News & Events - October 2007

Couldn't it be easy to say that the most horrible criminals out there are insane? A woman who cuts a baby out of a womb, anyone the murders someone just because they want to kill someone but most of all pedophiles. It must take a really insane mind to want to have sex with a child or touch a child sexually? I would guess to say that person is mentally ill. It seems most of the time when a parent kills their child it is an insanity plea to? Insane or not don't you think Insane people deserve same punishment as sane? Get them on meds yes while in prison. I know alot of people that have mental illness but still no right from wrong. Does anyone else feel the insanity plea is abused and they deserve the same sentence regardless of their mental state? I am not talking about developmentally disabled individuals I am talking about people with mental illness. They can easily get out of prison and go off their meds and do it again.

A woman accused of killing a pregnant woman and stealing the baby from the victim's womb is going on trial in the United States.

On trial: Lisa Montgomery 39, is charged with the kidnapping and resulting death of Bobbie Jo Stinnett.

It is alleged Montgomery strangled Ms Stinnett, 23, and used a kitchen knife to cut the baby from her womb and take her as her own.

The baby, Victoria Jo Stinnett, survived the attack in December 2004 in Kansas City, Missouri.

It is believed the accused was nine months into a fake pregnancy and was desperate for a baby because her family were asking questions about her pregnancy.

Montgomery has pleaded not guilty and her lawyers have said they plan to use insanity as a defence.

A doctor can refuse a patient treatment,if he or she is a smoker,or overweight.the G.M.C recently stated that no patient can be refused treatment because of their lifestyle.Does this mean that if you are refused treatment the doctor can be reported,and possibly struck off?

I'm posting this for information more than anything else. So far it's mainly been major contributors that have been the target of lawsuits by the music industry. Thursday a jury found in favor of the recording industry against a single mom for a total of 24 songs.

I'm not making any kind of judgment, but I think this is something you sould be aware of if you download music, movies, and/or software. Not just because of the target but because the lawsuit was successful which may result in more lawsuits against small time users/contributors.

We read that the Portuguese Policeman who was 2nd in command of the McCann case has effectively quit. ill this mean that the Portuguese will decide to give up on the case and let the McCanns off the hook. 'Victory' for the McTeam, 'Victory' for the McFanns, but a great injustice of our time, and no justice for Madeleine.

If you a wealthy enough, and have wealthy backers can you buy your way out of justice ? is this going to turn out one of the great injustices of our time ?

Stike action again!

My husband was a postal worker for 13 years so I feel have some authority on this. He too was caught up in the strike action and was pressured into striking against his will, (for fear of repurcussions), he left, and still it goes on....

It is crippling small businesses, important post is not reaching people on deadlines, people who have used special or recorded delivery have wasted their money, and when they return to work they are only going to have to clear up the devastation they have caused.

Strike action achieves nothing and I fear will only split the countries support and turn a large majority of us against the workers.

Do the people of America care about the innocent people dying everyday in a country so far away, where the devil rides on horseback points a gun at their heads, BAM their dead, another man is gone, the woman raped, aid workers killed who only want to help them too, when will it end this massacre, people of America when will you step in?
