A former copy was acquitted of assault after knocking a protester form his bike, according to a New York Criminal Lawyer, but he was convicted of lying about what did actually happen.

The verdict seems to rely upon a YouTube video of the incident that occurred in Times Square in 2008. The tape shows the rookie officer slamming into a biker, who had apparently been trying to avoid the cop.

The 24-year-old ex-cop claimed he arrested the biker, after the cyclist purposely ran into him, sources told a New York Criminal Lawyer. The ex-officer also claimed on the witness stand that his superiors ordered him to do something about the bikers during a protest.

Ultimate Fighting Championship star Tito Ortiz, 35, was charged with felony domestic violence against the mother of his twin boys, former porn star Jenna Jameson. The 36-year-old leading lady of XXX-rated movies told a New York Criminal Lawyer, “Tito is a loving, sweet man. I’ve always supported him. For him to lash out at me is shocking.”

When asked if she was going to press charges, she responded, “Oh, yeah!” “You have to press charges,” Jameson explained. “This isn’t just something you can get over.” Jameson’s father, an ex-Las Vegas cop, told a New York Criminal Lawyer that his daughter obtained a restraining order immediately against Ortiz.

Ortiz himself denied being abusive, even as cops placed him in the back of a squad car. A brusque “No” was his only response when he was asked about the accusation by a cameraman during his arrest. Jameson’s father was at the house, owned by Ortiz, when the abuse occurred. He was the one who called 911, reporting a “disturbance” at 9:53 a.m.

A man convicted of molesting a young karate student will not return to jail, even though a Bronx judge ruled the offender would be unable to stop abusing young boys, said a New York Criminal Lawyer. The convicted sex offender abused a 10-year-old child while working as a martial arts instructor. When he was released from jail, the Attorney General’s office attempted to put him into civil confinement.

A Bronx jury ruled the man, 48, did not show any signs of mental illness. He was set free and currently resides in an upstate halfway group home. “(The convicted sex offender) has a mental disorder, pedophilia, and that he has serious difficulty controlling his unlawful conduct,” an Acting Supreme Court Judge informed a New York Criminal Lawyer.

The judge is unable to put aside the jury’s verdict, nor he can order a new trial, due to loopholes in a 2007 state mental hygiene law. New York Criminal Lawyers have confirmed that the prosecutors intend to appeal the case.

Police have revealed the victim had prior arrests for assault and criminal possession of a weapon. The search for the killer or killers is ongoing and there are no real known leads, as of yet.

A straphanger was instrumental in catching a thief who was trying to get away with his cash and jewelry, authorities said to a New York Criminal Lawyer. The suspect was unable to flee the scene until the police arrived, thanks to the actions of his would-be victim.

Sources tell New York Criminal Lawyers that the victim was asleep aboard a southbound Number 1 train close to South Ferry at 4:15 a.m., early on a Sunday morning, when the suspect approached and cut open the victim’s left front pocket.

The suspect managed to steal a watch and some cash as the train pulled into the station, authorities told a New York Criminal Lawyer, but the activities of the thief woke the victim, who then grabbed the thief and held him for the cops.

A teenager armed with a gun showed some remorse when he turned himself in to police for shooting two boys in Brownsville, police informed a New York Criminal Lawyer. It is currently unknown why he was brandishing the gun or why shots were fired at all. Further details have yet to be revealed.

The 18-year-old gunman allegedly informed a New York Criminal Lawyer that he was not aiming at his victims when he shot two young boys, aged 12 and 10 years of age, on Legion Street near Sutter Avenue one Monday at 8:15 p.m.

Despite his protests that the shooting was accidental, the 18-year-old suspect was charged with attempted murder, assault, and weapons possession, sources told a New York Criminal Lawyer.

The state’s highest court has refused to hear the appeal of a man convicted of second-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a Selden teenager. The incident occurred outside the convicted man’s home at Miller Place.

The 56-year-old man seems to have no other recourse for appeals and will soon be back in court for sentencing, a spokeswoman for the Suffolk County district attorney’s office told a New York Criminal Lawyer. At that point, the judge could send the man to prison for 2 to 4 years for the death of a seventeen-year-old boy in 2006.

The now convicted man has been free on $200,000 bail during the appeals process. According to a New York Criminal Lawyer, an associate judge of the state Court of Appeals denied the defendant’s request to have his case reviewed by the court. The judge wrote, “There is no question of law presented which ought to be reviewed by the Court of Appeals.” The defendant’s attorney told a New York Criminal Lawyer he was “evaluating our additional options.”

A Manhattan party girl who first showed a love for red when patronizing a Financial District hair salon soon proved that color had a deeper significance than her hair color. New York Criminal Lawyers have determined she lead a double life.

“I want red!” was Anna Chapman’s demand to her hair stylist, according to a New York Criminal Lawyer. Hairdressers at the salon say that when Chapman first came to the salon, she was a brunette.

“The first time she came in, it was just for a blow-dry. She came in with brown hair and I said ‘I’ll fix your color,’” the stylist related to a New York Criminal Lawyer. “And she said ‘Yes, I want red!’”
