"Surveillance video released of suspected mall gunman"

Police have released the surveillance video and some still pictures of one of the suspected gunman involved in the Dadeland Mall murder last week. Looking at the video, a man in his late 20's to early 30's, almost 300 lbs, was dressed in all black talking on his cell, walking around the Express store. Authorities now want to question the man. Just a little after the man was captured on the video, two men confronted an armored truck guard entering the store, killed the man, and took off with his money bag. The victim was 51 year old Carlos Alvarado who died at the hospital.

"Teen found guilty of manslaughter"

The decision was made Tuesday for an 18 year old boy who learned his fate after shooting another teen two years back. The jury has found Joshua Ladson guilty of manslaughter. As Ladson stood there emotionless, the victim's family had the opposite reaction. The original charge was suppose to be for murder, from the tragic death of Giovanny Mayoral. Authorities say in August 2006, Ladson who was only 16 at the time, shot Giovanny of only 14 years old, who was riding a dirt bike, because he passed Ladson at a high rate of speed. The defense has said that the gun fire was an accident and their argument in court was strong enough to lessen the charge.
The defense attorney said, "It's a tragic tragic situation what happened to the young man out there on the motorcycle. And the tragedy continues with our client being found guilty of manslaughter."

Ladson could face up to 30 years behind bars.
According to authorities, Ladson could face up to 30 years in prison.

"Teens Charged in Nursing Resident Abuse"

Two teenage girls who worked at a nursing home have been charged with abuse. They have been accused of spitting on, taunting, and groping residents who suffer from Alzeheimer's disease.
19 year old Brianna Broitzman and 18 year old Ashton Larson laughed earlier this year when they spat in a mouth of one of the residents, poked and groped her genitals and breasts, and mocked them.
Both Broitzman and Larson have been charged as adults.


Broitzman and Larson, who worked as part-time aides at the home, have been charged as adults.
Larson's father disputed the charges against his daughter in a statement. "Not all of the charges are as they appear. Much of this has been distorted by the news media," Michael Larson said in the statement.
"My daughter was doing nothing more than performing the duties of her job."
No one would answer the phone Thursday morning at Broitzman's home. There was no information that were in court records on attorneys for either teen.

"Reindeer Salami"

Just in time for the holidays, IKEA in Britain is offering something new, reindeer salami. It's a good time of year to get attention for the plight of the poor reindeer, which is not treated with reverence by the herders today, according to animal rights activists. In England, a group is taking the season to call attention to how these animals are treated by protesting IKEA's sales of reindeer salami. Most reindeer are herded in Sweden by helicopter and snowmobile which scares them and stresses them, and that most are slaughtered as calves. These animals are being raised in harsh conditions to be group up and served as a sausage. The group wants IKEA to ban the products. It has said that the campaign may be heading toward the US next.

"Booby Traps"

I know, this probably won't affect you at all, but I think it's just interesting how stupid people can be.
"Police in Uganda are warning men about the dangers of breasts." Gangs of women are tricking men into smelling their "chloroform laced" boobs, knocking them out. When the men wake up, they are usually stripped of their clothing, and missing all their personal belongings that they had the night they thought they would get lucky. The police have managed to capture one of the women. If for some reason you go to Uganda, watch out for your boobies!
