WHITEY BULGER: LAST BIG MOB TRIAL IN AMERICA

 It will likely be the last great mob trial in America. Why? Because none of the big guns are left. Gotti? Gone. Gigante? Gone. The remainders are mere pikers. This is something special. As jury selection gets underway for the massive James 'Whitey' Bulger trial in Boston, legal experts say that the master criminal's defence team will be looking for people with street smarts, a disdain for authority and God-willing, reside in his home base of South Boston.  The prosecution, on the other hand, will

CREEPY Anthony Sowell's house, where he is accused of killing 11 woman and hiding their remains was visited by jurors before opening statements in the potentially explosive case. The alleged serial killer is thought to have lured his victims many who had a history of drug abuse  with the promise of booze or narcotics into his Cleveland, OH home.

SELP help guru James Arthur Ray will continue to stand trial for the death of three people in an Arizona sweat lodge after a judge refused a bid by his attorneys to cut his manslaughter trial short.  Kirby Brown, James Shore and Liz Neuman all died at his "Spiritual Warrior" retreat and the bestselling author of The Secret is accused of being reckless in their deaths.
Prosecutors say Ray conditioned participants through breathing exercises, sleep deprivation, a 36-hour fast and lectures to ignore their bodies' signs of danger.
And as a result in the huge temperatures in the lodge, they died of dehydration.  But Ray's attorneys argued that prosecutors hadn't proved their case and that Ray had no legal duty to check on participants during the sweat lodge ceremony and they moved for the case to be thrown out of court.
