Thursday Tourette’s
I was initially going to go with “Thursday is ‘I give you links so I don’t have to blog’ day”, but that was too long.
So here are some interesting stories that you might have missed or will miss or have already showed up in your feedreader:
- Anthony Graves, freed after 18 years on death row.
- Latinos in East Haven, CT file suit against the police department alleging discrimination.
- Hiccup girl may assert the ‘Tourette’s defense‘.
- Briefs are due at 2pm today in Martha Dean’s lawsuit against George Jepsen in the race for AG.
- Colorado prosecutor defends comments that “public defenders do not defend the public”. Gamso has some choice words, as does Greenfield.
- CT’s first (and only?) planned sex offender treatment center is the subject of a lawsuit by the town where it will open.
- Elie Wiesel, Nazi death camp survivor, speaks against the death penalty.
And that’s it. Now get back to work.

“He said one juror told his office he was led to believe the victim was a ‘coke whore.’”
Sounds like Mr. Beeson’s prosecutors (or, government funded government lawyers) needs to do a better job. Don’t complain when jurors are led down a path when your prosecutors allowed that path to be cut right in front of them. Of course, who knows.. she totally could have been a coke whore. It’s not like those people don’t exist.

I’ve never heard of a coke whore. I’ve heard of crack whores. Meth sluts, Crystal Jobs and, of course, Marijuana Working Girls.
Which would all be awesome names for a band.

Hmmm. I think you made some of those up.

I did, but aren’t they cool names? I’d totally buy the record (do they say that anymore?) of a band named Marijuana Working Girls.
