The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals reversed her murder conviction on Wednesday, ruling that presiding Judge Ray Elliot improperly influenced jurors when he told them not to be “one of those hard heads.” Despite claiming that she shot her friend due to mental insanity, an Oklahoma jury convicted Kassie Bills of first degree murder for which she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole....

No NYC eviction for tenant Margaret Maugenest. Maugenest has lived at the Gowanus loft at 280 Nevins Street in Brooklyn since 1984. She hasn’t paid rent since 2003. Despite living rent free for almost a decade, New York’s highest court ruled that the building owner Chazon LLC could not evict Maugenest. So how did Maugenest manage to live rent free in one of the New York’s high rent districts?

Facebook is good for a lot of things–stalking old boyfriends, stalking new crushes, ruining your marriage, and apparently prostitution. With the Craigslist crackdown on prostitution ads, the number of prostitutes using Facebook has grown. In fact, in a study of prostitutes and social media printed in Wired, a Columbia University professor found that 83% of prostitutes use Facebook to grow and advertise their business.

The families of the three women (from Maryland, Nebraska, and Washington) reached an out-of-court agreement with California companies that processed and sold spinach that was later found to be tainted with e. Coli. Terms of the settlement were not made public. In September of 2006, several produce companies recalled their spinach products after testing revealed that fresh spinach was contaminated with e....

A Nebraska man is suing his ex-wife and former father-in-law, accusing them of spying on him by hiding a recording device inside his daughter’s teddy bear. William Duane Lewton claims his ex-wife and her dad attempted to present the audio recordings in the couples’ divorce proceedings (the judge in the case found that they violated Nebraska’s wiretapping law and couldn’t be used as evidence). The lawsuit also raises issues regarding professional ethics, as it apparently includes Lewton’s ex-wife’s former attorney William Bianco, Bianco’s partner Chris Perrone, and their firm, suggesting that they took part in the ill-fated spying attempt....

In February, a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official admitted that the department has turned its attention to undocumented immigrants who commit crimes in the U.S. These people are first in line to be deported.

District Judge Lucy Koh, rather dissatisfied with both sides of the Yahoo Privacy Data Breach lawsuit, has denied approval of the class action settlement proposed back in November. According to Koh, Yahoo’s refusal to disclose the total payout number, coupled with the ridiculously high legal fees plaintiffs are seeking, rendered the settlement insufficient. She has told both sides to go back to the drawing board, and try again. The settlement created by both sides allowed for a $50 million payout plus two years of free credit monitoring for the roughly 200 million Yahoo account users hacked in two separate data breaches, one in 2013 and the other in 2014....

Caitlyn Jenner has settled a negligence lawsuit with the stepchildren of a woman who was killed in a car crash she was part of last year, Variety reports. Kim Howe’s family sued Jenner for negligence last May, saying her reckless driving caused the three-car crash in which another woman was also injured.
