In the early 90s Boston witnessed a period of 18 months where no one under 17 was murdered. This joint effort between police, clergy, youth, and many others gained national recognition as the Boston Miracle. One controversial part of this success was the lengthy incarceration sentences received by many young people.

Darrin Howell from Chuck Turner's office released a 20 Year study of Homicides in Boston. The study found that in over half of the murders in the last 10 years there were no arrests.

A man was shot around 9:30 p.m., Friday on Devon Street, from a silver car, the Globe reports.

Every since Michael "Fratboy" Graham got his first fake ID, he's has trouble remembering his birth date. (h/t Swrlygrrl)

It's usually not a problem but "Fratboy" recently got pinched by Framingham Police for a "minor" moving violation according to Graham and here's where the story starts to get murky. Graham claims,

"I was pulled over for a minor traffic infraction, and was astonished when the officer informed me that the RMV had revoked my drivers license. I don’t know when and I don’t know why"

Massachusetts is the only state in the region–and perhaps in the nation–that refuses to give a heads up to taxpayers that their licenses are about to expire. And, apparently, they don’t bother to inform us when they revoke our driving privileges–or why.

So is "Fratboy" claiming that not renewing your license (by the expiration date listed on your license that coincides with your birthday) is the same thing as a revocation by the RMV (which it isn't)

Here’s the Clark/Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter whomever update in a nutshell:

• His ex-wife Sandra Boss is suing Clark for $80000, her cost recovering her kidnapped daughter. She knows he owns gold coins worth that and has asked for them.
• Clark received a subpoena from the LA County Sheriff who wants to see his and Sandra's sealed divorce case file. They’re investigating Clark’s involvement, if any, in the possible slaying of John and Linda Sohus.
