FYI - double check spelling of the grocery store so you aren't sued by Mr. Patterson.

It will be interesting to see how they prove this one in court.

To make an arrest and especially to make it public I would bet they have proof.

FYI
Overwaitea is spelled correctly - Patterson is PattIson
Anyway, what does that have to do with the story?

A few things funny about this, story aside. "Overweightea" was originally mis-spelled and was later corrected but as mentioned, the person at the top mis-spelled "Pattison".

As for those who think silly things like spelling and grammar aren't important, it is. It lends credibility to the story and to the site when the spelling is correct. I'm sure the site owners want to get the names spelled right, so to Mac, settle down.

Two wrongs don't make a rite. LOL Kidding......right??

I have read articles about this case and I am very very sorry for the daughter who never gave up. She has lost two parents. My thoughts are with her. She sounds like she has grown into a very brave courageous woman.
