2. The Melgen jury is still out. Today marks day 3 of deliberations. Strong likelihood of a verdict today before the weekend. After 7 weeks, they won't want to come back next week.
UPDATE -- Friday afternoon verdict -- GUILTY on all counts.
3. Federal agent acquitted of road rage, via the Sun-Sentinel.
4. "The lipstick gang"? Paula McMahon has the details:
Call them the gang that couldn’t put on lipstick straight.
When three men, wearing bright red lipstick, heavy makeup and women’s clothing, walked into a jewelry store and said they were shopping for an engagement ring earlier this month, workers quickly realized they were dealing with an unusual band of gun-toting robbers.
So far, authorities said they have identified two of the wanted men. Jerome Simmons, 29, of Fort Lauderdale, was arrested as he crawled out of a nearby bush sporting only his boxer shorts, socks, makeup and carrying a walkie-talkie in his hand. A pink sweatshirt, pink sweat pants, a wig and a pair of shoes were found under a nearby vehicle, police said.
Melgen should've stayed with original team.
