The 10 suspects accused in anti-gay attacks on four men in the Bronx are due in court.

They have been charged with crimes including assault, sexual abuse and harassment, all as hate crimes. The men are scheduled to appear in Bronx state Supreme Court on Thursday.

Their families and attorneys say they are innocent. They have not entered pleas.

Authorities say the Oct. 3 attacks were touched off by the gang members' belief that one of their recruits was gay. Police say the 17-year-old recruit was beaten and sodomized. They say another 17-year-old also thought to be gay was attacked, and a 30-year-old and his brother were beaten.

City officials say it's the worst case of anti-gay violence in recent memory.

A man accused of killing nine people at a Buddhist temple near Phoenix as a juvenile will have the federal courts reconsider his overturned conviction.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the lower courts to re-examine the thrown-out murder conviction of Johnathan Doody.

Doody was convicted for the slayings of six priests, a nun and two helpers during a robbery at the Wat Promkunaram temple west of Phoenix.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the conviction, saying his Miranda warnings were inadequate. But the Supreme Court justices noted their February decision saying police only have to ensure that the Miranda warnings they read reasonably communicate to a suspect his rights.

A man who took five French tourists on a police chase of an illegal airport shuttle van in New York has pleaded guilty to felony assault in exchange for a 90-day jail term.

Ian McFarlane entered the plea Thursday in Queens. McFarlane could've faced seven years in prison had he been convicted at trial. His sentencing is Jan. 12.

Neither he nor his attorney spoke publicly afterward.

Police say McFarlane and driver Khaalis Preacher directed the tourists to their van while they sought transportation to Manhattan.

As the chase began in June 2009 outside Kennedy Airport, an officer trying to stop the van from pulling off was hurt. Police arrested the men after the van crashed into a stop sign.

The owner and former assistant director of a New York day care center where a 2-year-old girl choked to death on a carrot have pleaded guilty to criminal charges.

Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice says Carousel Day School owner Eugene Formica (for-MY'-kuh) pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment Monday. Formica will receive three years of probation.

Former assistant director Kathryn Cordaro pleaded guilty to running an unlicensed day care center for toddlers. She'll receive a conditional discharge, meaning the arrest will be purged if she stays out of trouble.

Prosecutors say Olivia Raspanti choked to death March 17, 2009, after getting the carrot from a teacher's bag.

They say the corporation that operates the Hicksville facility pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment and running an unlicensed day care for toddlers and preschoolers. The corporation will be fined $15,000.

A 22-year-old Lebanese immigrant accused of placing a backpack he thought contained a bomb near Chicago's Wrigley Field this month is set to appear in federal court.

Sami Samir Hassoun was charged last week with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and an explosive device. He is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

Prosecutors allege Hassoun took a fake bomb given to him by undercover FBI agents and planted it in a trash bin near the home of the Chicago Cubs.

Hassoun's attorney, Myron Auerbach, says his client isn't a terrorist.

Prosecutors say Hassoun has no apparent links to extremists and that he appeared motivated in part by thinking he could profit from bombings.

A Pittsburgh woman has agreed to plead guilty to allegations she defrauded advertisers and exhibitors out of thousands of dollars with a fake bridal show in Boston.

Federal prosecutors say Karen Tucker on Tuesday agreed to waive indictment on wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges in exchange for a lenient sentence of up to nearly five years in jail.

Tucker and an uncharged co-conspirator allegedly posed as representatives of a business known as The Boston 411, which promoted a nonexistent home and bridal show in March.

The two allegedly collected advance fees from exhibitors and used most of the money for personal expenses. Authorities say they conducted similar scams elsewhere.

Tucker's attorney says a court date has not been set.
