1) Auto accident photos add to pedestrian death mystery
COLUMBIA, 4/2/09 (Beat Byte) -- We normally don't write about private citizens unless they enter public office or become criminals (often one and the same). But an explosion of hypothetical allegations and finger-pointing in the blogosphere prompts this story, about a couple of odd twists in the mysterious March 28 pedestrian death that involved a Columbia police officer.
The twists include three apparently recent pictures of fractured glass windshields on the public MySpace page of Jeremy Setzer's widow, Crystal Lyn (Hill) Setzer; and the tragically-timed death of her father, Clarence David Hill, who died in 2005 just ten days after being cleared on a murder charge and freed from death row, where he had been incarcerated for 16 years.
