Tuesday Roundup

The crackpot who brought ricin to a Vegas hotel room plead guilty to possession of a biological toxin before U.S. District Judge Robert Jones because the feds figure he had no intention of harming anyone. (Review-Journal) [uh . . . snap judgment on this one--owning an airborne toxin should be a strict liability crime]

File this one under dumbest prostitute ever: yesterday, a working girl propositioned Syeve Wynn in his casino. When he attempted to escort the escort to the door, she slapped him in the face. (Review-Journal)

Lake Las Vegas may be bailed out of its financial collapse. Bankruptcy Judge Linda Riegle said she will sign an order approving $127 million in post-bankruptcy financing for Lake Las Vegas, following a recommendation from a committee of unsecured creditors. (Review-Journal)

An in the build-up to O.J. trial [pt 2], yet another of the Juice's co-defendants has pled guilty and agreed to testify against the former NFL star and [acquitted] ex-wife murderer. (Review-Journal) [I hope Johnnie Cochran left some more cute rhyming closing arguments behind when he died or the Juice is in serious trouble].
