http://www.missingpeople.net/ Canadian news is already becoming saturated with the Robert Pickton murder trial, and it’s only a few days into what they expect will be a full year of horrific revelations. As is always the case with serial killers, the more gruesome the allegations, the more press coverage the killer receives; I hate that the […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070105/ap_on_re_us/mansion_madam_4 America’s sleaziest headlines are often a harbinger of some very telling social remarks. I particularly loved this cause for concern, voiced by a high-priced madam’s neighbours: Porter could not say for sure how long the illegal activity was going on, but neighbors have been complaining for at least three years. Among other things, neighbors […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061115/ap_en_tv/simpson_interview_37 This is the strangest – and sickest – thing I’ve seen all week. OJ continues to act like a guilty man (he’s a Stanislavsky devotee) when it comes to his ex’s murder. Here, he apparently walks us through exactly how it happened. What innocent man would agree to this kind of exercise, never mind […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060828/ap_on_re_us/jonbenet_ramsey_419 Prosecutors abruptly dropped their case Monday against John Mark Karr in the slaying of JonBenet Ramsey, saying DNA tests failed to put him at the crime scene despite his insistence he strangled the 6-year-old beauty queen.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060801/ap_en_ce/gibson_remarks_35 Speaking of crapulence wallowing, the watercoolers at my work are still yabbing about the revelation of Mel Gibson’s paranoid anti-Semitism. My favourite thing to come out of the story (though the term “sugartits” is pretty high on the list too) is the reaction of the cop who pulled him over. Turns out he is […]

The Don’t-Bother-to-Knock Rule – New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/16/opinion/16fri1.html?ex=1150689600&en=95695c4cba23e074&ei=5087 Another step away from former privacy rules by the rejigged US Supreme Court, and it’s small enough and positioned in such a way that most Republicans will support it. But all these baby steps add up, and each ruling takes the US further down the path to Big Brotherhood. Once you get there, it […]

http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/homicide/rewards/wynter/ I spent today remembering that it was my friend Chad’s 31st birthday. I say “was”, as Chad is now one of the Toronto Police cold cases – he was murdered five years ago, and they’ve never figured out what happened. I also say “friend”; I hadn’t seen him for a few years before he […]
