The NAACP has called out District Attorney Lynne Abraham for leading the grand jury that last week declined to indict a dozen police officers for police brutality in connection with the videotaped beating of three men suspected of firing shots into a crowd in Feltonville.
"Police are looking for the driver of a gray Ford pickup who may have been involved in or witnessed the wounding of a Glendora man in a road-rage shooting Sunday night near the Walt Whitman Bridge."
That Jocelyn Kirsch. She seems to be getting up to more trouble out there in California. It appears she made a fake 911 call and got her stepfather arrested.
Another wrinkle in the federal investigation into the activities of City Councilman Jack Kelly and his staff: the estranged wife of his chief of staff is providing information to authorities in the case.
The Delaware River Port Authority plans on spending $25 million on inspections and paint jobs on its bridges between Philadelphia and South Jersey. Public meetings will probably begin in March to discuss the possibility of raising bridge tolls to pay for the work. Tolls could rise as much as $2; the alternative is to raise tolls a smaller amount each year based on inflation.
Two West Philadelphia High students were slashed during an argument on Monday, so a heavy police presence blanketed the area yesterday as students were dismissed for the day.
Don't expect a warm welcome if you barge into a Philly household with a knife and start waving it around! Somebody who tried that Tuesday night at a house on Broad Street near Wyoming Avenue ended up with a meat cleaver to the head. The cleaver was wielded by the woman of the house, who swung it at the intruder as soon as he pointed his knife away from her. Nice!

Haverford Township Commissioner Fred Moran went on trial yesterday for "his alleged attempt to extort $500,000 from the developers of the Haverford State Hospital site in exchange for granting them zoning approval." Thanks in part to the influence of Betty Thompkins, a microscopist in Albert Einstein Medical Center's pathology department and one-time U. Penn researcher, Central High School "will be the first high school in the nation to receive the Phenom, a $72,000 tabletop electron...

The Attorney General's Office has accused Former State Rep. Frank LaGrotta of giving his relatives fake jobs in order to pay them thousands in taxpayer dollars. A cheval-de-frise (an iron-tipped log that's placed in a riverbed along with many others in order to gore the hulls of enemy warships) was recently found at the bottom of the Delaware River at the Sunoco Logistics pier in South Philadelphia. It's a relic from the mid-1770s, and...

Oh, man. Did you see that Rick Santorum is writing an opinion column for the Inquirer now? Ugh. In vaguely related news, John Street's post-mayoral employment, beginning in January, will be at Temple University as a professor of urban politics and policy. Governor Rendell, who himself is an adjunct at U. Penn, encouraged Street to make the move. Officials responding to a report of a fire at a home in Upper Darby yesterday discovered...

Phillyist is not aware that Philadelphians flock in droves to Aruba, and so we're not quite sure why Councilmen Juan Ramos and Jack Kelly intend to introduce a bill today that would urge city residents to boycott Aruba.
