Today's News

Today was an oddly busy news day for a Friday. A Sarah Palin, no a John McCain Rally and a press conference by Somer Thompson's mother Diena Thompson making national news. Iraq elections toping international news. Locally, a cold case heats up and the Raucci trial could be over sometime next week.

First, we begin with a press conference given by Somer Thompson's mother Diena Thompson. Somer was abducted and killed on her way home from her Florida school. News 4, Jacksonville reports:
Somer's mother, Diena Thompson, approached the same podium at Orange Park Baptist Church where the girl's funeral was held, thanked the investigators for their work and the community for its continuing prayers and support for her family.
Watch Diena's press conference here, and read more about this case here.

Then, this afternoon Sarah Palin spoke at a McCain rally. I think the best part of her speech was when she said:
Only dead fish go with the flow.

Happening locally, Vigina Gratto is said to have been forced to confessed to starting a fire in Cohoes back in 1978. WTEN had an "exclusive" interview with the brother:


News Channel 13's Beth Wurtmann also reported on the fire tonight:


Something that didn't lead the local newscasts, I watched, but is non-the-less a big story is a health care "conference" held by Scott Murphy this afternoon. Bill Lambin reports.

Also happening today, the defense rests in the Steve Raucci trial, and the final police chief interviews were held yesterday. Capital News 9 appears to be the only loal station covering these interviews.

And, Andrew Catalon broke this story last night; in it he says that:
Penn State and BYU will meet at Times Union Center on December 18th.

Finaly, a dog ate a cop car today, there's only one place in New York state you can drive under the Erie Canal, and Nancy Pelosi turned 70.
