He pled guilty.

The judge suspended sentencing pending psychological evaluation. Daniel Culligan’s lawyer is pressing for community service and no jail time. The prosecuters are insisting that they’ll push for the maximum sentence. Regardless of what happens, I have to think the letters the prosecution received made a difference. There has been no deal cut, and the press…

Smarty Jones

I can’t decide which would be worse: Smarty Jones losing the Belmont on Saturday, or Smarty Jones winning the Belmont. I feel like a little kid in the back of the station wagon going to Gradma’s. Instead of “Are we there yet?” however, the phrase repeating over and over in my head is “Is it…
