Eric Halem, a former LAPD officer, was sentenced to life plus 15 years for kidnapping and robbing a teenager of a hard drive containing about $350,000 in Bitcoin. The crime involved Halem and accomplices posing as police officers to gain entry and threaten the victim. The judge rejected Halem's request for a new trial, citing overwhelming evidence and describing the crime as driven by greed. Halem faces additional charges related to other alleged crimes but remains presumed innocent in those cases.
