ACCUSED SERIAL KILLER ANTHONY SOWELL'S D RESTS

IF HE'S convicted, Anthony 'Creepy Tony' Sowell may go down as the forgotten serial killer. Sowell is on trial for his life in Cleveland and is accused of raping, murdering and dismembering 11mostly crack addicted prostitutes during a two year reign of terror in 2007-2009. So far, it's not looking too good for Creepy Tony and yesterday, the defence rested. They called no witnesses. Presented no evidence. He is S.O.L. The prosecution wrapped up their case Monday. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Creepy Tony--a former Marine--came to the attention of cops when women who lived in his rundown area complained about him. Neighbors apparently missed the stench of rotting flesh coming from his two-story house. Prediction? Death for Creepy Tony, soon to be the forgotten serial killer. MORE FROM CNN

MEMPHIS COP TIMOTHY WARREN'S DEATH PREMONITION

DAYS BEFORE Memphis Police officer Timothy Warren was viciously gunned down and killed in a downtown hotel, he feared he would die. According to the MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL-APPEAL the veteran cop told his wife Betsy:"I have a feeling something really big is going to happen. It's going to happen Downtown. It's going to happen really fast. Betsy, I have a feeling I'm going to be right in the middle of it. It might
cost me my life."
Betsy told the paper she tried to calm him: "Surely not. God has other plans for you."
On Monday, cops stormed the DoubeTree Hotel in downtown Memphis and Warren was shot in the head while responding to a domestic dispute. Besides his wife Betsy, he leaves his son James, 8, and daughter Jewel, 4.
Betsy added: "Now I realize God did have other plans. He wanted him in heaven."
MEANWHILE, cops say Alexander Haydel, 22, is in jail on charges of first-degree murder. The incident began when a couple from Cleveland, Mississippi got into an argument at the hotel. The woman's ex-hubby apparently intervened. Arthur Warren, 49, (not relation) was shot and killed after Haydel went to his car and got a gun.

PARTY MOM CASEY ANTHONY CLOSER TO DEATH ROW

GRIM. That's the only way to describe Week 3 of Casey Anthony's first-degree murder trial. Anthony, 25, is charged with murdering her her toddler daughter Caylee in 2008. This week, the prosecution paraded a veritable marching band of expert witnesses that seemed to inch the Party Mom ever closer to death row. Gruesome videos, bugs, what animals did to Caylee... it was all there.
The Chicago Tribune has a day-by-day roundup of the week's doings in a Florida courtroom:

MONDAY: Dr. Arpad Vass, a top scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, testified about human-decomposition-odor analysis and how the concept was applied to samples from Casey Anthony's car. Defense attorney Jose Baez questioned Vass about a possible financial incentive for getting the science of odor analysis accepted in the courts. Vass said he could see 15 percent royalties if a device he helped design is sold and marketed to law enforcement.

TUESDAY: Orange County Deputy Jason Forgey explained how police dogs are trained to detect human decomposition and what happened when his K-9, Gerus, got involved in the Casey Anthony case and alerted authorities to a possible site of decomposition. Dr. Michael Rickenbach, a forensic chemist examiner with the FBI, told jurors that he was surprised that residue of chloroform was detected on fabric from a spare tire cover taken from the trunk of Casey Anthony's car because the chemical usually dissipates quickly.
