Yeah Jazzcat THC cartridges would be small potatoes in my book. The related gun violence though tells me it must have been very lucrative. Another life lost.

Note how the activity on this thread is dropping off. The defenders of idiocy are hauling a$$ elsewhere.

We have had a real issue as to whether the DA used a major witness who they knew or should have known was a drug dealer. I don't know that being a drug dealer would impact his testimony. But I would think it was required to be disclosed if it was known or should have been known.

Interesting. All the loud mouth ones have shut up...

It it would have made a difference, the defense would have raised the point.

When I chimed in on this topic.....I made the statement that it did not matter what the police came up with......I would not accept it if it did not show it related to his testimony. I am still of that belief. It's not beyond the ability of certain powers to create the scenario that they want.



Without the ability to bear witness to the reality/truth.....it comes down to an issue of TRUST. Someone is telling me "this is what happened" and whether I trust it or not is dependent upon my trust in those telling me this information. It's like 911 and the buildings collapsing. I have no way of knowing whether it was a controlled demolition or a result of the planes and fire. Thus, it comes down to whether or not I trust the powers to be to tell me the truth.



Sometimes the TRUTH can create a reaction so disturbing that its best to cover it up with a lie. Just imagine for second what the reaction would be nationally, if the killing was somehow linked to the police? All hell would break lose and the police, themselves, would become open targets, which is a reaction that I would never condone or want to see.

But what's the point?
Would Jesus have drank a glass of fermented wine or unfermented wine?

Shot in the mouth. Another coincidence.

The defense lawyers said they didn't bring Brown's priors up because they felt his testimony actually helped Amber. The jurors interviewed said they didn't need his testimony anyway. They made up their minds when Amber testified that she stepped into the apartment with the intent to kill. Judge Jenkins said that Brown was not shot in the mouth.

Did She ever say that? I do not think so. She said when she fired she intended to kill. But the jury apparently heard something else. She did not say she intended to kill before entering as far as I can find.

Anyone have something different.

Thank God she's in jail.

Should have got 25 years though IMO.

Somehow I suspect that as a liberal, while you have all these unfounded fears of local police, you totally believe the government and media's version of what happened with the Las Vegas shooting and with the Waco massacre and the Oregon standoff.
