The 5th District Court of Appeal in Daytona, Fla. - a state
appeals court - on Wednesday overturned the murder conviction of
Thomas Smolka, the former Virginia Beach lawyer sentenced to life in
prison in Florida in 1993 for the murder of his wife, Betty Anne. A
story Friday erroneously said that a federal appeals court
overturned the conviction. Also, due to a technical error, in some
editions, three or four paragraphs of the story were duplicated.
The Generic Theater will present a 1 p.m. matinee today of the
plays ``The Furniture'' and ``You're Trespassing On My Planet.'' A
wrong time was listed in The Daily Break's Preview section. The
theater is at 912 W. 21st St., Norfolk; for information, call
441-2160.
