State Senator Carl Kruger's 16 year career as a legislator will likely come to an ignominious end today, when the lawmaker is expected to plead guilty to charges of fraud and taking bribes. Kruger, a Democrat represented the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Brighton Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend, Bergen Beach, Mill Basin, and Midwood, could face up to 20 years in prison on fraud charges and a maximum sentence of five years for bribery conspiracy, the Times reports.

Friends of the 44-year-old stabbing victim who flipped his Range Rover over the curb, killing 13-year-old Kira Goddard on Saturday night, claim that the city is at fault in her death because they failed to pick up tree limbs in the road. "The only reason the car flipped over is because of the debris left in the street," a friend of Sean Lewis told the Post.
