Boys guilty of schoolyard gun massacre
Article Abstract:
State authorities in Arkansas will have to decide how long 14-year-old Mitchell Johnson and 12-year-old Andrew Golden will remain in custody for killing four girls and a teacher and wounding 10 others at Westside Middle School in Jonesboro, AR. The Arkansas juvenile court judge who heard the case stated that he did not have the authority to determine specific sentences for the two boys as they could only be tried as juveniles. The state currently does not have a facility suitable for holding the boys beyond the age of 18.

Gucci: hell for leather
Article Abstract:
Patrizia Gucci has been sentenced to 29 years in jail for the contract killing of her former husband, fashion designer Maurizio Gucci. She claims that she is innocent, and that she still feels great love for her former husband, not hatred. She seems to have surrounded herself with rather incompetent people, and also appeared sufficiently self-confident to believe that she could let these people take all the blame. Gucci's murder is the culmination of a long history of bitter feuds within the family.

The dark side of a woman who went in search of Sunset Boulevard and found a California jail
Article Abstract:
Manjit Basuta has been sentenced to 25 years in jail by a judge in San Diego, CA, following the death in Mar 1999 of a boy who was attending the day care centre she ran from her home there. Her supporters claim that the boy's death resulted from a fall which aggravated a brain injury he sustained as a baby. However, she never apologized or expressed remorse, and she received very little sympathy from the general public.
