Heard outside the courthouse

"He's just lucky that both his wife and his mistress are named Debbie. Keeps it simple for the guy. Harder to mess up." - One dude in a suit to another outside the Ronald Reagan Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse this morning, on Sheriff Mike Carona.

His Indictedness eluded the media again this morning, sneaking into the courthouse a little past 7 a.m. when everyone showed up at 8 (hoping to catch him at 9). But that doesn't mean there wasn't any royalty at the scene:

Happy Halloween! Peggy Lowe reports that Carona, his wife and mistress are being held in separate cells at the Reagan Building.

Their hearing's at 2 p.m. Our very own Rich Kane will report from the scene later today, so do check back.
