Updates: Fielder Sues and Victoria ID Fraud gambler sentenced

Just some updates on previous posts.

On October 21, I posted "Fall from grace: Baseball's "Big Daddy" Strikes Out Big" about former Detroit Major League Baseballer, Cecil Fielder's struggle with gambling. Today the Associated Press reports (republished here by the US ABC News) that Fielder has sued the reporter and paper which first published the story. The libel suit demands $25 million in damages and fees for defamation and slander.

I will not be making any more comment on this case.

Another more recent post was on November 26, " Gambling in the Southern States - Action on various fronts". The Herald-Sun reports that Huey Nguyen who claimed his crimes were to feed his compulsive gambling was sentenced to a maximum of five years jail with a non-parole period of three years.
