I read about the mail theft in Manhattan Beach. You said two trays were taken and a small tub. My question was: Do you know if the mail that was stolen was only being delivered to Manhattan Beach residents, or to other neighboring cities? Did that mail carrier specifically work for Manhattan Beach residents, or did he deliver mail to other cities later in the day? Could you please find out from the authorities what cities the stolen mail was going to? Was it ALL Manhattan Beach or other cities too? I know it was recovered, and they will be contacting the residents saying it will be delayed, but I am expecting some important mail this week, and was wondering exactly what cities were affected---- (Torrance, Rolling Hills, Palos Verdes, Lawndale, Hawthorne etc.)

Randolph Cornfield, principal of 40-student Del Rey Continuation High School, is charged with two felony counts for the for the images allegedly found on his home computer.

"Posing as a 12-year-old girl, Cornfield allegedly engaged in sexually explicit conversation in an Internet chat room and offered to provide nude photos," according to release issued yesterday by the District Attorney's Office.

Cornfield, 60, has worked for the Los Angeles Unified School District since 1982.
If convicted, he faces up to three years and eight months in prison, according to prosecutors.

The young woman cried when registered nurse Jackie Block testified about watching the collision, then getting out to check on the girls. "Thank you for stopping to help," she whispered to Block as she left the courtroom after testifying.

As Detective Charles Martin, trying to keep his own emotions in check, spoke of how Kelsey will probably never speak or walk again, the woman sobbed in the back of the courtroom.

SB 1343 by Senator Jim Battin (R-La Quinta), gives seniors and disabled adults the right to have up to two support persons with them when delivering difficult testimony in cases of elder abuse. 

"By allowing a friend or family member in the courtroom while giving difficult testimony, elderly and disabled adults will feel more comfortable coming forward and pressing charges to allow justice to be served," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "This legislation not only protects this vulnerable community, but  helps to prevent these types of crimes from happening again."

SB 612 by Senator Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto), gives victims of identity theft a better opportunity to obtain justice by allowing identity theft cases to be prosecuted in the county where the victim lives - which is not always the location of where the crime occurs.
