Weekend Roundup

Las Vegas produces the best criminal stories. There's a good story in the Sun about the want-to-be hitman Bellagio poker dealer, who started the website hitmanforhire.net [now defunct], then bargained with his would-be-victims to see if they would pay him more than the contract to kill them, and is now on trial Ireland. (Las Vegas Sun)

Judge Sally Loehrer ruled that the Las Vegas Tribune defamed local attorney David Rivers, who is running against District Judge Jessie Walsh when the paper printed a story stating that Rivers drinks, beats his wife, lies and was born with a Hispanic name but changed it to become more Americanized . (Review-Journal) The suit has since been dismissed because the publisher agreed to print a front-page correction.

Congrats to Christopher Law, who has been hired as an Associate by Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. (Review-Journal)
