:headshake http://www.sptimes.com/2006/04/13/Pasco/Co...d_by_jack.shtml Couple cursed by jackpot is indicted Trouble came with a winning Lotto ticket. Now the IRS charges the Hudson couple with fraud. By PHIL DAVIS Published April 13, 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex and Rhoda Toth were down to their last $24 in May 1990 when they won a $13-million Florida Lotto jackpot. The Toths said then that they hoped the money would buy them a simple, quiet life. They ended up with anything but. Their wealth led to family squabbles and bankruptcy court. On Tuesday, it led to a federal grand jury indictment. The Hudson couple is charged with filing fraudulent income tax returns in 2000, 2001 and 2002. If convicted, both face up to 24 years in federal prison. The Internal Revenue Service is also seeking $554,667 in back taxes. "This was willful," IRS spokesman Norm Meadows said Wednesday. "It wasn't just an error. This was criminal." Meadows said Alex Toth, 58, and his wife, 49, were arrested by U.S. marshals after the grand jury indictment. He wouldn't say where or when they were booked or if they were released. The couple could not be reached for comment. At first, it seemed winning the Lotto might save the couple. In May 1990, they gassed up their old car at a convenience store. They bought a Lotto ticket - 5-7-30-38-40-43 - and left the store with $24.76 between them to last the rest of the week. They won, splitting a $40-million jackpot with a Tampa family that had two tickets. The Toths opted to receive their $13-million share in annual payments of $666,666 until 2010. They were excited, but worried. "It is a lot of money, and it creates a lot of pressure on you," Alex Toth told the St. Petersburg Times in May 1990. "We'll try to work it out." Six years later, Rhoda Toth appeared before a judge seeking an injunction against her 19-year-old son and his girlfriend. In court records, Mrs. Toth said she had been threatened and suggested the pair may have killed the family dog and burned her husband's 1986 Chevrolet Corvette. She got a domestic violence injunction. They also ended up in a legal tussle with another minor local celebrity, Bertie Higgins, who wrote the hit song Key Largo. In February 1996, Higgins crashed his Chrysler New Yorker into the back of an Isuzu Impulse driven by Rhoda Toth's daughter from a prior marriage. The crash generated headlines that brought more attention to the family. In fall 1996, they appeared on Oprah. The money "has torn us apart," Rhoda Toth the Times in 1997. "It caused us to lose a lot of friends, some family members. "Sometimes I wish we could give it back." Federal court records show the Rhoda Toth filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection in 2001 and 2002. Alex Toth filed for similar protection in 2001. Chapter 13 allows qualified debtors to set up a plan to repay their creditors and keep their property. Pasco County property records show the Toths own a half-acre lot and mobile home on Brenda Street in the northern Pasco County community of Hudson. According to an indictment released this week, the IRS first noted problems with Alex Toth's 2000 tax return. He claimed his total income as $1,498,526.00. The indictment said "he then and there well knew and believed said statements about his total income were false." Mrs. Toth's 2000 statement claimed $1,612,413 in total income, also "false according to the indictment." IRS agents noted additional problems in 2001 and 2002 returns. The grand jury also charged the Toths filed false refund claims. Alex Toth asked for $112,000 refunds in 2000, 2001 and 2002. Rhoda Toth filed similar requests for $72,000. Meadows, the IRS spokesman, declined to say how investigators unraveled the Toth's taxes. Times researcher Angie Drobnic Holan contributed to this report.

http://www.nbc6.net/news/8664956/detail.ht...0204132006&ts=H Woman, 49, Dies After Riding Epcot's 'Mission: Space' Disney Says Woman May Have Had High Blood Pressure POSTED: 8:47 am EDT April 13, 2006 UPDATED: 10:23 am EDT April 13, 2006 Email This Story | Print This Story LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- A 49-year-old woman died Wednesday, a day after becoming ill after riding "Mission: Space" at Walt Disney World -- the second death in less than a year related to the Epcot ride so intense that it has motion sickness bags and several riders have been treated for chest pain. The woman became ill after riding the rocketship ride Tuesday afternoon and was transported to Celebration Hospital, where her condition worsened and she died, Walt Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said in a statement. The woman's identity and hometown were not immediately released, and Prunty said no additional information would be released Wednesday night. A spokeswoman for the hospital said no information about the woman was available. The state Bureau of Fair Rides Inspection has been notified and will monitor an inspection of the ride, Disney officials said. "We have closed the attraction to reconfirm proper operation of the ride," Prunty said. Messages left at Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which oversees the Bureau of Fair Rides Inspection, and the Orange-Osceola Medical Examiner's Office were not immediately returned. Disney officials told state inspectors Wednesday that the woman felt dizzy and nauseated after getting off the ride, and may have suffered from high blood pressure and other health problems, Terence McElroy, a state agriculture spokesman, told the Orlando Sentinel. The park officials also said the ride had been operating normally until it was shut down Wednesday afternoon, McElroy told the newspaper. One warning sign posted in 2004 in front of the ride read: "For safety you should be in good health, and free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness or other conditions that can be aggravated by this adventure." The $100 million Epcot space ride, one of Disney World's most popular, was closed in June after the death of a 4-year-old Pennsylvania boy who passed out while aboard the attraction, but reopened after company engineers concluded it was operating normally. It spins riders in a centrifuge that subjects them to twice the normal force of gravity, and is so intense that some riders have been taken to the hospital with chest pain. Daudi Bamuwamye Sellersville, Pa., did meet the ride's minimum 44-inch height limit, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office. An autopsy concluded that the boy succumbed to an irregular heartbeat linked to natural causes. People with the condition -- idiopathic myocardial hypertrophy with fibroelastosis of the left ventricle -- are at risk for sudden death throughout their lives, especially in physically or emotionally stressful situations, medical examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia wrote. Two adults in poor health and a 12-year-old Virginia girl died last year at Walt Disney World, out of the millions who visit the park each year. In February, a 70-year-old man was injured while attempting to board the park's Peter Pan ride. A 16-year-old British girl who suffered cardiac arrest July 12 after riding the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at the park was still in critical condition when she was flown home by air ambulance in August.

He gave up his job to take responsibility for something that, in light of the DNA evidence, may never have happened. He gets points for integrity though, thats for sure. I agree he definitely did the right thing. Hopefully is wont hurt his future career.

Maybe he just needs a slump buster..

By MATTHEW BARAKAT Associated Press Writer ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Confessed al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui said Thursday it made his day to hear accounts of Americans' suffering from the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and he would like to see similar attacks "every day." Taking the witness stand for the second time in his death-penalty trial Thursday, Moussaoui mocked a Navy sailor who wept on the stand as she described the death of two of her subordinates. "I think it was disgusting for a military person" to cry, Moussaoui said of the testimony of Navy Lt. Nancy McKeown. "She is military, she should expect people at war with her to want to kill her." Asked if he was happy to hear her sobbing, he said, "Make my day." Moussaoui said he had "no regret, no remorse" about the 9/11 attacks. Asked by prosecutor Rob Spencer if he would like to see it happen again, Moussaoui responded: "Every day until we get you." Moussaoui also said on cross-examination that he is convinced President Bush will free him before the end of his term and that he will return to London. Prosecutor Rob Spencer tried several times to get Moussaoui to say he didn't really believe that, but Moussaoui was insistent. "I haven't doubted it for one single second," said Moussaoui, adding that the vision came to him in a dream just like his dream of flying a plane into the White House. He also argued that he could not get a fair trial so close to the Pentagon and he criticized U.S. support for Israel. Moussaoui testified that he believes his court-appointed lawyers are working against him and that if he'd had control over his defense, he would have argued that he should escape the death penalty and be available for a prisoner swap if American troops are captured overseas. Moussaoui, as defiant on the witness stand as he has been at the defendant's table throughout the trial, testified against the advice of his court-appointed lawyers and attacked them before the jury that must decide whether to sentence him to death or to spend life in prison. Offering a lengthy explanation of why he hates Americans, Moussaoui criticized the United States' support for Israel. He said Muslims have been at war with Christians and Jews for centuries. Israel, he said, is "just a missing star in the American flag." Moussaoui told jurors that Islam requires Muslims to be the world's superpower as he flipped through a copy of the Koran searching for verses to support his assertions. One he cited requires non-Muslim nations to pay a tribute to Muslim countries. "We have to be the superpower. You have to be subdued. We have to be above you," Moussaoui said. "Because Americans, you are the superpower, you want to eradicate us." At one point, defense lawyer Gerald Zerkin asked Moussaoui if he thought he was helping his case when he testified earlier that he planned to pilot a plane into the White House on Sept. 11. "I was putting my trust in God, so from an Islamic point of view, yes," Moussaoui responded, acknowledging that non-Muslims might view his testimony as harmful to his case. At several points during his afternoon testimony, Moussaoui acknowledged that he has lied when it has suited his interests throughout the course of his four-year case. Defense lawyers have said Moussaoui is lying about his role in Sept. 11 — the worst terrorism attack ever on U.S. soil — in the hopes of achieving martyrdom through execution. Moussaoui testified Thursday that "for the last four years, I have been fighting" against the death penalty. He said he considered the consequences of his previous testimony about his role in Sept. 11 and "decided to just put my trust in God, tell the truth and time will tell." Assailing his court-appointed lawyers, Moussaoui said: "You have put your vested interest in keeping this case in your hands, above my interest to save my life." Moussaoui suggested they preferred the fame that comes from handling a high-profile trial rather than seeking a change of venue to move the case away from Virginia, a state with a reputation for jurors amenable to the death penalty. In April 2002, when he was serving as his own defense counsel, Moussaoui filed a motion seeking to move the trial, citing an overrepresentation of government employees in the area. He also said there was more intense media attention in the northern Virginia area due to the Sept. 11 attack on the Pentagon, which is a short distance from the courthouse. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, however, rejected the claim and said Moussaoui would be able to get an impartial jury. Zerkin had asked him if he believed that his defense team was in a conspiracy to kill him. Moussaoui responded that they have been engaged in "criminal non-assistance." Earlier, Moussaoui's lawyers opened his defense by seeking to convince jurors to spare his life and put him in a place from which he could never escape. James E. Aiken, the first defense witness in the second phase of Moussaoui's death-penalty trial, said Moussaoui would always require the highest level of supervision and would be isolated not only from the outside world but also from other prisoners. "I don't care how good he is ... I don't care how compliant he is. He will be in the security envelope as long as he lives," Aiken said. Moussaoui's defense team is expected to argue in the next few days that his life should be spared because of his limited role in the 9/11 attacks. They plan to present evidence that he is mentally ill and that his execution would only play into his dream of martyrdom. Moussaoui is the only person charged in this country in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks. The jury deciding his fate has already declared him eligible for the death penalty by determining that his actions caused at least one death on Sept. 11. Even though he was in jail in Minnesota at the time of the attacks, the jury ruled that lies told by Moussaoui to federal agents a month before the attacks kept them from identifying and stopping some of the hijackers. ___ Associated Press writer Michael J.
