The Oakland woman accused of murder for allegedly throwing her three young sons into the bay suffered from schizophrenia "deepened'' by domestic violence, her attorney said Friday.

Lashuan Harris, 23, appeared briefly in a San Francisco courtroom at the arm of her attorney, Teresa Caffese, the chief deputy public defender. Caffese said after the hearing that her client was under psychiatric care at County Jail.

Harris is charged with three counts of murder and three counts of child abuse in the Oct. 19 deaths of Trayshaun Harris, 6, Taronta Greely Jr., 2, and 16-month-old Joshua Greely.

Oct 30th,

It took only two men to carry the tiny coffin of Taronta Ray Greely Jr., the little boy whose mentally ill mother allegedly threw him from a San Francisco pier with his two brothers earlier this month.

Dressed in a white tuxedo with a white teddy bear and flowers on top, the 2-year-old's body was placed in the sanctuary of the True Vine Missionary Baptist Church in West Oakland on Saturday so that family and friends could say goodbye and comfort each other.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead.
