    | OK, so if a preponderance of the evidence says he's innocent of any wrongdoing, can somebody explain why the Coffee County Persecutor was trying to convict him of murder? |

    | Well Mickey, most likely because the  prosecutor in this case wasn't representing the State within the confines of the law as written, but rather as he, personally, would like it to be.  Too many judges and prosecutors have this mindset:  they are activists for specific political positions, not neutral functionaries.  After all, "shall not be infringed" has morphed into "may be infringed at the whim of politicians, prosecutors, and the courts". |

                      | And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms....The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.  — Thomas Jefferson in a letter to William S. Smith in 1787. Taken from Jefferson, On Democracy p. 20, S. Padover ed., 1939 |  |  |
