  • The family of a man who was shot by a policeman in Scottsdale, AZ while holding his grandson are filing a suit against the city. 
  • Wang Lijun, Bo Xilai's former police chief, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for "bending the law for selfish ends, defection, abuse of power and bribe-taking." He does not plan to appeal his sentence.
