Gary gets reduced sentence for bribery for cooperating with Gwinnett corruption probeMark Gary, a developer in Gwinnett County convicted for bribery, got a reprieve for his cooperation in an ongoing federal probe of alleged corruption in Gwinnett. Instead of getting to spend more than four years in federal prison, Gary was meted with just two years plus three years under probation. Gary was convicted for bribing Shirley Lasseter, the former commissioner of Gwinnett County, to vote for his proposal of a station for waste transfer costing $4 million. Doug Gilfillan, the assistant United States attorney, said he agreed to reducing the sentence as Gary's cooperation, which included secretly recording his conversations with elected officials, could lead to the indictment of another person involved in the alleged corruption. However, Atlanta defense attorney Paul Kish representing Gary, said that he and his client are disappointed with the sentence.
According to Kish, Gary deserved more because his cooperation was extensive. But the judge did not buy Gary's claim that he was a victim of what he alleges as a corrupt system in Gwinnett.

The defense lawyers' request did not include a date for the trial to begin. Jill Polster, Atlanta criminal defense attorney, said the delay will be for the best interest of the residents of DeKalb County. She added that no one wants to have a trial twice which is what happens when the first trial ends in a conviction and an appeal is filed because it was rushed.

Sharper has submitted a not guilty plea to sexually assaulting two women in Los Angeles.

Jury convicts man of killing ex-girlfriendWade Bradford's defense did not convince the jury as they found him guilty in the shooting death of Natalie Allan. Bradford and Allan had met when Allan worked in one of Bradford's massage parlors. While they were dating, Allan was also dating Kevin Myles, her massage client. During the trial, the prosecutors told the court that Bradford had shot Allan when she broke up with him and she and Myles had gone to Bradford's place to get her things. This was countered by Phoenix defense lawyer Jamie Jackson saying that Bradford did not know that he had shot Allan. According to Jackson, the gun accidentally went off because Myles had suddenly lunged at Bradford. The jury, however, did not buy this. Aside from Allan's death, Bradford is also facing charges for the death of another of his former girlfriend, Eleanor Su. Irish nanny facing murder in death of 1-year-old girl denied bailAisling Brady McCarthy, a nanny from Ireland, will have to await her murder trial in jail after she was denied bail. McCarthy is accused of the death of Remah Sabir, a one-year-old girl who had suffered a head trauma while under her care. She was brought in to the hospital and died two days later. However, McCarthy may get a reprieve after the judge got frustrated with the prosecutors' delay in handing over medical proof which could prove critical for her defense. David Meier, a criminal attorney in Boston defending for McCarthy, said that the evidence they were asking for is necessary to the case. McCarthy's defense said they are not ready to go to trial in April because of the delay.

Marc Agnifilo, New York criminal attorney defending for Aquilone, said his client has expressed regret for the loss that he has caused the Puthuvamkunnaths.
