In Batehaven, Australia, Tracey Pratt bludgeoned her elderly neighbors Ken and Margaret Keyte to death for setting a rabbit trap that had captured her cat.

Our pets are precious to us, but now Tracey Pratt is in prison where no pets are allowed. Roughly one-third of all homicides result from rather minor altercations escalating into violence.

A woman was riding on a bike path in Lansingburgh NY when Stephen Pluff, riding in the opposite direction, reached his arm out, knocked her down, and raped her.
