After the accident, which took place while the restaurant was still open, one of the two students came forward and took responsibility for the broken window (five gold stars for you, perp #1). According to Bartley, that student convinced his cohort to return and "do the right thing" (hmm, maybe 3 gold stars for you, perp #2). Had the perpetrators tried to escape, though, they still could have been caught: the well-known burger joint is equipped with a security camera...

Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is the mild, happily married Philadelphian who's forced to watch his family's atrocity up close. The two killers are arrested, but assistant DA Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), who's wary of trying a case he might lose, cuts a deal, letting one perp testify against the other. One is condemned to death; the other gets a light sentence. Outraged and embittered, Shelton lies low for 10 years, then activates a revenge scheme that is both madly complex and simply mad.

There on the front page was yet another case of an adult female teacher being arrested for admitting to having had sex with an underage male student. This time the alleged perp was Maria Guzman Hernandez, a 32-year-old instructor at the private Our Lady of Charity school in Hialeah; her victim was 15. But she just as well could have been the 34-year-old Jacksonville public-school science teacher arrested last month for allegedly having sex with a 14-year...

Explanations began with viral marketing for house formals, or merely jokes from blockmates, but as the larger conspiracy was revealed it was clear something more sinister was at work.   FlyBy's investigation (read: one minute worth of brainstorming) found a pretty obvious perp: the Lampoon.  After their overconfettied nonsense last weekend, what else would you expect from the semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine?  They sure aren't publishing...
