It's Florida, man. what other verdict could they possibly have come up with?
say it with me: F-L-O-R-I-D-A.
But yeah, I cant fathom it any more than you- I've intentionally NOT read anything on this case so I dont know the details: I was in McDonalds yesterday and they had some Court TV thing talking about how the Jury Parking tickets at the trial are going to be major keepsakes and collector items.
Jebus motherfucking Christ. On a pogo-stick.
Really, the murder of a child is reduced to a possible ebay auction, the notion of integrity in televised news is completely over. The "reporter" was even hounding the victim's family as they ate lunch- speculating on "what they could be eating at a time like this".
But yeah, Florida.
But dont look now, there's an even more hideous case on the horizon... I give you... Nancy Novak.
This sweetheart ordered the two hit men she contracted to kill her husband to "cut out his eyes" while she watched. Now she's hocking his passion- the world's largest batman collection- to pay for her defense. Oh, she's also a suspect in the possible murder of his mother too.
Yeah...she'll get off too.

I mean, really. You're crazy rich- hit the Playboy mansion or something. This is like extreme natural selection at play here, wherein terrible life choices thin the gene pool and clog the probate courts.

I had a fellow artist once tell me that "The STUPID gene eventually eliminates itself from the pool" but that isn't true. It reproduces far too quickly.

So true- and this guy had already spawned so the theory, while desired, does not hold water.

quote: Pileggi is accused of shooting Ronald C. Vinci in the head, stabbing him in the chest, slitting his throat, wrapping him in bedding and plastic bags – and then plotting to drop his body in the ocean.
She was held without bond Wednesday.
“This is a brutal, brutal murder," police spokesman Detective Travis Mandell said. "I can’t imagine someone else doing this to another human being."
Yes, even though it keeps happening...always such a suprise. Keeps life an adventure, I suppose.

The jury will go for a Self Defense plea- the beaten, shot, stabbed 70 year old, wrapped in plastic and covered in garbage bags with his throat slip was asking for it....

Yes, they passed a law making the state capitol they serve in easier for people to come in and shoot them. Such is the power of the NRA in FloriDuh.
quote:... a law that took effect Oct. 1 pre-empts city and county governments from regulating guns except where the state expressly allows it. That includes the state Capitol, where guns are prohibited only in the House and Senate chambers and committee rooms.
So Capitol Police no longer ask gun owners to secure their firearms. And they’re not alerting the House and Senate sergeants, who are civilian political appointees.

That'll get to FloriDuh in time- Lotto is a the big thing here- it got legalized as a means to bolster Flrida's broke education system by a percentage going to schools...but then the state legleslature decided to reduce the education budget by the projected Lotto contribution, making the budget the same....unless the econemy tanks and the Lotto makes less money.
Then the schools have to run on even less money.
So now teacher's jobs depend on statewide gambling- and parents piss away money on Lotto that they could spend on their children.
