Random shots around the web:
Matt Brown has a lot more background information about the cop who shot a surrendering man in the back and about the leadership in Pinal County that make it likely he’ll get away with it.
Norm DeGuerre has a very good essay describing the mismatch between how the justice system works and how real people live their lives.
Gideon notes that prosecutors aren’t always as pro-victim’s rights as they say.
The appellatesquack has a great post about fake peer-reviewed journals. His post is based on a Science magazine article that is itself a great read if you’re into that sort of thing. At times it’s pretty snarky for a science article:
After months of e-mailing the editors of SAP, I finally received a response. Someone named Charles Duke reiterated—in broken English—that SAP is an American publisher based in California. His e-mail arrived at 3 a.m., Eastern time.
I’m pretty sure everybody inside the Beltway sees themselves this way. Non-ironically.
