Scott Peterson Guilty!

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) - Scott Peterson was convicted Friday of murdering his pregnant wife and dumping her body in San Francisco Bay in what prosecutors in the made-for-cable-TV case portrayed as a cold-blooded attempt to escape marriage and fatherhood for the bachelor life.

We now resume our regularly scheduled lives.

#6 Going to be tons of appeals on this one. Jury irregularities, problems with admisson of exculpatory evidence, etc.

Probably Prosecution will probably plea down for Life sentence if he agrees to admit guilt (and avoid the appeals).

-Short Attention Span Theater-

Derailment Spills 20,000 Gallons of Beer

Oh God! The humanity!!
CHILHOWIE, Va. - Fourteen cars of an 83-car Norfolk Southern train derailed near an industrial park, leaving the area smelling like a brewery Thursday. About 20,000 gallons of beer leaked from three cars of the Roanoke-bound train, said railway spokesman Robin Chapman. No one was injured when the cars skipped the tracks about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, Chapman said.

I believe I can hear a low, agonized moaning.... and the stampede of guys with buckets converging on the area.

#8 I think it was last year sometime, that a Jim Beam distillery caught fire and burned? In my liver's opinion, that was an infinitely more tragic event.
