Sensational and heinous crimes across the nation, notable for the type of crime, the celebrity of the criminal, or both.
Sidney Simpson Developing Criminal Record?
One has to feel sorry for Sidney Simpson. For surely the child has some suspicion that her father, O.J. Simpson, murdered her mother. I can't imagine living a life with a man I think killed my mother.
Sidney, now 20, got into a bit of trouble recently for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. The problem stemmed from an incident involving bad comments she thought were made about her mother.
It's not clear if such comments were made or, as I would suspect, the comments were really about her father. Sure, she'd defend her father no matter what she suspects. He's her father and the only living parent she has left.
O.J. Simpson's daughter is expected back in court today.
Sydney Simpson, 20, was granted a continuance last month on charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct stemming from an incident at Everglades School last year.
She was arrested in January 2005 after refusing to stop yelling at officers outside the school.
Witnesses said that Simpson got into a scuffle after she thought someone had made negative comments about her mother.
Going the Speed Limit a Dangerous Thing
Here's a True Crime snippet about how dangerous it is to not commit a crime when everyone around you is.
With the coming growth of such as I-pods soon enough we will see more offbeat films like the ones these ingenious Georgia State students dreamt up. As soon as I came across this story I was intrigued.
Now I don't know where I-285 is but I'm familiar with I-95 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. Roads where one puts one's life in danger trying such silly shenanigans as going the speed limit. Even with the speed limit on the interstates now 65 mph, few drivers would dare stick to the number, much less go one mile an hour less.
What these kids did, they got four cars and each car claimed a lane on I-285. The four cars then all drove that interstate, in tandem, at the posted speed limit. They filmed the many driver reactions to this stalemate.
It's considered good form to move to the right if you're driving "slower" to allow other drivers to pass. For these four cars to drive, side-by-side, blocking all traffic behind, is probably not against the law, per se. It would be considered bad driver etiquette but few go to jail for that.
I can envision a collective montage of driver rage under this circumstance. Drivers on the interstates too often veer dangerously around other drivers they consider as going too slow. I've often had drivers veer around me, giving me a fine middle finger to boot, even when I was in the extreme right hand lane. We need to admit it, there are no lanes for drivers who want to go the speed limit.

At the very least he 'harmed' Natalee by obstructing the investigation and search for clues.
He admits to being the last person seen with Natalee. The police show up the next day at his house and inform him that she is missing (perhaps kidnapped of murdered).
Instead of showing the police the last place he was with Natalee - allowing the police to investigate and look for leads - he fabricates a story about dropping her off at the hotel... then fabricates a story about two black security guards... then fabricates a story that the K-Bros dropped him off at his house alone and the K-Bros drove off with Natalee... then a story about leaving her on the beach.
If he's 'innocent' then he sure did a good job of obstructing and confounding the investigation and giving the police so many false stories as to make any investigation or seach for clues imposible.
