Del Neri: 'No intention of resigning'

“I have no intention of resigning,” announced Gigi Del Neri after another Juventus embarrassment.
Fans hurled abuse from the Stadio Olimpico stands after last night’s 2-0 loss to Bologna, which followed on from last week’s defeat at Lecce.

“A while back the President said he had faith in me and he has reaffirmed that,” assured the Coach.

“We are all responsible for this situation, me first of all, but I have no intention of resigning.”

The Bianconeri supporters are eager for a change on the bench and are calling for former player Antonio Conte to be considered.

“That is just love for their old playing idol, but at the moment we have to suffer together to get out of this situation.

“Juve are a very fragile side at the moment. As soon as something negative happens in the match, they no longer have the courage to get back on their feet.”

The newspapers are already looking to next season with options like current Zenit boss Luciano Spalletti, former Italy and Juventus Coach Marcello Lippi and ex-Chelsea manager Gianluca Vialli.

We don't know for sure that there isn't any. We started from one-celled organisms and look at us now. And our solar system is so young compared to many others. Then you factor galaxies in the equation. Nuts.

1994's Most Bizarre Suicide


At the 1994 annual awards dinner given by the American Association for Forensic Sciences, AAFS President Don Harper Mills astounded his audience in San Diego with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story...


On March 23 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a gunshot wound of the head caused by a shotgun. Investigation to that point had revealed that the decedent had jumped from the top of a ten story building with the intent to commit suicide. (He left a note indicating his despondency.) As he passed the 9th floor on the way down, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast through a window, killing him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the decedent was aware that a safety net had been erected at the 8th floor level to protect some window washers, and that the decedent would not have been able to complete his intent to commit suicide because of this...


Ordinarily a person who starts into motion the events with a suicide intent ultimately commits suicide even though the mechanism might be not what he intended. That he was shot on the way to certain death nine stories below probably would not change his mode of death from suicide to homicide, but the fact that his suicide intent would not have been achieved under any circumstance caused the medical examiner to feel that he had homicide on his hands...


Further investigation led to the discovery that the room on the 9th floor from whence the shotgun blast emanated was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. He was threatening her with the shotgun because of an interspousal spat and became so upset that he could not hold the shotgun straight. Therefore, when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife, and the pellets went through the window, striking the decedent.


When one intends to kill subject A, but kills subject B in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject B. The old man was confronted with this conclusion, but both he and his wife were adamant in stating that neither knew that the shotgun was loaded. It was the longtime habit of the old man to threaten his wife with an unloaded shotgun. He had no intent to murder her; therefore, the killing of the decedent appeared then to be accident. That is, the gun had been accidentally loaded...


But further investigation turned up a witness that their son was seen loading the shotgun approximately six weeks prior to the fatal accident. That investigation showed that the mother (the old lady) had cut off her son's financial support, and her son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that the father would shoot his mother. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus...


Further investigation revealed that the son became increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to get his mother murdered. This led him to jump off the ten story building on March 23, only to be killed by a shotgun blast through a 9th story window.


The medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.
