Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Is it true that women do not know or refuse to admit when a
fight is over? I know it is a cliche, and a lot of men have
their own stories, but how true is it, really?
I suppose we could ask Christopher Michael Carroll. Carroll
is a married California man who, perhaps, has a few problems.
He was recently arrested for being under the influence of a
controlled substance, and also has displayed some emotional
issues after police found him holed up in a dumpster refusing
to come out.
And this might explain the tension he has with his wife.
Last Friday Carroll and his wife got into an argument that
lasted until Saturday morning. The details are not known,
but at 12:30 in the morning Carroll reportedly left his
house and got into his minivan, preparing to drive away.
In 99.9 percent of cases this would have been the end of the
argument, or at least the end of round one. But Carroll's
wife wasn't about to let it go at that. She ran into the
driveway in an attempt to stop him. When he pulled out any-
way she climbed on the hood of the vehicle.
Once again, the details of the argument are unknown, but
whatever it was Carroll was so unwilling to continue it that
he just kept driving...35 miles to the next town.
Other motorists called police, reporting that Carroll was
driving close to 100 miles-per-hour, at one point, with a
woman clinging desperately to the windshield wipers.
When he finally slowed down Carroll's wife got the hint
and slid off the hood. He was later arrested on charges of
attempted murder, kidnapping and domestic assault.
Well, that's one way to end a marriage, but I think the real
lesson here is not to jump on the hood of a moving vehicle!
Bizarrely,
Lewis

--------- Man arrested for making 'cat bombs' ---------
HEDGESVILLE, Md. - Authorities in West Virginia said a man
arrested on an explosives charge was making "cat bombs"
to scare felines away from his yard. West Virginia State
Police said Brian Michael Bailey, 42, of Hedgesville, was
arrested Monday after several complaints were lodged about
him setting off some manner of explosive devices at his
home, The (Hagerstown, Md.) Herald-Mail, reported Thurs-
day. Bailey told troopers he had been making "cat bombs"
from combining aluminum foil and toilet bowl cleaner in
empty plastic soda bottles and throwing them into his
yard, frightening away roaming cats with the resulting
explosion. Troopers said they found three exploded bottles
at Bailey's home and two bottles of The Works toilet bowl
cleaner. Bailey was charged with a felony count of illegal
possession of destructive devices, explosive material or
incendiary devices.

---------- Steel beam impales pickup truck ----------
NEW YORK - An electrician scouting New York locations for
a Robert De Niro film said his truck was impaled by a 20-
foot steel beam from a construction site. Mike Prisco, 29,
said he was driving by a construct-ion site in the Little
Italy neighborhood at about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday when the
steel beam crashed through the roof of his pickup truck,
missing his head by less than a foot, the New York Post
reported Thursday. "I was on the phone with the locations
manager, and I heard a loud bang and jumped up," Prisco
said. "I thought I was rear-ended and I got out, and I saw
a beam sticking out of my roof." "I feel very lucky," he
said. "I almost died." Prisco said his vehicle was struck
while he was scouting locations for "Another Night in Suck
City," a film starring De Niro and Paul Dano.

Lewis: While it is true that the jury is the final arbiter
of guilt or innocence in criminal trials, it does not have
the final say on matters of law in civil actions ? at least
not in California where I work as a court clerk. If a jury
renders a verdict which not conform to the law, either
party may make a motion for a judgment notwithstanding the
verdict, asking the trial judge to overturn the jury's
decision. Thus, the judge has the ultimate say on the ap-
plication of the law. -Craig B.
Thank you for education your readers on "Jury Nullification".
It is important that everybody know that the law stands in
just as much judgment as the suspected offender, because
many Judges will not allow a defense attorney to utter those
two words. --Ben
the o j simpson verdict would be an example of a jury over-
turning the law. love your newsletter. -robert
Lewis, All of the people in my head knew about multiple
personality day except me. Why do you think they would keep
that from me? Signed, angry but not alone
Anyone who watches Law and Order, knows about Jury
Nullification. I've been on a few juries, and I would not
have hesitated to vote against a law if it meant moral or
ethical justice. In my opinion, most prosecutors are
arrogant a-holes who are way too full of themselves. Most
want to win, whether or not the defendant is actually
guilty. An awful lot of cases never even should have been
brought to trial. -Bucko in NC
