EL PASO, Texas (Nov. 24) - Border agents last week landed a meaty bust, seizing 756 pounds of bologna arranged into the shape of a car seat and covered with blankets in a man's pickup.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 81 rolls of Mexican bologna Friday at the Paso Del Norte bridge as the pickup entered the United States.

 

''It puts the ultimate consumer at risk,'' said customs spokesman Roger Maier. ''Who knows how long these products have gone without refrigeration or without proper handling?''

 

Children were sitting on top of the illegal load before it was discovered, Maier said. The rear seat had been removed from the extended-cab pickup and the bologna was put in its place.

 

He said the agency plans to pursue civil penalties against the Mexican man driving the truck. Maier said the agency won't release the man's name until the case goes to trial.

 

Maier said the bologna goes for about $1 a roll in Juarez. When it is sold to a customer in the United States, it can go for between $5 and $10 a roll , he said.

Woman Gets 18 Years for Castration Try

 

SANTA FE, N.M. (Nov. 28) - A woman was convicted of kidnapping for planning an attack in which four of her friends assaulted and attempted to castrate her ex-boyfriend.

Melissa French, 27, was convicted Wednesday and faces at least 18 years in prison, (Give her 36-50 years) - more than any of the attackers, all of whom accepted plea deals with prosecutors.

 

The men attacked Donald Hamilton at his Santa Fe home in June 2002. A Russian assault rifle was placed in Hamilton's mouth and later fired between his legs, and the word "narc" was carved into his forehead with a pocketknife. He suffered separated shoulders, stab wounds and broken bones.

 

French was acquitted of kidnapping Hamilton, but convicted of kidnapping his roommate, who was held down during the attack.

 

French's attorney, Stephen Aarons, said he was shocked by the jury's verdict, (not ME). He said French's 3-year-old daughter, who suffers from cancer, (BFD), will be dead and her 10-year-old son will be grown by the time French is released. (Sorry, bitch.)

 

Aarons said French had turned down a plea deal that carried a minimum four-year prison sentence.

 

Prosecutors said French told the attackers - including her ex-husband, Haley G. French - that Hamilton had burglarized Haley French's home.

 

After showing the men where Hamilton lived, Melissa French was dropped off at a convenience store while Hamilton was attacked, prosecutor Linda Lonsdale said.

Controversial Driver's License Law Repealed

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger can now check another thing off his "to-do" list that was written during his recall election campaign to oust Gray Davis from office. The Democratic-controlled state legislature Monday repealed a controversial bill that granted drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants. The 64-to-9 Assembly vote reversed the bill that the Republican Schwarzenegger had vowed to get rid of. The bill was scheduled to take effect January 1. In a statement, Schwarzenegger said, "I am extremely grateful that partisan differences were set aside to reach this important agreement."

German Accused of Cannibalism on Trial

KASSEL, Germany (Dec. 3) - A computer expert accused of killing, dismembering and eating another man who allegedly agreed to the arrangement over the Internet went on trial for murder Wednesday at a court in central Germany.

 

Prosecutors in the city of Kassel accuse Armin Meiwes of killing a 43-year-old from Berlin, identified only as Bernd Juergen B., in March 2001, by stabbing him in the throat at his home in the town of Rotenburg.

 

Prosecutors say the killing was carried out with the victim's consent. But they classified it as murder, not - as the defense argues would be appropriate - a form of mercy killing, arguing that the evidence indicated it was carried out at the suspect's initiative.

 

Meiwes, 42, who has confessed to the killing, could face a life prison sentence if convicted of murder. Prosecutors say the killing was sexually motivated.

 

Dressed in a dark suit, Meiwes appeared relaxed as he sat down next to his lawyer at the Kassel state court Wednesday.

 

The suspect allegedly chopped the body into pieces, deep-froze parts of it and buried the rest, capturing the crime on a videotape which is being used as evidence. Police who searched his home found human flesh and bones.

 

Police tracked down and arrested Meiwes in December last year after a student in Austria alerted them to an advertisement the suspect allegedly placed on the Internet seeking a man willing to be killed and eaten.

 

A verdict from the court, which is scheduled to hear 38 witnesses, is expected in February.

Man Buys Two Winning Lotto Tickets

 

 

ATLANTA (Nov. 12) - A Georgia man's trip to a grocery store yielded not one, but two winning tickets for a $70 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot.

The jackpot is good for a cash-option prize of $26.6 million before taxes, lottery officials said.

 

Stephen Cooke said he did not realize until he went to claim the prize that he had bought two sets of winning numbers for Tuesday's drawing.

 

"When I saw that one of my three tickets was a winner, I was in shock," said Cooke, who plans to use his winnings to buy a cabin on a lake and spend time fishing. "I didn't even think to check my other tickets."

 

The other Mega Millions ticket was purchased in Portage, Mich.

Had Cooke bought just one ticket, his gross winnings would have been about $11 million less.

 

The winning numbers were 2-5-17-21-22, with a Mega Ball number 43.
