    RI - Mass Shooting at Brown University - Providence 13 Dec 2025

    I agree that "...what he's been doing since he got back to the US in 2017.." is a question to which I would have expected to be answered by now. 🤷‍♂️ I would think that if he had had a job of some kind that someone who knew him from his job would have stepped forward by now to say something...

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #27

    I"m sure Tallahassee and the surrounding area are nice places to live, but I stand by my observation that Tallahassee is culturally different from Miami in a significant way. To say so is not to disparage the locals as "country bumpkins"-I didn't say that or imply that. Though speaking of...

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *5 Guilty* #27

    After seeing her in action, I was also surprised that Jackie was chosen by the Adelsons. But she is a local attorney who speaks with a southern accent and maybe the Adelsons figured that she would connect better with a jury chosen from the local population. Keep in mind that Tallahassee is...

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *4 Guilty* #26

    Harvey Adelson reminds me of "Walter," one of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's dummies. 😀

    FL - FSU Law Professor Dan Markel Murdered by Hitmen-Donna Adelson Upcoming Trial - *4 Guilty* #26

    I agree that it's hard to imagine that Wendi had no knowledge of the murder plan before it was implemented. Whether she did or not is the million dollar question. But there is an even larger question: Is there enough evidence that could be used to charge and convict Wendi of conspiring to have...

    NY- Designer Martha Nolan-O’Slatarra, 33, found unconscious, then died, @ the Hamptons Montauk Yacht Club, 5 August, 2025.

    Ms. Nolan had a knack for attracting publicity for her entrepreneurial ventures. https://thecurrency.news/articles/46016/giving-shade-irishwoman-takes-on-the-big-apple-with-sunglasses-start-up/ Around the time she co-founded Out East Eyewear, she was featured in the "Alumni Spotlight" on the...

    NY- Designer Martha Nolan-O’Slatarra, 33, found unconscious, then died, @ the Hamptons Montauk Yacht Club, 5 August, 2025.

    Her LinkedIn profile is still accessible: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marthanolan/ She lists a lot of positions under her experience section and some of them sound good at first glance, but when I dig into them a bit by following links, they all add up to a kind of underwhelming career with a...

    London, Ontario-Canada: Five former players from Canada's junior national teame on trial for sexual assault- *Not Guilty*

    Now that the trial is proceeding with no jury and the verdict is up to the judge alone, the press can reveal more details about some aspects of the trial, including why the judge dismissed the jury (both sides, Crown prosecutors and defense counsel agreed to the decision)...

    London, Ontario-Canada: Five former players from Canada's junior national teame on trial for sexual assault- *Not Guilty*

    In a surprising move, the judge decided to dismiss the jury and continue as a “judge-alone trial.” From cbc.com: Trial to continue with judge alone Mark Gollom The proceedings will continue with what’s known as a judge-alone trial. This means Justice Maria Carroccia will determine the guilt...

    London, Ontario-Canada: Five former players from Canada's junior national teame on trial for sexual assault- *Not Guilty*

    Both sides (prosecution and defense) have finished questioning the complainant, "E.M." The trial has moved on to other witnesses, starting with Tyler Steenbergen, a teammate who was in the room part of the time when the sexual encounters took place but he did not participate and he was not...

    London, Ontario-Canada: Five former players from Canada's junior national teame on trial for sexual assault- *Not Guilty*

    The more that I read about this trial, the more I feel that there is reasonable doubt about the Crown's case against the defendants. The complainant is not a great witness for the Crown. It would be interesting to hear the defendants' side of the story but it seems doubtful that they will...

    London, Ontario-Canada: Five former players from Canada's junior national teame on trial for sexual assault- *Not Guilty*

    The CBC has done a thorough job of reporting on the trial. It provides live updates during days when the trial is going on and at least one article after the finish of each day's proceedings. Here is an article about Friday's proceedings...

    London, Ontario-Canada: Five former players from Canada's junior national teame on trial for sexual assault- *Not Guilty*

    It's not hard to believe that the players were not charged after the initial police investigation of the incident in 2018. Police frequently investigate possible sexual assaults, present their findings to a prosecutor and the prosecutor decides that there is not enough evidence to get a...

    London, Ontario-Canada: Five former players from Canada's junior national teame on trial for sexual assault- *Not Guilty*

    Monday's court session was mostly a repeat of the Crown's opening statement from the first trial (which was declared a mistrial though we don't know why). https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/jury-shown-surveillance-video-in-2018-hockey-sexual-assault-trial/
