I was convicted of killing my pregnant wife. Did I do it? Well, maybe I just don’t remember. I say no. I don’t know how they were able to convict me. Maybe if I had cried a little more, and stayed off the phone with my girlfriend. Funny, she helped them convict me. You just never know someone. I’m just a nice guy who likes to go fishing on Christmas Eve.
I’m a young mother, or at least I was. Someone murdered my baby girl. They said it was me. I denied it. I loved my little girl, though I can’t really explain why I continued to party and hang with my friends the week she disappeared. Guess I should have stayed away from the camera. People didn’t understand. I just needed to unwind. Have fun. I was so stressed about my baby’s disappearance. Yeah, I lied a lot, but that doesn’t make me a murderer.
I built a multi million dollar theme park for Christians. After all, don’t we deserve to have our own? Yes, my wife and I lived lavishly, but, we could afford it. Our supporters were very generous. I guess I didn’t keep as close an eye on finances as I should. It seems we sold a few time shares we didn’t have. The stress was great. Meeting that secretary in the hotel room, well, I just needed to relax. Guess I was wrong.
Hey, we aren’t all bad! I was a cook when a famous talk show host hired me as hers. She loved my cooking! She invited me on her show to demonstrate what I could do in her home. Before I knew it, I had my own show! Good things do sometimes happen to nice people.
I was born into a rich family. A well known one at that. We dabbled in politics and I guess that became our mantra. Our name is so well known, that I have heard the media refer to us as U.S. royalty. Sad though, I’ve lost so many family members. I’m actually the only one left of my immediate family. I try to stay away from politics. I like my privacy.
I was just a young unknown when I decided to run for a senate seat. Hey, everybody has to start somewhere. Before that I was a community organizer. Crazy, huh? Well, I liked politics so much, one day I decided, I’m just going to run for president! They said I couldn’t win. They were wrong. You know,I have a “gift.”

Nicely done. Thanks.
God Bless~
I guessed who 3 of them were, but couldn't figure out the rest...but that might be due to me not keeping up with the latest scandals.
Great job!
My main suggestion would have been maybe to put some sort of a border after each paragraph, perhaps a line of stars **** to help show that it is a different story line because I had to stop and reread it several times before I got the idea of it.
I really liked the examples you gave. I think it was clever to show both famous and infamous examples. This is certainly a unique take and I enjoyed it.
