Mind Bursts

  • The Giants gave Eli Manning $35 million in guaranteed money this morning. And I'd take Romo before I'd take him.
  • The jury in the Failure To Register case in Decatur deliberated most of the morning and then took a lunch break. They did send a note out asking for the judge to define "reasonable doubt."
  • I got in a discussion this morning with our County Attorney over whether we should fear someone driving down the road with a blood alcohol concentration of twice the legal limit IF there is no evidence being present that shows he is impaired mentally or physically. Me: No. Him: Absolutely.
  • Jennifer Lopez still has a booty.
Edit: The jury found him guilty on one count but not guilty on the other (which is weird, but beside the point). They are not deliberating between 2 and 20 years in prison. His prior felony conviction prevents him from receiving probation from a jury. Edit: After 10 minutes of deliberations, the sentence was the 2 year minimum. It looks like his prior case was consensual sex with a 16 year old when he was in his early twenties (two times, two convictions), and he received a 5 year sentence on that case. Two years seems reasonable in light of that. And I've heard that the plea bargain offer on the Failure to Register case was 5 years.
