...defense team could have made more of those same clothes, but didn't. Given the gory nature of the killing, Coleman's clothes should have been splattered with blood. They weren't. Given his need to get out of the McCoy house -- by the prosecution's own scenario, Coleman showered later, not at the McCoy's -- there should have been traces of semen in his underwear and on his wash cloth. There weren't. The prosecution claimed that Coleman waded through a 10-in.-deep creek, a charge it supported by pointing out that the legs of his jeans were...
...stricks that universal chord in everyone: she is young, stubborn and impressionable but independent. She reminds us of our own youth, or what our younger sisters are like.

The sounds of a war in progress fell away, replaced by the soft moan of one more of its victims...
...running the ; lucrative private garbage-carting business, but at 73 he may lack the stamina for big-time crime. Joseph "Butch" Corrao can cite success in overseeing gambling, restaurants and loan-sharking in Manhattan's Little Italy. Then there is John Gotti Jr., 28, cut from the same cloth as his father but widely disliked. Tommy Gambino, son of the family's founding father, once seemed a likely successor, but in February he pled guilty to antitrust charges and was ordered to abandon the trucking monopoly that gave the family control of the garment center...
