...Sicilians," he told Time. "Over the years, I've probably met 50% of the citizens of this region, personally - and half of those I've kissed!" But according to Sicilian prosecutors, not all of the jovial pol's human contacts have been so innocent. The former radiologist is on trial for charges of allegedly aiding the Mafia. Investigators say the regional President tipped off an acquaintance that his conversations were being bugged by police in an ongoing probe into the network providing insider tips to Cosa Nostra's boss of bosses, Bernardo Provenzano. Cuffaro denies any wrongdoing or Mafia ties...
...with the center-right. Last week, the final polls allowed to be published before the regional showdown showed Cuffaro with a five-point advantage. Orazio Marra, a Palermo taxi driver, will vote for the incumbent, opting for his political experience and reserving judgment on the Mafia ties until the trial is over.

"This young kid wants to go to school in the fall and he can't until this is resolved." By this time we had already heard about Seligmann's cab ride, ATM records, cell phone calls and dorm keycard all suggesting he could not have been present when the rape is supposed to have occurred. Osborn and the other defense lawyers have raised enough...
...Superior Court Judge Ronald Stephens rejected the plea: the case "is not going to jump ahead of the line and be handled any differently," he said, and Nifong said it could be next spring before it comes to trial. However well people understand the desire for a speedy trial in this case, what serves the interests of defendants does not necessarily serve the interests of justice.
