By Mitch Blacher · Monday, Oct. 20,2003 1:15 a.m.

Monroe County is about to have its "Trial of the Century," says county councilman Scott Wells. Friday's pre-trial hearing brought favorable results for Wells when Special Prosecutor Stan Levco did not file the expected felony battery charge against Wells, opting instead for a misdemeanor. Levco also dropped a seat belt violation charge and a misdemeanor for public intoxication. Wells now faces charges of misdemeanor battery, operating while intoxicated, resisting law enforcement and disorderly conduct.

It's hard for me to form a coherent sentence right now. Hell, it's hard for me to form an incoherent one. But I must labor on. For the umpthousandth time in my life, the Cubs have ripped my heart out of my chest and said, "Whoops, didn't know you'd be needing that." If there is anything positive to be taken out of this experience, it is this: at least we know who the true Cubs fans are now.
