That has to be awkward and take special kind of selfishness.
"Uh seeing that you wont be around anymore do you mind if I take your X BOX? Thanks!"
Seriously.

re: Mary and the 10-20 years comment
10-20 is typical sentencing for second degree murder, or, non premeditated murder.

I just couldn't resist jumping in here at this point to say, Pax, you have a big nose. A ****ing honker, dude. Whoa. the tapu
Where in the hell is Sam getting the idea he may get 10 to 20, I am sure Mary didnt make that up and so Sam must have some basis for making that comment, could a plea deal be on the table?
If the state is seriously offering 10 to 20 then this whole thing went down in such a way that we are not even close in our theories.
Mr. Fore is a very intelligent individual admired by most in our community. He has served our small community, and our huge nation. Mr. Fore is a retired Army General. Ask him about war, blood and guts. He gave it all for you and me.Those that have been following both the semiotics discussion regarding the meaning of words and other symbols and the parallel discussion of race issues in Farmville might find this story and discussion interesting: http://www.topix.com/forum/city/farmville-va/TUJ070QP3JTN73F3O
Apparently some members of the Farmville city council are semioticians too.
ETA: actually its the board of supervisors....

OT but I gotta:
I certainly respect our men and women in uniform, served in the US Navy myself during the first Persian Gulf war, but after reading General Smedley S. Butler's work "War is a racket," I now think those wars are fought for someone other than "you and me."
Book is online here. Butler was a decorated military man who was once asked to lead a military coup and sieze the White House. That story is written in the book "The Plot to Seize the White House."

Interesting books!
BTW DM thanks for that link, lots of cool PDFs there, I didnt have this one before!
Indeed. I'm sure you've seen the documentary Why We Fight? If not I highly recommend it to everyone. Very disturbing but sometimes the truth hurts.
Amazon.com: Why We Fight: Gore Vidal, John McCain, Ken Adelman, John Ashcroft, Osama Bin Laden, George Bush, George W. Bush, Robert Byrd, Frank Capra, Dick Cheney, Joseph Cirincione, Bill Clinton, Eugene Jarecki, Alessandra Meyer, Hans Robert Eisenhauer, Julie Fischer, Mette Hoffman Meyer, Nick Fraser: Movies & TV
10 to 20? No Way. A local lawyer killed his wife. He got life. What do you think the commonwealth will do to Sam?

Thanks Andres. Maybe it's just my propensity toward a prosecutor's brain, but I can't find any mitigating factors here for second degree murder.
Virginia Code § 18.2-31

Can a defense of insanity allow a mitigation to second degree murder? Help a 1L sista out here.
