Ummm, Helloooo...has anyone in the statehouse ever actually read the constitution? I'm about as conservative as you get, but Federal law TRUMPS state law! This battle needs to be fought on Capital Hill, not in the state house. Stop wasting your time and my money on bills that are unenforcible.
I'm not a legal scholar, but it seems to me that leaving out increased penalties for those who would commit gun violence is missing the mark, and that it should be a priority of "gun legislation".
The trouble is with the whole system, from not enough police, to not enough prosecutors, and public defenders which most of these schmucks have for attorneys, to too bogged down a court system due to not enough judges and too few prisons to put these offenders in for extended periods of time! (forgive my run on sentence) No one, including me wants higher taxes, but prisons don't build themselves and they are expensive to staff and run. So, we are stuck with deferred prosecitions, deferred prison sentences, and early release programs.
I beg your PARDON? So, we are to believe that the jury of 12, the several judges plus the appellate courts who have heard and studied this case, have ALL come to the same WRONG conclusion? NO DNA ties Feguson to the case. Is it possible that other than the obvious DNA of the victim at the scene that NO other DNA found at the scene to either incriminate or exclude Ferguson as a suspect? Rather a pointless point! And Erickson, the self proclaimed liar is NOW telling the truth? Or should we base Ferguson's inocense on the night janitor who claims to have seen Erickson and Ferguson at the scene was actually coerced by the prosecutor to identify them. Since he has a seemingly sketchy and questionable background and prison record, he wouldn't have a "bone to pick" with a prosecutor would he? Or should we rely on the TV series telling the Ryan Ferguson story and their account of a week or more long trial in 30 some minutes of actual air time. I'm certain they told the whle story leaving nothing out such as the cross examination of the "new witnesss" or "new information." Ya know something? Sometimes bad people come from good families. Sometimes kids disapoint parents. And sometimes you even feel sorry for them. But that doesn't excuse their actions, nore does it call for a pardon, even if you have someone to tell JUST YOUR SIDE of the story.
JCLifer, Pardon my inability to comprehend true meaning of your initial writing. It was presumptuous on my part to read your response to the article as a diatribe, however you must admit that only metioning 12 jurors instead of 100 was a bit misleading. And of course I should not have read into the "commissioner's brother" comment either. I hope your day gets better. By the way it's JVicors, not Jvictors. ciao

That begs the question; Is one required to submit to being fingerprinted if not arrested? I'd have to decline, just as I would a field sobriety test.
