From the "Sex and Violence" files... The Playboy Playmate galpal of Cleveland Browns [quarterback] Jeff Garcia, accused of grabbing a dance pole and karate-kicking Garcia's ex in the head, was found not guilty of assaulting the woman...
I'm not sure I'm happy living in a country where a kick in the head isn't assault...
However, Judge Anita Laster said Carmella DeCesare did violate a protective order the pigskin player's scorned sweetie, Kristen Hine, had against the reigning Playmate of the Year.
Oh. Well. That's different. As long as protective orders are sacred...
During the three-day misdemeanor assault trial in Cleveland Municipal Court, the judge heard testimony from Hine, 32, who accused DeCesare, 22, of kicking her in the head last Aug. 21 at a nightspot appropriately called Tramp... Testimony revealed the women apparently were brawling over the affections of Garcia, who took the stand this week in his newer, younger Playmate's defense. He portrayed his ex as an obsessive groupie with an annoying attraction for him. DeCesare, who faced a year in jail on the assault charge, stands to receive probation, community service and a fine.
A man on death row for blasphemy died on Wednesday, but groups of angry youths prevented his burial in a local graveyard. Local clerics issued a "fatwa" declaring that Muslims who attend the funeral of Idrees Rabbani, 60, would lose their faith while groups of baton-wielding youths stopped his family from burying him in cemeteries in Multan. Family members said they would now cremate his body or bury him secretly without a funeral. Rabbani was arrested in November 2001 for distributing printed material considered blasphemous and was convicted in May 2002.Ziaullah, the jail superintendent, said Rabbani was suffering from an ulcer. However, his relatives said he should have been shifted to Nishtar Hospital.
