The Kiwanis speaker, or speakers, were not all that interesting, at least not to me, they were talking about Medicare and Medicaid which are health care programmes for seniors, people - or at least Americans - over 65.
I was going to say that no sooner does one trial finish than another one starts, but actually they haven't really finished with the last one. The tv channels are still interviewing key people in the case of the neighbourhood watchman, and teenage victim. I was actually watching the Food Network, and just caught them while I was channel hopping in the adverts, which come on every 90 seconds.
The current big trial started on June 12, a crime boss who was on the FBI's Most Wanted List for the last 16 years, wanted for the murder of 19 people, as well as all the other things these people get up to, extortion, money laundering, drugs trafficking, torture, etc. The case really appeared in the news today because the body of a leading witness, who was going to testify against him, was found by a jogger. We are not told yet how he died, toxicology reports take several weeks, but it is said to be suspicious. On the other hand he might have had heat stroke.
I don't think we are seeing the trial on television because the state it is in doesn't allow tv cameras in the court room. Shame.
It has been hot again today.
