The Globe is about to pick its Bostonian of the Year. As a little birdie at the Herald notes, one of the nominees, who works for the president-elect, was recently caught feeling up a cardboard cutout of Hillary Clinton. Whatever floats your boat and all that (Note: I could be wrong here, but I think Globe editors will make the decision all by themselves, and the poll they're running is strictly for educational purposes, which takes some of the fun out of it).

Jon Favreau all seriouslike
The stirring words of North Reading's Jon Favreau caught America's ear and helped vault Barack Obama to the White House.

Jon Favreau getting as close as he'll ever actually get to copping a Clinton feel
A transition official said that Favreau had "reached out to Senator Clinton to offer an apology."

A Suffolk Superior Court jury today convicted Cleveland "Sleazy" Martin of first-degree murder for the death of Brookline cabbie Heureur Previlon in 2005, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

Prosecutors successfully made the case that Martin and Jashawn Robinson - who is still awaiting trial - killed Previlon for his fare money on Aug. 25, 2005. The two made a point of calling a Brookline cab for a trip from Cleveland Circle to Monastery Road because they knew Brookline cabs did not have a partition between the passenger and driver's seats, unlike Boston cabs - and brought kitchen knives wrapped in alumnium foil so as not to leave fingerprints.

After being refused at least twice (by other cabbies due to the short trip), the men succeeded in getting a ride from Previlon, who took them from Cleveland Circle to a parking lot shared by St. Gabriel's Church and St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Once there, they stabbed Previlon to death before running to the nearby Jette Court residence of Martin's 16-year-old girlfriend.

Previlon drove a cab at night to support his family while training to become a minister.

"Heureur Previlon was a truly innocent victim, a man with only kindness in his heart, who paid the ultimate price for trusting the wrong men," DA Dan Conley said. "His case touched the hearts of police and prosecutors alike. We are very pleased with the verdict and we hope it brings some comfort to the family Mr. Previlon left behind."

If only somebody had listened to Harry Markopolos.

WANTED

Authorities are now hunting for Steven Odegard, 41, for the stabbing death of Daniel Yakovleff in Dorchester on Jan. 17.

Odegard, in whose bed Yakovleff was found, was indicted by a Suffolk Superior Court grand jury yesterday, District Attorney Dan Conley and Police Commissioner Ed Davis said in a statement, adding that, based on the evidence collected over the past ten months:

Odegard retrieved a knife from his own kitchen and stabbed Yakovleff multiple times, killing him.

Police went to Odegard's current Dorchester Avenue apartment this morning, but Odegard had already fled.

The week after Yakovleff's murder, Odegard's lawyer maintained his innocence - and pointed to an unknown third man allegedly in the apartment - in a Bay Windows interview.

Yakovleff was last seen alive leaving the Eagle Bar in the South End, where Odegard had picked him up.

Anybody who knows where Odegard is can contact Boston Police homicide investigators at 617-343-4470, the anonymous CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1-800-494-TIPS or, via text message, by texting TIP to 27463.

In memory of Daniel Yakovleff.
