Swindler Romano Tied to Car Bills in Prosecutor Plot
Joseph Romano, once rich from swindling, owned a 1957 Chevy, a 1968 Camaro, and a 1967 Impala. He is charged in a failed scheme to mutilate and kill a prosecutor and a judge. Federal prosecutors say he tried to hire someone to assault Long Island mechanic Nicholas Pittas after a Camaro was seized. Undercover agents staged a photo to imply Pittas was beaten. Pittas testified about the sting and car mechanics this week.

President Yoweri Museveni opposes a bill proposing life imprisonment for gays, calling gays abnormal and suggesting rehabilitation. He sent a letter to Parliament speaker Rebecca Kadaga asking for revisions, a move noted as lawmakers had passed the measure in December.
