The state has spent more than $200,000 to educate a suspect to stand trial in a slaying that still reverberates in the lives of the victim's friends.

JAMES CITY -- Two years after Brittany Binger's death, a simple memorial still stands at the entrance of Whispering Pines Mobile Home Court.

A murderer plays dumb and scams the system.

The justice system in this country is a joke. Murderers receive better treatment than Terri Schiavo did and that's just fine. I don't think its right.

Ol' Oswaldo does understand that Virginia has the death penalty.

He'd been arrested once before for DUI. The arresting officer stated that Oswaldo had no problemo speaking English then.

So , in the meantime, this SOB is laying around watching reruns of "Law and Order" and laughing at the stupid gringos.

"Time has been tough on her friends and on the investigators tasked with solving her killing. The man charged in the case - an illegal immigrant who can't hear or speak - sits in Western State Hospital, a mental hospital in Staunton, after being found incompetent to stand trial until he learns enough language to communicate with his lawyers.

So far, the state of Virginia has spent nearly $265,000 providing the sign-language instruction that he never got as a child in El Salvador."

....and Bush and his weak-kneed Congressional Repubs want comprehensive immigration reform?

How much American blood must be spilled before Bush realizes he's turning us into Eloi?

We're providing an illegal alien with an education? Just doing a job the Salvadorans wouldn't do.

"Justice delayed is justice denied." And that sure seems true in this case.
