Things that piss me off...
Lawyers for two Texas men arrested in their bedroom are asking the court Wednesday to overturn their convictions for sodomy under a state "Homosexual Conduct'' law. This was in 1998, take a wild guess who was governor.
Brian Deneke, murdered at 19. His killer sentenced to 10 years probation, later violating parole to receive a sentence of 8 years. Same state, same governor.
Mississippi ratifies the 13th amendment, 130 years after the fact. What kind of message does that send? (Note: scroll down to the very bottom.)
Two teenagers sentenced to life, another to death for the murder of three 8 year old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. Lacking any physical evidence to convict, prosecution used the defendants dress (black clothes, rock t-shirts), their taste in music (Metallica), and the bungled "confession" of Jessie Misskelly Jr., possessor of a 72 IQ.
