As it does each month when in session, the grand jury reported on conditions at the Mobile County Metro Jail, noting it was housing 986 inmates in a facility designed to hold 816.

I'm ashamed to say, but in my misspent youth I spent a couple nights in the Mobile county jail drunk tank. Terrible coffee....

The jury also announced that following its investigations into the deaths of two men killed by police last year, it found "no criminal liability on the part of the officers" in the shooting of Wayne Stewart, 41, or Clarence Savage, 24.

According to reports, Stewart was killed by officers in a west Mobile supermarket parking lot in March 2004.

Savage, according to reports, died after firing at police officers as he emerged from a home being burglarized in April 2004.

Why would it even be considered that the officers have criminal wrongdoing when the suspect emerged 'firing at police'?!?

Andre Deon Jones, 19, accused in the July 2004 shooting death of Deandre Delandra Harris, 29. Kelvin Law, 40, accused of killing his common-law wife, Savannah Taylor, 55, in August 2004.

Joseph Andrew Salter, 20, charged with murder in a fatal car crash in October 2004 that killed 21-year-old Lanaka Lucas.

When I tell people I grew up in Mobile, they think of a sleepy southern town with dirt roads. I've lived in several bigger cities since leaving Mobile, and well meaning people have tried to warn me (thinking I'm a naive bumpkin from a quiet town) of how to avoid crime in the big city. They have no idea that Mobile (if you factor the crime per capita rate) is one of the roughest cities in the nation...

Thomas allegedly drove his vehicle over the foot of a 8-year-old paradegoer, then left the scene.

If he did this, he easily might not be aware of it. An 8 year old is hard to see and his foot is probably 1/3 the size of a speed bump. Further, the 8 year olds' parents may be looking for money from Thomas. What are the injuries from this accident. Seems to me that a 4000 lb car would have 1000 lbs on each wheel with about 8-10 sq in. of road contact on each tire or a pressure of about 100 psi.
