Totally Unshocking Crime Headlines, Vol. 9

It's been a while since our last Totally Unshocking Crime Headline, so posting a new one seems like a nice way to round out the work week:

"Murder charges await Marine captured in Mexico"

Well, duh.

Regarding the capture of and charges facing U.S. Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean, the mother of the victim -- 20-year old Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, who had accused Laurean of raping her and who was approximately eight months pregnant at the time of her death -- said, "Of course, I'm a great believer too in the American system of justice, where you have a presumption of innoncence until proven guilty...But in my heart of hearts I do believe he probably is [Maria's killer]."
