Why his minds change…?
PICTON, Ont. - An Ontario man on trial for killing his ex-girlfriend's mother and sister took the stand for the first time Tuesday to speak publicly about a long-time affair he said he had with the mother, Tracy Hannah. “When I was 17, me and Tracy had physical relations with each other,” he said. Brown, 20, spoke softly as the jury and relatives of the Hannah family watched him talk openly for the first time since giving a statement to police after he was arrested. He is accused of killing Tracy, 46, and her daughter, Whitney Hannah, 14. The pair was found dead inside their Ameliasburgh, Ont., home March 12, 2010 .
Brown is also charged with the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend, Shannon Hannah, now 20.
Brown said he risked losing Shannon if he had told anyone about the affair with her mother, which started on his 17th birthday and continued up until late 2009. “She probably would have left me,” he said.
Brown said he loved Shannon and described her as a person he depended on for advice and emotional support. He credited Shannon for talking him into returning to school to complete his Grade 12.
“They (my parents) weren't emotionally there for me,” he said. “Any problems I had, Shannon would help me get through it.”
Brown said his parents had exposed him to drugs and alcohol since he was 9 years old, and that at a young age he had watched his parents smoke crack cocaine. In earlier testimony Hannah had testified she had declined to attend a Belleville
“I woke up and Dean was in my room,” she said, explaining that he smelled of alcohol and was slurring his speech.
Hannah said after reaching the agreement that her mother would take Brown home, she was awaken around by her mother, requesting that she called 911 because, “Dean had just raped her.” (QMI)

How-Speeder caught by his own cellphone
What was he thinking…?
Some shots were focused on the speedometer of his car, a Bentley Continental, according to a police spokesman.
Others showed the road, revealing where he was, and the phone’s timer recorded the date and the time — just before in the morning local time last April. Police said the driver, whom they declined to name, probably took the shots to impress his friends. His licence was confiscated and he is free on bail awaiting trial. (Reuters)

Real use of brain…
Instead of going home with $75 and a plasma TV, fugitives in Chicago
In Operation C.W. Marketing, the Cook County Sheriff's Office sent 10,000 offenders wanted for a variety of reasons -- from unpaid child support, traffic offenses and violent felonies -- invitations to take part in electronics testing. The invites said that in exchange for their feedback, they would get $75 and could keep the electronic device they tested.
The invitations went to the most recent address for those on the wanted list, and while thousands were returned as undeliverable, more than 50 fugitives made appointments to take part."As the offenders pulled up to the warehouse, smiling undercover officers headed to their cars while carrying empty boxes for plasma TVs and video game systems, creating the appearance of a festive, gift-filled visit. The fugitives were then warmly welcomed by other officers wearing bright T-shirts, surrounded by signs and balloons," police said in a release.(QMI)
Neat-Drunk Dutch drivers must fit 'alcolocks' to cars
Convicted drunk drivers found in control of with blood alcohol levels over 1.3 mg/dl — more than six times the legal limit of 0.2 mg/dl — will be ordered to install alcolocks in their cars, the transport ministry said on Wednesday.
The new rules will come into effect on December 1, in time for the Christmas and New Year holidays.
The way the alcolock works is that the driver must first breathe into it to unlock the engine, and will have to repeat the same process at regular intervals during the journey.
If the mini-breathalyser, which is fitted to the dashboard, indicates a blood alcohol level above the legal limit, the engine will not turn on.( Reuters)
