A long time I fear.ckikerintuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670661043872744115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-7456607317281717242012-05-21T14:48:37.322-05:002012-05-21T14:48:37.322-05:00I enjoyed the line in the article about how the bl...I enjoyed the line in the article about how the blood at the scene was not tested because it was "the same color as the rest of the blood." Really? Are there that many people walking around with different-colored blood? If that was the logic used in these types of cases in the '70s, then I sure am glad I wasn't gracing this state with my present back then. Holy hell, this whole case gives me the willies. Good luck, Mr. Cook.

Do it for me. Do it in O. Henry's honor. Honestly, not only can't I tell who's' talking to or about whom, I'm pretty sure y'all cannot, either. Anonymity is fine, but it needn't inhibit clarity.<br /><br />As to your conclusory sentence, what was that Billy Joel song?

Just the other day in relation to the DeLuna story we were informed with authority that "Anyone who thinks that the police and prosecutors relish the chance to railroad an innocent person into the death chamber is deranged".<br /><br />Yet here is a story in which it appears that not one, not two, not three, but four(!) DAs (and Lord knows how many policemen) busted their asses to railroad an innocent person into the death chamber. They collectively tried four times before they saw where this was going to end up, then quit right before they would have had to admit their oopsie.<br /><br />Grits, I'm sorry, but the only conclusion I can draw from this is that you must be super duper deranged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
