The attack on physical evidence against Jeffrey Allen Thomas took center stage in court today as prosecutors introduced items found around Munsey's body.
They say many of them implicate Thomas in her murder. But the investigation and the evidence quickly came under attack by defense attorneys.

Virginia has 72 million more dollars to work with.
And localities have 94 million more.
That's the latest budget update from Governor Jim Gilmore today.
Gilmore announced he does NOT need legislative approval to reduce the state contribution to the Virginia Retirement System -- which the V-R-S board approved last fall.

Where does this news fit into the budget crisis?
[Live=Ellen Full/Microwave]
[SUPER=@Ellen1;]
[SUPER=05-Richmond;]

Well, apparently, we can subtract 72 million dollars in state retirement contributions from the 421 million dollar shortfall.
And we can subtract the 31 million dollars in savings the administration announced yesterday.
Which brings us, by my reckoning, to a 318 million dollar shortfall.

((
Noon today was the deadline for state agencies to submit cuts of up to 15 percent.
The Governor has spared K through 12 education and direct human services from the cuts.
But the plans will be kept secret for now.
Today, Gilmore said 72 million dollars in state savings and 92 million localities will save helps stave off of the cuts.
But he acknowledged the money comes from the pot he'd urged localities to use to raise teacher pay.
[sot 14:21:04]
((GOV. JIM GILMORE: I HAVE A GOAL HERE. AND MY GOAL IS IN FACT TO SECURE THESE TEACHERS SALARIES AND RAISES, AND ALSO STATE EMPLOYEE RAISES, FACULTY RAISES ACROSS THE STATE, CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER RAISES. THE FUNDS THAT ARE IN THE VRS FOR THE SECOND YEAR DON'T FULLY DO THIS. THIS IS AT THIS TIME IS AVAILABLE FOR US TO CLOSE SOME OF THESE GAPS THAT WERE LEFT IN THE BUDGET.))

Republican Senator William Wampler of Bristol is one of the budget negotiators.
I spoke with Senator Wampler by phone this afternoon, and he says he's disappointed to see the small amount of money the Governor had originally intended going to teacher pay raises be raided at this point.
He's also eager to see more specifics on the cuts.
[Double Boxes=ANCHOR/Microwave]

Q&A KEITH: Any word on whether the Governor will still call a special legislative session later this month?
ELLEN: The Governor said for the first time today that might be unnecessary, if he can continue to manage the shortfall. Remember, the existing budget funds the full phase-out of the car tax -- with cuts to other parts of the budget.

John Daniel Payne had turned in a fellow cadet for setting fire to V-M-I's barracks.
So the government gave him credit for building a case against Twan Redmond. And that allowed the judge to ignore the five-year mandatory sentence for arson.
The 23-year-old Hanover County man told the court he'd consumed "an enormous amount of beer and shots of liquor" the night of the fire.
