News Flash from Tennessee:

Lawyers representing a man accused of killing a dog by kicking it like a football are considering asking for a change of venue because they fear their client may not get a fair trial with Nashville jurors.

Police have said [Chad] Crawford kicked the dog high into the air on April 5 and caused it to die. Gizmo's owner said the two men used the animal like a football player would kick a field goal. Davis is accused of holding the dog down on the ground and Crawford of taking a running start before sending the animal flying into the air. The dog landed under a parked vehicle, police said.

News Flash from La Crosse, Wisconsin:

In what he called "a stupid idea" intended to keep his wife from leaving him, William Dahlby said in court Tuesday that he threw a live electrical wire into his wife's bath the evening of May 9.
Dahlby said he was only trying to scare his wife with the wire he hid under a towel before his wife's bath. "At no time did I ever intend to kill or hurt my wife," he said. "I don't even know if that was possible."

Not yet convicted of felonies, these people retain the right to vote. God Bless America.
