Random Friday Morning Thoughts




And the defense attorneys were right: He was released on parole six days later. Still a genius move that caught the D.A. completely off guard . (Here's a very deep dive on the case from Slate.)

  • Regarding Cowboys' kicker Brandon Aubrey who is sitting on a jury in criminal trial in Tarrant County, one faithful reader pointed out that one of the defense lawyers, Robert Keating, graduated from Decatur High School in 1988.
    • Side note: In looking at other parts of the Tarrant County "trial board", I saw three not guilty verdicts this week. One of them in a murder case. 

  • If I ever get convicted of anything, I hope Netflix does a documentary so I can ultimately be set free. 

  • The Wall Street Journal has a revelation which should come as no surprise at all.

  • The amount of money that DPS troopers have been paid as overtime as part of this is insane. 

  • Israel continues its random bombings.


  • Our Wise County Judge, J.D. Clark, has released a new single today.  (Spotify link.)
  • Trump rallies:
    • Last night. It's such a strange strategy to bad mouth America.

    • Just incredible. (From the Turning Point rally two days ago.)

  • Kamala Harris rallies: Beyonce today. Springsteen last night.

     



  •  Rupert Murdoch's paper endorses Trump today. No surprise.

    • Flashback:

  • The "very private" Dak Prescott continues to beat me down. He has a photographer at his engagement proposal, splashes it on Instagram last week, and now gives interviews about it. All while earning $60 million a year as a season collapses around him.


  • If you are a high school football fan, you won't believe the ending of an overtime game last night at The Star. Video.
  • Time which has passed since the Wise County Sheriff's Office, despite having a full male DNA profile, has failed to solve the murder of Lauren Whitener in her home at Lake Bridgeport: 5 years and 112 days.
