New York (AP) - Philip Seymour Hoffman, who won the Oscar for best actor in 2006 for his portrayal of writer Truman Capote in "Capote" and created a gallery of other vivid characters, many of them slovenly and slightly dissipated figures, was found dead Sunday in his apartment with what law enforcement officials said was a syringe in his arm. He was 46.
The two officials told The Associated Press that glassine envelopes containing what was believed to be heroin were also found with the actor.
The law enforcement officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk about the evidence at the scene, said the cause of death was believed to be a drug overdose.
Hoffman - no matinee-idol figure with his lumpy build and limp blond hair - made his career mostly as a character actor,...

New York — On the CBS documentary series "Brooklyn Da," the story line is simple: Can prosecutors put the bad guys away?
Behind the scenes, the drama unfolding at one of the nation's largest district attorney's offices is more complex, with an upcoming election and opponents threatening to unseat the longtime leader, a review of dozens of cases and a federal lawsuit by a man who was wrongfully convicted.
"I think there is definitely some damage control going on," said Alex Vitale, a Brooklyn College political sociology and criminology professor. "But it's important to keep in mind it's a huge staff. I don't think it's fair to say there is some kind of crisis in the day-to-day at the Da's office."
In Brooklyn, Charles "Joe" Hynes is a ubiquitous figure with a tough-on-crime persona that has won him diverse fans – and critics – throughout the borough. His office sees more than 1,500 new...

Denver — James Eagen Holmes came from a well-tended San Diego enclave of two-story homes with red-tiled roofs, where neighbors recall him as a clean-cut, studious young man of sparing words.
Tall and dark-haired, he stared clear-eyed at the camera in a 2004 high school yearbook snapshot, wearing a white junior varsity soccer uniform – No. 16. The son of a nurse, Arlene, and a software company manager, Robert, James Holmes was a brilliant science scholar in college.
The biggest mystery surrounding the 24-year-old doctoral student was why he would have pulled on a gas mask and shot dozens of people early Friday in a suburban Denver movie theater, as police allege.
In the age of widespread social media, no trace of Holmes could be found on Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter or anywhere on the Web. Either he never engaged or he scrubbed his trail.

New York — Ten years ago, a misunderstanding at a Memorial Day neighborhood cookout turned into a bloody night of gunfire.
Neighbors told police they thought a man named Danny Williams had gotten into the barbecue brawl with two men who were later shot. One died, the other was seriously injured. But police could find no trace of Williams, then a 25-year-old parolee known as D-Knife.
The trail went cold.
Enter John Walsh and his long-running television show "America's Most Wanted." Walsh's team aired an episode on the shooting twice in 2009 and plastered Williams' face on the show's website.
On July 19, 2010, Williams was captured and arrested by detectives with the New York Police Department's fugitive task force using fingerprints. He was found guilty of murder and sentenced earlier this year to 50 years in prison.
"Everyone wants to give us a huge amount of credit, but really the cops did all the work,...
