hmmm not too sure... his first album titled 'Blowout Comb' was awesome but he is also a keen musician in which he took after his father but as an emcee very solid artist...\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1846, Dred Scott and his wife Harriet filed suit for their freedom in the St. Louis Circuit Court. This suit began an eleven-year legal fight that ended in the U.S. Supreme Court, which issued a landmark decision declaring that Scott remain a slave. This decision contributed to rising tensions between the free and slave states just before the American Civil War.\n\nThe records displayed in this exhibit document the Scotts' early struggle to gain their freedom through litigation and are the only extant records of this significant case as it was heard in the St. Louis Circuit Court.

On the heels of the Rodney King riots. The DA was ordered by the mayor to lose the case.  That is why they had inexperenced lawyers trying the case. OJ Simpson indeed lives a charmed life.

Jurors found Scott Peterson guilty of first-degree murder in the slaying of his pregnant wife, Laci, and of second-degree murder in the death of his unborn son, Conner. The conviction means Peterson will face the death penalty.

Who really knows.  With all the arrests (and susbsequent releases) surrounding the case, too much false hope has been given to the public, to the police, and most importantly, to the family.\n\nThis was a horrible incident, and I for one have learned to NEVER, EVER visit Aruba.  The Dutch justice system isn't working there.

Southwind gives good advise and I must restate some that has already been said.  First, talk to an attorney.  If the husband talks to the DA’s office, they will likely not do anything to him.  When I investigated similar crimes, we were trained to use two major criteria.  1. Did he take part in committing the crime?  2. Did he knowingly benefit from the crime?  If the answer is YES to either question, we would “consider” accessory charges as an option.  However, even we would go to the DA’s office for advice.  We were not lawyers so we would ask the people who would be prosecuting the case if we were proceeding correctly for a conviction.  \n\nState laws differ from state to state and I can only speak of the state I was in (Oklahoma), but I was told specifically by an attorney in the DA’s office that with one exception, it was not a crime to have knowledge of a crime.  That one exception was child abuse/endangerment.  I specifically asked about murder/homicide.  I was told “no,” knowledge of murder/homicide was not a crime.  So, I’m sure you see the fine line they must walk in this case.  If the husband comes out and points the finger with proof, he will likely not be punished if he was not involved.  \n\nOne last note before someone mentions the issue of a spouse bearing witness against a spouse.  The law in most states is that a spouse can not be “compelled” to bear witness.  Voluntary testimony is completely admissible.  \n\nBest of luck to your friend and again, CALL AN ATTORNEY.

Unbelievable that no one was charged. Fault was ultimately determined in the 3 million dollar settlement ... a poor substitute for a son. And the Street Crimes Unit was disbanded - isn't that an indictment? With this outcome, how can anyone say there was no one at fault?

Richard Lyle Austin was arrested in South Dakota for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute on 02 August 1990. He pled guilty, and on 07 September 1990, authorities seized the mobile home and the body shop owned by Austin as both locations were used by Austin in the deal. Austin filed a suit claiming the seizures violated his 8th Amendment rights vis a vis the Excessive Fines Clause.\n\nThe following is a cut and paste job from http://www.druglibrary.org/Schaffer/legal/l1990/richard_lyle_austin.htm\n\nAfter a state court sentenced petitioner Austin on his guilty plea to one count of possessing cocaine with intent to distribute in violation of South Dakota law, the United States filed an in rem action in Federal District Court against his mobile home and auto body shop under 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(4) and (a)(7), which provide for the forfeiture of, respectively, vehicles and real property used, or intended to be used, to facilitate the commission of certain drug related crimes. In granting the Government summary judgment on the basis of an officer's affidavit that Austin had brought two ounces of cocaine from the mobile home to the body shop in order to consummate a prearranged sale there, the court rejected Austin's argument that forfeiture of his properties would violate the Eighth Amendment's Excessive Fines Clause. The Court of Appeals affirmed, agreeing with the Government that the Eighth Amendment is inapplicable to in rem civil forfeitures.

Ok I have changed my mind I love C.A.I.R. Today they put out a 5000$reward relating for the conviction of the person who burned my sisters mini-van.  The police refused to do anything about it.  And they are pushing for us when no one else noticed.  Check it out on the web site.

Hi, Why must we have to endure anymore of OJ's narcissistic behavior?  Has anyone put any thought into what this must be doing emotionally to Nicole and Ron's families, not to mention what it is doing to his children.  I feel like OJ, besides killing Ron and Nicole, has raped the justice system and now he is raping the public.  Shame on Fox TV for airing such a show.  Shame on book publishers for publishing such trash, and shame on the American public for watching this show or buying this book.  I can't believe how low some people will stoop for a dollar.  Let's put OJ where he belongs, into obscurity, which for a narcissist is worse than prison, and ban the book and TV show. Kim Goldman(Ron's sister) has a website you can go to and sign a petition that will be given to officials at Fox and Harper-Collins Publishers to urge them to not air the show or sell the book. The website is:   http://dontpayoj.com

I find it interesting that this has come up in the last few days, considering my roomate had just found Ben's website yesterday and sent me the link. First thing, he wasnt a man, he was a BOY who had been medicated with a drug whose long term effects on minors was not known at the time.I dated him about 6 months before his initial hospitalization,and dont get me wrong, he was a troubled kid, very sensitive to bad things in his life, but never aggresive towards me or others.\n I saw him the July before the murder at the park, this was after some extended time at Shepperd Pratt.....and he was completely off of his rocker...did the TRIPLE dosage of prozac affect this, absolutely. Was his judgment clouded that night, of course! Does it excuse what he did, not totally. He should have to serve time for his crime, but did he deserve life with no parole at 16 years of age? I know for sure...the whole situation breaks my heart. A life lost, a child without a mother, and a brilliant soul who couldnt see beyond his troubled youth,his life wasted behind bars.

My understanding is that it is part of an ongoing offensive against corruption in Illinois. Ryan isn't the only person caught up in it. Mayor Daley's former patronage chief faces trial shortly along with three colleagues. My understanding is that it isn't related to capital punishment.

Congressman Tancredo is going to hold hearings on this, so I assume we will all hear more about it.  I think it is disturbing it was kept so secret here.  Apparently in Canada it isn't a secret at all.  They post the working group identities on their governmental web page.

you are in denial.   of course he did it.    post the details of his crime.  if you refuse to do so it proves my point.and by the way, unless he is on death row the innocence project won't return your phone call.
