The Florida Supreme Court affirmed a manslaughter conviction for Edward Wadsworth despite a district court reversal. The court ruled the testimony by liquor store clerk Louis Laken about prior vodka purchases was admissible as corroborating evidence of intoxication at the time of the crash that killed Helen Ryan in January 1765.

Legal Fight Over Niceville Sewer Plan Draws City Action
Niceville City Attorney Brooks Taylor pledged immediate court steps to prevent a legal fight over the sewer improvement and extension program. He cited a letter from former City Attorney James Moore alleging a $7300 cost increase and threatening a court injunction if work began. Moore faces his own $40000 injunction case for legal services on a street paving bond. The project remains slated, with Polyengineering confirming continuation, while a two car crash on 1st Street and Eglin Parkway caused $650 damage and yielded a failure to yield charge for Regina Totten.
