A 64-year-old criminal defense attorney in Washington, D.C., has been accused, along with two private investigators, of fabricating evidence in an effort to help a client win an acquittal in a drug case. However, a "shocked" Charles Daum denies wrongdoing, according to his lawyer, David Schertler, who expressed concern about the chilling effect of the case on attorneys seeking to zealously defend their clients. Daum was charged in a federal grand jury indictment (PDF), with conspiracy, influencing a juror and inducing perjury, according to the Blog of Legal Times.

It took a tip to authorities to focus attention on two 19-year-old tellers after a March 23 bank robbery in Houston committed by armed, masked suspects. But with the help of incriminating Facebook posts by Estefany Martinez and her boyfriend, four defendants including the pair, another teller at the International Bank of Commerce and a relative, have been arrested, reports the Houston Chronicle. "I've always heard that you shouldn't post pictures of yourself on Facebook smoking pot or drinking because employers are now looking at Facebook pages," attorney Richard Kuniansky, who represents Martinez, tells the newspaper.

Corrected: The Florida Supreme Court ordered a three-year suspension for Miami lawyer Henry “Hank” Adorno, the one-time name partner at Adorno & Yoss before it disbanded. The troubled Florida law firm announced its dissolution in March after Adorno resigned from the firm following disclosure of his ethics troubles. His departure came after he was suspended from law practice last year and ordered to show cause why he should not be suspended for up to three years or disbarred for his role in negotiating a $7 million settlement that was later vacated. The court rejected a referee’s recommendation that Adorno… | Unusual Tattoo Gets Gang Member Convicted of First-Degree Murder in Cold Case
It's standard practice in Los Angeles for authorities to take photographs of the bare chests of suspected gang members when they are arrested for relatively minor offenses. Records of their tattoos may be useful identification tools in subsequent crimes. And, for those who spray graffiti around the city, it's not unusual for a tagger to mark his own body with one of the same images he paints on buildings.
