...Bradford walk free? Facebook. On the day of the crime, which took place around 11:50 a.m., his status on Facebook was updated at 11:49 a.m.: "on the phone with this fat chick...wherer my i hop." He had been talking with his girlfriend and referenced a recent visit to the restaurant chain IHOP. A Brooklyn district attorney subpoenaed Facebook and, with the pulled records, Reuland was able to convince her that Bradford's Facebook update had been posted within a minute of "the time the crime was alleged to have happened, from an IP address registered to [Bradford...
...During the proceedings, Le Cong Dinh, a well-known U.S.-educated attorney, admitted that he had joined the banned Democratic Party of Vietnam and had called for multiparty democracy - a crime in Vietnam's single-party state.

After authorities promised to pursue Patterson's case further in 1998, a prosecutor mistakenly failed to renew a travel ban on him. Patterson returned to California in 1999, where he remains today. (Lee, after being acquitted, also returned to the U.S.) In 2006, a Seoul court ordered the government to award $34,000 to the victim's family. The case remained officially closed until...
...government's move follows a flurry of renewed interest in the crime in popular culture. In September, a blockbuster film that dramatized the murder, The Case of the Itaewon Homicide, swept South Korea. That same month, a South Korean television crew discovered Patterson was living in Sunnyvale after the U.S. government failed to locate him following a 2005 request for judicial assistance from Seoul. "After we concluded that [the television crew's] finding was true, we decided to reopen the case," says Oh Se In, a Seoul city prosecutor acting as a spokesman for the case. Lee, the other defendant...
