The L.A. Times offers us 'I'm Sorry. . . . I Didn't Mean It.' Subtitle: Juan Manuel Alvarez showed up at the front door bloody and holding a scissors blade. Blocks away, bodies lay inside mangled trains.

The first thing I thought of - well, actually the second thing after "who cares, let's just fire up Ol' Sparky" - was that some people might assume a story like this would have been planted by his defense attorney. Now, despite several indications to the contrary, the LAT does have some journalistic standards, so I'd imagine they thought this one up themselves.

What comes next? Celebrities speaking out on his behalf? Is "free-alvarez.com" still available?
