This is a wrap up of the minor and unusual stories from the news for the week ending Friday, January 18, 2008. Not surprisingly we find some wingnuttery going on in the Virginia State Legislature. A Lakeland police officer “accidentally” unleashes his police dog on a 14 year old girl, and a 13 year old girl robs a Burger King at knifepoint for a cheeseburger.

It’s shaping up as an interesting week for odd ball news.

Here’s our last installment of the weekly tid bits for 2007. We’ve got a guy stuck in his septic tank on Christmas Eve. And leave it to Fred Phelps to end the year on some wing-nuttery as he blames the tiger attack in San Francisco on gay people. A wyoming woman stabbed her husband for opening presents early, and a bluetooth headset and cell phone foiled a robbery in Columbus, Ohio. We also have some Spanish scientists postulating that time might be slowing down.

Vigilante Justice or Murder?

August 3, 2006 B. John 145 Views Lawrence Storer, Manslaughter, Robbery, Shantavious Wilson, St Petersburg Times

A jury on found restaurant owner Lawrence Storer not guilty of manslaughter for chasing down and killing a man who tried to rob him in 2003. Storer?s attorney John Fitzgibbons argued that he had committed an excusable homicide. Storer, testifying in his defense, told jurors that when Wilson pointed a gun at him, he was terrified of dying, and was acting in shock and instinct when he chased after him in his car. He hit Wilson, killing him on a downtown street.
