PORTLAND, Ore. – The teenager in prison for raping a woman near Autzen Stadium after a University of Oregon football game has now been charged in the murder of Nicole Laube, who was stabbed to death at a Cedar Mill apartment complex in August. Jaime Tinoco, 17, was indicted by a grand jury for aggravated murder and unlawful use of a weapon in connection with Laube's death.

The police-officers union is suing to keep a cop killer from being able to afford a more comfortable life in prison instead of paying restitution to the families of the two officers he gunned down. The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association says more than $10,000 earned by former Black Liberation Army member Herman Bell during his time in a Comstock, NY, correctional facility should rightfully go to his victims’ relatives. The filing in Albany Supreme Court automatically freezes Bell’s commissary account. He’d be left with $1,000 if the plan succeeds. “We believe that we have a solemn obligation to the families of police officers who are killed in the line of duty to do all that we can to help them physically, morally and financially,” said PBA President Patrick Lynch, whose union has filed similar motions over the years. “The loss of these brave police officers continues to cause pain and difficulties for those left behind that never diminishes, even with the long passage of time,” he added. Bell and two accomplices were sentenced to 25-years-to-life for the 1971 ambush murders of police officers Joseph Piagentini and Waverly Jones in a Harlem housing project.
