Why America cant catch him. Coz When Saddam Hussan Run away they catch him within one month or so. But when it comes to Usama they are still searching him.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - A man who implicated two friends in the 1975 murder that sent Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel to prison has invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, his attorney and a prosecutor told The Associated Press Thursday.
ADVERTISEMENT

Gitano "Tony" Bryant declined to testify at his deposition last week in Miami and does not plan to testify at upcoming hearings on whether Skakel deserves a new trial, said Joel Denaro, his attorney.

"After advice of counsel, Mr. Bryant has exercised his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent," Denaro said. "We'll be taking the Fifth Amendment in any and all proceedings."

Bryant's move could complicate Skakel's efforts to win a new trial. Skakel is serving 20 years to life in prison after he was convicted in 2002 of bludgeoning neighbor Martha Moxley to death with a golf club when they were teenagers in wealthy Greenwich.

"What it strongly suggests to us is that Mr. Bryant's story is a fabrication and he is seeking to avoid testifying under oath for that reason," Prosecutor Jonathan Benedict said.

Skakel's attorneys plan to file a motion seeking to compel Bryant to testify, Benedict said. Calls seeking comment from Skakel's attorneys were not immediately returned.

Denaro would not comment on whether Bryant stands by his account.

Skakel, a nephew of Ethel Kennedy, is seeking a new trial based on a claim by Bryant that two of his friends may have killed Moxley. One of the men, Adolph Hasbrouck, earlier exercised his Fifth Amendment right. Skakel's attorneys identified the other as Burt Tinsley of Portland, Ore.

Neither of the identified men has returned repeated telephone calls. Hasbrouck's wife, who declined to give her name, said at the couple's home recently that the allegation was "a lie."

"He didn't do anything. My husband is a good man," she said.

Bryant attended private school with Skakel when they were teenagers. His allegation surfaced in 2003, a year after Skakel was convicted of killing Moxley in their gated neighborhood in Greenwich when they were both 15.

According to Skakel's attorneys, Bryant said he was with two friends from New York in that neighborhood the night Moxley was killed. According to court papers, Bryant said one friend had met Moxley and "wanted to go caveman on her," and that after he left them that night, they later told him, "We did what we had to do."

The petition for a new trial is separate from an appeal Skakel lost before the Connecticut Supreme Court earlier this year that argued, among other issues, that the five-year statute of limitations had expired when he was charged in 2000. Skakel's attorneys have taken that issue to the
U.S. Supreme Court.

Do you believe that they are grasping at straws because so many people (including Red State thinkers) are finally beginning to understand what the Bush administration is actually worth?

think it's okay to tell parents how to raise their children?
This is just the way it seems to me. Is it perhaps because both conservatives AND liberals have a tendency of being hypocritical?
What I'm asking is, why is it NOT okay for the government to interfere in what two consenting adults do in their bedroom, but it IS okay for the government to take children away from their parents, just because their parents spanked them?
I don't understand this. Why aren't more people outraged over the government interfering?
I'm not talking about children who are in truly abusive situations. I'm talking about the parents who have lost their children, just because they chose to discipline them.
Did you know that in many states, if someone calls CPS on someone, it stays on the person's record PERMANENTLY? And then if they're reported again, their kids are taken from them?
I had a friend who lost her kids the FIRST time she was reported.
Is this fair?

how can the present state of affairs, vis-avis your country's relationships with most of nations on earth, be okay with you guys.what happened to the ideals behind the Declaration of Independence, to civil liberties; to everything you folks fought to achieve when you seceded from Britain;; do you realise that most of the world sees your country as the modern Rome, the inheritors to British hegemony. I wish we outside your country heard more from you folks. I gotta tell you, on paper you seem to be the best the planet could hope for but it sure gets lost in translation

Hispanics should all go back to Spain, where they are from.

No blacks, hispanics, asians or whites allowed, only native ('indians' - no, not those from India) people get to stay.

Illegal alien charged in vehicular homicide
Alcohol suspected in crash that killed 18-year-old

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another illegal alien, suspected of being intoxicated, has been charged with vehicular homicide in the death of an 18-year-old Tennessee man.

Luis Oscar Garcia, 24, a Mexican who had been living in the U.S. without a green card for three years, was ordered held without bail this week on the vehicular homicide charge as well as driving under the influence.

The victim in the crash was James F. Rogers Jr. of North Jackson, Tenn.


A preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 7, and it is likely Garcia, who speaks little English, will use a court-appointed attorney for his defense.

According to the Jackson Sun, Garcia's 1995 Chevy S-10 pickup ran a red light while traveling north on the U.S. 45 Bypass at Oil Well Road about 2 a.m. Saturday. He slammed into the '95 Honda Civic that Rogers was driving westbound on Oil Well.

Police said Garcia had a strong odor of alcohol on his person and that his pants were soaked with a liquid that indicated the presence of alcohol. There also were two beer bottles, one partially filled, in the truck at the time of the accident, police said.

In addition to the vehicular homicide and DUI charges, Garcia faces counts of driving without a license, registration or proof of insurance. When police did a check on his license plate, it did not come back under his name, the report said.

As WND reported, illegal aliens – mostly driving unregistered and uninsured and without valid licenses – are causing mayhem on America's highways.

While no one – in or out of government – tracks traffic accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year's 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens.

A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers.

Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked – and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers.

In addition, the states with the most illegal aliens also have the most unlicensed drivers. Those states are also in the lead for the most hit-and-run accidents, according to reports issued by the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and the Pew Hispanic Center. California ranks at the top with 24.1 percent of the known 11.1 million illegal aliens.

America we think we are the best in the World. We're caged community, we always depend on the so-called World News Networking, CNN, etc. These are not reliable and do not bring us the real picture of the world so we can relate to them. These media works for only certain people that used for their propaganda. So lets find ALTERNATIVE MEDIA, such the BBC. So we can find ways we can RELATE TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. Remember, America isolated itself from the rest, not because of collective way but certain people did benefit that isolation.

My b/f is 18 years old and from Nebraska, where the law says you have to be 19 to be an adult. When he was a bit younger he stole from stores and stuff... he wound up on house arrest and had ran away a few times but came back... when he left he had like 2 months left of it. He left with me to Kansas, he thought hed be okay or whatever but yeah he got pulled over here and they sent him back to NEbraska to goto jail now. Im thinking he wont get out for a while atleast until hes 19 which is about 10 months. I really dont wanna wait that long because he has a job and stuff here in Kansas already and I dont want him to loose all that.

His friend had ran away on house arrest too and had punched a cop on the way out but he turned himself in and I heard he only has 2 wks in jail which is odd...

How long do you think my bf will be in jail.... how much do you think bail will be? And how exactly does that 10% bondsman thing work?

In the US, Arabs/Muslims are terrorosts, liberals have bleeding hearts and are mindless tree-huggers. Homosexuals will burn in Hell, Mexicans are scurvy little monsters. The Bush administration is fighting the noble cause of freedom; Bush, himself is a superhero. Anyone who believes that Arabs or Muslims have any legitimate grievances are terrorists, themselves. Anyone who speaks out against the Bush administration is seditious. Oh, yes, about abortion, these women should give birth to these unwanted children who will remain in the system unloved and uncared for.
