Sorry - Remembered an errand I needed to run before husband got home.....

Dog - That was a fascinating interview!

I know, I know you 2. Those specific cases are horrible, incomprehensible to people like you and me!

I'm talking about the general principle of intent in the law..

More specific factors are the various local statutes, prosecution and the judges...

Think about this: The past few years has seen a much harder line taken against drunk drivers and any fatalities they cause.

The law was responsive to changing attitudes.

We have an epidemic in n.e. Ohio the past few years of boyfriends shaking their girlfriends' babies to death.

Over time, statutes, judges, juries have held these men to greater and greater accountability.

The same thing may very well happen with these poor children left to roast in hot cars.

You may want to investigate the situation where you are and seek some changes...

Leaving for Maine early, early, early tomorrow and will be out of touch until after the 26th. So, Molly, when you wonder where I am, I'll be in Maine playing with my grandkiddos.

And since I hate flying, any travel prayers anyone would like to extend tomorrow would be gratefully accepted.
