Former boxing champ Arturo Gatti Murdered by wife Amanda Rodrigues?

Authorities investigating the death of Arturo Gatti have revealed Arturo Gatti’s wife Amanda is one of their main suspects.

According the statement from the Pernambuco state civil police spokeswoman, Arturo Gatti seemed to have been strangled with a purse while Amanda Rodrigues Gatti said her husband had suffered head injuries.

Inconsistent statements, changing stories, blood on her purse strap and a head injury have police pointing the suspect finger at Arturo Gatti’s wife, Amanda Rodrigues.

Police arrested 23-year-old Amanda Rodrigues because of contradictions in her story when she was interrogated, police said, explaining that she was “inconsistent and incoherent.”

Rodrigues, a Brazilian, could not explain how she spent nearly 10 hours in the room without noticing that Gatti was already dead, authorities said.

She has been detained.

The National Hurricane Center says Tropical storm Carlos has become a hurricane swirling far off Mexico’s eastern Pacific coast.

The storm’s maximum sustained winds have increased to near 80 mph and is said to progress to a category 2 hurricane in the very near future.

Hurricane Carlos will be the first hurricane of the season to enter the Central Pacific.

Montgomery County politician Ruthann Aron was ordered yesterday to serve three years in the county jail for trying to hire a hit man to kill her husband and a lawyer under a sentence that a judge said will punish her but also allow her to get psychiatric help.

The sentence was substantially more than the one year in a private New York psychiatric hospital at her own expense that Aron’s attorneys had sought. But it also was a marked departure from the eight to 18 years in a state prison that sentencing guidelines recommend. With standard good behavior credit, she could be released after serving about two years.

Jonathan Sanchez was nearly perfect on one night, his father chose the perfect time to show up in San Francisco and cheer him.

San Francisco Giants’ Jonathan Sanchez works against the San Diego Padres during the sixth inning of a baseball game Friday, July 10, 2009, in San Francisco.

Jonathan Sanchez, the Giants’ left-hander threw the majors’ first no-hitter of the season Friday night and came within a whisper of a perfect game. The only runner to reach against him in an 8-0 victory over the San Diego Padres came on an error by third baseman Juan Uribe with one out in the eighth.

Jonathan Sanchez’s dad, Sirgfredo, watched nervously from the stands, bouncing and biting his nails, then scurried down to the dugout to be among the first to congratulate the pitcher.

“Right now I’m just going to go home and hang out with my dad,” Jonathan Sanchez said. “I was pumped that he was here watching the game.”

Jonathan Sanchez almost lost his no-hit bid in the ninth, but Gold Glove center fielder Aaron Rowand saved the gem with a leaping grab at the center-field fence to rob pinch-hitter Edgar Gonzalez for the second out.

“I was going to go up and over and land on the other side of the fence if I had to, to try to make the catch,” Rowand said.

The 26-year-old Jonathan Sanchez (3-8) returned to the rotation after a nearly three-week demotion to the bullpen — and only got the call because 303-game winner Randy Johnson went on the disabled list this week with a shoulder injury.

With his father and a friend cheering from the stands, Jonathan Sanchez threw a called third strike past Everth Cabrera to finish his first career complete game. Jonathan Sanchez walked toward the plate and thrust his arms in the air as catcher Eli Whiteside rushed in for a big hug and the Giants poured out of their dugout.
