'Barefoot Bandit' to make Seattle court appearance
Criminal Law
The young man accused of being the "Barefoot Bandit" is scheduled to make his first court appearance Thursday in Seattle, one day after returning to the state where authorities say his crime-spree started.
After a two-year run from the law that stretched across the nation and to the Bahamas, 19-year-old Colton Harris-Moore was returned to Washington state Wednesday.
The hearing is a procedural appearance in which he will be advised of the charge against him and possible penalties.
Harris-Moore was arrested July 10 in the Bahamas. Authorities say he flew there and crash landed in a plane he stole a week earlier from Indiana.
Police dubbed Harris-Moore the "Barefoot Bandit" because he's accused of committing some crimes without shoes.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements
For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
