Thank you! We will all have fun once the trial begins. Wish my grandson could go visit your neighbor with his bb gun.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I've hidden the bb guns, slingshots, and wrist rockets from dh and gs for a while now. I know dh will be looking for them soon. We have pecan trees and this year we have pecans and we'll have plenty of them.

I did talk my gs out of using a bow and arrow.

A lack of mitigating factors or mitigating witnesses is not responsible for defeating the death penalty.

I hope you are right Tuba. I totally agree.

I think Judge Stephens is prepared for any attempt by Arias to alter her representation once underway. The killer is planning to act in pro per for her sentencing trial. If she proves unable to act once underway, Nurmi & Willmott are at the table. It will not occasion another stall. If Arias does take it all the way to finish, she cannot complain that potential witnesses were waiting on the sidelines but no effort was made to call them. It is instead her responsibility to bring them in. In a future appeal, she will not be able to argue that she had mitigating supporters but through incompetence and neglect, they were never called.

OKEMAH, Okla. (AP) — A man accused of killing two girls along a rural Oklahoma road in 2008, but who wasn't arrested until after being questioned in his fiancée's death three years later, pleaded guilty in both cases Thursday.

Kevin Sweat, 28, entered guilty pleas to three counts of first-degree murder in Okfuskee County District Court. Prosecutors dropped plans to seek the death penalty after Sweat agreed to waive his right to a jury trial. A bench trial was scheduled to begin on Monday.

The girls — 11-year-old Skyla Whitaker and 13-year-old Taylor Paschal-Placker — were fatally shot as they walked down a road near Weleetka in rural eastern Oklahoma. But the case quickly went cold after their bullet-riddled bodies were found not far from where Taylor lived with her grandfather.

Ok he pled guilty.........whats the wait? give him the dp and get er done for these families.

And he can't get DP now per the article. Since he waived his right to a jury trial the DAs took the DP off the table. He will get Life...with or without parole options probably

I can't believe there is not a big trial going on right now that would interest a lot of people.

I have a question. Veterinarians use Pentobarbitol to euthanize horses daily. Can't the States use the Pentobarbitol from the vets to euthanize these murderers?

"Q: Why don't all states follow the lead of Georgia, Missouri and Texas and use compounded pentobarbital?

A: The compounded version is difficult to come by, with most compounding pharmacists reluctant to expose themselves to possible harassment by death penalty opponents. Adopting it also raises the specter of lawsuits over its constitutionality, based on arguments that its purity and potency could be questioned as a non-FDA regulated drug. So far, Georgia, Missouri and Texas won't reveal their sources, while Ohio, whose protocol includes the option of compounded pentobarbital, hasn't been able to obtain it....

Q: Why can't states just find another drug as effective as pentobarbital?

A: Basically, options are running out. The leading candidate after pentobarbital was propofol, the painkiller known as the drug that caused pop singer Michael Jackson's 2009 overdose death. Missouri proposed using propofol but withdrew the idea over concerns the move would create a shortage of the popular anesthetic. Meanwhile, manufacturers are also starting to put limits on drugs in the old three-drug combo still in use in states like Florida....

No, it was news that I was reading and it came up. Life, he gets life when he's took those two girls. That's not right, that is not real justice.

Hi, Zuri :seeya:

Politics in other words. Apparently TX hasn't had issues with their concoctions and keep their sources secret for good reason. AZ can do the same....but its all politics.

A little more info:

A Minute Entry was posted this morning on the 7/30 hearing:

Picture of her Royal Fatness.....unless she pulls a fast one on Aug 10, I'm hedging my bets she's going to foal Sept 9. First foals are so unpredictable, and her heat cycles were pretty goofy last year.
Compare to the lean, mean, speed machine from last year:

I really like the bow and arrow idea. ok. Just kidding. Have a friend just down the street with six boys. They and their dad hunt and fish all the time. The oldest boys use bow and arrows. They are quite proficient. Have all their meat for winter too! I grew up in a family of hunters and fishermen so I am quite used to all that it entails. And no, we never harmed anyone. I'm a native Texan, living happily in Indiana. My close friend is from upstate NY and she asked what all those "rednecks" would do with all their guns and the illegals crossing the border. I had to wink at her ignorance in calling people from the South "rednecks", as Hollywood paints them to be. I told her those folks are more law abiding than politicians. Lol. They aren't going after anyone but would defend themselves in their homes just as anyone would! enough of my rant. Back to the subject... Protect your property from your neighbor.

Incidentally, none of the three 'Intervenors' of the amicus brief have the initials D.R.:
