| 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". |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
