So what'd you guys do this week? Our week was pretty quiet, just another typical nice April week. Oh who are we kidding, we can't even think of a joke to go with that. ANYWAY, let us have some Nice Time. Remember Bill Iffrig, the 78-year-old fellow who
That's what Miranda does: renders inadmissible any evidence you obtain by interrogating the suspect prior to advising him of his rights.
No relevance whatsoever to methods of interrogation -- those are governed by other rules. My bet, now that the older brother is dead, is that the kid willingly spills his guts.
About twelve years ago, I tried running a 10K race after many years of non-running and weight-gaining. Afterwards, I was whining about being passed in the final hundred yards by a guy in his 70s. A woman friend said, "Well, would you have felt better if you could have said, 'I kicked his ass!'?"
Lindsey Graham wasn't facing re-election is one of those periodic moments of optimism. It's ill-founded optimism, but I take what I can get.
Hate to bring down the general good cheer here, but the gummint says Tsarnaev&#039;s Miranada rights are suspended, because, shit, this is important! <a href="http:\/\/www.slate.com\/articles\/news_and_politics\/jurisprudence\/2013\/04\/dzhokhar_tsarnaev_and_miranda_rights_the_public_safety_exception_and_terrorism.html" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/j...">http://www.slate.com/articl...
As the indispensible and adorable Emily Bazelon puts it, <blockquote>There won&rsquo;t be a public uproar. Whatever the FBI learns will be secret: We won&rsquo;t know how far the interrogation went. And besides, no one is crying over the rights of the young man who is accused of killing innocent people, helping his brother set off bombs that were loaded to maim, and terrorizing Boston Thursday night and Friday. But the next time you read about an abusive interrogation, or a wrongful conviction that resulted from a false confession, think about why we have Miranda in the first place. It&rsquo;s to stop law enforcement authorities from committing abuses. Because when they can make their own rules, sometime, somewhere, they inevitably will.</blockquote>

This reminds me that I&#039;d better get the fuck outside and start cleaning up my lot for fire hazard, before it gets hot.
Sounds like an old Bud Light commercial.
Suck it, Chuck Norris.

Good story. I just wish Anderson Cooper would find a real network to work for.
Thanks Rebecca for sharing this. Members of my organization including myself have been in West, Texas this week dealing with that tragedy.
He is a retired carpenter. LIKE JESUS.
Of course, Jesus didn&#039;t get to retirement age...
Chances are he&#039;s never heard of the SI Cover Jinx, so he&#039;ll be just fine...

I can&#039;t run a block and couldn&#039;t <b>walk</b> a marathon in less than a week and I&#039;m 59.
