POPSMass. Court OKs $102 Million Wrongful-Conviction Award "While we reject its finding that the government is liable for malicious prosecution, we uphold the court's alternate finding that the government is liable for intentional infliction of emotional distress," the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said on Thursday. "We conclude that the awards, though high, are not so grossly disproportionate to the harm sustained as to either shock our collective conscience or raise the specter of a miscarriage of justice."

POPSA strange smell over Locherbie murders I am no legal expert but things about this case have never seemed answered to any thinking persons satisfaction. Get away from the revulsion and gut reactions for once and enquire of the evidence. It does not stack up and ought to be placed before a body independent enough to review it dispassionately. I make no judgments or other observations except that already mentioned.

POPSCongressman Threatens Rove with Jail For a better background on the Seigelman case than I can give in the limited space here, check this -- it's pretty thorough. Long story short, it was a gross miscarriage of justice and about as clearly illegal as is possible. Seigelman was a political prisoner of the United States, whose only real crime was being a Democratic Governor that the GOP "could not beat fair and square," according to a former Republican Attorney General of Arizona. In Rove's defense stands Bush's assertion that executive privilege lasts forever. It's looking more and more like that BS claim is going to be tested in court.

POPSGeorgia Woman Faces Eviction Because of Decades-Old Sex Act Funny, isn’t it, how we can have an administration that destroys our economic infrastructure and violates the Constitution and escapes punishment and accountability; yet, a woman who had oral sex with her boyfriend stands to lose everything because of a few moments of mutually consensual pleasure.

POPSLockerbie bomber wins legal ruling Al-Megrahi's lawyer welcomed the "important victory" for his client. Tony Kelly said afterwards: "It is a complete victory for the appellant's position before the court and a complete rejection of the Crown's argument. "The Crown employed lots of resources to try to restrict the court and they have been stopped in their tracks. It is an important victory for Mr Al Megrahi." Al-Megrahi's full appeal is unlikely to be heard until next year, but numerous procedural hearings in the case have already been held.

POPSLavena Johnson: murdered by her fellow soldiers, covered up by the army The take home lesson is that people will pay more attention to the cover-up of the killing of a white, male football star by his fellow soldiers more than they will a black, female soldier who gets raped, killed, and mutilaed by her fellow soldiers. This is is bad shit. We're talking <i>Titus Andronicus</i> bad. And the Army calls it a suicide. America, FUCK YEAH!

POPSPeace Loving Moslims Find Witch Guilty Evidently the Dark Ages have special significance to the peoples of Saudi Arabia. This latest tidbit chronicles the successful trial of an illiterate Saudi woman on charges of witchcraft. Witchcraft! And this is a civilized country? But hold on Westerners. How is this different from the still occurring practice of exorcism for demon possession? So put away your smugness. Although, I'll have to admit we've done away with the death penalty for demon possession. I suppose that's progress?

POPS Release Ramos And Compean Already!!! "Whole case was on this golden-star drug dealer who was a deal by the U.S. attorney's office", Poe said. "Given my background and experience as a prosecutor and judge, my conclusion is that when prosecutors make deals with criminals they usually get the testimony they want," he said. Two congressmen are calling for the immediate release of imprisoned Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean and a complete investigation of their prosecutor after the arrest last night of the drug smuggler at the center of the case. Reps. Ted Poe, R-Texas, and Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., say that with the arrest of Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, Congress and the attorney general should launch a full-scale review of U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton's prosecution of the border agents.

POPS"DON'T TASER ME BRO!" revisited...
(VIDEO) Freedom of Speech, was denied Andrew Meyer, and should not be swept under the rug. Police brutality in all its brazenness needs to be recognized. This was not just a standard procedure, the way some media outlets would like to paint it as. It was a blatant miscarriage of justice. This happens all to often and in most cases is not captured by film so the police misconduct and ruthless treatment by those who are paid to protect us goes on. The only possible winner in this loathsome show of coarseness may be, to keep the pressure on about how our election system is so full of holes, resulting in votes not being counted and citizens unlawfully banned from the polls. -- Greg Palast, Author - Armed Madhouse People ask me: Are they going to steal the 2008 election? No, they’ve already stolen the 2008 election. We still have a chance of swiping it back... I’ve expanded and put out the new edition of Armed Madhouse, to tell you how they will steal in 2008, and what to do about it.

POPSUK Kangaroo Court: show trail. Miscarriage of 'justice' Like the Birmingham Six where being Irish was the qualification for conviction, the same logic was applied here. Swap Arab for Irish. Guilt was not a consideration. Appeasing the public like in a life or death Roman coliseum game was the main consideration. Some family members of dead American passengers even campaigned against this man's trail! The real guilty party were not Libyan. The idea of locking up obviously innocent men as a deterrent as in Guantanamo may have germinated in British justice, forever besmirched with miscarriages of justice. We'll see if this one is put right. Better that guilty men go free....

POPS$1 million pledged to post bond for "sex offender" ilson, explaining why he and his friends were prepared to offer $1 million to a young Georgia man they had never met, said Wilson seemed to have overcome many obstacles in his life to achieve academic and athletic success. "He is the kind of young man we should be celebrating, not incarcerating," Tilson said. "And if you were to ask most men to go back and think of their teenage years and think of the most reckless and foolish thing they did, and then ask how they would feel if that was videotaped … I think there would be a little bit of fear among most of us." Wilson was convicted in 2005 of aggravated child molestation. The law then on the books required a minimum of 10 years in prison and a lifetime on the state's sex offender registry for an oral sex conviction, a penalty more severe than that for intercourse.

POPSA miscarriage of justice There was nothing objective or non-political about this trial. Even David Boise, attorney for Al Gore in 2000, sees it has a travesty of Justice.
