Wait a minute...."the boy" is responsible for a car accident????

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I don't care WHAT your ex has done to YOU, there is NO reason to ever badmouth a child's parent in front of them. And so many people will NEVER get how much damage they do to children, while doing this. I've always said that those who do this, hate their...

I'd even go as far to say that those women who give up their children for adoption, because they want better for their children, are ALSO "good mothers." Giving up your child when you are 18/20 and can't provide everything that a child needs, doesn't make a person less of a human. I'd give...

According to AZ statute, a "rule 32 petition" canNOT be filed, until AFTER sentencing. http://www.lawforkids.org/speakup/view_question.cfm?id=16003&topic=ARRESTED Obviously, now is NOT the time for any action to be taken. Can we NOW stop disparaging the mother for "not doing anything??"

I don't understand how anyone can believe that NOW is the time for her to "speak her mind" or pursue any type of legal recourse. The boy hasn't even been sentenced yet. This is NOT over for him. Now is not the time to be appealing, and I don't know if that is even a possibility.

I agree. I'd imagine there would have been some confirmation through the school that he was in an accelerrated program, if he were exceptionally gifted. I think someone mentioned that his lawyer was trying to get him a scholarship to a private school. I'd guess that had nothing to do with an...

Okay, if you would like to throw that "zinger" at the Catholic Church out there, then hide behind "religious debate" that is your perogative. However, the "age of reasoning" as determined by the Church has nothing to do with pedophile priests (you can look that up.) And some priests aren't the...

What's that supposed to mean?

I don't think he sounds unemotional at all. His eye are red, his voice didn't sound strong at all. He sounds like my husband, actually, not one to share his emotions easily. In all our years together, I've only ever seen him cry twice. It could be also, that the news reporters ASKED him...

You weren't the only one to disregard it, SCM. LOL Here's the link - http://www.freep.com/article/20090228/NEWS05/902280367

It isn't JUST celebrities though, who get off with a slap on the wrist. Until our judges start taking assault (I HATE that they label this as "domestic", as if that's LESS of an attack) more seriously, this will continue. Having said that, if the rumors are true, that she was known to...

I guess the link I provided the other day, that specifically addresses these issues, doesn't follow the party line, therefore no one chose to check it out. Or, no one gives a rip. It's very frustrating to keep hearing that a) innocent people don't make plea deals on murder charges, and b)...

Sorry OBE, but you are wrong. An defense attorneys job isn't to "get to the truth," that's the state's job. I know several attorneys, am related to many, and have worked with a few. An attorney's job is to get the best possible outcome for their client. Sometimes that includes the "truth"...

Don't believe it...because it didn't happen. Formynext novel and I disagree about people having guns to protect themselves. I believe Formynextnovel included security guards on campus.

Kids and adults, should be able to go to school, and focus on learning. I agree with that. I guess I'm just tired of criminals taking out good people, because they can. I don't want to be a sitting duck, and I don't want that for my children. Heh, that's funny! :-)
