SERIAL KILLER ANTHONY SOWELL FACES JUSTICE TODAY
TODAY IS THE DAY. Anthony 'Creepy Tony' Sowell goes on trial for his life in a Cleveland courtroom. Remember Creepy Tony? He is accused of raping, murdering and then dismembering 11 Cleveland women in a bloody two-year stretch between 2007 and 2009. He has pleaded guilty by reason of insanity. Well, no shit.
The prosecution's goodies all lay in the killing ground that was Sowell's backyard. In October 2009, cops found the remains of five of 11 dead women. More women have also come forward alleging that Creepy Tony attacked them. Most of the victims were women who had fallen on hard times and drifted into prostitution. While much of the news regarding Sowell have focused on his sinister deeds, little has previously been known about the man. Born in Cleveland, he joined the Marines and saw the world. After his release

ATTACK DOG |
A barking mad Brazilian man picked up a poodle and smashed his wife in the head with it because he suspected she was having an affair.
The 4-pound dog reportedly died while Carla de Camargo Oliveira, the wife, suffered only minor bruises.
But astonishingly cops in Sao Paulo did not arrest him because officers deemed that the attack was not highly dangerous to the woman and he was not caught in the act.
However police did say Wednesday that they are urging prosecutors to charge him with assault and battery and cruelty to animals.

WOMAN BITES OFF ATTACKER'S TONGUE
THAT bites - at least for the attacker of one woman. As she left church in Gerard Michael Landon, 46 approached his victim, who is in her fifties and asked her for a hug. When she refused, he wrestled her to the ground into some bushes and tried to sexually assault her, starting by pushing his tongue into her mouth. So she reacted in a natural way, by biting down onto his tongue and taking a huge chunk of it off.
Needless to say he stopped and ran off, leaving her in the Stamford, CT alleyway.Sgt Paul Guzda told The Stamford Advocate: "It was a substantial piece of his tongue. About an inch worth."
