JEOPARDY FOR BURGLAR CHASED ALEX TREBEK

TREBEK

IT was double jeopardy for both a hotel burglar and game show host Alex Trebek, Wednesday when the game show host chased down a burglar, but ruptured his Achilles tendon in the process. 
The 71-year-old, who has presented 'Jeopardy' for over 25-years said he and his wife were sleeping when the thief broke into his San Francisco room and made off with cash, a bracelet and other valuables.   
Later as he hosted the National Geographic World Championship at Google headquarters in Mountain View he told the crowd: "At 2:30 yesterday morning, chasing a burglar down the hall. My Achilles tendon ruptured and I fell in an ignominious heap to the carpeting, bruising my other leg in the process."
San Francisco police Lt. Troy Dangerfield says 56-year-old old Lucinda Moyers was caught by a security guard at the hotel and arrested on suspicion of felony burglary and receiving stolen property.

Among the items stolen was one with sentimental value - a bracelet.
According to his mom, she gave her son the bracelet 20 years ago and he's been wearing it on the show every day since.
The cash and bracelet haven't been found but other items were recovered.
Dangerfield says officers found several items near the hotel ice machine.
Trebek is scheduled for surgery on Friday and is expected to be in a cast for six weeks.

JORAN VAN DER SLOOT'S LAWYER QUITS

FLORES

KILLER?

DOUBLE murder suspect Joran Van der Sloot's lawyer has given up on him and quit defending him against murder allegations in Peru - citing unspecified differences over strategy.     
The prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, has now been abandoned by his legal adviser in his murder case in the killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores.
The pretty Peruvian's body was seen entering in in his hotel room, but never left. 
His lawyer, Maximo Altez, however withdrew from the case saying: "I can not defend this case in the way he wants me to."

He refused to elaborate on his client, who he had been defending on a pro bono basis, although he made it clear that money was not a factor in his decision to quit.
He added: "I thought this case would be a good opportunity to show the world that in Peru detainees are abused, and the Peruvian justice system is very informal."
It's thought a public defender will be applied to the case.
Police say Van der Sloot took Flores' money and bank cards from her wallet and fled to Chile, where he was arrested a few days later, although they have yet to file formal charges against him. 
Once the discovery phase of the case ends, prosecutors will file charges and a trial date will be set.
