...seven-year-old Queens boy named Julian B. had allegedly pushed two-year-old Reggie Clegg from the roof of an apartment building. Under questioning, Julian admitted that he had shoved Reggie from the roof after an argument over a toy car. But the court found that the police hadn't made a necessary "extra effort" to explain to a seven-year-old what his rights were.

His parents were not exactly heavenly in-laws, blaming...
...bloodiest in Northern Ireland's recent history, announced a "suspension" of their campaign of violence Wednesday. The reason? Widespread public anger and an appeal from Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, according to the Real IRA's statement published in the Belfast Irish News. The real reason? If they hadn't said something, Ahern was threatening to crack down on the group's Dublin HQ. Besides, there's a more important public relations battle to wage...
