Kadeem Cook just had to use that stolen cell phone to snap a shot of himself holding up his gun. Poor guy didn't know it was programmed to auto send all pictures to the victims desktop. heh! Video here of his lawyer saying, Hey, it was only a picture. Yeah, right. Good luck with that one. But then, who knows what might happen in court, any more?
Police yesterday announced the arrest of Kadeem Cook, 18, of the 200 block of West Champlost Street in Olney, who authorities say robbed a woman at gunpoint on October 7 as she was walking along the 1000 block of Nedro Avenue, taking her purse and cell phone.
Police said the robber then used the woman's cell phone to take photos of himself holding the gun used in the robbery.
But the woman had rigged her phone to automatically transmit images to her home computer. She contacted police, who gave reporters a photo of Cook mugging with the gun in the robbery, pointing it at his head.
After seeing the photo widely disseminated, Cook thought it best to surrender to police, which he did about 11:30 p.m. Thursday at Northwest Detectives.
This guy just made Obama's short list to replace Treasury Secretary Tim the Tax Man Geithner. It seems he has all the requisite brain power for an Obama appointment to the smartest administration in history.

Looks like that's a pellet gun, too.

Obviously, the cellphone didn't know that there are rules against "self incrimination"

It is. A pump Crossman. I have the exact same model.

The gun he's holding looks just like an air pistol that fires a very small pellet .177 caliber, if I recall correctly. I used to own one. If anyone can confirm this, please do.
My point being even though it fires an extremely tiny pellet at low velocity, it probably still would have been enough to blow out the pea-sized brain of this loser.

This should make fresher fiars much more exciting - never mind a free football from Barclays - how about a free sports car and a pad in Marbella?
