Here's what's happening out there today:
O.J. Simpson goes down, sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison, with a possibility of parole in five years, for his role in a botched Las Vegas robbery. Searching for his ex-wife's killer will make his time in the hoosegow fly by.
A team charged with intercepting smugglers at our local ports have recovered 140 pounds of cocaine, 50 weapons and $25 million worth of counterfeit in just five weeks.
Barbie wins: The mother of all girl fights ended late Wednesday when a federal court judge banned MGA Entertainment Inc. from manufacturing the popular Brats dolls, ending a four-year legal dispute with El Segundo-based Mattel, which alleged the dolls' designer developed the concept while employed at the South Bay company, where Barbie is queen.
But Mattel shouldn't get too excited: It joins other toy makers in a settlement deal, under which they pay $1.8 million over allegation of lead in their toys.
Now in its 25th year, Torrance Memorial's annual Christmas Festival fundraiser is expected to bring in $500,000, thanks to longtime volunteers like two Torrance women who have helped decorate the auctioned-off Christmas trees for more than 20 years now.
Mira Costa High School faces off tonight against Palmdale in the C.I.F. Southern Section semifinal. Check out pictures of the team here.
Get into the holiday spirit by scanning pics of Hermosa Beach's tree lighting last night.
