Those Crazy Aggies

There is no audio to this, but the clip from the Tech game this weekend is burning up the Internet.

Speaking Of Death

Wise County has been lucky. While I was DA (1993-2000), there was not a single crime committed in the county that would have made a person eligible for the death penalty. And in the six years that I have left, that hasn't changed. (If you are interested in what crimes can cause a person to get the needle in Texas, check here.)

No "Do Overs" In Death Penalty Cases

There will be an article tomorrow about some guy on death row named Toney who was sentenced to death for a Lake Worth bombing that killed three people. I thought that name sounded familiar. Over seven years ago (right when the case was prosecuted), I fired off in a Skattershooting that I was surprised the Tarrant County D.A.'s office was able to convict him. Now it looks like he might not be guilty of the offense at all.

Uh, No

This guy must have seen this (PG-13) picture of a gal who had the idea first. What a great idea he thought she had.

Who says . . .

. . . that colleges and universities are the bastion of liberalism?

I Don't Know

Face Stomp

Re: Titans' defense tackle Albert Haynesworth (92, left) stomping on the head of Cowboys' guard Andre Gurode. The act and the resulting injury was worse than about 99% of the misdemeanor assaults I handle and probably worse than 80% of the aggravated assaults I have had on my docket over the years. Still, it just seems odd to the cops involved like a ton of people want. (And somebody got to Haynesworth quickly after the game because he was saying ALL the right things in the post game interview.) By the way, the youtube.com video of the incident is here. Edit: That earned him a five game suspension.

This Explains Why People Get So Mad At Me In The Comments

Random news

But I just read something about six three people being dead in an Amish school.

A school shooting is bad enough but the Amish factor takes it to a new level of darkness.

Although that Bill Murray - Woody Harrelson bowling movie won't leave my brain, now.

Cutting edge

Now I sit in an administrative hearing courtroom in Fort Worth trying to save a guy's driver's license. This is my view from the fourth floor.

I don't think I've ever seen anything as exciting as this on Law ans Order.

As I sit in the district courtroom in Decatur listening to about ten lawyers argue pre-trial motions in some wrongful death case, I'm thankful that I gave up that area of law about 16 years ago.

Rehab: The New Apology

My Favorite Football Week Of The Year

I was in attendance when Roy Williams attacked Chris Simms' spleen a few years ago.

Weather

According to the always accurate TV weather-people, it's going to be in the 90s for at least the next seven days. Defeating.

TATU (I Know One Of Their Songs) . . .

. . . is on the cover of the Russian GQ. I'm more amazed that Russia has a GQ.

Obscure

If you're the kind of guy (or girl) that would read a story about high school football in another state, then you should click on this. (Hint: a guy ran for more yards in one game than Bridgeport probably has all year.)
