...Some in the public questioned whether Jackson, at 50, would still be able to command a stage, and recent reports published Sunday in Britain's Daily Mail said that Jackson had been too feeble to dance, sing or, at times, even speak in the weeks leading up to his death. But, Holley - despite his own early concerns about a lack of rehearsal time leading up to the first London shows in July - says the star's presence and energy during his final week was unequivocal. "He'd take the stage with this group of dancers, all in their...
...letter to the judge last week. He said his client was seeking "neither mercy nor sympathy" and recognized the "anger and resentment" in the victims' impact statements, but felt they were looking for a "type of mob vengeance" that would "render meaningless the role of the Court."

But that is likely to change as India and China become wealthier and their citizens find themselves with more disposable income, he says. That, in turn, is likely to further increase the death rate unless...
Still, Knox's words may yet work against her. Her rosy depiction of the roommates' relationship contradicted testimony from Kercher's friends that the two didn't get along. Speculating on Kercher's slow death--pathologists say she choked on her own blood--Knox called it "yucky, disgusting" and mimicked sounds of choking in a manner that seemed to startle jurors. When asked if she ever thought about the victim, Knox was less than sympathetic. "In the end, I knew her for a month," she said. "And first of all, I'm trying to get on with my life...
