​Alex Johnson -- a main character in this week's cover story about the conviction of Buju Banton -- on Monday further delayed his bankruptcy hearing. On the surface, there's nothing extraordinary about that; many Americans have turned to bankruptcy proceedings, which can stretch months if not years. More >>

Goodman says he was protecting his kids.

​Wellington multimillionaire John Goodman knows he might be going away for a while. The founder of the International Polo Club is facing multiple criminal charges for allegedly driving drunk and causing the car accident that killed 23-year-old Scott Wilson in 2010. He has pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide, DUI manslaughter, and failure to render aid; his trial is scheduled for March.

Apparently, Goodman,48, is worried enough about doing prison time that he devised a bizarre way to make sure his two young children are provided for in his absence. He adopted his 42-year-old girlfriend, Heather Hutchins, so she could look after his kids' trust funds and give them most of the money, according to a statement Goodman's attorney, Daniel Bachi, released today.

The "before" picture.

​Cops told us late last month that they were looking for 19-year-old Burnie Reed, who they believe was arguing with his pregnant ex-girlfriend in the street, then shot the woman's sister in the head when she tried to step in.

​Marvin Broadway had a team, according to police, and attempted to rob a man behind the Gold Buyers store on the 5100 block of North Federal Highway. Unless the idea was to get arrested not wearing any clothes, the robbery did not go according to plan.More >>

Goodman called his girlfriend after the crash.

​Rich people do strange things to protect their money. Wellington polo mogul John Goodman went so far as to adopt his 42-year-old girlfriend to preserve his family's fortune. Which means, legally, he's his girlfriend's dad, and... well, you get the idea.

Why would a multimillionaire do such a thing? Goodman, 48, has a few good reasons. He's currently facing criminal charges for allegedly driving drunk and causing a car accident that killed 23-year-old Scott Wilson in 2010. Wilson's parents have sued Goodman for damages that could top $100 million, and his children's trust funds have become an issue of contention in the case. Adopting his girlfriend, Heather Hutchins, and making her a beneficiary of the trusts means she immediately inherits a portion of the money, according to WPEC-Channel 12. Theoretically, she couldMore >>

​UPDATE: The man killed by Schlanger was Craig Legget. Police say the altercation stemmed from "a prior civil matter regarding the destruction of Leggett's personal property by Schlanger's son."

Fort Lauderdale police say a former city employee shot and killed a man in the lobby of a condo building yesterday, then shot himself in front of cops as they approached the building.

According to Fort Lauderdale Police Detective Travis Mandell, 73-year-old Gene Schlanger shot and killed a 36-year-old man in the lobby of Schlanger's condo building -- the Runaway Bay condominiums on the 1600 block of SE Tenth Avenue -- shortly before 10:30 a.m. yesterday.

Someone phoned up the cops, and as officers watched through the glass-enclosed lobby as they approached the building, Schlanger shot himself, Mandell says.
