The two robbers just happened to be appropriately named...

Butt and Johnson remain jailed on $50,000 bond each. Johnson's girlfriend tells Channel 4 News her boyfriend didn't do it and contends police picked up the wrong guy.

Good for him!

Aye .

As a complete aside, just an observation rather than a wish to 'turn' the thread, that was awful reporting. What is it with dramatic reconstructions on American news? For me it blurs the line between fact and fiction too much ... oh aye ... that's American news-tainment, I forgot :lol:. News really shouldn't be about ratings but I guess the market delivers what it can in the circumstances :shrugs:.

Journalism in the US is at an all time low. I think it's at a lower point than it was before the advent of print media.
