Everybody knows that Tom DeLay was sentenced to three years in prison on Monday for money laundering. But what are the chances he'll actually see the inside of a jail cell? A defiant DeLay vowed to beat sentence on appeal. None other than the judge in the case -- Senior Judge Pat Priest -- raised the possibility that he might.

DA plans to retry man convicted in 1983 University Park killings
Jennifer Emily reports:
It's likely that Billy Allen killed two people in University Park in 1983.
It's just not clear which Billy Allen.
Billy Frederick Allen was convicted of murder that same year and sentenced to 99 years in prison for the slayings of Raven Dannelle Lashbrook, 33, and James Perry Sewell, 46. But the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals last year ordered a new trial, saying his defense attorney had been ineffective because he hadn't discovered evidence that Billy Wayne Allen might actually have been the killer.
