Anybody catchin' any fish and where?

but would like to add that this is a prime example of where a good shoot could be percieved as a bad shoot given your actions and mistruths presented by the media and spokesmen on certain other peoples behalf.

According to the story you posted "In Florida, the decision on whether to indict someone in capital cases must be made by a grand jury. In all lesser cases the decision to file charges are routinely made by prosecutors. But in highly controversial or difficult cases, prosecutors often defer to a grand jury, leaving the politically charged decision to a panel of citizens.

So accordingly, she may decide its not a "capital" case but still decide to file charges without a GJ indictment... I personally think anything other then a GJ presentment would be an...... (pause for effect)........ Epic Fail!

That would be a great disservice to justice...... and a violation of the 5th Amendment of the U. S. Constitution which states:

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

I hope I am not the one thinking this....

FWIW.... White is a race and Hispanic is an ethnicity.... hence the boxes being white, hispanic and white, non-hispanic on most applications....
