Tues Roundup

Apparently running back and genius Pacman Jones was paying thousands of dollars to the alleged gunman in the Minxx nightclub shooting to keep him quiet (Review-Journal) Sports Illustrated reports Genius Pacman paid a total of $15,000 to keep the shooter from "coming after him" [re: genius remark--see prior posts discussing how Pacman "made it rain" on some strippers and then demanded his money back]

In workplace safety regulation news, OSHA has announced it will be cracking down on construction safety in an attempt to stop/reduce the construction-related deaths on the strip (Las Vegas Sun)

More good press for Judge Voy, who is now proposing a safehouse be created for underage prostitutes (Local ABC)

U.S. Marshalls arrested a man in Vegas who's accused of impersonating a priest in four other states and stealing from hospital patients (Nevada Appeal) [at least he had flair--I can't stand boring robbers]

The Nevada Supremes granted a hearing to a man who alleges his attorney refused to appeal his case (Nevada Appeal)

Jon Ralston authored an obituary for recently-departed barrister Charlie Waterman (Las Vegas Sun)

Uhhh . . . the only thing tying this story to Vegas is the publication, but I couldn't resist: The Las Vegas Sun reports a medical patient will be suing a hospital in the Philippines over a video posted to You Tube showing doctors laughing while performing surgery on the man to remove a body spray can from his rectum (Las Vegas Sun) [c'mon . . . it's like it was set in Vegas in spirit]
