I quite agree that she may possibly have done it but the fact remains why are people assuming she is guilty before any proof comes in a courtroom, Edinburgh Scotland.

Not every Black man is a descendant of slaves. Barack Obama's paternal family are from Africa and have been for generations. There are no slaves in his family tree. But, I understand, it makes The Dream sound so much better, doesn't it? After all, we elected GW Bush, twice, because he was a descendant of Presidents. I hate it when people stereotype.

This has been called a Holy War and these so called terriosts have been held and have been treated better than in their own jails as it was shown on a special report.

After he killed her, he then shot Steven. If not Fred Cooper who? There were plenty of things that could have been stolen from the home. There is no one else except Fred Cooper.

To paraphrase, if I may: Conservative judges will speak their mind, while liberal judges will hold the party line. Not at all possible that this conservative judge is jumping on the incoming band wagon prior to the institution of the Obama changes? A liberal politician would not have unconstitutionally imprisoned these people. James-

Brilliant assessment.

To paraphrase, if I may:
Conservative judges will speak their mind, while liberal judges will hold the party line.

Not at all possible that this conservative judge is jumping on the incoming band wagon prior to the institution of the Obama changes?

A liberal politician would not have unconstitutionally imprisoned these people.

This is a fair judge and this is why judges should be appointed based on their decision making rather than on their political affilations. There would not have been a ruling infavor of the prisoners if the judge had been appointed by a liberal politician and the liberal politician would have incarcerated these people.
