I hope this first story goes down well with the catch-up cup of coffee:
"Ohio man charged with killing 4 in different homes" Associated Press September 05, 2014
BUCYRUS, Ohio — An Ohio man was charged with aggravated murder Thursday in the slayings of four men who were found in separate homes this week.
Donald Hoffman has been in custody since Tuesday, when authorities say he walked into the police department and provided information that led officers to two bodies. Two others had been found a day earlier.
Hoffman, 41, was jailed on a probation violation until he was charged. A judge ordered him held on $10 million bond following a recommendation from the prosecutor, who said Hoffman’s criminal record includes assault, menacing, and theft.
The slain men had been beaten, strangled, or both, the county coroner said Thursday.
More than two dozen relatives of the victims attended the hearing, some wiping tears as the judge read the charges. Most left without commenting, but a few made statements of grief, anger, or confusion about why their loved ones might have been killed.
No real confusion as to why this is a one-day wonder.
--more--"
I'll tally the votes later.
