March 28, 2004 OK IF WE LOOK AROUND? Police came to the Moscow, Idaho, home of two teenagers who reported that a burglar had broken in and stolen their TV and VCR. The police made a routine search of the yard for suspects and found merihiana plants growin in their shed. Arreste followed. THIS SHOULD TURN THINGS AROUND! WHAP! He confessed to the Alabama murder on a police videotape. His lawyer admitted in court that his client committed the crime. Things looked bad. What to do? He punched his lawyer in the face. Prosecutors think he was trying for a mistrial. No dice. The attorney no longer represents him. SORRY TO SEE YOU GO: Twin brothers flying from New York to Miami got into a ferocious argument over possession of the armrest between them. It began with screaming and hollering and escalated into a fistfight. The pilot laned the plane in Delaware, and the cops came on board and removed them. The other passengers cheered. A VERY UNFORTUNATE MAN: A man served 18 years in a South Carolina prison for a murder he did not commit. When he was finally set free, he discovered that someone had stolen his identity while he was locked up, and ran up bad debt in his name. SLEEPING ON THE JOB: A man who went to burglarize a home in Ravenna, Ohio, fell asleep in the garage. The cops had the cuffs on him before he woke up.
