Still, GM's list of bondholders is long enough so it could slow the pace at which a judge would...
...Long Beach Police Department in California when Maybelle Hudson, 80, was beaten, raped and strangled in her Inglewood garage after returning home from choir practice one day in April 1976. The last time Kistner called detectives at the Inglewood Police Department, in 2006, he was told that given the amount of time that had passed since the twice-widowed woman was murdered, the perpetrator was likely deceased or in prison...
