refreshing kennyboy memories: Report: Drunken Jackie Chan Disrupts Show
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 11:10 a.m. ET

HONG KONG (AP) -- Jackie Chan disrupted a concert by Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jonathan Lee and exchanged insults with the audience, a news report said Tuesday.

Ming Pao Daily News quoted the 52-year-old action star as saying onstage that he was drunk.

Chan suddenly jumped on the stage Monday night and demanded a duet with Lee. He then tried to conduct the band but stopped and restarted the music several times, the newspaper reported.

As the awkward interruption dragged on, audience members started to heckle Chan, who replied with an insult, according to the report.

A spokesman for Chan, Solon So, said he hadn't seen Chan since the alleged incident and had no immediate comment. He said he didn't attend the concert.

Concert organizers didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.

Chan, whose Hollywood credits include the ''Rush Hour'' series and ''The Tuxedo,'' was an invited performing guest at Lee's show Sunday night.

Conn. Judge Erases Man's Rape Conviction
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 11:27 a.m. ET

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- A judge Tuesday erased the rape conviction of a man who spent 18 years in prison before being exonerated by DNA testing.

The results from the new testing earlier this year found that DNA on the victim's clothing did not match James Calvin Tillman's genetic profile, contradicting circumstantial evidence that had been used to convict him in 1989.

He had been sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Judge Thomas Miano dropped all charges against Tillman during a brief hearing Tuesday and said the case highlighted a need for prosecutors to take extra care to avoid wrongful convictions.

Tillman, 44, talked to reporters outside the courthouse with his mother and brother by his side. He said he wasn't sure what he would do now that he is free.

''I don't hate nobody, I can't live my life hating nobody,'' Tillman said.

He was 26 and living in a homeless shelter when he was charged with abducting a woman as she got into her car near a Hartford restaurant, then beating and raping her at a nearby housing project.

Tillman maintained his innocence and rejected a plea bargain that would have given him eight years in prison.

The victim had picked him out from a series of photos, and forensic tests at the time showed some similarities between Tillman's DNA and that of the attacker. However, more sophisticated DNA tests conducted earlier this year at the request of the Connecticut Innocence Project categorically ruled out Tillman as the source of the DNA.

Tillman's mother, Catherine Martin, had visited him in prison every week until he was released June 6. She and her son sang gospel songs to each other through the clear pane that divided them.
