And in real estate news, the Modesto bungalow-style home in which Laci Peterson was murdered by her (oddly handsome) husband Scott Peterson was sold again. Although the home sold in 2005 for $390,000 (right after Scott arrived at death row at San Quentin Prison), this time it only went for a meager $280,000 to an anonymous buyer. See where trying to profit off of murder gets you? A $110,000 deduction. Well, it had to...

Growl. The world's sexiest uxoricidist (and infanticidist, depending on which side of the fence you're on) is out a whole lot of cash now. It seems he's not entitled to the $250,000 life insurance policy he took out on Laci, his ex-wife/murder victim, a year before he did her in. (Honestly, is there a point to having money when you're in the clink indefinitely? Can you shop online when you're in jail?) "The Fifth...

Man, we need some extra cash to get us through the weekend. We hate it when payday is on a Saturday! Our couch doesn't have cushions to harbor change (stupid Ikea PS), and Oprah's debt diet series has made us so afraid of check-cashing places that we cross the street to avoid them. (Tangent: Anyone else ever think that Oprah could solve all our debt problems on what she probably would have spent at Hermes?)

A real estate mogul in San Jose was murdered by a psychotic ex-girlfriend in Saratoga, who then unsuccessfully attempted to kill herself. The girlfriend had previously been charged with attempting to kill another ex-boyfriend, but when he left the country, the DA dropped charges. She had also previously attacked the mogul, but he had declined to pursue criminal action at that time. The latest reports have the ex-girlfriend snapping when she found the mogul with a new girl.

Wondering what the status of the retrial of Gwen Araujo's killers was? We were, too, so we called a few people to find out.

If you’ve already done your Christmas shopping and have a little money left over that you want to give to a cause but just not sure of which, Scott Peterson's attorney Mark Geragos has a suggestion for you. Geragos has launched a Web site asking for donations in helping find the real killers of Laci Peterson. Saying that Peterson was “unjustly convicted”, Geragos’ wants donations so he can “continue to investigate the murders of Laci and Conner Peterson so that we can free the man we know is innocent.” Maybe the real killers are hanging out with the killers of Nicole Simpson in Bermuda? Maybe Geragos will use the same investigation methods that O.J. has, mainly playing lots of golf? Regardless, the site also says that it will post updates on the ongoing investigation as well as the latest on Geragos’ attempts to get the conviction overturned.

If this wasn't the most important day for democracy in forever, you know this would be the top story. So, coming in a far distant second, we bring you...
