I believe in God.
I believe in evolution.
Tell me why I can’t believe in both.
U.S. District Court Judge Harvey Bartle III concluded that Thomas J. Capano is not entitled to a new trial on charges that he killed Anne Marie Fahey, the scheduling secretary of then-Gov. Tom Carper.
Take that your murderous manipulative psycho. I just wish they’d reinstate his death penalty.
Teen gun killer sought to be ‘a God’:
Police in Finland have released their final report on Pekka-Eric Auvinen and the school shooting at Jokela High School.
Nothing much we didn’t already know or could have guessed.
The one thing I found interesting was this quote from his diary…
“In the best case, this (attack) would create massive destruction and chaos, or even a revolution,” Auvinen wrote in diary entries cited by the police report. “In any case, I want this to be remembered forever. Maybe I’ll even have a follower; after all, I am a super-person, almost God.”
Just like a typical school shooter. Deluded, selfish, and an over-inflated sense of self-worth. No revolution, no followers, and you’re not even close to God. You’ll barely be remembered outside of Finland.
Randolph killing defense: It was the drugs talking:
It’s been almost three years since Jonathan Zarate murdered 16-year-old Jennifer Parks, dismembered her body, and tried to dump her in the Passaic River. Almost three years and the case still hasn’t gone to trial. Mostly because of Zarate’s defense either stalling or being completely unprepared. Now they’ve tried to delay it even more by attempting to consult with a toxicologist. Why is that you may ask? Well. now almost three years later Zarate is trying to claim that there’s no way he could have confessed to police willingly because he was high on weed laced with PCP.
Instead, defense attorney Richard S. Mazawey said in court Tuesday that a psychiatrist he plans to use in the case wants to consult with a toxicologist he just hired. Mazawey said his expectation is that the toxicologist would opine that Zarate couldn’t knowingly waive his legal right to remain silent because of the effects of “marijuana laced with PCP lingering in his system.”
Thankfully the judge denied the request.
Today a hearing will be held to determine if Zarate’s confession will be admissible.
Hat tip to Keb.
LGBT Groups: Try Lawrence King’s Killer as a Juvenile:
According to the article, 27 LGBT groups have issued a statement that said they would like to see Brandon McInerney tried as a juvenile. 14-year-old McInerney is accused of gunning down Lawrence King in cold blood at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard, California. King was an openly gay student at the school. He often got back at his tormentors, including McInerney, by mockingly flirting with them.
From the statement…
“We are issuing this joint statement because we believe so strongly in principles of justice that protect all our young people and know that, even in the face of strong emotions, we should not abandon them.
“We refuse to let our sense of outrage blind us to the fact that the suspect is only 14 years old.”
By now you should know my feelings on trying murderers as juveniles so I’ll refrain from ranting.
However I know I have some readers that are L’s at least one B and maybe a G, hell I might even have a T. I’d like to know do these activist groups speak for you or do you think that McInerney should be tried as an adult?
German schoolboy, 13, corrects NASA’s asteroid figures: paper:
According to the article, a 13-year-old German amateur astronomer has corrected NASA’s findings on the asteroid Apophis.
Nico Marquardt says that Apophis has a 1 in 450 chance of striking Earth instead of the 1 in 45,000 that NASA has said.
Unfortunately, none of this will happen until 2036. I don’t know if I can wait that long for the Apocalypse.
Anyway, NASA is now denying that Marquardt’s claim is correct so it might be a moot point anyway.
