Regarded as the most famous second banana in show business history, Ed McMahon died early Tuesday morning at UCLA Medical Center after a long bout with bone cancer. Arguably his most famous assignment lasting 30 years was that of announcer and sidekick of Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. The last few years of his life were filled with tragedy, ranging from his first son’s death from cancer in 1995 to him breaking his neck in 2007 (which all but obliterated his prolific television work). McMahon was 86.

Members of the Brazilian military have thus far located 28 of the 228 presumed dead passengers of Air France, flight 447, which was deemed “lost” this past week. Subsequent findings reveal the plane’s crash site to be approximately 230 miles off a Brazilian coastline.
Facing pressure from its pilots, Air France decided to immediately replace airspeed sensors on all of its A330 and A340 jets. French air accident investigators have not yet determined that a problem with the speed sensors caused the doomed Airbus A330-200 447 to crash. In the meantime, they are looking into whether inconsistent speed measurements could have played a role since speed sensors can be vulnerable to icing in high-altitude storms, the type of weather that this plane may have encountered. Again, my prayers are with all of you affected by this tragic occurrence.

Last month I wrote about three defendants, Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor who appeared before the Los Angeles Superior Court. They were arraigned on six felony charges including “prescribing, administering, or, dispensing a controlled substance to an addict.” That addict is the late Anna Nicole Smith. They each have pled not guilty to the charges.
Today marked another procedural point in this debacle. A brief proceeding was held in the Superior Court, however, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor showed up late and risked the chance of being arrested. He eventually did show up.
Judge David Wesley has scheduled the preliminary hearing for Wednesday, August 12.
My last post on this case generated several questions and a lot of reader interest so you can be sure that I’ll continue to follow this story.

Who knew an extramarital affair could be so deadly? Illinois bodyguard Chris Coleman has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the strangulation deaths of his 31-year-old wife, Sheri, and their 2 children, Garett (11) and Gavin (9). All 3 victims were found in their home on May 5th.
A possible motive? How about a steamy tryst with Sheri’s friend, Tampa-St.Petersburg paramour Tara Lintz? Lintz admitted, via affidavit, that Coleman promised his divorce from Sheri would be finalized June 14th, so that they could wed shortly thereafter. These facts are aberrantly similar those of Amber Frey and Scott Peterson… Just after the bodies were discovered, Coleman e-mailed Lintz he has an alibi, namely, that he went to the gym for an early morning workout between 5 and 5:30 a.m.; the official time of death for the wife and children is between 3 and 5 a.m.. Coleman also stated that he checked on his family members before he left.
Sheri Coleman’s family is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Chris Coleman. He remains jailed without bond and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 10. Please excuse Lady Justice for the time being - she is busy conducting forensic research.

Despite efforts to employ a graduated exit strategy in Iraq, there have been slightly more than 4,300 soldiers killed since our initial invasion in spring 2003. This past month represented the largest number of deaths in almost a year.
We honor those valiant souls who, both here and abroad, attempt to protect the liberty of our great nation.
