Shane Warne to testify in murder trial


Shane Warne has made headlines on just about everything. Sex, drugs, illicit smoking. Now Warne is likely to testify as a witness in a murder trial. What's else can he make headlines about? Alien abduction? Just so long as it happens after the Ashes! Apparently Warne saw two teenagers in a taxi just before one of them were killed. The incident itself is bizarre:
Some of the teenagers in the taxi waved at Warne, who was travelling in an adjacent car. The Test cricketer wound down the car window to say hello but the teenagers began to abuse Warne and throw lollipops at him. Warne told the defendant to get rid of them, get them out of the cab.
Without wanting to make too much light of what is a tragic event, it's obviously not a good idea to throw candy at Shane Warne. Unless you're an English bowler sucking on a mint, of course.

This is truly a bizaare story. What did Warney mean when he said to 'get rid of them'? What relation does this comment have to the ensuing accident? The lollipops might be explained by the alleged use of LSD but still this story is full of intrigue. No doubt Warney should have his own TV series post-cricket.

My first impression was when Warne said "get rid of them", he was giving the kids a godfather style kiss of death. Picture the Roman Emperor giving the thumbs down signal. Those poor kids never had a chance.

That is without doubt one of the more ridiculous claims I have ever heard. What an idiot of a reporter.
