A Contra Costa Superior Court judge on Friday sentenced a former Richmond man to death for raping and murdering an 8-year-old girl three decades ago. Joseph Cordova, 63, leaned on his elbows in a Martinez courtroom and showed no emotion as the judge condemned him to die for the 1979 killing of Cannie "Candy" Bullock. "At no point has Mr. Cordova evinced any remorse for the crime, not only denying that he perpetrated it in the face of all-but-conclusive DNA evidence to the contrary, but not even showing any sympathy for what happened to the child," Judge Peter Spinetta said...

Daniel Ortega, the former leader of the Left-wing Sandinistas in Nicaragua and one of the United States' most reviled Cold War enemies, appears to be on the brink of making a spectacular comeback.Twenty years after his Sandinista government fought a bitter civil war against American-funded ''Contra" rebels, he is leading in the polls for the presidential elections on Sunday. But now he has ''found God" and talks of ''peace and love" not Marxist-Leninist ideals. In a final frenzy of campaigning, the podgy, balding 60-year-old, is spreading what he calls a "spiritual revolution", "full of love and hope" around this country,...

October 17, 2006 -- THE death over the weekend of former Rep. Gerry Studds, the first openly gay member of Congress, is a stark reminder of how much all those howls of Democratic outrage over the Mark Foley scandal ring so hollow. The Massachusetts Democrat is being hailed by national political leaders, including Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, as a "role model" who "gave a lot of people courage" by coming out of the closet. Yet Studds openly declared his homosexuality only after an investigation revealed he'd had a sexual relationship with a male teenage congressional page and propositioned two...

Yes, he has a penchant for sexual liaisons with teenage boys. Sure, he fled the country. Absolutely, he was nabbed in Mexico in the company of a teenage companion. But give Kevin Bruce Cooper, 42, props for being a realist. Cooper, a well-known Blount County contractor, could have put off for at least a few weeks a decision on his fate in U.S. District Court. He skipped out to Mexico last year rather than report to prison for an earlier taboo trip to Thailand to meet a young male paramour. But defense attorney Joe Costner told U.S. Magistrate Judge Clifford...

TAVARES, Fla. — A couple tried to hire a hit man to kill their three grandchildren and daughter-in-law to stop them from testifying against their son in his rape trial, authorities said.

Donald Domelle, 65, pastor of the Baptist Temple of Salinas, admitted to two felony counts of lewd conduct with a child and agreed to a minimum of 15 years in prison Thursday in a remarkably swift case that kept one young woman and a teenager from recounting in court their stories of repeated sexual abuse at the pastor's hands.

VUNG TAU, Vietnam -- On warm nights in this seaside resort, neighbors say the British foreigner would sing in his backyard — sometimes for friends, sometimes alone, but always very loudly. Once upon a time, Gary Glitter sang to millions as he pranced and strutted in his metallic jumpsuits as one of the shining stars during Britain's glam rock era in the 1970s. But Glitter, 61, has fallen a long way since his days on top of the charts, dogged by rumors of his predilection for very young girls since his conviction in London in 1999 for possessing child pornography....
