PROFILE

In my seven years at the Daily News, I've bounced from covering the toy industry to crime to just about everything in between, at least for a day or two. Now, I'm going to try to learn about the next part of the legal system: courts and the justice system. Since my prior experience is limited to one trial, a few bankruptcy stories and serving on jury duty twice, we'll see how things go. Come check in from time to time and tell me how I'm doing.

Gracias for your help and enjoy your trip.

Jailhouse rock helps man get 29 to life in deputy killing

Justin Ashley Flint will be spending the next few decades in custody of the state for his role in the shooting death of off-duty sheriff's deputy Maria Cecilia Rosa.

Here's the best, and stupidest detail:

Jurors heard videotapes and listened to audiotapes of Flint in jail -- with him singing "I Shot The Sheriff" and wondering aloud why "the bitch" didn't "give up" the wallet.

Now I'm a Bob Marley fan, as well, but that was not a wise choice of songs, Justin. But you'll have plenty of time to think that one over in coming years....
