Boston Blotter

As we've always suspected, MySpace profiles may demonstrate insanity. The defense lawyer for John Tassarini, accused of shooting his wife to death, plans to use Tassarini's MySpace page--filled with images of guns and bondage--as proof of his mental instability. If Tassarini is found guilty, this would be the 10th domestic homicide in Boston this year. [Boston Herald]

We know electric scooters are awesome, but that doesn't excuse stealing them. An Eastham man emerged from his shopping trip to find himself scooterless. [WCVB]

A collision between two drunk drivers also involved a bike. Gary Sanborn of Marshfield lost his driver's license 10 years ago due to his fourth drunk driving offense. He was biking on Route 139 when Adrian MacKinnon, 44, of Marshfield, hit and killed him. MacKinnon's license was suspended immediately because he refused alcohol testing, and he was arrested and charged with motor vehicle homicide. [WCVB]

Save the whales--including their teeth. A man from Nantucket and a man from the Ukraine have been charged with smuggling sperm whale teeth and elephant ivory. [Globe]
