Guilty verdicts drop in triplicate
I'm not as familiar with the case as are others, but Perry March was found guilty today of trying to arrange for the murder of his former in-laws. (HT: Abramson)
Next up, former Sen. Roscoe Dixon of Memphis was found guilty on 5 counts of bribery and related charges resulting from the Waltz. I warrant that Sen. Ward Crutchfield just got really nervous, if he hadn't already been. In a related story, it seems that another former Senator, John Ford of Memphis, has been engaging in a little jury-pool-tainting of late.
Finally, closer to home, a Chattanooga jury found Nicholas Hilt guilty of beating, raping, and murdering a 5-year-old boy. I am staunchly against the death penalty, for a whole variety of reasons, but cases like this one allow me to experience the emotion behind the opposing argument -- in other words, I see where y'all are coming from. The prosecution was smart, though, for concentrating on getting this sicko put away quickly, for life.
