I dont neccessary agree or with capital punishment but to inseminate yourself to avoid death is dispicable. So you gonna have a baby in jail or on parole(assuming she doesnt have an abortion) then what are u gonna tell the child? I hate to pass judgment but she deserves whatever the law extends.sungodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408857869513912429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-62341473021475770702009-06-04T07:02:48.405-07:002009-06-04T07:02:48.405-07:00People have to be very aware of the peculiarities ...People have to be very aware of the peculiarities of the countries they visit, and not assume that they are exempt from corruption, or law enforcement. <br /><br />Whether due to racism or not, I'd never visit these bastions of paradise, since they'd probably assume I'm a drug runner based on appearance alone.

However, I doubt Laos is alone with an imbalanced "justice" system. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.law.northwestern.edu/wrongfulconvictions/exonerations/txtuliasummary.html" rel="nofollow">I can recall an excellent expose about Tulia, Texas</a>, where one man falsified evidence to get as many people, mostly black, in one town into jail due to our absurd and draconian drug laws. I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg regarding drug (and death row) cases around the country.GoldenAhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928138252968831618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-21080115006360564212009-06-03T22:37:47.826-07:002009-06-03T22:37:47.826-07:00I'm afraid I am cynical enough these days abou...I'm afraid I am cynical enough these days about plea bargaining that I don't take a plea bargained guilty plea as conclusive proof of guilt.
