Legal News: The Good, The Bad and The Stupid

The Good:

Cornelius Dupree Jr. is freed after DNA evidence exonerated him.  He spent 30 years behind bars, and is focusing on trying to keep a positive attitude now that he has been set free.

The Bad:

Councilman Reynaldo Dagsa took the last picture of his life... and captured the image of his soon-to-be murderer.  In this photo, his wife and children are gathered, and do not seem to be aware of the man holding a gun, mere inches from the children.  There are conflicting accounts as to whether the shooter has been arrested.

The Stupid:

New York (CNN) -- A man imprisoned for killing his mother-in-law in 2008 could soon inherit his victim's assets, valued at a minimum of $250,000, authorities said.

The killer's wife legally inherited the fortune, and after her death he is next to inherit the money.  Once he gets out of prison, that is.  Still, 25 years time and coming out to a quarter million dollars is worth mention.  It sounds like a John Grisham novel come true.
