Whipped Cream Difficulties

And I said, “What about ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’?”

And I said, “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got.”

(For those of you who have forgotten your one-hit wonders, reference explained here.)

(“The Matrix”? Whoa. But I’m pretty happy about “Dirty Harry” and “A Christmas Story”. I have the Criterion editions of both “Two-Lane Blacktop” and “Anatomy of a Murder“, but haven’t watched either one yet.)

The NYT finally got around to publishing an obit for Reinhold Weege, the creator of “Night Court” whose death we noted previously.

Alex Sanchez was the executive director of Homies Unidos, an anti-gang organization, when he was indicted in 2009 on Federal charges of “racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder”. The government alleged he had ties to the MS-13 gang.

Yesterday, the government asked that the charges be dismissed “without prejudice”, which gives them the right to refile those charges in the future.

The action follows a recent court filing by defense attorney Amy Jacks, who demanded that the case be dismissed because prosecutors “presented false evidence to the grand jury, lied to the grand jury and withheld exculpatory evidence,” she said. Her motion was not made public because it deals with sealed testimony before a federal grand jury, she said.
