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."
