I just found out a friend of mine in early grade school / kindergarten brutally murdered someone with a machete near the church I used to go to in Worcester. Last I knew he had moved to Colorado, where it snowed.

MISTRIAL IN MAKINEN MURDER TRIAL

A couple thoughts:

* I would have appreciated it more if they had titled it ‘MISTRIAL IN MAKINEN MURDER MYSTERY’ ; there’s no fun in the news these days. To be fair, there wasn’t much of a mystery, pretty much just an open and shut case of brutal and obvious murder.

* Of all the childhood friends and weird people from rural Hardwick, he wasn’t the person I would have pegged for a random psychotic brutal stabbing murder. Maybe not the last….

* Still less famous than this guy, and many others. Damn.
