A jury today convicted a North Idaho man of second-degree murder for fatally running over a woman during a 2006 road rage incident with her husband and two daughters. Jonathan Wade Ellington, 51, has already served six years in prison for the Jan. 1, 2006, incident but was released last year after the Idaho Supreme Court overturned his convictions because of problems with his first trial. Judge John Luster today allowed him to stay out of jail until his new sentencing, which is scheduled for March 26. Ellington’s lawyer, John Adams, called the verdict the most unfair he’s seen in 30 years of jury trials/Meghann Cuniff, SR. More here. (Meghann Cuniff SR photo)

Question: Are you surprised by the verdict?

Dressed as wrestler, Tom Flanigan, 38, of Spokane, show a little muscle as he poses for a picture with movie and TV actor, Matthew Modine, 52, during a flash mob gathering today at the north end of Riverfront Park in Spokane, Wash. Dozens gathered in the park to participate in a “run the bridges just like Louden Swain.” Modine played high school wrestler, Swain, in the 1985 movie filmed in Spokane titled “Vision Quest”. Flanigan says he is a cult follower of the movie and has seen it 50 times. A small group, excluding Modine, completed the run across 3 Riverfront Park bridges. The actor is in Spokane to participate in the Spokane International Film Festival. SR story here. (SR photo: Dan Pelle)
