Typing Error May Void Drug Conviction

A Middletown man might escape conviction, even after police found more than 7 pounds of marijuana at his house.

DOJ's Demography Despots Bully Their Way Into East Haven

Federal Department of Justice officials recently flew into New Haven and, before a gaggle of reporters summoned to a press conference, released the DOJ Civil Rights Division's at-last-final investigative report into alleged "racial profiling" and abuses of "Latinos" by the East Haven Police Department.
