When we moved to Los Angeles five years ago, Cassandra bought her first car ever - a totally badass 2005 black Ford Mustang with silver stripes.

If Mel Gibson had been in a Prius, the cops would have set up a motorcade for him to weave behind and yell out his window about the Jews...

...dispute at the heart of the case is about what happened next. According to prosecutors, Roland and Wilhelm tied James up with Scotch tape, locked him in a box and bundled him into the trunk of their car, before driving 300 miles (about 485 km) to Roland's house near the lakeside resort of Chiemsee in southern Germany. At one point during the trip, James tried to escape at a rest stop, but Roland and Wilhelm forced him back into the car, breaking two of his ribs. When they arrived at the house, the defendants' wives, Sieglinde...
