Now this is a crime. Supressing evidence is against the law yet do you think this punk asswipe will do any time or receive any type of punishment for violating not only the law but his office?
The answer is not only no; the answer is, Hell. No.

Bahstid(s)!

On Thursday, Mississippi Circuit Court Judge Bobby DeLaughter pled guilty to lying to FBI agents who were investigating him in a corruption case. In the 1990s, when DeLaughter was a local prosecutor, he handled a rape and murder case involving Cedric Willis. Willis was arrested for raping a woman and, four days later, killing a man. Police and prosecutors always knew the same man committed both crimes and they were certain that man was Willis. When DNA testing proved Willis didn't commit the rape, DeLaughter pressed ahead with the murder case against him and convinced a judge to withhold from the jury any information about the related rape for which Willis was proven innocent. Willis served 12 years in prison before he was exonerated. TalkLeft reports on the DeLaughter guilty plea, noting: This might be seen as karma in action, except that DeLaughter probably won't serve 12 years, and he certainly won't serve it under the nightmarish conditions that Willis had to endure.

From the page: "The issue of Twitter jacking someone's identity has been a hot topic this year.

Perhaps the most visible incident was St Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa taking Twitter to court over someone else using his identity on the microblogging service. Kanye has also had issues with Twitter imposters, but, what doesn't he have issues with?

In any event, a new case involves a slightly lesser known figure a political blogger named Donal Blaney also falling victim to an impersonator, but features a new way of serving a court order: via Twitter itself.

Since the Blaney impersonator is anonymous and is yet to be tracked down, a court in the UK is allowing a law firm to serve an injunction via Twitter. According to the BBC, the injunction known as the Blaney's Blarney Order  is due to be served at 1930BST and will include a link to the text of the full court order.

The BBC adds that in the UK, injunctions can already be served by email, so it's not completely out of left field for the court order via Twitter (Twitter) to be allowed. Nonetheless, it's an innovative move by the court, and one we could see in the future as public figures look to protect their identity and brand on the social web." ]

***It seems like just days ago when a matter similar to this one came up in a discussion. Now there is sound reason as to why it doesn't make sense to assume someone else's identity instead of simply being who you are. My arguement was and remains, "No matter where I go, I am there."

Joe Law will see to it now since policing oneself doesn't seem to work. Just what we all need; Joe Law's cyber involvement---NOT!

Theoretically, the three-judge panel could hold the governor, the named public officials and the state in contempt of court," says ABC7 legal analyst Dean Johnson.
=================================================

That's only theoretically speaking. Politically, I'm sure that the three judges have enough sense to stand on the written law versus the spirit of the law as cannon law encourages.

However, overcrowding has been an issue for years and years. The Feds and State grand poobahs simply ship the prisoners to another state that can and will hold the inmates temporarily until whenever. It's a common practice. Families are up at arms continually due to not knowing where their loved one is or if they'll even receive a notice and hope that the inmate's canteen money gets transferred along with the inmate.

It's crazy and has been for years. Do yourself a favor and don't romance the system. Once you're in, it's extremely hard to get out of it.

"You can ban rescission," Buntin said, "but what we really want is a system under which insurers' incentives are aligned with treating all of their patients well, whether they're sick or healthy."

For those looking at the big decision Fred Chamberlin explains the new regulations that govern consumer rights and Truth in Lending.

  "And so, we seem to have reached that stage where state violence has become its own raison d^etre. Social and economic problems are no longer considered within the sphere of authority of legislative bodies; congress is too slow to act when "we need action, now!," and so the president or governor takes over and appoints without anyone else's approval "czars" to rule over various realms of human activity. My thesaurus advises me that synonyms for "czar" include "despot," "tyrant," "dictator," "slave driver," "duce," "oppressor," and "Furhrer." One news report informs us that some thirty-two "czars" have been appointed in a number of states."

If suddenly half your workforce is out sick and you are a major IT services company and obliged to deliver certain service levels then you might invoke the clause," he said. "It becomes even more difficult because probably your customer is operating with staff working from home.

McIlwaine said that there are no examples of companies going to court to enforce force majeure clauses in relation to plagues or illnesses, but that most cases are settled out of court.

The swine flue illness is already reported to be disrupting business. A Google call centre in Hyderaba in India was shut down last week and 100 workers sent home after one tested positive for the illness."

From the page: "But Sen. Sam Aanestad, an oral surgeon and Republican from Grass Valley, says prescriptions would boost the cost of a $4 bottle of nose spray to $40 or $50. He would rather limit the amount of medication one person can buy."

"A 22-10 vote Tuesday sent the bill to the Assembly."

With no disrespect intended against Sen. Wright but I think he may have either bumped his head or just simply out of touch with reality for a handful of decades.
