SFist Blotter

Well, the top blotter news this week has been, of course, the murder of Pamela Vitale, the wife of Susan Polk's attorney, Daniel Horowitz. Polk, the Orinda woman who's accused of murdering her psychiatrist husband, is back in custody after the judge declared a mistrial in her case because of all the publicity about her attorney's wife. No shortage of conspiracy theories going around -- was it him? A disgruntled client? The weird neighbor? Despite what Phil Bronstein said yesterday, no arrests have been made as of yet.

Cybersquatters, you just missed your chance -- in all the hoopla of opening the new San Jose city hall, the SJ IT department accidentally forgot to renew their registration on the sanjoseca.gov website. They hastily paid the $125 and the site's back in business. They're looking into whether they can just pay for a multi-year registration so it doesn't happen again -- "we are, after all, the capital of Silicon Valley."

And the Oakland Tribune profiles wacky Ecstasy users at the San Francisco club Mighty. One guy has been obsessively logging every single hit of E he takes (he's up to 38.5 rolls, starting from Aug. 13, 2004 -- DEA, take note). Another raver, who's a banker in her day job (and came to Mighty dressed up as an anime character), is described as a "long-time user" and says "most folks grow out of it." We hope she didn't give the reporter her actual name.
