Ooooo I know, I know....he's just doing his job, but he could have pick just about any other words...it's a good thing I wasn't the judge on the bench, I probably would have tripled the bail just on principle.

I often say that when I "grow up I want to be a judge" but then????

No, I really don't think he's "just doing his job". I am certainly not naive enough to think that a complex society can run without laws and without people to interpret those laws and act as "agents" for persons in a court of laws, especially when they are as complex as ours. BUT, and if folks don't like this so be it, I cannot condone why some lawyers seemingly jump at the chance to get someone like this woman off the charges. They may tell themselves its so they can get "justice for the people" or "helping the downtrodden" or some such platitudes, but I believe its really about fame and money, or the thought of money down the road. Now, I believe in the capitalist system and free market as much as any conservative; they can take whoever they want as a client, but its certainly a sign of a lack of individual decency to me to WANT to defend someone this heinous. This isn't a dispute between two individuals over some property, or money, or even defending a person against a serious charge where the facts may truly be in dispute or where no one got physically hurt...a young woman was MURDERED in this case...and a child ABDUCTED. Would I want someone to skillfully defend me if I was charged with a crime? Certainly...but on the other hand, I'm not going to be killing a woman to abduct her baby, either. My folks did their best to teach me right from wrong and though I don't get it correct every time, I'm pretty certain I've got the gist of it when it comes to the big stuff as do most people.

Hear, hear, the defense attorney is out of his mind:

"It is our position that she is entitled to a reasonable bond. She does not have a great deal of assets. If the state wants to hold our client on a no-bond, they have a great burden that they will have to satisfy for the court on Monday," Bond said. "It’s our hope on Monday that a bond is set reasonably, so Miss McClain will be allowed to return home and tend to her children."

Attending to her children??? , a cold-blood killer, an abductor and, as said attorney claims she is very upset and on suicide watch. Give her a rope and let's forget about her.

Enough is enough! I want a public hanging and everyone bring your kids. Actions have consequences. Let the kids see a a consequence for a bad action up close and personal rather than in meaningless words.

...sounds like something Uncle Ted would say...I'm proud of you...and glad that you have that level of passion within!!!

Here is more on the killer: http://urbangrounds.com/2012/04/verna-mcclain/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I read that the shooter is from Oakland, California. While I didn't live in Oakland, I did live in Northern California for several years courtesy of Uncle Sam. That town is despicable and this woman is a poster child for that town. I'm not saying EVERYONE from there is like that, but that town is simply FULL of criminals and thugs and lowlifes...also, I don't believe in torture of any sort...but I do believe in the death penalty when it is warranted, and this disgusting incident most surely warrants it. I can't wait to see what sort of stunts the defense team pulls to get this woman off the charges.

The original story made it sound much different than it actually occurred. I'm leaving my original comment up because I'm not trying to hide the fact that I messed up. This thing wasn't some "domestic squabble" that went bad or anything of the sort, which is what I believed it to be initially; it was a full-on unprovoked assault, murder, and kidnapping. I'm relieved to hear the baby is okay and I'm glad they've made arrests in this one. Once again, my apologies for jumping the gun.

The infant's deceased mother is reported to be white (formerly aka Caucasian). Who and where is the child's father?

What does her race have to do with anything?

I didn't write the article, pb. You tell me.

You're going to have to help me here OG. Short of her picture being there, I see no mention of her race. The only race mentioned is that of the perps.

Witnesses told police an adult black female (wearing a gray sweatshirt and blue jeans) shot an adult white female multiple times. An adult black male snatched the victim’s baby and the pair fled with the infant in what is believed to be a light blue Lexus, with the female driving. Police are still searching for the vehicle as of this posting.

That's pretty harsh. For all we know, a three day old baby is very salable.
