My mother once told me that Even The Guiltiest Man on the Planet is ENTITLED to a NOT GUILTY Plea.
But I agree with you. He has already been found guilty by 280 million Americans. Thanks to Real Time Videos and Up To The Minute News Feeds.
As much As I Hate to say it, being a US Citizen, he is entitled to his rights.
I think it will be extremely interesting to see how this all plays out. A good lawyer might be able get him acquitted.
Why? .. Because there are a Boat Load of Contradictions. Too Numerous to list here. Let's just take the 7-11 for example. .. Now, supposedly they robbed the 7-11. . And Then by the next day they didn't do it because they were at a different gas station a couple of blocks away. Although there is video from both locations showing where they were and exactly when, a good lawyer will be able to show a shadow of doubt that the data was fowled from the get go. AND,. . If there is any doubt what so ever the Jury MUST Acquit. Simple as that.
As far as rights go, I heard something on the radio today that kind of disturbed me.
They said that the government was considering the Miranda Exception and then in the next breath followed that up with "If They Read him the Miranda Act that it could potentially cause problems with a conviction".
What the Hell is Up With That?
How it is possible that it might cause problems? . . Anyone Have an Answer to that?
I would like to know, .. And I am sure that Everyone else would like to know as well.
If anyone might be interested in a real creepy thought I'll let you in on a little secret .. . .. .
I have entertained an idea that the governments best position on this case is to name the suspect and enemy combat. Regardless of whether he is listed as Enemy or Non-Enemy Combatant. With that status they would be able to hold him INDEFINITELY without a trial. FOREVER. .. Until his Dying Day. They would probably keep him in solitary confinement which would decrease his life expectancy to about 35 years or so, give or take.
Besides, why have a trial when they have the potential of losing the case? Why take the chance? Why not just hold him until he has squeezed out his last breath of air? Would that not be equivocal to execution? Definitely a slower version I might add.
P.S. .. I would Like to Thank The Patriot Act for making this All Possible.
Exactly. NDAA in effect right now. And this will be a nice platform to restart the drone debate on.

Has anyone seen this? Statement from Mr. Cowboy hat...
With the first blast,Mr. Arredondo jumped over the fence and ran toward the people lying on the ground. What happened next,he later recounted to a reporter: He found a young man,a spectator,whose shirt was on fire. He beat out the flames with his hands. The young man,who turned out to be Jeff Bauman,had lost the lower portion of both legs. He took off a shirt and tied it around the stump of one leg. He stayed with Mr. Bauman,comforting him,until emergency workers came to help carry him to an ambulance.
Odd thing is..many photos of this victim before mr. Cowboy hat made it to him...and not one shows him on fire.
Ny times
Also saw a interview with him where he says..." there were limbs evertwhere..lots and lots of limbs" anyone seen anything like this in the photos? Best I have seen is one foot
