An Illinois man will spend the rest of his life behind bars for murdering an 11-year-old boy who was protecting his mother during an attack the day after the suspect was released from prison.

An interim U.S. attorney that a court declined to appoint upon the expiration of his acting term has acted "erratically and potentially illegally," a bar complaint claimed.

A doctor is headed to prison after he murdered his wife by suffocating her with a pillow and then claimed the injuries he suffered during the attack were from playing with the family dog.
