FRESNO The estranged wife of a former Fresno administrative-law judge has been sentenced to life in prison for attacking another woman with an aluminum baseball bat. Forty-six-year-old Robyn Sotelo of Sacramento was sentenced Wednesday for the 2006 attack on Marian Wells.

First, apologies for classifying this as breaking news; it's not news in the conventional sense, but I hope you'll agree it is worthy of the extra attention that the breaking-news classification affords. I belong to an organization called HTCIA (High Technology Crime Investigation Association), which is, as the name implies, an organization that deals with high tech crime and related issues. Our membership comprises both law enforcement personnel and a variety of private sector practitioners. At the HTCIA International level, an effort has been launched to acquire and deliver computer equipment and other goods that can be of service in...
