Three individuals have been convicted in Suffolk armed robberies.

Harry Lee Lewis IV of Suffolk and Dennis Lee Adamson Jr. of Portsmouth have been convicted in connection with armed robberies in Suffolk and attempting to dispose of evidence. The Department of Justice (DOJ) stated that from November 2020 through February 2022, Lewis and Adamson planned and carried out armed robberies of convenience stores. Lewis would shoot a semiautomatic gun into the ceiling of the store upon entering, causing fear among employees and customers. The duo robbed at least five stores together, with one incident at the EZ Food Mart & Deli in Suffolk resulting in Adamson firing shots that narrowly missed a store employee before fleeing with stolen cash. In addition to their joint robberies, Lewis and Adamson also committed separate armed robberies. Lewis robbed a 7-Eleven store on February 1, 2022, while Adamson targeted a Dollar General store in Portsmouth on October 14, 2022, a month after Lewis was arrested. While in detention before trial, Lewis instructed Ieisha Marie Adamson of Portsmouth to remove items from his vehicle, including a box of ammunition hidden in a secret compartment, which she did. These actions led to additional charges against all three individuals involved. Lewis was convicted of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, multiple counts of interference with commerce by robbery, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, and being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. He faces a mandatory minimum of 24 years in prison, with a maximum sentence of life in prison upon sentencing. Adamson, on the other hand, was found guilty of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, multiple counts of interference with commerce by robbery, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, facing a mandatory minimum of 17 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison. Ieisha Marie Adamson was convicted of accessory after the fact and misprision of a felony, potentially facing a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. All three individuals are scheduled to be sentenced on September 19. The severity of their crimes, including armed robberies, possession of firearms, and attempting to dispose of evidence, highlights the dangerous and criminal behavior exhibited by Lewis, Adamson, and Adamson Jr. The DOJ's efforts to prosecute and bring justice to those involved in these criminal activities demonstrate the commitment to enforcing the law and protecting the community from individuals who engage in violent and unlawful behavior. Through the legal process and sentencing to be determined, the consequences of their actions will be upheld, holding them accountable for the harm and fear they caused to innocent victims and the community as a whole. https://therealcrimediary.com/three-individuals-have-been-convicted-in-suffolk-armed-robberies/?feed_id=53856&_unique_id=665a2cb9cb1bf

On a Friday morning in south Edmonton, the police were called to a strange series of events involving a collision and an assault. Three suspects were involved, one of whom had stab wounds. The incident began after a collision near Scona Road and 94th Avenue between a black Ford Fusion sedan and a black Hyundai Sonata.

Innocent man acquitted of killing former Fettes College teacher Peter Coshan

Image
A 65-year-old man was recently acquitted of murdering a retired teacher from Fettes College, but he was found guilty of perverting the course of justice by disposing of the body and providing misleading information to the authorities. The accused, Paul Black, along with his flatmate, Paul McNaughton, allegedly hatched a plan to steal a substantial amount of money from the victim, Peter Coshan, through a catfishing scheme. Despite being implicated in the crime, Black was absolved of wrongdoing in the teacher's death, while the jury found him guilty of obstructing justice. Peter Coshan, a former biology instructor, met a tragic end at Black's residence in Leith after being lured there by McNaughton using a fake profile created on the dating platform Gaydar. McNaughton later confessed to orchestrating the murder and obstructing the investigation. In contrast, Black's involvement was limited to helping conceal the body and providing false details to the police during their i...
