Update on "Murdering Grannies" Case

Looks like the "murdering grannies" are gonna fight it out. Story here. Starts with:

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Two women pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges that they killed two homeless men in hit-and-run crashes so they could collect on the victims' life insurance.

Helen Golay, 75, and Hungarian-born Olga Rutterschmidt, 73, were being held without bail.

At the hearing, Superior Court Commissioner James Bianco denied Golay's request to use makeup, get tweezers to pluck her eyebrows, wear her own clothes and be awakened no earlier than 7 a.m. on court days.

Outside the courthouse, her lawyer, Roger Jon Diamond, explained her request.

"Any lady would want to be well groomed to make an appearance in court," he said. "If she looks haggard and not well groomed and she appears in the press, then a jury pool would be affected by that."
