turning human tragedy into an attempt to smear the wife of someone you don't like:thumbs:

Your point would be better made if you'd wait until she's charged. If she's charged that is.

Oh no Mike, he couldn't possibly be referring to the wife of our president. In the thread where that was being discussed, dharma left after saying he was through arguing that point. ;)

California was a completely different entitity in 1963, just as Texas was. Stop trying to make something out of nothing.

"A different entity"???
That is a very odd claim. Care to explain?
Was California's constitution rewritten since then or something?

There weren't as many people, there weren't as many lawyers, the population wasn't quite as litigious as they are today, yeah, pretty much everything was different. Are you old enough to remember that far back?

Nope, 1963 is well before my time.

then why did you put it under world news instead of politics:slap:

Probably because he thinks anything he says is World News.;)

Funny how Texas is targetted both for being too harsh and too lenient. Both categories of critics are ignorant IMO.

P.S. In Texas, we call it "criminally negligent homicide," it's a felony offense, and I would bet my savings that it didn't exist in 1963.

Interesting point Leper.

I believe the charge they are contemplating in this case is a misdemeanor.
