Top O' the mornin to you! Welcome back to the drill!! Yes its a festive green. Or at least dark green. The other greens were too bright. Hehehe..Happy St Patricks Day to you all! Try not to drink TOO much green beer. It is a work night afterall. And next year St Patricks will be on a Friday! That will be insane!!
Hope you all enjoyed the little peak at Disneyland. I'll try to post more pics of things and try to make this thing look just a bit better!! ;-)
Wednesday was like the day of trials.
Up in Northern California, Scott Peterson found out that he would indeed be executed by the state. The judge refused to grant him a new trial and upheld the verdict of the jury. For Peterson, this marks the end of a long journey. A journey that started the day he was caught near the US/Mexico border to the day he was found guiltly of killing his pregnant wife Lacy and their unborn son. Lacy's family now has closure and can hopefully get on with their lives, knowing that the heartless monster that killed their daughter is now behind bars and will one day die for his actions.
Meanwhile, in Van Nuys, Robert Blake was found not guilty of killing his ex-wife Bonnie Bakley and not guilty of trying to solicit his friends to kill her for him. From the start, the prosecution's case was weak. There were no witnesses to the crime, no hard evidence to tie him to the murder and the entire case rested on the testimony of two men whose credibility the defense promptly shredded. In the words of one juror, "They couldnt place the gun in his hand." The family of Bakley has already began drawing up papers for a possible civil trial where the burden of proof is far lower. Blake is far from being finished as far as this case is concerned.
So apparently if you are a celebrity and you murder your ex-wife, then you will go free. First OJ and now Blake. Is Blake guilty? IMO, yes. He may not have actually killed her, but I'm sure he had something to do with it. But you gotta love his alibi. "I couldnt have shot her, because I had gone inside to get MY gun that I forgot." Not to make light of it, but that is funny. At least I think it is....
Today (Thursday) is the day representatives from Major League Baseball will testify in front of congress on the issue of steroid abuse in baseball. I've already said all I can about this topic. I just hope they step up and do whats right for the sport. Baseball seriously needs to clean up its act or the fan base will become more suspicious as time goes on. It will be interesting to see what happens and if any new facts come out of these hearings. We'll have to wait and see.
The Lakers meet the Heat tonight for the final time this season tonight in Miami. This game doesnt have the hype and intrigue surrounding it as the first game did. Perhaps because the Lakers are the HUGE underdogs going into this game. They are battling for the 8th and final spot in the Western Confrence playoffs. Defeating the Heat (and yes Shaq) will go a long way in making a statement. With all the barbs Shaq has fired at the Lakers, you can bet they will be pumped up and will do what it takes to get the job done.
Well thats all for this update. Take care all and I will see you next time...
