A defense attorney has suggested that a spray tan might be to blame for the death of a 33-year-old South Florida woman whose husband is now facing a second-degree murder charge.
Prosecutors believe 36-year-old Aventura developer Adam Kaufman strangled his wife, Eleonora Kaufman, in November 2007. But during a bond hearing Tuesday, defense attorney Bill Matthewman floated a different theory.
Matthewman said arsenic or some other accidental poison in a spray tan might be to blame for Eleonora Kaufman's death. Matthewman asked Miami-Dade chief medical examiner Dr. Bruce A. Hyma if officials investigated adverse reactions to spray tans.
Eleonora Kaufman got a spray tan one day before she died.

Daggering is just crazy
An erotic dance craze sweeping Jamaica has been blamed for a number of pelvic injuries and now faces a government crackdown.
"Daggering," a lewd dance style where couples simulate dry sex in various positions to the beat of the music, is characterized by over-the-top gyrating, heavy pelvis-thrusting and daredevil leaps.
Many couples have taken the "rough" daggering dance from the club to the bedroom, with disastrous consequences. Jamaican doctors were prompted to issue a warning on the dangers of daggering when presented with a range of fractured penises caused by rough intercourse.The number of cases tripled in the last year.
The rising popularity of the new dance — and subsequent public protests — has prompted the Jamaican government to ban songs and videos with blatantly sexual content. The videos have been making the rounds on YouTube and other video-sharing sites.
Jamaica’s Broadcasting Commission defines daggering as a "colloquial term used in dance hall culture as a reference to hardcore sex, or what is popularly referred to as 'dry sex,' or the activities of persons engaged in the public simulation of various sexual acts and positions."

Angry Neighbors Won't Be Charged in Beating of Suspect
A mob of furious neighbors of an 11-year-old girl raped on her way to school in Philadelphia won't be charged for beating a man wanted for questioning in the case.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said Thursday that no charges will be filed against the group of about a dozen residents of the city's West Kensington section who attacked 26-year-old Jose Carrasquillo.
Carrasquillo hasn't been charged with rape but was arrested on an unrelated warrant. Ramsey said investigators have forensic evidence and witness identification placing him at the scene of Monday's attack.
Carrasquillo was released from the hospital into police custody Thursday afternoon after being treated for head injuries. The girl also has been released from the hospital.
Ramsey said he made the decision not to charge the residents based on the severity of the man's injuries. He also factored in the neighbors' intent and the high level of emotion in the community. But, he added, he doesn't condone violence.

Police find suitcases made of cocaine
Police say two suitcases carried by a woman who was about to fly from Santiago, Chile to Spain were made of cocaine.
Detective Leandro Morales at the Santiago airport says the drug "was not hidden in the luggage — this time the suitcases were the drug."
Morales tells The Associated Press that the suitcases were made of a substance combining cocaine with resin and glass fibre.
He said a "chemical process" could be used to separate out the drug.
The officer says the suitcases were heavier than their contents.
The 26-year-old Argentine woman was arrested.
