New Jersey - The four thugs accused of savagely killing a young Hoboken lawyer in a New Jersey mall’s parking garage have extensive criminal histories — and one had been released from jail just four days before the slaying.

Dustin Friedland, 30, and his wife had just finished their holiday shopping when they returned to their silver 2012 Range Rover and were confronted by the four carjackers, cops said.

Karif Ford, 31, Basim Henry, 32, and Kevin Roberts, 33, all of Newark, and Hanif Thompson (picture), 29, of Irvington, were all busted. Each is being held on $2 million bail.

The four face a slew of charges in the Dec. 15 killing, including murder, carjacking, conspiracy and weapons possession, authorities said Saturday. Authorities refused to name the triggerman who shot Friedland point-blank in the head.  More

Prison authorities say Francis Karuri, who is on death row in Kenya, chopped it off because he missed out on receiving a Presidental pardon that would have brought him his freedom.

Karuri was sent to Kenyatta Nation Hospital 13 hours after the incident where doctors were unable to reattach the organ.

He had been following proceedings of the Uhuru ceremony where 50 prisoners were sent free by the country's president.

President Uhuru Kenyatta did not include Karuri on his list and the prisoner took the news very badly.

After castrating himself, Karuri continued to mop the floor of his cell before passing out due to a loss of blood, say sources.  More

South Carolina – An unwise motorist was arrested early today after a traffic stop revealed that his Mercedes-Benz contained frankincense, myrrh, and marijuana, according to South Carolina police.

Around 12:30 AM, Alain Cassagnol, 19, was spotted by a Myrtle Beach cop driving 103 mph in a 45 mph zone. Cassagnol was arrested for speeding after officers directed him to exit his car, a white 2014 sedan.

When Cassagnol stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz, cops detected a “strong odor of marijuana emitting from his person.”

Asked if he was in possession of any narcotics, Cassagnol stated yes and stated the drugs were in his pants by his groin. An officer then retrieved a clear baggie containing 5.4 grams of pot.

Investigators also seized a bottle of frankincense and myrrh incense spray from inside the vehicle. Known as “Blunt Block,” the product is usually used to mask the odor of burnt marijuana. More

New York - A sticky-fingered socialite is spending Christmas on Rikers Island instead of in her Southampton mansion — as punishment for swiping a pricey sweater from a Madison Avenue boutique.

Stefanie Lackner, the wife of Fisher Island Club CEO Bernard Lackner, landed 30 days in jail last week for lifting the $5,135 Brunello Cucinelli garment.

Lackner, 46, entered the high-end fashion shop a few blocks from the Douglas Elliman office where she is a Realtor in August 2012 and made the grab, according to Manhattan Criminal Court documents.

The pretty blonde first popped into a fitting room to try on the sweater, the criminal complaint said. She then requested it in another size while keeping the original sweater with her in the stall, papers state.  More

AUGUSTA, Georgia – An Augusta hospital has adopted a new policy banning Christmas carolers from singing religious songs in public patient areas.

The Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center announced the new policy Monday according to the Athens-Banner Herald.

“Military service veterans, male and female, represent people of all faiths,” hospital spokesman Brian Rothwell said in a statement according to Athens-Banner Herald.

The hospital spokesman could not provide an accurate date of when the ban began, but students were welcomed with open arms in 2011 and 2012. More

HOUSTON – A white Houston-area man was arrested Thursday on federal hate crimes charges for allegedly shooting video of himself sucker-punching a 79-year-old black man in a “knockout game”-style attack.

Conrad Alvin Barrett, 27, made a brief appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Frances Stacy, who scheduled a detention hearing for the Katy man on Friday.

According to prosecutors, the attack happened Nov. 24 in Katy, but it wasn’t until 12 days later that authorities connected the attack to the cellphone video of it.

Authorities learned of the case because Barrett allegedly showed the video on the night of the attack to an off-duty arson investigator he had just met at a restaurant in nearby Fulshear. More
