NEW YORK - At first, prosecutors said their sexual assault case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn was growing more formidable by the day. Six weeks later, they said his accuser's history of lying raised major red flags, but they weren't dropping the case, at least for now. With the former International Monetary Fund leader freed from house arrest because the case has weakened, prosecutors aren't saying what their next move may be.
HOPEWELL - The relationship between the two leading law enforcement officials in Hopewell became so fractured that one of them had to go. And that someone was Police Chief Steven D. Martin, who unexpectedly resigned from his office on Thursday after a three- year tenure. Even though neither Martin nor his direct supervisor, City Manager Ed Daley, said that the dispute was the sole reason for the chief's resignation, both of them said that it was a factor.
The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office will be ordered to hand over investigation documents to the court pertaining to an assault complaint against South Hackensack Police Chief Michael Frew, a judge decided Thursday.

It was a poor decision and nothing more.
Johnny Walls, the Cedar Grove police chief accused of using excessive force against an elderly ATV rider, has filed a criminal complaint in Kanawha County Magistrate Court against the 80-year- old man, who he says tripped and fell while getting off the vehicle.

The former president of Pakistan's sixth-largest bank, who holds dual citizenship in that country and the United States and was a U.S. government employee, faces extradition to Pakistan under an 80- year-old treaty to face corruption charges in a $10 million fraud case with international political overtones. Hamesh Khan, who worked as a financial analyst for the U.S. Agriculture Department until January, is expected to admit today during a hearing in U.S. District Court in Alexandria that there is sufficient evidence to bring charges against him in a scheme to defraud the Bank of Punjab, which he headed.
Jeffrey Lee Shifflett, former "chief-for-life" of the Hardy Volunteer Fire Co., escaped prosecution for allegedly embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from the department by killing himself nearly two years ago. That act left his wife and adult son literally and figuratively holding the bag, said a state prosecutor Friday -- facing felony charges related to their being beneficiaries of some of the spoils. Deborah Lynne Shifflett, now 40, pleaded no contest Friday in Bedford County Circuit Court to seven related misdemeanor counts of interference with property rights. Prosecutors have alleged that she benefited personally when her husband stole money from the volunteer fire department or allowed her to use the department's credit card to buy gasoline, cellphones, a craft...
