Facebook Shirt

Facebook has become one of the world’s most wide and popular social networking site. It is highly accessed in the UK as well; it is seen as a way to keep in touch with friends and colleagues, but also one to meet new people from all over the world.

Recent events prove that, apart from the above, Facebook has also become a reason for crime; the victim is Emma Forrester, 34. She and her husband Wayne broke up a few days ago, and he moved out of the house they were living in with their two children.

After a few days, she changed her Facebook status from ‘Married’ to ‘Single’, which made the husband drive to their home in Croydon, South London, and violently murder the mother of his children.

He arrived at the house very early in the morning, grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her to death while she was sleeping. He had been drinking and he had also been consuming drugs, but that was not a circumstantial evidence.

He pleaded guilty to the murder charges and the jury sentenced him to life in prison, with the possibility of getting out after a minimum of 14 years, for good behaviour.

OJ Simpson

13 years ago, in a murder trial that shocked America he managed to get away with the murder of his ex-wife and of one of her friends. He was found not-guilty and had to pay $33.5m to the victim’s family.

But this time he did not get off that easily. Former Buffalo Bills star, OJ Simpson, has been found guilty on all 12 charges of armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy to kidnap will have to remain imprisoned until his sentence is issued in December.

Simpson, aged 61, kidnapped two sports dealers in Las Vegas, last year, and held them captive and tried to regain possession of some objects he still claimed as his property.

The Las Vegas jury found him and his accomplice, Clarence Steward, guilty as charged and the judge decided not to grant him bail until December.

On his way to the courthouse he seemed to be coping quite well with the whole situation and with the possibility of him spending many years behind bars.
