criminal record....

You can never be too careful, even when you’re opening mail that’s been delivered to your home. Right now, it appears that the threat of receiving a bomb in the mail is limited to Austin, Texas. The latest explosion occurred at a FedEx facility near San Antonio, Texas, but it’s believed that the package was bound for Austin. In addition to the explosion, a second package that contained an explosive device was found by authorities, but it hadn’t exploded....

Of course, if you were completely sober or you weren’t in actual physical control of a vehicle, you’re probably not guilty of driving under the influence. (And, of course, if either of those are the case, you’re probably not going to be charged with a DUI in the first place.) But most DUIs aren’t black and white cases of guilt or innocence. You may feel like the officer pulled you over for no reason, improperly obtained a blood or breath sample, or lied about your performance on the roadside sobriety tests....

The halls of Hogwarts will remain standing – and so will the gift shops at Universal theme parks. NBC Universal has settled the Harry Potter font lawsuit, and will continue to plaster merchandise with P22 Type Foundry’s Cezanne Regular font. Alas, your Hogwarts stationary set and Hedwig pillow will not become collectors’ items for another few years. For those who don’t keep abreast of celebrity font lawsuits, P22 sued the studio over its use of the Cezanne Regular font on Harry Potter merchandise sold at its Universal theme parks....
