SUSPECT SPOTTED: Awot Gebreyesus, 17, matched the description of a murder suspect, so police in DeKalb, Ga., arrested him. The clincher: Gebreyesus' shirt was spattered with red droplets. He sat in jail for five months while the state crime lab analyzed the spatters even though three people testified that Gebreyesus was with them at the time of the murder. "I'm basing my sole case on the DNA on the shirt," Detective J.P. Hughes testified at a hearing. The results finally came in: the red spots were paint, not blood. Gebreyesus was released, and the police have no other suspects in the case. (Atlanta Journal- Constitution) ...Don't fret, guys: maybe you can pin a graffiti rap on him.
