Jihad Jane a 46=year old white, green-eyed bleached blonde Pennsylvania woman was tied Tuesday to an alleged assassination plot against a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the prophet Muhammad atop the body of a dog. That main plot apparently was based in Ireland where numerous arrests were made this week.

Death Recommended For "Dating Game" Killer.

A California jury deliberated only an hour Tuesday before recommended that Rodney Alcala, 66, who once appeared on "The Dating Game" be executed for the murders of four women and a child.

He should be formally sentenced today.

The slayings took place between November 1977 and June 1979, covering a wide swath of suburban Los Angeles from Burbank to El Segundo, prosecutors said.
Before he was a convicted serial killer, Alcala was a winning bachelor on "The Dating Game."

Alcala, who already had been convicted for the 1968 rape of an 8-year-old girl, was the first contestant to be introduced in the game-show episode. After picking him the bachelorette refused to go on a date with him.

Within months of his "Dating Game" appearance, Alcala would become a killer, prosecutors said, abducting and murdering a 12-year-old girl in 1979. Before the decade was over, Alcala would claim four more victims, according to testimony at his trial.

$10,000 Bail for Breast Milk Attack

A 31-year old Kentucky woman arrested for public intoxication faces an additional charge for squirting breast milk into face of her jailer.

The Owensboro, Kentucky woman was arrested Thursday on a misdemeanor count of public intoxication and while changing into a jail uniform she allegedly sprayed a stream of breast milk into the face of a female deputy.

The deputy went through a “biohazard” decontamination process and the woman was booked on an additional charge of third degree assault on a police officer, a felony.

Reports of the case have sparked debates and any number of lewd jokes about whether using breast milk as a weapon should constitute a felony assault case, with many commentors likening it to an accused person spitting on an officer.

Also sparking comment has been the use of the term "bio-hazard" to describe breast milk.
The female jailer faces weeks of medical monitoring to ensure she was not contaminated by the HIV virus.

The squirter was being held in lieu of $10,000 bail.

“Lazy” Nurses Could Trigger Manslaughter Charge

Corporate manslaughter charges are being considered against the prestigious Saint George’s Hospital in South London after a 22-year old patient’s mother discovered him dehydrated and delirious. He died within hours.

According to a report in the Daily Mail online the previous day the young man apparently was so desperate for water that he called police and begged for help. When police responded doctors told them everything was under control.

The young man was suffering from a brain tumor and his mother said nurses failed to give him vital drugs that controlled fluid levels, she said he was totally dependent on the nurses who failed him.

The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 is a landmark in English law. For the first time, companies and organizations can be found guilty of corporate manslaughter as a result of serious management failures resulting in a gross breach of a duty of care. The Act, which will come into force on 6 April 2008, clarifies the criminal liabilities of companies including large organizations where serious failures in the management of health and safety result in a fatality.

The first trial under the Act got underway in Bristol, England on February 23, 2010.
