Look, Ma! One Hand!

  • Law

  • A Clark County jury awarded Richard Suen $70 million against Sheldon Adelson and Las Vegas Sands. Naturally, it will be appealed and there is the possibility of a mistrial due to jury problems that happened Monday. One juror wanted to be separated from the others and had to be talked to by Judge Bare. [RJ]
  • The alleged ringleader of the HOA scandal, Leon Benzer, was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on charges of tax evasion. He probably won’t be back in his taxi any time soon. [RJ]
  • Justin Texeira, the Berkeley law student accused of killing Turk the bird at the Flamingo last fall pleaded not guilty; a jury trial is set for October 14, 2013. [LV Sun]
  • OJ Simpson is expected to testify today. Former DA David Roger testified yesterday and said he offered OJ a deal back in 2008 that would have given him 2 and a half years instead of the 9-33 years he is doing now. [8newsnow]
  • The big news out of OJ’s hearing yesterday was that Judge Linda Bell let him have one hand free. Alas, worried about the possibility of a slow speed chase in a white Ford Bronco, Judge Bell required his other to remain shackled to his chair. [NBC News]

Judge Bell is not going anywhere towards TV. Far too meek.

Stew? Stew could have had (still could have) his own show. The only problem would be that if you gave him a 6:30 timeslot, he would start the show at 6:15.
