Score one for the players. Since July 1, NHL free agents continue to sign on the dotted line for massive amounts of dollars. To this end, Canuck fans must be thrilled with the recent additions of forward Ryan Johnson (two-year, $2.3 million contract), and the ever dangerous Darcy Hordichuk (two-year deal). Oh yes, let’s not forget the brilliant acquisition of ex-Leaf, Kyle Wellwood (one year contract worth just under $1 million), who should fit right in to a team on the decline. But let’s face it; the Canucks are easy to pick on.
Vancouver is not the only team that contributed to this “madness” as many other teams have been making ridiculous offers to lure new talent. I have noted some of these deals (five in each category) in my version of the good, the bad, and the ugly:
The State Attorney s Office has dropped its case against a man who reportedly beat a dog so severely with a fence post that the animal had to be put down.
The reason: Given the circumstances, Florida law allowed Ocala resident Shawn Lemarr Benson to dowhat he did.
Phantom, a 40-pound pit bull, died on Aug. 12. According to a report from Assistant State Attorney Barbara Harris, a law enforcement official spoke with the dog s owner, Phoebe Bennett. She said Benson, 46, was helping her expand a dog kennel in her backyard when Phantom snatched a cat named Puppy that was walking by the kennel.

Bail set at $75K for man facing retrial for attempted murder
Persisting, Caro asked if he could appeal the verdict. That was May 2019.
In September 2020, a three-judge panel from the 5th District Court of Appeal decided to set aside Caro s guilty verdict, and so a new trial is on the horizon.
Now the question is: Should Caro be allowed to be free while he awaits his new trial.
Last week, appearing at a hearing by phone from prison, Caro was briefly questioned by his lawyer, Michael Reiter. If granted bail, the lawyer said, what would Caro do?
Caro, 34, said he would live with his mother, stepfather and brother in Summerfield, the same residence he was staying when he was arrested. He would get a job. He promised he would appear at every hearing.
