Child abuse that resulted in death? Ramsey case back in the news. Were the parents involved? Who killed her?
January 29, 2013
Police believe JonBenet's mother abused, tortured and killed her, then faked a bizarre ransom note to cover her tracks, but they have never been able to prove Patsy Ramsey's guilt. However now it's coming out that the grand jury wanted the parents charged with murder.
But having worked in the legal system, I do know about juries, mob rule, and I support jury nullification. And I'm reminded that New York State chief judge Sol Wachtler was famously quoted by Tom Wolfe in The Bonfire of the Vanities that "a grand jury would 'indict a ham sandwich,' if that's what you wanted."
Since this is in the news, I posted these links in the news section.
So, what do y'all think?

Rep. Regina Quick pulls no punches on Chamber scorecard
ColtrainRep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

UPDATED: Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance
ColtrainThe committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases. Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
