Man Facing Murder Charges Wants His "MURDER" Tattoo Removed

Man Facing Murder Charges Wants His “MURDER” Tattoo Removed:   A Kansas man facing first-degree murder charges is trying to convince the state to bring in a tattoo artist to obscure or remove a giant “MURDER” tattoo he has on his neck before the trial begins, fearing it could prejudice his case.  Probably a smart idea!  I mean at the very least, I’d see if they could change the tattoo to read “MANSLAUGHTER!”

No Charges for Teen Airline Stowaway to Hawaii:  The FBI says it will not prosecute a runaway teen who survived freezing temperatures and extremely thin air during a 5.5 hour flight to Hawaii after crawling into the wheel compartment of a Hawaiian Airlines jet.  The frazzled teen told police that about the only positive thing about his flight was at least he had more leg room than he would have had flying coach.

Michigan Man Gets a Bionic Eye:  A Michigan man who suffered from a degenerative eye disease that left him blind can now see glimpses of his wife, grandson and cat thanks to a computerized “bionic eye.”  Sadly, the eye was immediately hacked into and now all he basically sees is porn all day long.

Navy Investigating the Blue Angels:  Documents show that the Navy have reassigned a former commander of the Blue Angels, its acrobatic fighter squadron, and is investigating allegations that the elite team of pilots was a hotbed of hazing, sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination.  If indicted, its unlikely they’ll get bail, because of the “flight risk.”
