Robinson served a year in prison and was forced to give up custody of her other child. Smith has since been exposed as a fraud. Robinson was finally exonerated this week by a court...

My fellow WordPress blogger, Jonathan Turley has posted the story, a story that places like Waiter’s Rant have already covered: http://waiterrant.net/?p=1564 http://jonathanturley.org/2009/11/19/lehigh-students-arrested-for-failing-to-leave-tip/#comment-92031 There are some interesting comments on both sites.

Crimes came first Daniel Lippman - Great Barrington, Mass. Although commentary writer Jonathan Turley makes some good points in his piece "Shaming undermines justice," he leaves out an important aspect of the issue: If people don't commit crimes, then there...

Even more damaging, prominent legal scholar Jonathan Turley says, was Holder's statement indicating the trial was being held in New York for symbolic reasons. "Those are highly prejudicial statements and they further show a motivation in locating the trial in this particular venue," said Turley, who has worked on...

A commenter on Jonathan Turley's blog (scroll way down to Nov. 16th, a comment by Vince Treacy) pointed this out and it looks like he's right.

Jonathan Turley is an attorney, so it would be nice if he understood the response to his concern is already out there. Denying children critical care may be divinely ordained for some parents, but it should not be countenanced by the legal system. Until courts refuse to accept religion as a mitigating factor in sentencing in such cases, children will continue to die, neglected as an article...
