Cammy Blackstone's Aunts?
At the very least-- definitely Dodger fans.
"Prosecutors said the women recruited their prey from among the homeless of Hollywood, invested thousands of dollars in insurance policies on them and in putting them up in apartments, then drugged them and ran them over in secluded alleys."
"By the end of the five-week trial, the women had turned on each other. "

"Black Widows" Guilty In Homeless Murders
Calif. Duo Convicted In Scheme To Collect $2.8M In Insurance Payouts After Staged Hit-And-Runs
LOS ANGELES, April 17, 2008
(CBS/AP) A jury that returned five guilty verdicts against two women in the murder-for-profit deaths of two homeless men still has work to do.
Helen Golay, 77, was found guilty Wednesday of the first-degree murders of Kenneth McDavid, 50, in 2005 and Paul Vados, 73, in 1999. The jury also convicted her of conspiracy to murder for financial gain counts in both killings.
Co-defendant Olga Rutterschmidt, 75, was convicted of conspiracy to murder McDavid for financial gain as the judge decided to take five initial verdicts.
But in an unusual step, Superior Court Judge David Wesley ordered new arguments be presented Thursday on two counts alleging that Rutterschmidt murdered McDavid and Vados, and a conspiracy count involving Vados.
From the start, the defendants' advanced ages kept the case in the headlines, drawing comparisons to the play and film "Arsenic and Old Lace," the Los Angeles Times reported. The killings came to be known as the Black Widow murders.
Prosecutors said the women collected $2.8 million from insurance policies on the lives of two homeless men who were killed in staged hit-and-run incidents.
Golay's convictions carry potential sentences of life in prison without possibility of parole. The single conspiracy count returned against Rutterschmidt carries a sentence of 25 years to life.
Jurors' struggles on some counts became evident Tuesday when they handed in some sealed verdicts and continued deliberating. On Wednesday, the panel asked for readings of testimony by three witnesses and a laptop to review DVDs entered in evidence.
The women showed no reaction to the verdicts. Golay sat with her head close to her attorney and read along as the court clerk went through the charges.
"Basically the ladies did not do very well today," Roger Jon Diamond, the attorney for Golay, said afterward.
But he said he was confident there were significant issues to raise on appeal of Golay's conviction.
Diamond said a key issue would be whether it was proper for the judge to admit a videotaped conversation between the women which was surreptitiously recorded by authorities while they were in a holding cell.
He said he felt the overall defense was harmed by the decision of Rutterschmidt's lawyer to attack Golay and suggest she was a killer.
Rutterschmidt's attorney did not comment.
Experts said the defendants made the prosecution's job easier by turning on each other, the Times reports. Attorneys for both women conceded in their closing arguments that McDavid was murdered, but each pinned the killing on the other.
Prosecutors said the women recruited their prey from among the homeless of Hollywood, invested thousands of dollars in insurance policies on them and in putting them up in apartments, then drugged them and ran them over in secluded alleys.
Both men initially appeared to have been victims of hit-and-run accidents, and police only linked the cases in late 2005 when a detective investigating one case overheard a colleague describe a very similar case.
In his closing argument, Deputy District Attorney Bobby Grace called the women "the worst of the worst."
"They didn't need this money. They weren't poor and destitute. They went out of their way to target men who had nothing," the prosecutor said.
Defense lawyers admitted the women were involved in insurance fraud but denied a murder conspiracy.
"We'll concede it's pretty sleazy what's going on here with the insurance," Diamond said in his closing. He said the idea was to insure old, sick homeless people who would die more quickly.
But prosecutors pointed out that most of the policies were for accidental death, not death due to natural causes.
By the end of the five-week trial, the women had turned on each other.

100 bucks says that Ms. Shvarts story was in part so believable, because with one glance at her, one would naturally conclude that she clearly could never get impregnated by natural means.
A similar art project, with equal or greater merit than the work of Ms. Farts:

Re: the inmate getting on the ballot
"Keith Russell Judd is serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas for making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999. He's scheduled for release in 2013."
What the hell kind of threats was he making that got him 15 years in jail?

Re: The random krap and bizarre pics thread
thought you guys might like this san diego fresh email. friends close to thehed and the marine base have told me it is not bull****, but then again, millitary ****s are pretty arrogant. either way, accurate, or sensationalized, niether would surprise me.
"Top this for a speeding ticket....Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar. One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill. The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then turned off. Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location. Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back in true USMC style: Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident.You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down. Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location. Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar. The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cursing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech. Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster. Thank you for your concern. Semper Fi."
