Yesterday City Councilman Darrell Clarke moved to lift a little known, almost four-decades-old city law that bans men massaging women and women massaging men.
Lots of local trial news this morning: federal prosecutors opened their case against Vince Fumo yesterday by painting a harsh portrait of the man as someone driven by "greed, power, and a profound sense of entitlement." Jurors at the Fort Dix terrorism trial are watching some pretty disturbing videos. The local funeral directors found guilty in that body parts scam were each sentenced to 8 to 20 years in prison yesterday. 20-year-old Malik Collins was convicted of murder yesterday, for the second time in as many months. A 28-year-old North Philadelphia man convicted of murder gave up his right to an appeal yesterday as part of a deal to avoid the death penalty and get life in prison instead. Christian Squillaciotti, the South Philadelphia man accused in that road rage shooting on the Schuylkill Expressway, has been deemed mentally competent to face a preliminary hearing. And finally, two former charter school administrators pleaded guilty yesterday to charges of conspiracy and altering documents in 2006 to cover up their use of more than $14,000 in taxpayer money for personal expenses, including restaurants, gasoline, travel and alcohol.
The Fumo trial is already getting a little nasty, with the defense essentially accusing the prosecution of racism in its jury selection. (We also enjoy the headline of that article, because we misread it as "Fumo-in-law.")
On November 4th, voters will be asked to abolish the Fairmount Park Commission and merge it with the city Recreation Department, placing the whole under the mayor as a standard city department. The Inquirer looks at some of the arguments for and against.
