Brickbat: Should I Not Have Done That?


Porter County, Indiana, Prosecutor Brian Gensel has fired deputy prosecutor Trista Hudson after it was revealed she withheld evidence in a child molestation case. The accused was acquitted after the judge found that Hudson had not informed the defense that one of the alleged victims had been told to lie about what happened. Hudson called that an "inadvertent mistake."

Just watched Cape Fear again last weekend (Di Niro remake). She got off easy.
She may be a future Democrat presidential contender.
She's starting out on the right path.
Just like Janet Reno.
The original is very good as well. Hard to pick a favorite.
Who's "Henson"?
Who is Darkman?
I dunno, but if you like your fingers, give him the pink elephant.
Show me on the muppet where the prosecutor touched you.
BESTEST MUPPETS EVER!!!!
Here's what I never understand about these stories. Once you post sometimes picture in the news next to a headline like this, what further punishment is required? Your just wasting tax dollars after that.

That's interesting. Would have guessed the goat would be named "Wadsworth".
Might be his cousin.
It was his 'kid'.
He rammed it in huh?
took it on the lamb
We've got a case in these parts where two cops stand accused of running down a woodchuck with a golf cart during a police union-sponsored golf tournament.
Amazingly, the police chief has suggested they be fired if they actually did it. I'm waiting for the arrest, to see if their mug shots will be released to the media.
They were just trying to give the creature an ice cream cone.
He looks familiar... wait, is that Arthur Alan Wolk?
Well he did go to the Temple University Beastiality School of Law. I was thinking the dude looked like Woody Harrelson's dad.
WAAAAAADSWORRRRRTH
Zimmerman back in news.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016.....-case.html
Wrong. The "stand your ground" law had nothing to do with it, since Zimmerman was not in a position where he would have been able to retreat. I wonder what else the story got wrong?
No.

Your on a roll this morning .
Wish I was still sleeping. Two nights in a row awake at 3:30.
I have to be to work at 6. I'm up early every morning. (I usually wake up around 5:30 on weekends although I linger in bed for a while.)
I normally get up at 6:30 and could easily sleep later. I'll be tired this afternoon at work I'm sure. I used to get up at 5:30 but can no longer go in to work early.
Obviously you didn't drink enough last night.
Yeah, zero is definitely not enough:). I'll make up for it tomorrow night.
It's been in the high 0's to lower 90's here the last week and a half. Great beer drinking weather. I'm ready to watch some football though. I'll even watch some of the Brown's preseason games.
80's,
high 0's to lower 90's
That would be some intense weather 😉
I'm definitely ready for some football along with that crisp dry fall air. Humidity is bumming me out. Like breathing water.
"Despite its wealth, the country only ranks 58th in the UN's league table, and in a 2014 survey, its young people were the least satisfied with their lives compared to peers in developed countries, primarily due to academic stress and family expectation."
Grades and Family are bringing me down, man. I wanted to be satisfied now, not at some abstract future date.
Morning,at that age I was having lots of fun. Of course,you'd be in jail now if you acted like we did in the 1970's.
As would our parents.
Mornin'. +19 trillion.
Not creepy at all
Fired, but no charges filed. That'll teach her and other crooked prosecutors a lesson!
She'll be at her new posh law firm high paying gig after a few weeks of vacation.
I recommend disbarment, then scaphism.
nice admin
