Keystone Cops is a daily look at crime, police, public safety and drug news. Homicide totals are unofficial.

• A double homicide in Mantua was the city’s 63rd and 64th killing this year, 13 ahead of last year’s total. [Inquirer]

Cherry Hill vs. Smut may have succeeded (I guess), but Cherry Hill vs. Sex Offenders isn’t going so well now that a court has thrown out the township’s ordinance restricting where convicted sex offenders live. “I frankly cannot understand why the state courts would not support our township’s efforts to trample on the rights of everyone we don’t like,” Mayor Bernie Platt said. [Camden Courier-Post]

• Meanwhile, Miguel Figueroa will represent himself in a retrial of the 1996 murder/rape of a 13-year-old girl. He’ll lose. [Camden Courier-Post]

• The Cherry Hill grade-change scandal? All just a practical joke gone awry. A practical joke that ended in third-degree computer theft. [Inquirer]
