Dominick Dunne is in the hospital.
An Australian true crime author has been arrested for a sordid murder.
A Florida true crime author and his wife have turned up dead.
Diane Downs, the subject of Ann Rule's best book ever, in my humble opinion, is up for parole. Has it been that long!? The book was Small Sacrifices.
Mafia History The first issue of THE INFORMER, a journal of Mafia history, has been launched. More information can be found on the journal's informational website, and the first issue is available for download.
President Bush to Face a Murder Charge!? A candidate for Vermont's attorney general post has declared that she will attempt to prosecute the president if she gains office as he leaves office. Vincent Bugliosi attended her press conference, having written a book outlining a legal strategy for doing so.
I like Bugliosi as a writer, and you have to have respect for him as the lead prosecutor of Charles Manson, but he's way off base with this thing with Bush. Does he have any idea what such a thing would do to the country? Bush, I believe, should not have gone into Iraq, but believe me, he, and we, had every right to do so. Saddam was not living up to the UN mandates, his troops were constantly shooting at our aircraft, and he was refusing to comply in areas of importance.
True, we have lost people in the war and subsequent occupation of the country; but that, my fellow Americans, is what happens when force is used, and once there, we couldn't cut-and-run, as they say.
Why Bugliosi is heading down this path is anyone's guess, but I think the old boy perhaps isn't quite what he used to be. And as far as this attorney general wanna-be, well, what better way to get your name out there.
