    Divorced husband, 66, 'stabbed his teacher ex-wife 84 times before placing a pig mask over her face' but claims he doesn't remember the brutal killing
    By: Louis Boyle

    An ex-husband who allegedly stabbed his former wife 84 times before putting a pig mask on her face told police he could not remember the savage attack. Anthony Novellino, 66, from Denville, New Jersey, was in court on Thursday for a hearing ahead of his murder trial. Two recorded interviews with Novellino were played to the Morristown court, the first time details of the grisly killing have been made public. Novellino is accused of stabbing to death his ex-wife Judith, 62, after she returned to their home to collect belongings, 11 days after their divorce in June 2010. On the tapes, Novellino can be heard saying he only remembers 'twice cutting her with the knife' and had 'no intention at all' of hurting her, according to NJ.com.

    The 66-year-old suspect repeats these claims during the five hours he was interviewed by police. He also admitted that he had not wanted a divorce and blamed the separation on his wife's sister. The suspect claims that it was his ex-wife who pulled a knife on him in the upstairs bathroom of their home on June 19, 2010 during an argument - but said he did not remember subsequently stabbing her dozens of times. Novellino told police: 'I didn’t do what you said I did. I don’t know who would do that because I was the only one there.'

    He added: 'In 15 seconds, everything happens. Your whole life changes in 15 seconds', according to NJ.com. Novellino claims that when he left the bathroom, he noticed a pig mask in a messy closet and 'picked it up and threw it in (the bathroom)'. He was asked why he did not try to revive his wife or call 911. Novellino said he was 'nervous'. Mrs Novellino, who has a daughter Christina and son Anthony, was found dead by a family member at the couple's detached suburban home. Novellino, who went on the run in Washington state following his ex-wife's murder, said he had not planned to ? the high school teacher. He was captured following a five-day manhunt.

    Judith Novellino was a teacher and librarian at Morris Catholic High School.

    The pretrial hearing is due to begin again on Monday.

    ​Woman Allegedly Assaulted for Taking Too Long at Redbox Kiosk


    By: Lacey Donohue

    Taking too long to choose a movie at a Redbox? Thatz not okay.

    But chest-bumping a woman and then pinning her up against a Redbox machine for taking too long to choose a movie? Also not okay.

    According to ABC News, an unknown "bloated" man in his 40's or 50's is accused of assaulting a 26-year-old woman Saturday night at a Redbox kiosk in a Massachusetts Stop & Shop. The woman was "taking a long time," according to the Sgt. Denis Sheehan of the East Longmeadow Police Department. "There were a number of people in line waiting to rent a movie," Sheehan told ABC News.

    At some point, a "heated argument broke out" and "there were some words exchanged and the suspect allegedly chest-bumped her." Sheehan also said the victim told him that the movie-loving man "used his forearm to press her upper chest and throat areas, and that he also pinned her up against the Redbox machine."

    Images of the suspect were captured from the store surveillance camera and within 90 minutes of releasing the images to the local media, police received a call from someone who knew the suspect. The suspect, who could be facing assault and battery charges, has not been formally charged or arraigned.

    No pics of the female were made available at post time.

    Pizza Hut GM Fired for Refusing to Make Employees Work on Thanksgiving
    By: Neetzan Zimmerman

    With many stores staying open during Thanksgiving this year thereby forcing workers to miss out on spending the holiday with their families, one store manager decided to take a stand on behalf of his employees — and was promptly terminated. Tony Rohr had held various position at the Pizza Hut in Elkhart, Indiana, since starting out as a cook there some ten years ago.

    He was eventually promoted to general manager of the franchise, but his decision to refuse an order to open the store on Thanksgiving ultimately cost him the job. "I said why can't we be the company that stands up and says we care about our employees and they can have the day off," he told local CBS affiliate WSBT.

    According to Rohr, the store, owned by the franchise behemoth Franchise Management Investors US, has typically been closed on Thanksgiving to give employees time off to spend with loves ones. When he was told to either open the store or sign a letter of resignation, Rohr opted for a third option: Sending his bosses a letter of protest.

    "I am not quitting. I do not resign however I accept that the refusal to comply with this greedy, immoral request means the end of my tenure with this company," Rohr wrote in his letter. "I hope you realize that it's the people at the bottom of the totem pole that make your life possible."

    WSBT says the franchisee's director of operations insists Rohr quit, but also acknowledged that the decision to keep doors open on Thanksgiving came from corporate in response to other companies doing the same.

    Pizza Hut's corporate offices have so far remained mum on the matter, but its Facebook page has been inundated with angry posts from customers unhappy with Rohr's termination.

    Meanwhile at UPS Oklahoma... Driver Has Sex with ? in Truck, ? Posts Photos Online
    By: Neetzan Zimmerman

    A UPS driver who decided to spend his lunch break having sex with a prostitute in the back of his delivery truck will probably regret his decision — once the company tracks him down, that is.

    Photos of the afternoon delight surfaced online this week after they were uploaded to the ? Client Community Information Exchange by the ? herself as part of a promotion for her members-only website.

    "Look at my naughty time from yesterday," wrote the woman, who identified herself as "happiness consultant" Mary Ann.

    JohnTV.com, a website devoted to "exposing prostitution" in Oklahoma City, says it believes it has identified the woman behind the special delivery as one Tiffany Fay Hawkins, a local prostitute better known by her stage name, Tiffany ? .

    "She was touting much more explicit photos of this encounter on a version of her web site that is locked away and it's only for members," JohnTV founder Brian Bates (real name) told News On 6.

    A UPS rep who spoke with the news station said the incident would be "fully investigated" and the driver will likely be terminated.

    Incidentally, in her online profile, ? says she's a "sweet & sassy Okie MILF" who is "very easy going" and "discreet."

    High School Student Sets Teacher on Fire During Class

    By: Neetzan Zimmerman

    Authorities in Tennessee say a 15-year-old high school student set his teacher's hair and clothes on fire during class earlier this week.

    Gabriela Peñalba, a science teacher at West High School in Knoxville, reportedly had her back to the classroom when the teen snuck up behind her and ignited her hair and shirt with a lighter.

    Students rushed to the 23-year-old teacher's aid, helping her extinguish the blaze.

    Exploiting the commotion, the student tossed the lighter out of a nearby window and fled, but was soon caught by school resource officers.

    The unidentified suspect reportedly confessed to the crime in a police interview, but his motive remains unclear.

    He was subsequently charged with aggravated assault and evading arrest and transported to a juvenile detention facility.

    Luckily, Peñalba did not suffer serious burns — a result credited to the quick response of her students.

    ​Man Shoots, Kills Wandering Man With Advanced Alzheimer's



    By: LACEY DONOHUE

    A 34-year-old man shot and killed a 72-year-old man he thought was a prowler on Wednesday in Walker County, Ga. But instead of shooting a prowler, Joe Hendrix shot Ronald Westbrook, an elderly man with advanced Alzheimer's disease.

    According to Sheriff Steve Wilson, at the time of the shooting, Westbrook had been wandering lost and confused for over four hours, wearing only a light jacket in sub-freezing temperatures and walking his two dogs. At around 2:30 a.m., Westbrook was stopped by a sheriff's deputy as he stood in front of a mailbox; he told the deputy he was just checking his mail and that he lived up the hill. In fact, Westbrook had lived at the home years before.

    The sheriff left and at 4:00 a.m., Westbrook rang the doorbell and tried to open the front door of a nearby home. Hendrix, who had just moved into the home two weeks before, woke up to the noise and his fiancé called 911 to report the disturbance. She spoke with the dispatcher for around 10 minutes but before help arrived, Hendrix went outside with a .40 caliber handgun and saw the elderly man's silhouette outside the house. Hendrix gave Westbrook a command to stop moving and when he did not, Hendrix fired four shots, killing the elderly man with fatal shot in the chest.

    When Westbrook was killed, he was still holding the mail he had retrieved from the other home.

    No charges have been filed against Hendrix and according to Wilson, Hendrix is "saddened and heartbroken" and will have to "live with his actions for the rest of his life."

    Westbrook's family did not know he was missing until around the time the shooting occurred.

    Disabled Patients Say Doctors Are Denying Them ? Transplants


    By: Gabrielle Bluestone

    Five-month old Maverick Higgs was born with a severe heart defect, and two surgeries later was still in heart failure. He needed a heart transplant, and fast. But after initially saying he was a candidate, the child's New York-Presbyterian doctors decided there was nothing more they could do to help. They said Maverick had six months to live. The official reason given for denying Maverick the transplant was because he suffered from Coffin-Siris, a rare genetic defect that the doctors said would put him at risk for infection and tumors. They provided Maverick's parents with a study on the defect.

    But when Maverick's mother, Autumn, contacted the study's author, she discovered that there was no evidence to support the theory that children with Coffin-Siris had compromised immune systems. She was confused, but excited. But when she told the doctors, they still refused to go forward with a transplant to save Maverick's life. And Maverick's mother figured out the most likely reason why was because the genetic defect did have some documented effects — namely developmental disabilities.

    This weekend, CNN published a great, in-depth look at ? transplants and the vague, shrouded methods that doctors use to decide who gets a transplant and who doesn't. In the past, physicians were straightforward about denying transplants to disabled patients — "We do not feel that patients with Down syndrome are appropriate candidates for heart-lung transplantations," one doctor explained, denying a child a transplant in 1995. But now, in an effort to avoid public outrage, some doctors manufacture other excuses.

    Maverick's parents applied to four different hospitals, three of which turned her down, citing the Coffin-Siris defect or, in one case, "the big picture." But CNN talked to six different Coffin-Siris experts, all of whom confirmed that the defect was not a valid reason to deny a transplant.
    "I've never seen a child with Coffin-Siris who was immune compromised," said Dr. John Carey, a pediatrician and geneticist at the University of Utah School of Medicine who has been studying the genetic syndrome for 36 years. "I don't think it's a valid reason to deny a transplant."

    "(Coffin-Siris) is not a reason to say no to a transplant," said Dr. Grange Coffin, who first identified the syndrome in 1970, along with his colleague at the University of California, Dr. Evelyn Siris. "I would say it's wrong to do so."

    "We absolutely know this happens. It's a huge problem," David Magnus, the director of the Center for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford University told CNN. "It's real people sitting in a room making these tough decisions, and it's not surprising their own prejudices and biases influence them." Magnus said he conducted a study that showed despite making no medical difference, more than four in ten doctors considered neurodevelopmental delays in transplant decisions.

    And while the ratio of available organs to in-need patients makes it inevitable that some patients will die waiting, CNN has documented a trend of developmentally-challenged patients who were given multiple excuses for why they couldn't qualify. Maverick finally got lucky — after being turned down by New York-Presbyterian, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Cleveland Clinic — Boston Children's Hospital agreed to take him on and consider him for a transplant.

    Within three weeks, the doctors had adjusted his medication enough that his blood pressure went down, his blood-oxygen levels rose, he had more energy, he gained weight. The baby that once had six months to live didn't need a transplant anymore and was almost ready to go home.

    But should Maverick ever need a transplant, the Boston doctors told his parents, they wouldn't let the Coffin-Siris affect their decision. He would be a candidate.

    ​Woman Fired After Calling Cops on Mom Drinking and Breastfeeding

    By: Lacey Donohue

    A server at Gusano's Pizzeria in Conway, Ark. says she was fired after calling the police on a woman drinking alcohol and breastfeeding her child at the same time. She's now demanding answers from her former employer.

    Jackie Conners said she watched Tasha Adams, 28, consume "drink after drink" last Wednesday and finally called the police. Conners told KARK 4, "Me being a mom, and just seeing something like that and seeing a baby that can't speak for itself having a parent do something like that is just unacceptable."

    Adams was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a minor and the 7-month-old child was released to family members. According to the Daily Mail, Adams believes the incident was "blown out of proportion" and wants people to know she's "really a normal person."

    Several days after the incident, Conners says she was fired for "taking the situation into her own hands." However, a manager at Gusano's said the call to police was "not the reason" she lost her job.

    Italian Woman Visiting UK Forcibly Sedated, Given C-Section

    By: Doug Barry

    A really ugly legal battle is about to get underway in the UK, where an Italian national who came to Britain last July on a work-related trip had her infant forcibly removed by caesarean section after social services determined she suffered a mental breakdown and didn't have the capacity to care for the child.

    The whole saga — which began back in 2012 — is laid out in a vivid Sunday Telegraph column, detailing the Italian woman's descent into a strange legal labyrinth in a foreign country. Last summer, social services in Essex obtained a High Court order against the woman that allowed her to be forcibly sedated and her child (now 15 months old) taken out of her ? . According to the Telegraph's Colin Freeman, the council said at the time that it was acting in the child's best interests — the woman, who apparently had a preexisting bipolar condition, had suffered a mental breakdown during her two-week work trip in the UK.

    The woman's daughter is still in the care of social services, though the woman claims she's made a full recovery. What began as an example of the power British social services can wield in an extreme situation has quickly turned into an international issue, with lawyers for the woman describing her forced C-section as "unprecedented."

    From the report:

    They [the woman's lawyers] claim that even if the council had been acting in the woman's best interests, officials should have consulted her family beforehand and also involved Italian social services, who would be better-placed to look after the child.

    Brendan Fleming, the woman's British lawyer, told The Sunday Telegraph: "I have never heard of anything like this in all my 40 years in the job.

    "I can understand if someone is very ill that they may not be able to consent to a medical procedure, but a forced caesarean is unprecedented.

    "If there were concerns about the care of this child by an Italian mother, then the better plan would have been for the authorities here to have notified social services in Italy and for the child to have been taken back there."


    The woman, who has not been named for legal reasons, came to Britain last July to attend a training course with an airline at Essex's Stansted Airport. She then suffered a panic attack, whereupon she called police, who became concerned for her well-being and took her to a hospital that she soon realized was a psychiatric facility (the woman's family believes that her panic attack was caused by her failure to take medication for her bipolar condition). The woman has told her lawyers that when she expressed a desire to return to her hotel, she was restrained and sanctioned under the Mental Health Act.

    Essex social services obtained the High Court order in August for the woman's birth to "to be enforced by way of caesarean section." During the intervening five weeks between when she was placed in the psychiatric and when she was forcibly sedated prior to the C-section, the woman claims she was kept oblivious about the legal proceedings surrounding her pregnancy.

    Americans Don't Trust Each Other Anymore

    By: MAX RIVLIN-NADLER

    A new poll shows that Americans feel that only one-third of other Americans can be trusted, down from fifty percent in 1972.

    The poll, which was done by the Associated Press, contrasts the downward spiral in trust with crime rates, which have plunged in the last few decades. While crime has dropped, Americans have become even less trusting even as the country becomes safer.

    "People who believe the world is a good place and it's going to get better and you can help make it better, they will be trusting," University of Maryland Eric Uslaner told the AP. "If you believe it's dark and driven by outside forces you can't control, you will be a mistruster."

    Social scientists have blamed 24-hour cable news (and not gossip websites) with part of the decline in trustworthiness, highlighting crime even when less is being committed.

    But who is the Associated Press? Are they Americans? Because if so, I don't trust them. Not one bit. Everyone's out to rob and scam ya, is what I say. Can't even trust your brother in this country. Buncha cheats and lowlifes, all of them.

    Manager fired after preparing food while barefoot and sweating at an Iowa fast food restaurant

    By ALEX GREIG

    The manager of an Iowa fast food restaurant has lost her job after a customer posted pictures of the woman making food in the kitchen barefoot and sweating. The Des Moines Register reports that 31-year-old Melinda Halvorsen was fired from the Taco John's restaurant in Charles City in August after Danielle Tiesmessen posted the picture to Facebook. Tiesmessen says she was in Charles City Taco John's when she saw Halvorsen enter the food preparation area with no shoes, gloves or uniform.

    'This is in Charles City Iowa Taco John’s!! This woman was preparing food with bare feet, no uniform, her bra and chest hanging out all over the place, she was pouring sweat, wiping it off with her hands and not washing them. 'I asked for the manager — she WAS the manager!! She was extremely rude because I was upset with her appearance and behavior,' Tiesmessen posted along with the picture.

    According to the Des Moines Register, Halvorsen, a team leader who was employed at the restaurant for five years, had mowed the grass outside the franchise prior to entering the restaurant. She was apparently preparing food for herself and some friends when Tiesmessen spotted her. After the franchise owner Linda Johnson reviewed security footage of the incident, Halvorsen was fired for her conduct, which violated company policy as well as state health regulations.

    She also failed to pay for the food she prepared for herself and her friends. Halvorsen recently lost her appeal to collect unemployment benefits because officials ruled she violated health codes and hurt the restaurant's business.

    Taco John's is a fast food restaurant chain that serves Mexican inspired food (what the company has trademarked as 'West-Mex') in 25 states around the central and north central section of the United States. Franchisee Johnson says business has declined more than 25 per cent since the August 8 incident and that her franchise agreement with Taco John's could be in jeopardy because of Halvorsen's conduct.

    Tiesmessen's photo quickly went viral around the Midwest, garnering media attention and more than 1,000 negative comments about Taco John's.

    The picture appears to have been removed from the Taco John's site where it was initially posted.

    Behold Eataly Chicago's Shiny New Nutella Bar
    Tuesday, November 26, 2013, by Hillary Dixler

    Get ready, Chicago, because Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich's 63,000-square-foot Eataly Chicago is opening its doors to the public on Monday, December 2. Eater Chicago gets a look inside and finds the much-anticipated Nutella bar stocked and staffed. As previously reported, the Nutella bar is a stand-up bar where customers can order various "little snacks" with hazelnut spread like crepes and toast. The Nutella bar is not the only major difference between the Chicago Eataly and Eataly in NYC. Eataly Chicago has an open layout and is 30% larger than its NYC counterpart. Eataly Chicago will also be home to Baffo, a separate 65-seat white tablecloth restaurant with a menu of fresh pastas, salumi, and more designed by Batali. Baffo is slated to open on December 10.
