Some stories best read with your morning coffee:
- Amanda Knox, don’t go back to Italy! Maybe. Today, the world awaits the verdict in the retrial of the 26-year-old who spent four years in prison for the murder of her British housemate. Knox was acquitted in 2011, then the Italian supreme court overruled that ruling in 2013. It’s a whole lot of drama that I can’t get in to here.
- That petition to deport young Canadian singing sensation Justin Bieber? It has passed the 100,000 signature mark, which means it is headed to President Obama’s desk. Look out, Biebs!
- Bob Uecker, who’s been doing radio broadcasts for the Milwaukee Brewers since 1971, is cutting back his workload. Oh, but yes. Learn more here.
- Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll! We’re mere days the Super Bowl, and New York City police have already made arrests for so-called “party packs” of sex and cocaine sold to “high-end clients” in connection with this Sunday’s football game.
- And you’ll never know what you’ll find in a McDonald’s Happy Meal. A McD’s employee in Pittsburgh was arrested for selling Happy Meals packed with an extra ingredient — heroin.
