Crime Time

The Three Stooges of Crime were again in the news this week. Robert Blake was acquitted of murdering his wife and is going "cowboying" which I guess is similar to the SuperBowl MVP going to Disney World. He might want to hold on to some of that cash since the wrongful death civil lawsuit is scheduled for trial July. Shouldn't have told everyone at the press conference that you were broke, Robert. Lawyers were in attendance.

Hi Ho. Hi Ho, its off to Quentin you go. Scott Peterson was handed the death penalty and so he will be out of sight but not out of mind. Seems that numerous women have already put in their bids to be the next Mrs.. P. Bad news for Scott. I don't think he relishes the thought of playing around while in the joint and his next spousal unit will definitely have a captive audience.

The Michael Jackson saga continues to pull on you. The latest story to take grip concerns a gay porn producer placing a lien on the property at Neverland. Seems Jackson owes the movie mogul for services rendered to the tune of $3 million. That should only be a handful of change to Jackson.

In a related crime story, a man in Montana has been indicted for conspiracy to kidnap the son of David Letterman. The man, a painter, had worked at the Letterman ranch and attempted to recruit a friend to help him kidnap Letterman's son and the son's nanny for a $5 million ransom. Law enforcement officials also charged the man with overcharging for painting work. They do that you know. In the event the guy is acquitted on the primary charge, he can gather time on the back up charge.

In an unrelated non crime story, a Texas lawmaker wants to bring cheerleaders in the state to task. It seems that he objects to the sexually suggestive manner in which they shake their bodies and it disrupts the games and poses a threat to the morals of the young. This guy must be shooting forD.C. Isn't Texas the home of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders? Didn't Debbie do Dallas there? There has to be some type of distraction when the game isn't that close.
