DUI killer's Myspace used against him?
In short, this dude ran a red light after drinking and hit two people, standard DUI homicide case ... but the "accident investigation division" found out through this guy's Myspace profile, that he lives a (wannabe) money, sex, drugs lifestyle ... so ... they are using his profile against him, they have searched his house and seized his computer ...
This guy is guilty, no doubt, for driving while being drunk ... but should they be using his Myspace as proof of this? Or for anything for that matter?
Oh and a special thanks to Google: http://www.myspace.com/JoE_BoNeS In short, this dude ran a red light after drinking and hit two people, standard DUI homicide case ... but the "accident investigation ... more -
2 Bodies Found After Boat Sinks In Tracy
TRACY, Calif. -- Dive teams and sheriff's officials in San Joaquin County found two bodies late Sunday evening, after an aluminum boat with 10 men aboard sank earlier in the day.
Identification of the two bodies is pending, and a spokesman for the sheriff's office said the search would continue for the remaining two men until darkness.
Sheriff's deputies responded to the Oasis Marina at about 1 a.m. and discovered that a 14-foot aluminum boat had sunk, and six out of 10 passengers had made it safely to shore, police said.
Police arrested the boat's operator, Daniel Cordova, 43, who was charged with DUI while boating.
The 10 men are all from Oakland, and police said alcoholic beverages and the lack of swimming ability may have played a role in the incident. TRACY, Calif. -- Dive teams and sheriff's officials in San Joaquin County found two bodies late Sunday evening, after an aluminum boat... more -

Driver charged in death of sleeping teen has DUI convictions
DUIBond was raised to $100,000 on Monday for a woman accused of being drunk when she drove a pickup truck through a Powder Springs home early Sunday, killing a sleeping teenager.
Bond was initially set Sunday at $35,000 for Janette L. Eason, but it was nearly tripled Monday morning by Cobb County Chief Magistrate Frank Cox, Cobb sheriff's spokeswoman Nancy Bodiford said.
Someone will have to put up $10,000 for Eason to be released from the county jail, where she was still being held Monday.
Cobb Chief Magistrate Judge Frank Cox took the unusual step Monday morning of raising Eason's bond.
"I felt like the original bond was not sufficiently high," Cox said.
Cox called his administrative assistant at 8 a.m. from his home to issue the bond order, something he's done only a couple of times during his eight years on the bench.
Cox reviewed her criminal history, which was not available to the original judge, Hugh Robinson, on Sunday night.
"He was only relying on what the police officers told him regarding the facts of the case," Cox said.
The chief magistrate judge said he followed the story on the news and reviewed Eason's criminal history.
Eason's convictions include: two DUI convictions; a felony for making terroristic threats; and driving with a suspended license.
Eason was arrested for DUI by the Georgia State Patrol in Cartersvile in September 2002. She was convicted on the charge in January 2003.
She was also convicted for DUI in Cobb County State Court in 1988.
Eason was convicted of driving with a suspended license in Paulding County Probate Court in September 2003.
Eason was also arrested for cruelty to children in Paulding County. The charges were dismissed, but she was convicted in Paulding County Superior Court of making terroristic threats in May 2003.
She was sentenced to probation on all of those cases, Cox said.
"I became concerned just through news reports as to the egregious conduct. For someone to be apparently so heavily intoxicated they didn't realize they were striking multiple objects and then driving into a house, causing the amount of damage they did, I can only assume there must have been a high rate of speed involved," Cox said.

AntiPoleez eliminates alchohol and tobacco breath
The smartest breath mint yet! This new breath mint is suppose to hide nasty odors caused by alcohol, tobacco and certain types of food.
Apparently people are not too happy about this. They are concerned this will influence more people (especially teens) to drink and drive.
The article says to this concern:
"Purchasing a breath mint in hopes that cops won’t notice how wasted you are behind the wheel is, well, one of the stupidest ideas a human could conjure up. You have to be extremely daft and/or righteously ballsy to think popping a breath mint will exempt you from taking a breathalyser if you’re doing 70mph in a 35mph zone, swerving between lanes. To even think that’s a plausible idea is to be an idiot."
It also says the media is right too: "... the cops won’t notice how drunk you really are!"
