SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) A man who took authorities by surprise when he came forward and admitted killing a woman he met in a bar 19 years ago was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years to life in prison.

Authorities had no idea Louis Bostich killed Jamie Vitteli in 1987 until he turned himself in last year. He eventually pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

He confessed while taking part in an Alcoholics Anonymous program in which he was encouraged to right his wrongs and make amends.

That's funny, ZT :-)

Sliding a bit off topic, that reminded me of something that happened with Apple recently. 

5 of their retail employees illegally downloaded a developer preview of Leopard

The super-novelty-stupid part about it is that after they were fired, one of the former employees actually blamed Apple and claimed that they were fired for 'having character' and admitting that they violated their NDA and ethics policy. Actually, he said

"My only question is, if we all lied and denied it would we still be working at Apple today? Even more so, is that the kind of person that Apple wants working for them?"

I love the logic. You do something you know is illegal, you cop to it (for whatever reason) and then you think you should get absolution for your honesty. Moreover, Apple should want someone who's honest (like you) to work for them.

Well look on the bright side... he'll be sober! I think anal rape is a small price to pay for such a precious commodity.


Maybe we should just get all the killers of the world addicted to something and then put them in a 12 step program.

Some of them seem to already be addicted to killing. There's a good program, Killers Anonymous.
