What do you think of Shepard Smith's reaction?

[Sacajaweau]

Let’s not be stupid. It falls under negligence.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."

Casey Anthony Case Fuels Push in States for 'Caylee's Law'

Swell. More laws. Just what we needed.

[Oldpuppymax]

So what is it going to be...a law against incompetent prosecutors???

[leprechaun9]

Butthead Smith is at least two good reasons not to watch television!

This whole fiasco is more reflexive reaction to an image painted by the pimps of the media and the law industry.

Where is the outcry against permitting the pimps of the media to use a trial of a crime as a prop to promote their emotional EXPERTISE?. The trial should be taped for later discussion and analyses, but NO BROADCASTS OF A TRIAL IN PROGRESS. This certainly adds to the length of the trial

Where is the outcry against prosecutors (mostly political appointees) being held accountable for bringing a case without sufficient evidence (i.e., WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF DEATH?)

Having TV programs 365/24/7 reported as NEWS is absurd and it should STOP!

Florida needs a Dexter.

[bert]

shouldn’t we have a Terry’s law first?

Or perhaps a John Lennon’s law?

[BigBobber]

Would this law apply to women who abort their children?

[Grut]

I forget who, but someone (Instapundit?) suggested a while back that as a rule of thumb, any law named after a child is probably a bad law.

[Mach9]

Flabbergasted. He got it right. Now we’ve got one more piece of useless legislation.

[TigersEye]

Let’s make it mandatory to call the government every night and tell them how are whole day went. For confessions of capital crimes press #3.

[gidget7]

Don’t they have negligent homicide already? Reckless endangerment that resulted in homicide?

[arthurus]

You can’t pass a law that will keep prosecutors from inflating charges to something they can’t prove. I have seen that as a juror and so has my wife. It is evil to have to vote “not guilty” for someone who is guilty as sin but was charged with way more than the prosecution can prove. In this system the prosecution has to prove its case. If the perp is charged with more than there is evidence to show then the perp will walk.

[pointsal]

These trials jump out of gear with the media coverage. No TV and only a pool representative from the written media allowed the court room. After that....pound sand!
