Sono, who beat several other girls a few weeks ago to snatch this title, said that Miss Lovely Legs was about giving a voice to women."It actually has less to do with legs and more with giving a voice to women, and that is the role I am going to play."I won because of my confidence and my intellect."Prosecutors will not seek the death penalty in the case of four men accused in the slaying of a 14-year-old Watsonville boy, said Santa Cruz County Assistant District Attorney Steve Moore.
