Today in Labor History May 30, 1899: Pearl Hart committed one of the last stage coach robberies in America, and one of the only committed by a woman. At a young age, she married a man who turned out to be abusive. After watching Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, she decided that the cowboy lifestyle was the life for her. So, she abandoned her husband and caught a train to Trinidad, Colorado (near the site of the future Ludlow Massacre). "I was only twenty-two years old. I was good-looking, desperate, discouraged, and ready for anything that might come." During this time, she may have worked as a prostitute and developed a morphine habit. However, she wasn’t earning much money and decided to rob a stagecoach, along with a companion, Joe Boot. She cut her hair short and dressed as a man. They robbed the stagecoach without incident. But the authorities caught up them and arrested them less than a week later. Hart escaped, but was recaptured after two weeks. During her trial, she pleaded that she needed the money for her sick mother. The jury acquitted her, which really pissed off the judge.

Eight people have been convicted of crimes connected to an armed robbery of Kim Kardashian during Paris Fashion Week 2016. The arrests took place just months after the crime, in which millions of dollars in jewels were stolen, but years of bureaucracy delayed the trial. "Most of the defendants are in their 60s and 70s, arriving at court wearing orthopedic shoes and wielding canes," wrote NBC News's Zacharie Petit and Alexander Smith. "Some have illnesses that include cancer and Parkinson's disease and could not have contrasted more with Kardashian, 44, the billionaire influencer and business doyenne." Prosecutors want 10 years' jail time for the four men believed to have been the ringleaders. Two admitted to their involvement in the crime, but claimed the real mastermind was someone called "X" or "Ben" who prosecutors said does not exist.
