Jared Fogle getting called 'chomo' and gaining 30 lbs since being in prison is pretty good stuff.

That dude gave it to a cop who kept it until recently. They are testing for DNA, but not sure what good that will do since the dude kept it for like 15 years before saying anything.
Closure would be my guess, since double jeopardy applies here.

This is some Final Destination shit right here

Victoria McGrath, Boston Marathon Bombing Survivor, Killed in Dubai Car Crash
by KERRY SANDERS and CORKY SIEMASZKO

A college student who was badly wounded during the Boston Marathon bombing — and whose gutsy determination to get better inspired other survivors — was killed along with a classmate in car crash in the United Arab Emirates.

The deaths of bombing survivor Victoria McGrath and fellow student Priscilla Perez Torres were confirmed Monday by McGrath's mother and Northeastern University in Boston.

"We are stunned, shocked and heartbroken," Jill McGrath wrote in an email to NBC News.

In its statement, Northeastern extended condolences to the families of the two women, both of whom were were supposed to graduate this year, but gave no details about the deadly accident.

"Victoria and Priscilla were vibrant, beloved members of our community, and their passing leaves a grievous absence in our community and in our hearts," the university said. "Each were kind, talented young women, with exceptional futures before them."

McGrath, who hailed from Weston, Connecticut, became an iconic symbol of the tragedy when a photo of the young student being carried to safety by a Boston firefighter rocketed around the world.

The then 20-year-old McGrath was standing five feet away from where the first bomb exploded on April 15, 2013 at the finish line. An inch-long piece of shrapnel pierced one of her legs and sent her sprawling on the pavement, screaming in pain.

McGrath suffered nerve damage to her left leg and spent weeks recovering at Tufts Medical Center. Later, she was reunited with firefighter Jimmy Plourde and the three other strangers who helped saved her life.

"I'm so thankful," a tearful McGrath said from her room at Tufts Medical Center in a segment that aired on TODAY. "You guys are so brave."

Torres was from Guaynabo, Puerto RIco and was "passionate about travel and working on issues related to nutrition and women's health," the university said. "Victoria and Priscilla touched many of our lives, and we will miss them terribly."

Is the quasi immunity of cabinet members common? I presume Brazil has a continental style judiciary as well, but I'm not sure how that contributes.
