Meet Tripod

For over a year, a three-legged creature born as a quadruped has been the star of the show at the CapeTown Assisted Living center in Cape Girardeau, keeping the facility's senior residents and staff entertained and providing them with the companionship only a canine can give.

His name is Tripod, and from all accounts he's a great dog.

Striping William Street

The people have spoken, and MoDOT listened. Well, sort of.

A combination of complaints made in SpeakOut and regularly scheduled maintenance has prompted the transportation agency to begin repainting the stripes on William Street, a project that will take place in the overnight hours Saturday. Partyers, watch out for those big MoDOT trucks.

Video of Rosener's testimony; audio of Kenny Hulshof's take on Kezer case

One of Joshua Kezer's defense attorneys in the 1994 trial that led to his murder conviction had some harsh words to say about former prosecutor and Republican hopeful for governor Kenny Hulshof.

Taking the stand yesterday in Jefferson City, Rosener accused Hulshof of extreme prosecutorial misconduct in the case that sent Kezer to prison for the 1992 murder of Angela Mischelle Lawless.

You can watch Rosener's testimony, and hear audio we recorded this summer of Hulshof discussing the case, by going to today's story about the hearing.
