Driver convicted in officer's death
TAMPA - Authorities don't know how exactly much alcohol Jose Luis Espinoza had in his blood system when crashed into Mayor Pam Iorio's bodyguard last year. But evidence that Espinoza was still legally drunk two hours later was enough to convict him Wednesday of killing Tampa police Detective Juan Serrano. After a little more than one hour of deliberation, an all-male jury found Espinoza, 36, guilty of DUI-manslaughter, vehicular homicide, leaving the scene of a fatal crash and driving without a valid driver's license. Set to be sentenced in March, he faces up to 30 years in prison. "It's over," Mylin Serrano, the detective's widow, sighed into her cell phone after the verdict. "It's over." The trial began Tuesday with witnesses describing the horrifying scene of Espinoza's 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix driving through a red light Feb.

Sports Person of the Week - Matthew Tibbetts
Civil servant Matthew Tibbetts was introduced to the sport of drag racing while studying in Tampa, Florida. Looking back he reflects that they ran their street cars at the local strip, We didnt know a lot about how to race them but it was fun and it was safe. He says when he learned that a drag strip was being built in Grand Cayman he was, very excited. His record-breaking black Pontiac Firebird very nearly went for scrap after Ivan, but Matthew decided that it was not only salvageable but the basis for a car to run at Breakers Speedway. Between February and August last year he painstakingly worked on installing the equipment needed. It took a lot of my spare time and involved a lot of blood, sweat and tears, he remembers. The already high performance engine gained a single turbo charger, running a relatively modest 3psi boost, and a 125bhp wet nitrous kit.
