Khiel Coppin
An 18 year old boy was killed by New York officers this weekend after he approached them with what they thought was a gun. The object the boy had in his hand was actually a hairbrush, but the teen had a history of mental illness. Police were called to the scene after the boy and his mother got into an argument. In the 911 call made by his mother, you can hear the boy shouting that he had a gun.

Drew Peterson
An Illinois police officer was officially named a suspect for a potential homicide investigation in the disappearance of his young wife. Drew Peterson's former wife's body will also be exhumed so the cause of her untimely death can be investigated further. Kathleen Savio's body was found in 2004 in her bathtub. The coroner ruled her death an accident at the time, theorizing that she hit her head and then drown. When her body was found there was no water in the bathtub, but investigators thought by the time her body was found the water had drained out. Peterson did not comment on the ongoing investigation.
Michael Peterson
The conviction and life sentence of novelist Michael Peterson were upheld yesterday by the North Carolina Supreme Court. Peterson was convicted in 2003 of killing his wife after she was found dead at the bottom of the staircase in their shared home in 2001. He had argued that evidence obtained from his computer during the course of the investigation was improper and should not have been used to aid in his conviction. The court disagreed and determined that other evidence used to convict was sufficient apart from the tainted computer records.
