'Saint Joan': Constance Cummings as the George Bernard Shaw heroine. Constance Cummings on stage: From sex-change farce and Emma Bovary to Juliet and 'Saint Joan' (See previous post: “Constance Cummings: Frank Capra, Mae West and Columbia Lawsuit.”) In the mid-1930s, Constance Cummings landed the title roles in two of husband Benn W.

Tom Hahn of Holly Hill, Fl has been charged with second-degree murder in the killing of his roommate, Robert Gray. Witnesses say the death followed when the two men argued over the cooking of a pork chop. Hahn then shot Gray in the head.
Sure, there may have been more to the crime than just a piece of meat, although a pork chop does indeed seem to be the trigger. Roommates of the two men told police that Hahn and Gray actually had a long history of disagreements and not getting along. According to a police report, Hahn had even told his two other roommates that he planned to shoot Gray if the man came home drunk.
To emphasize this, Hahn loaded his rifle with three bullets.
It is not clear whether or not Robert Gray was intoxicated when he returned to his home on Tuesday (Dec. 11) night, but a fight soon broke out anyway.

"Because when you have occasional lovers outside of your relationship, you don't take your partner for granted. In fact, it often helps reinforce why you love your partner in the.

Charlene Marshall tends to dominate any room that she is in. As her 85-year-old husband, Anthony Marshall—gaunt, weary, sad-eyed—stoically waited in Manhattan Criminal Court this week to be sentenced after being convicted for stealing from his mother Brooke Astor, Charlene sobbed uncontrollably. Although Tony was the one facing prison, he was in the odd position of trying to comfort his volatile wife, hugging her and whispering gently. Her loyal friends from St. James Church huddled protectively nearby, to no avail. Charlene wept noisily, making herself the center of attention. Indeed, the Brooke Astor trial really was always all about Charlene. During opening arguments back in April, prosecutor Liz Loewy declared that Charlene was “the motive” for Tony Marshall’s crimes. At the sentencing hearing this week, prosecutor Joel Seidemann,...
