Kids, smoking really is hazardous to your health. What started as a smoke between neighbors turned into a murder as Braintree police said Lucas Walters, 28, allegedly killed Jeffrey Phillips, 31, with an ax after the men argued about money Walters owed Phillips. Phillips brandished a rake before Walters hit him in the back and head with the ax. According to prosecutors, Walters kept the body in a shed for two days, and hid the murder weapon, before burying it in Connecticut. Walters bought gas and cigarettes using Phillips' credit card and allegedly sold his TV, computer and Xbox to buy crack cocaine. Walters turned himself in and allegedly told police "I killed him by accident. I’m crazy." He was charged with murder and pled not guilty, held without bail and faces a hearing on August 25. [WCVB, Herald, Globe] All charges alleged until proven under law.

Get Religion reports that Connecticut legislators have introduced a bill that would completely reorganize the archdiocese of Connecticut. Raised Bill 1098 would eliminate diocesan control over Church finances, shifting it to boards of directors, organized at the parish level. The bishop would be relegated to a non-voting ex-officio position on the board of each parish. Some speculate that the bill is retaliation for the Church's opposition to gay marriage; others point to financial shenanigans among some of Connecticut's parishes. There is one thing that the bill almost certainly is: unconstitutional. [Hartford Courant; Get Religion]
