In February, at the trial of for-
mer office manager Carol
Reinbold, charged with misuse of
more than $600,000, an accountant
testified thar Reinbold told him that
she took the money and spent much
of if on clothes. However, the
accountant said she did that only to
sell them in order to make money
to lend to her former husband, who
needed money to preserve the safe-
ty of his girlfriend — the wife of a
lieutenant of Gen. Manucl Noriega.

A jury in San Mateo, California,
was unable to reach a verdict in
February in the case of Dr. Eric
Southwood, 66, on trial for sexual
battery for fondling the breasts of
several female patients. His lawyer

told the court that Southwood sim-
ply tacks an appropriate bedside
manner and is overly concerned
with potential breast cancers.
According to the arresting officer,
Southwood said the women were
attractive and that he just “likes
breasts.”

Timothy Sprous, 18, was arrest-
ed in Cedar Rapids, lowa, in May
and charged with vandalism for
painting graffiti on cars. Sprous had
nat used spray paint but rather ordi-
nary cans of brush-on paint, and
consequently, police were able to
follow a trail of paint drippings
from a car to the front door of a
house on Second Avenue, down the
stairs, and into a storage closet,
where they found the paint-speck-
led Sprous hiding.
