You mean ... ... Jane didn't televise a public correction??? I'm shocked. Just shocked.

I have to think that his past experiences with tabloid journalism have made him wiser than that. If there might be a scintilla of expectation that he would be treated equitably I expect that he probably would, but he's not in a position where "any publicity is good publicity", and he has no...

How do you get from this ... ... to this ... You wouldn't want to twist my ... 'scuse me ... John Adams words, would you? Now we know that your answer to the question is non-zero, at any rate. (By the way. I misspoke earlier. That lawyer wasn't related to two presidents. He was only...

(my bold above) I like that one too. Do you know where it comes from? One of those pesky Colonials said it while he was defending some British soldiers against murder charges after the "Boston Massacre". Two of his relatives later became U.S. presidents. Well, it used to be an American...

Just for grins I googled "wrongful conviction examples". This one came up real quick. [/LIST] source I couldn't agree more about the fallibility of eye witnesses. One of the most egregious cases I've heard of happened about thirty miles from here. The crime victim who provided the eye...

I think that DNA came up as an example of the issue of guilt, innocence, and the dangers of mistakes concerning the latter. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the core issue. It has provided some aid in developing irrefutable exonerations. The fact is that there are almost certainly other wrongful...

Is that what you've been doing? Sorry. I thought there was a discussion going on. My mistake.

Same question.

How many innocent people is it okay to imprison or execute in the effort to convict the guilty? How many does it need to disturb you? Don't worry about being specific. Round numbers will do.

Diabolical. Just diabolical. The mind boggles.

That's right. We're in agreement concerning the process. Still not sure about the circumstances of Ron's release.

I'm aware of what was said in the article. I don't even necessarily disagree with the surmises you have made concerning those statements. My post that you responded to above was concerned with the misrepresentation of statements reported by news articles. It's difficult enough to glean...

(my bold above) I read Misty's comment where she stated that her longest interview with LE was right before the wedding. I missed Ron making any statements about that being either his or her last interview. Maybe I need to go back and re-read the article.

I read Ron's comments about LE and the investigation. He won't be the first person whose loved one is a victim to make that sort of statement. I missed Ron's comments about bloggers. I did see the ones from Crystal's mom. Maybe I need to go back and re-read the article.

Just FYI. In construction the drywall trade splinters at many levels. Due to insurance requirements many large GC's often will not or cannot contract with very small companies who lack the necessary coverage. Large partition contractors who can satisfy the requirements routinely use these...

Well. For starters I'm pretty sure we can rule out Francine's Wine Bar.

(my bold above) Citations? Links, please? Since there were so many of them for so long a time you shouldn't have much trouble providing a few. If you can't, that's okay, because if you can't I don't think it's really providing much to this thread. Well, even if you can it wouldn't, but I...

I'd go as far as to risk saying that it was likely. There certainly could be some areas of common interest beyond family connections, and Satsuma isn't exactly a "teeming metropolis". How many bars has the place got, anyway?

Great! We all agree, then.

Which would mean that if someone should try it it they probably won't meet with much success. I don't really see anything wrong with that. My memory certainly isn't what it used to be, but the closest I can recall to "massive ridicule" came largely from people who felt that it was pointless to...
