Grand Rapids, MI - Four teenage girls face charges that they allegedly sold a 14-year-old acquaintance to four men for $80. The four girls range in age from 15 to 17. Three of them attended school with the victim. They're facing possible life in prison if convicted. Police Detective Karl Holzhueter said he was "shocked" by the crime. In his words - "You look at these girls, the suspects, and they are all so young looking. It just doesn't seem possible that they could have done this." The suspects allegedly picked up the victim at her home Sept. 29th and told her they'd received letters from a friend in jail who claimed the girl owed a drug debt. They threatened to beat her unless she sold her body to work off the debt.

TAIPAI, Taiwan - The seventh time was the charm for a woman in Taiwan who finally succeeded in killing her husband by burning him alive. Earlier failed attempts include a stabbing, a poisoning and a bogus car crash. Liao Je-hung told a Taiwan court she set out to kill her husband, Lin Jung-lo, because of his womanizing and miserliness. She then told them with this final attempt she hired a hit man that got her husband drunk, took him to the river and set him ablaze. Both she and the killer she hired have been jailed for life for the murder. The other failed killers were jailed for up to 18 years.

A University of Idaho freshman suffered fractured vertebrae, abrasions and severely bruised buttocks when the dormitory window that he was mooning a group of friends through shattered. The young man and his parents sued the school for $470,000 per cheek.

30,000 FT. ABOVE SEATTLE - Someone at USAirways is getting sacked over this one. Two women flying from Philadelphia to Seattle managed to get their 200 pound hog through Philadelphia International Airport and onto the first-class section of their flight. How did they manage this? By flashing a doctor's note to convince the ground crew that their 200 pound hog was a service animal [kind of like a seeing-eye pig]. "You can't believe how that dang pig squealed," commented one passenger. As the plane approached Seattle the pig charged through the aisles and attempted to break into the cockpit, according to a USAirways report. The FAA is focusing on whether the pig was a flight safety hazard.
