Eight Kim Kardashian robbers found guilty in Paris trial
Eight of ten people accused of participating in Kim Kardashian's robbery at gunpoint in Paris nearly a decade ago were found guilty on Friday, according to the Associated Press, a striking end to one of the most prominent heist cases targeting a celebrity.
But the guilty defendants — nicknamed the 'grandpa robbers' in French media because many of them are in their 60s and 70s — won't go to prison because their sentences were already served while they waited in pre-trial detention, the AP reported. Aomar Aït Khedache, considered the ringleader, was sentenced to eight years — five of which are suspended, and the other three already served. Seven others received lesser sentences, and two were acquitted.

Home invasion and robbery rocks quiet Queens neighborhood. Here's the latest on the investigation.
Police are searching for two suspects who forced their way into a Queens home, tied up a family and robbed them. The brazen home invasion happened on Monday morning on a stretch of 12th Avenue in Whitestone, across the street from an elementary school. The NYPD said two men barged into the home around 9 a.m., one of them wearing an Amazon vest, and led the victims, a 42-year-old man, a 39-year-old woman, and three children, down to the basement and bound them with duct tape and zip ties. They then stole money and jewelry before taking off in the family's car, which detectives said was found less than a half a mile from the house. Neighbors unnerved by home invasion A neighbor said he was on his way to work when he saw a man pleading for help. "I just see this man come running out of his house with duct tape on him," he said. "He was definitely disheveled. He was definitely, like, scared, and he probably didn't know what just happened, himself." A school being is close proximity to such a violent crime struck a nerve as well. "All the kids are here. That's, like, really scary for, like, even the children," a woman said. Police are now looking into who the two suspects are and why they chose the house. Anyone with any information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

‘Soonest available date': State moves to hold execution warrant application hearing for Menzies
WEST JORDAN, Utah () — The execution of a man on Utah's death row is now moving forward after it was delayed for an investigation into his competency. Ralph Leroy Menzies was convicted in 1988 for the 1986 aggravated murder, kidnapping, and robbery of Maurine Hunsaker. The State filed a motion Monday to lift the stay on Menzie's execution and hold a hearing for an application for an execution warrant on the 'soonest available date.' Victim's family reacts to convicted killer being ruled competent to be executed According to documents, on Feb. 13, 2024, the court ordered that all 'proceedings advancing toward execution are stayed pending the resolution of Meznie's petition into competency.' They cancelled a hearing set later that month for the State's application for an execution warrant. The 67-year-old man has dementia, his defense in May 2025. Last week, on June 6, Menzies was after 16 months of back-and-forth and competency hearings. 'The State, therefore, moves to lift the stay on the execution proceedings and to schedule a hearing on the State's application for an execution warrant on the soonest available date,' the motion reads. In a statement to ABC4 last week, Menzie's attorney with ABC4 after the ruling that he was competent for execution. Court rules that convicted killer with dementia is competent to be executed We respectfully disagree with the Court's order and plan to appeal to the Utah Supreme Court. Ralph Menzies is a severely brain-damaged, wheelchair-bound, 67-year-old man with dementia and significant memory problems. He cannot understand the State's reasons for his execution. His dementia is progressive and he is not going to get better. It is deeply troubling that Utah plans to remove Mr. Menzies from his wheelchair and oxygen tank to strap him into an execution chair and shoot him to death. Lindsey Layer, Attorney for Ralph Menzies Matthew Hunsaker, Maurine Hunsaker's son, last week. He shared the devastation he felt after his mother's murder, but also his fight to get justice. Matthew Hunsaker says that the nearly 40-year wait has been difficult. 'We were at peace either way, but now let's see this execution happen, let's get this over with, and let's let the family close this chapter and move on,' Matthew Hunsaker said.

Postal keys stolen from post office in Upper St. Clair, officials say
Since February, criminals have targeted postal workers three times in western Pennsylvania. The latest incident took place in Upper St. Clair last week, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service says, for the most part, the criminals are looking to steal postal keys to get into collection boxes. In his 30 years as a mailman, Ted Lee has felt great integrity in his job, so it hurts him to learn about recent attacks on his colleagues. "For something like this to happen, it's almost like a betrayal," Lee said. Now president of the western Pennsylvania chapter of the National Association of Letter Carriers, he said his members are filled with angst. "We're doing things to help the community," Lee said. "The last thing that anybody should be doing is targeting a letter carrier." Dave Gealey, U.S. postal inspector team lead for the Pittsburgh area, said last Friday in the late afternoon, a man somehow got into the back of the Upper St. Clair Post Office, showed a gun to an employee, and stole postal keys before running away. "He did not take any customers' mail or packages," Gealey said. Just two days earlier, a mail carrier was treated for a minor injury at the hospital after an attempted robbery in Bridgeville. In February, another was robbed at gunpoint in Homewood, with the suspect stealing packages. "We want to keep our carriers safe so they can go home to their families at the end of the day," Gealey said. Gealey said they're actively investigating these incidents with local law enforcement. Incidents like these started to increase after the COVID-19 pandemic and led the inspection and postal services to create Project Safe Delivery in May 2023. "To basically harden our assets and protect our letter carriers, and the mail from being stolen," Gealey said. Part of that has included the installation of new high-security collection boxes, with electronic keys and locks, making the keys that criminals are trying to steal useless. Now, across the country for the past two years, carrier robberies are down more than 30 percent, but those who do commit one can face up to 10 years in federal prison or up to 25 if they injure a worker. "We want it to be known that we're going to find you, we're going to track you down, and hold you accountable," Gealey said. "The public relies on us. Let the letter carriers do their rounds without disturbing," Lee said. If you have any information about the incident, call the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at 877-876-2455 or your local police department.
