[Titus-Maximus]

This story is weird because of the Grisham angle and his huge political contributions then the releasing of rapist-murderers. This guy Kaine seems dicey. Anyone have any background?

[iceskater]

He’s the DNC chair, was an early Obama supporter, is a pro-abortion Catholic.

What more do you want to know?

[PhiKapMom]

Isn’t he now head of the DNC as well as Governor?

[Thommas]

Democratic Governor? Dicey? Quid pro quo? Who’d a thunk..?

[al baby]

Omg had to look him up he was the eyebrow

[iceskater]

Richmond ping. Governor Gridlock ping. Governor Hinky Eyebrow ping.

[SeaHawkFan]

I assume the NOW gang will be all over this in about .....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[MindBender26]

Here is the deal

I bet Grisham (a lawyer) had these murderers and rapists sign over their literary rights for his next book and movie.

He gives Kaine $200,000, makes 2 to 5 million on the book/movie. Slick move.

[evad]

porn author probably pardoning his own people

[workerbee]

Imagine if the governor in question was named.... Sarah Palin.

Oh, the humanity!

[cookcounty]

After only 12 years, yet. Sick.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

How arrogant and greedy. He gives minimal credit to the criminal justice process which determined that these individuals were guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. A jury sat through the entire prosecution of each of these people and deliberated all of the evidence. The Governor did not. The only evidence he deliberated was how large were the contributions.

[novemberslady]

Kaine said he decided there are “serious doubts about at least the level of their complicity in the crime,” though the governor did find that the “combined weight of all the evidence in this case does not conclusively exonerate the petitioners from any possibility of involvement in the rape and murder…

you bastard

[Steely Tom]

I wonder if the Governor ever heard of Norman Mailer and Jack Abbott?

[I Hate Obama]

Why do you think his last name is Kaine? (Cain)

[muawiyah]

Kaine is currently DNC Chairman (if you needed any other piece of evidence to demonstrate that he's totally mad).

We have a couple of others like him ~ Senator Webb who is certifiably mentally unstable (and who gets a big draw from the residual "Souf' is gonna' rise again" crowd) and Mark Warner (who has not been seen in public since "townhall" season begun).

I suspect the US House of Representatives Democrat contingent from Virginia is equally afflicted.

It's the water ~ been that way ever since we started tapping the Potomac.

[Bulldawg Fan]

This same group, “The Innocence Project” is working to get a convicted cop killer off death row in Georgia. They have blood on their hands.

[Oldpuppymax]

Of course this will be heavily featured on CNN! BWAHAHAHAHAHA

[Grut]

AFAIK, the Innocence Project has a pretty good track record. If they think the guys didn’t do it, maybe they didn’t.

[Ramcat]

The victim’s outraged and demoralized parents point out that Grisham’s wealth and influence are obviously more important to the governor’s political aspirations than truth or justice.

Sad really, is this the New American way or has it always been this way and we're just more aware?
This case aside, (don't know the details) truth and justice today are defined by a privileged class.
Anyway, it's demoralizing

William “Billy” Bosko was at sea when his wife was raped and murdered, according to police, by four men.

Bosko and his future wife, Michelle, pictured here at their high school prom in June of 1999.

Danial Williams (clockwise from upper left), Joe Dick, Eric Wilson and Derek Tice were young Navy sailors

when Michelle Moore-Bosko was stabbed to death in July 1997 in Norfolk while her husband was at sea.

Three of them confessed to murder and rape, and Wilson to rape only, yet the evidence says all are innocent.

 

 

Omar Ballard, above, who is also serving a double life term, is the only man whose DNA was found at the crime scene.
