All the crime news you need
A Utah man who killed a friend in 2003 for giving him a "wedgie" has pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Erik Kurtis Low shot Michael Hirschey with a .357 magnum after Hirschey grabbed Low's undies and jerked upward. A rowdy group at Hirshey's apartment were doing cocaine and making Low the butt of a series of pranks and teasings.

Low had already served more than five years for the shooting when his conviction was overturned by the Utah Supreme Court.

Gary Coleman, in a black cowboy hat, pleaded no contest to reckless driving and disorderly conduct charges connected with an incident in which he ran his truck over the foot of a would-be paparazzo who was taking photos of him at a Payson bowling alley.

Judge David C. Dahlquist told Coleman, "I'd rather not see you here again."

Utah's littlest celebrity cheerfully answered: "I would not like to see me here again, either."
