04.18.08 Friday Coffee with Bugs and Mongo
It’s been a few since Mongo and I have had the chance to sit over coffee and danish to kick around a few items. Something gets lost in the email’s.
The Roy Ellis trial highlighted the book bag discovered on Valentines day behind a flop house near 21st and Lake. Michael Harris testified that the bad was Amber’s as well as the contents. Inside the bag were the jeans she had on that day, her bra and a blood soaked starter jacket.
On top of everything else the family has been through, now the defense attorneys have managed to get Amber’s parents excluded from the courtroom. Defense Attorneys Patrick Dunn and Jerry Hug objected to their presence. Normally the sequestration order is lifted by Judges when it involves family members because their testimony is most often immaterialto the actual crime. In this case both parents testified as to the last time they saw Amber. Defense Attorneys claim Amber’s father may be called in the defense case. Maybe the thought of these parents eyes on the person that killed their daughter is to big of a burden to bare for them.
Here is the CFM of the month hands down.
Police were called to the Kwik Shop at 156th and Blondo about a suspicious person. When police tapped on he window of said persons car the driver proceeded to take off. Police broke of pursuit when the car entered the Diamond Head sub division however the driver continued to race through apparently thinking he was being chased by every law enforcement person in 3 states. He crashed through fences, drove through yards until he hit an object that set off the air bags. He then attempted to flee on foot when he was picked up by Omaha Police when they spotted him. Seeing that this Complete Fucking Moron was hurt, officers took him to the hospital for some medical assistance and discovered he had a warrant in Iowa for biting a State Trooper after a high speed chase so after he was patched up they cuffed him. Not so fast, while attempting to put him in the cruiser, Mr Hand Restrained Behind the Back attempted to run again however the laws of gravity along with a some good old fashioned “What a Dumbass” luck caused him to fall on his face. So back inside the hospital for some more patching up and then off to jail. Some people are too stupid for their own good.
Ernest didn’t hang around yesterday for the farewell tour and Legislators heaped praise on his 38 years of service. Senators surprised him with a $2500 contribution to the Britany Williams scholarship fund which will be matched by the University of Nebraska. Also they voted to name the Judiciary Committee hearing room in his honor.
The Lancers rallied from 2 goals down to score 3 in the third and take the Sioux City Series 3games to 1. They now face Lincoln in the semi-finals.
The spring game won’t be the same without P.O. Pears. That and 80,000 fresh on the Bo Bandwagon.
That’s it from us this morning. The danish are gone (good batch today Mongo) and work calls.
More later
