Their 'offense'? Shopping while black
Leah Wells and two girlfriends decided to ditch the gym during an office lunch break and do some power-shopping instead. The three young women, all in their 20s and all black, ended up wrongly detained for shoplifting. Their offense, as Wells sees it, was being black in America. It's a common refrain from black people in the U.S., says CNN's Soledad O'Brien.
Dolly weakens, carries rains inland
Hurricane Dolly was downgraded to a Category 1 hurricane today after it made landfall on South Padre Island, Texas, the National Hurricane Center said. But Dolly's sustained winds were still about 95 miles an hour. The storm is expected to produce from 8 to 12 inches of rain, with up to 20 inches in isolated spots, and widespread flooding is likely.
Dad angered by 'monster' molester's freedom
Jurors convicted the art teacher of forcing a boy to have sex with him repeatedly in a classroom supply closet. A judge sentenced him to 43 years. But Aaron Mohanlal has yet to spend a day in prison, and he lives 15 miles from his victim. "The idea of that monster being that close to my family again is outrageous," the boy's father told CNN for an exclusive report.
