A former U.S. Postal Service employee from Delmar who collected nearly $430,000 in disability benefits for a 1987 back injury that supposedly rendered her unable to work was convicted of fraud Tuesday in U.S. District Court.
Carol-Lisa Gutman, 66, who claimed she was in constant excruciating pain that required her to spend up to 16 hours a day in a hot tub, was convicted on all eight counts she faced at trial before Senior Judge Frederick Scullin. A jury convicted Gutman of wire fraud, federal employees compensation fraud and theft of government money.
Dozens of judges rejected Wallie Howard killer’s pleas for freedom. Then came Trump

Syracuse, N.Y. – Dozens of judges have rejected Jaime Davidson’s bids for a new trial in the 1990 robbery-turned-murder of an undercover Syracuse police officer.
For 29 years, Davidson tried to convince judges, lawyers, activists, athletes, musicians and even the U.S. Supreme Court of his innocence. The federal Office of the Pardon Attorney turned down his case twice, in 2013 and 2017, records show.
Davidson, of Brooklyn, was found guilty by a jury of leading a drug ring and directing the robbery that ended in undercover officer Wallie Howard’s death. He maintained his innocence. He described himself as a rapper whose associates were fellow artists to defend against conspiracy charges.
