Colton Pitonyak live!

Turn on Court TV now.

Turn on your TV right now if you want to see live coverage of the trial of one of Austin's most gruesome murders in recent memory. Not surprisingly, given the horrific nature of the killing of UT student Jennifer Cave, national media is catching on to the trial of alleged killer Colton Pitonyak, and it's showing on Court TV as I type this.

UPDATE: Wells here. This seemed like a good excuse to revisit the best/worst catchphrase of 2005: "that's just how I roll!"
