Jewish World Review News of the Weird: The Classic Middle Name (all-new!); Unclear on the Concept By Chuck Shepherd http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Arrested recently and awaiting trial for murder: Anthony Wayne Smith (former Oakland Raiders football player), Los Angeles (March); Theron Wayne Johnson, Weston, Texas (May); Michael Wayne McGray, Vancouver, British Columbia (May); Darrell Wayne Morris, Price, Utah (May).
