Missouri Sportswriter Murdered in Possible Road Rage Incident

Make no mistake, I'm thrilled about the arrest and (potential) closure of this.

But ... given the eyewitness, the cell phone data and the firearms at the accused house, how the **** did it take 6 months to make an arrest?

Good question! At least from the AA story and the NY Post story it links to, it's not entirely clear how the police developed him as a suspect to begin with beyond the ambiguous "cell phone data" statement.

That's a(nother) parking pet peeve of mine - if you need more than one try to do something simple like backing into a space, then don't do it. And if you need 3 tries? Then it's probably a vehicle you can't handle and shouldn't be driving in the first place.

My thing is you should be taxed on the size and weight of your vehicle. Have a little Corolla, you pay less than someone with a lifted truck.

Speaking of road rage, I had an interesting case yesterday driving up 95 north in North Carolina. Was in the right lane, going 78 in a 70. Some truck from Florida was in the left lane, cruising at like 75, refused to move over. Woman comes screaming up behind me, flashing her brights, gesticulating at me to get over so she could pass. I held my ground and just watched her melt down. Finally got past the cruising vehicle, she cuts in front of him far too close for comfort, all the while flipping me off.

I can't see where I was anywhere in the wrong on this one. Just a crazy ***** being a crazy *****.

This adds some detail, but not much.

There's a universe in which this is the start of the greatest Penthouse Forum letter ever.

Thank goodness that dude was so stupid as to store the murder weapon in his home safe, rather than in the bottom of a deep river.

All that information should have been gathered in a week tops, not five months. Particularly the cellphone info, which would've winnowed the field greatly from the start.

It's always the cellphones that finger the perp.
