Attorneys for Emmett Cressell Junior will argue their case the week of March

Cressell's accused of taking part in killing Garnett "G-P" Johnson last
July.
His attorneys argued for a continuance because they did not have access to
information from the state crime lab until last week.
None of the physical evidence links Cressell to the murder.
Physical evidence, however, does link co-defendant Louis Ceparano, who is

Safety on the Virginia's waterways has also made it into the House.
"Jet Skis" were the topic of two bills.
The first bill would make it illegal for someone on a personal watercraft to
follow too closely behind a boat, weave past boats or jump the wake of another
boat.
The second would force companies that rent the small boats to teach people
how to operate them before taking to the water.
Though they represent only about 5 percent of total registered boats in
Virginia, state authorities say personal watercraft are involved in more than
thirty percent of water accidents.
