Rapper The Game Could Do Hard Time Over A... Tweet


According to TMZ, The Game allegedly sent a tweet out to his over more than 1/2 a million followers with a phone number to call for an internship to work for him but the phone number was to the Compton, California police station. This caused major havoc.

Now the criminal charges come in because by doing this alleged stunt, according to the Compton poe poes, he caused their phone lines to be overwhelmed with calls compromising public safely.

After finding out it was The Game's twitter account causing the frenzy, the Sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker tweeted:
@TheGame U Tweeted phone# of #LASD #Compton Sheriff & said 2 call 4 internship when there is none. Lg.vol.calls R compromising publicsafety

Then a few minutes later tweeted:
@TheGame Plz delete Tweet off UR wall of phone# that begins with 310: #LASD #Compton #Sheriff This is compromising public safety. Hi # calls

The Game replied with this tweet:
Yall can track a tweet down but cant solve murders! Dat was an accident but maybe now yall can actually do yall job!!!! #iSpeak4ThePeople

The tweet with the phone number was later deleted. The Game claims he got hacked and didn't do it. Hmm hmm.

We want to know, what happened with that internship? Was the real info given out? Was there an intership at all? Is it still on and poppin? What's the game, Game?

Software Malfunction in Casey Anthony Trial

According to The New York Times, John Bradley who designed CacheBack software, which is used by police to check computer searches and was used to search Casey Anthony's computer to see how many times the word "chloroform" was google searched, testified in trial saying the word was searched 84 times. Bradley later said his intitial findings were incorrect and that "chloroform" was only searched once.

The New York Times also reports that according to John, in searching for the word "chloroform,"the google search led to the site, sci-spot.com, which is a site that offers info on the use of chloroform in the 1800s and this is the one finding he is referring to.

Bradley feared the jurors did not have the most up to date accurate data based on his new findings, so he contacted the police and the prosecution the weekend of June 25th. He asked Sergeant Stenger (the computer forensics expert) about the issue, and Stenger said he knew about it. Bradley then waited to see if prosecutors would correct the record. They never did and to that Bradley said, “They needed to get that right."

Curious, why was the word searched at all?

By the way, the Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Anthony's defense has billed the state of Florida $147,018 so far. This implies there is more bills to come. I hope this state is still feeling the sunshine!
