Trayvon Martin Autopsy: Knuckle Injury Was Tiny, but Gunshot Was at 'Intermediate Range'

- Justen, I'm sorry, I was just going by what I learned from being involved in prosecuting people. There is a difference between discussion that happen in a prosecutors office and those that are done in a forensics lab.

- Ultimately, this is why we need a trial. There are just too many questions and inconsitencies. Regrettably, because of the poor job of investigating that the police initially did and how influence muddied the waters, we will never really be sure of anything.

- Okay, let's go over this. Zimmerman claimed that he pulled the gun while Martin was on top of him on the ground and that Martin tried to take the gun from him. Now, this does not match with someone being shot at intermediate range, which would be at least 4 feet away.

- I have problems with torture being evidence, but your discussion of killing Bin Laden as evidence tampering is ludicrous. There is plenty of evidence against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed including broadcasts statements that he made BEFORE he was captured.

Columbia law article says Texas executed the wrong Carlos

- Lanikai, let me explain one thing about Texas. It has among the most ridiculous evidentiary laws in the USA. It also has one of the most broken forensics labs in the entire world. The number of cases that have to be overturned is far in excess of almost all of the other states.

- Didn't see a single word in the article suggesting the religion of anyone involved. Nice to see that never stops prejudiced people from jumping to conclusions. As a Christian, I am against the death penalty since it denies a person there entire life to reflect and perhaps change.

Another "Family Values" Republican caught soliciting gay sex

Seeded on Fri Aug 12, 2011 3:19 PM EDT (The Indianapolis Star)

Here we go again. What is with these GOPers. They all seem to be closeted gays, pedophiles or abusers. This one's a real doozy too. Even going so far as to try to physically force the guy to stay after he changed his mind.

Real Long-term Solution to the Illegal Immigration Issue

Wed Apr 28, 2010 12:37 AM EDT

We must find some real solutions to the illegal immigration problem in this country. I'm sick to death of the banging on the drum for Arizona 1070. It's a joke. It does nothing to really solve the problem.
