Coyote Deported 49Times:  A Mexican smuggler arrested while trying to bring 17 illegal aliens into the U.S, told border agents that he has been caught and deported 45 times as a juvenile and four times as an adult.  Ildefonso Ortiz of Breitbart News reports that  Victor Ramirez was arrested after a fist fight with agents who had watched him lead the group of illegals across the Rio Grande River.  In an earlier story Breitbart reported that assault charges, which would increase the penalty for a smuggler like Ramirez, are often dismissed unless an agent is seriously injured.  This probably means that Ramirez will be deported for a 50th time.  

Arias Avoids Death Penalty:  The judge will decide whether convicted murderer Jodi Arias will be sentenced to life without parole or life with parole after 25 years after the sentencing jury could not agree today.  Fox News reports that after deliberating five days, jurors remained deadlocked on a decision to recommend a death sentence or life in prison for the woman convicted of stabbing her lover, Travis Alexander, nearly 30 times, before slitting his throat and shooting him in the head.  She later claimed she murdered him in self defense.  It was the second time a sentencing jury deadlocked in the case.
