In local news, the Greenville Police Department is under scrutiny after failing to notify the public for four days that a gang of 10 to 12 teens robbed another teen at gunpoint who was riding his bike through Falls Park. While declining media interviews, the police issued a statement via email, which reads, “As for releasing that information, we don't make it a habit to release everything that comes through our office. We release it when we get a request from the media or when we need help in solving a crime. The investigation was too early to ask for help because we had not got any good suspect descriptions."

Another judge has ruled that Bradley Manning's prosecution for aiding the enemy, and violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, can move forward.

A Wisconsin man has been convicted of shooting and killing his 13-year-old neighbor. Now he hopes to be found not responsible because he was insane at the time. A video by the 76-year-old man's own surveillance equipment showed the man shooting the teen. The shooter accused the boy of stealing his guns, and the police searched the dead boy's home. None of the killer's guns was in the child's home. The teen's mother was detained by the police for over an hour even after the killer admitted to the shooting.
Finally, two companies, which planned to use fracking to extract methane gas in New York, have decided to abandon their plans.
