A neighborhood watch volunteer suspected of raping as many as nine women in Dallas this summer has been arrested in Baton Rouge today. Van Draylan Dixson has been linked to four of the attacks via DNA tests, and police are awaiting the results of DNA tests from two others. Authorities also acknowledge that Dixson was accused of a similar crime in the 1990s, but that case had to be dropped when his accuser was struck by lightning.
SANFORD, Florida (Reuters) - Lawyers for George Zimmerman asked a judge on Friday to consider acquitting the former neighborhood watch volunteer of second-degree murder charges in the killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, arguing the state failed to meet its burden of proof.
