C r i m e   &   C o u r t s

I have covered crime and courts for newspapers, Court TV and several magazines, including the ABA Journal and Washingtonian. I have interviewed drug addicts, detectives, inmates and informants to examine the root causes and effects of crime. In Daytona Beach, I was roped inside the police tape during a deadly hostage situation. My court coverage includes high-profile trials, appeals and decisions. I broke a story about junkets taken by federal judges, and I provided commentary for C-SPAN on the appeal of an alleged al-Qaida sleeper cell agent.
