The only thing we can say for sure is that whoever did it, it wasn't Oscar!Caro Ramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499318515241879831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-22536195477966458072013-08-23T11:49:20.268-04:002013-08-23T11:49:20.268-04:00That's quite a powerful trio of injustice you&...That's quite a powerful trio of injustice you've put together for us over the past weeks, Caro. It sure drives home the point that an overzealous prosecution bound to vindicate its belief in the guilt of the accused at any cost is as much a threat to justice as the corrupt.<br /><br />As for your Watchmen question, Everett, that's easy: Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

In my younger years, I thought the death penalty for some crimes was appropriate, but with age comes (sometimes) wisdom, and it should be particularly evident (to anyone who cares) these days with the hundreds of people who have been cleared by DNA evidence after 10 or 20 years in prison.<br /><br />It's a sad thing, but many (knowledgeable) people recommend NEVER agreeing to be interviewed by the police, such as this law professor:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc<br /><br />and then there's items like this:<br /><br />http://articles.latimes.com/2009/mar/11/nation/na-texas-profiling11<br /><br />It's truly too bad, as most police and prosecutors are trying to do good for society, but how much of your life and property are you willing to risk?<br /><br />[slowly shaking head] Reality all too often makes mockery of our youthful ideals.<br /><br />Who watches the watchmen? (And don't tell me it's Jesper...)<br /><br />Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-48190343135950110812013-08-23T06:18:59.547-04:002013-08-23T06:18:59.547-04:00So - who really dunnit?So - who really dunnit?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
