Creep Creates Super Hero
=================================
A man was sentenced to 120 years in prison Monday -the maximum -for a sex
attack that left a 9 -year-old child known as Girl X blind, mute and crippled.
"I do not believe that even this sentence is enough for the acts of this
defendant, but the law limits the sentence that I can impose," Judge Joseph Urso told
Patrick Sykes, a 29 -year-old convicted sex offender.
Prosecutors said that in 1997, Sykes lured a girl into an apartment at the
crime-ridden Cabrini-Green housing project, sexually assaulted her, poured roach
spray down her throat, beat her and left her for dead in a dirty stairwell. The
girl became known in the Chicago media as Girl X.
Firework Explodes in Boy's Mouth.
=================================
A 12-year-old boy was injured Saturday night when a firework exploded in his
mouth.
Zeus Hates Man Playing Football
=================================
A bolt of lightning came out of a blue sky Saturday, striking two beachgoers
who were tossing around a football. One of the young men was killed in what
meteorologists said was a rare but not unprecedented weather event.
Genuis Thief
=================================
A Doylestown man claims a thief -- wearing medical scrubs with a stethoscope in
his pocket -- made off with his motorcycle valued at $13,000 yesterday morning
after posing as a doctor at Akron General Medical Center.
Seeling told the Beacon Journal he had gone to the hospital after a man
answered his newspaper advertisement, claimed he was a doctor and asked Seeling to
meet him yesterday morning in the hospital parking lot to look at the motorcycle.
``We made agreements, and he started the bike, and said he would take it around
the block and test drive it. Well, he didn't come back,'' Seeling said
yesterday afternoon.
