A journalist known for his coverage of the Occupy movement is now suing the New York police for beating him and warning him to stop reporting. Christopher Faraone, a news and features editor at the Boston-based Dig, is suing the New York Police Department. “Despite holding my pad and camera in clear view at the time — and loudly announcing myself as a reporter — I was tackled, zip-tied, and hauled off to jail,” he wrote in September.

"Baby Hope" Case: Experts say time, rewards and publicity help solve cold cases such as NYC girl's murder - Crimesider New York City police have identified the mother of "Baby Hope" -- whose body was found 22 years ago in a cooler on the side of a highway -- a source tells CBS New York City station WCBS. Norah O'Donnell reports. (CBS) - It might seem like a near-miracle that 22 years after the decomposing body of a child was found inside a cooler in Manhattan police have now identified the mother of the girl known as "Baby Hope." But experts tell CBS News' Crimesider that the combination of time, renewed publicity, investigative determination, technology and a reward is precisely how many cold cases heat up. According to DNA Info, a New York local news site, over the summer police began hanging posters in the Washington Heights neighborhood where the girl's body was found in 1991, announcing a $12,000 reward for information on "Baby Hope." Those posters, apparently, bore fruit. That fear, experts say, often keeps witnesses from coming forward when a crime occurs - but can dissipate over time.
LA Man Cleared of Murder After 34 Years in Prison <br/><a href=" US News</a> | <a href=" Business News</a> Copy A Los Angeles man who spent the last 34 years in jail for murder has finally walked free after the sisters of the case's sole witness said their sibling lied in court. Kash Delano Register, 53, emerged from Twin Towers downtown jail on Friday afternoon, smiling and clasping his mother's hand. He said he couldn't be bitter, even after spending decades behind bars for a crime he didn't commit. "I'm just in a numb feeling right now," Register told reporters outside the jail. Register has always maintained he did not kill Jack Sasson, 78, in the carport of Sasson's West Los Angeles home in April 1979. Register was finally exculpated on Thursday after Superior Court Judge Katherine Mader ruled that prosecutors tried to hide evidence that could have proven Register's innocence and used false witness testimony.

Pool,AP Photo/John Minchillo NEW YORK The announcement of an arrest in one of New York City's most notorious cold cases was especially relieving for two hardened investigators, who for 22 years had been working to identify the girl they nicknamed Baby Hope after discovering her body stuffed in a picnic cooler along a highway.
