GPS The Best Gift for a Morgan City Man
A Morgan City man is grateful today his cell phone had GPS
capability, as state troopers and St. Martin Parish authorities used
it to find him. 29-year-old Charles Lodrigue called his mom this
weekend, to say he'd run his car into a utility pole and was
injured--and lost in the woods. State police worked with AT&T for 7
hours to track him down--500 yards from the road, in a creek bed.

Federal Prosecutors Want to Start Outgoing Congressman Jefferson's Trial
In a brief filed this week, federal prosecutors are asking a
Virginia appeals court to permit no further delays in starting
Congressman Bill Jefferson's bribery trial. Jefferson's lawyers are
asking the U.S. Supreme Court to throw out 14 of the 16 counts.
Loyola law professor Dane Ciolino says Jefferson's re-election loss
shouldn't affect this. Ciolino says he doubts we've seen the end of delaying tactics by
Jefferson's attorney.
