Once a month we’re going to be sharing with you our favorite crime stories that offer up some lessons to learn as well as more robust legal news. If you have a favorite celebrity DUI or other legal news, please share it in the comments
1. If you followed Serial, the podcast the evaluated the Adnan Syed case from 1999, you’ll be pleased to know there’s a follow up that was released this week. Undisclosed: State versus Adnan Syed.
2. Remember that story last year of the stolen school bus? Well, the woman involved will be serving jail time.
3. If you’re going to shoplift, you probably don’t want to leave evidence behind. A couple of Anne Arundel County teenagers left behind a cell phone in Ocean City and got caught.
4. Just because you have access to bail, doesn’t mean a judge will grant it to you. This guy was considered by a judge to be a safety hazard to the community. He was already on probation for one driving while impaired charge when he was arrested.
5. Some charges just never go away. Even after you’ve served your time. Former Delegate Don Dwyer is now ordered to pay nearly $100,000 in damages related to his 2012 boating while intoxicated incident.
