A small room in the MSU police building is made smaller and smaller as detectives move in and out like ants piling up stolen items on a table and chairs. The items, ranging from laptops to projectors, are evidence from an investigation involving multiple breaking and entering robberies in which East Lansing resident Yaaseen Jabraan Albert allegedly committed on campus since 2003. "Most of it came from pawn shops all over the state: Flint, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Detroit," MSU police Detective Steve Beard said. Beard headed up the investigation, and was familiar with Albert because he arrested him in 2000, the first time the 26-year-old was arrested for a breaking and entering felony in Ingham County. Because of the previous charge, prosecutors are asking Albert be tried as a habitual offender - which would allow the state to increase his punishment to life in prison, Ingham County Chief Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III said. His district court preliminary examination was waived by assistant prosecutor Angela Lloyd on June 23, and the case was immediately sent to the Ingham County Circuit Court level.

As an 8-year-old in 1990, I was still dumb enough to swallow my chewing gum, but I was certainly smart enough to know which music was hip and which music was so 1989. Hence, it will likely come as a surprise to many when they see several blatantly recognizable omissions on the recent CD compilation "Vh1: I Love the 90s," which is meant to be a precursor to the series of the same name debuting on the music cable channel on July 12.

The situation surrounding Saddam Hussein's trial in Iraq is tenuous and the United States has to be extremely delicate in balancing the insurance that the citizens of Iraq are happy with the results of the trial, and enforcement of the democratic value of a fair trial over popular justice. The body of evidence against Hussein is so overwhelming and well-documented that the trial against the remnants of the Ba'ath Party might seem to be over before it starts. Regardless of the clamoring of the people, Iraq's newly formed judicial system must play by the rules - or risk losing sight of overall justice forever. The trial could have been held in the World Court, similar to former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic's trial.
