--A former Marshfield High School student who was arrested in 2004 for planning a Columbine-like attack was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and could face 20 years in prison. He was, however, acquitted on a deadly weapons charge and on "promotion of anarchy." [Boston Globe]

--It's not a good sign when police find someone else's Social Security Card in your pocket. A man was arrested yesterday in South Boston with that dubious credential and was taken in on multiple warrants, including receiving stolen property. [BPD News]

--The Supreme Judicial Court denied today the appeal of George Nassar, who has been in prison since being convicted for the murder of an Andover gas station employee in 1964. Known for his "extraordinarily high IQ," Nassar claimed to be the jail-house confidante of the notorious "Boston Strangler," though some people alleged that Nassar himself was involved in those crimes.

All charges alleged until proven under law.
