I can't believe it......well almost
The Palm Beach Post editorial board and I watch the same television show. Writing about the John Couey Trial, the Post said-
Then last month, the judge threw out Couey’s taped confession because Citrus County investigators didn’t stop their interrogation when Couey asked for a lawyer. Sheriff Jeff Dawsy defended his investigators by saying they thought Jessica still might have been alive, and that they did not act “maliciously.”
Still, anyone who just watches Law & Order knows that when a suspect “lawyers up,” the questions stop.
Note how I said almost the same thing last month.
Oh no! The Post is plagiarzing me now. Cue the sarcastic laughter.If television crime dramas are accurate(A big assumption), once a defendant asks for a lawyer all questioning must stop till one is present. I do think that is the law, if so the police goofed bad with Couey.
No but Randy Schultz and the Post editorial board apparently have a short memory. Also from today's editorial they wrote-
All victims of violent crime deserve justice. These little girls are especially deserving.
Then compare it with this editorial of the Post's from last June.
I blogged about this earlier editorial here.Inmate K63957 is 20-year-old Stephen Bromstrup. Four years and one day ago, the Martin County High School freshman ran a stop sign while driving 80 mph in a 25-mph zone. He crashed his mother’s Pontiac Firebird into a Cadillac, killing 14-year-old Sarah Stone of Palm City and 13-year-old Alexandra Quaroni, who was visiting from France. Jennifer McKinney, Miss Quaroni’s cousin, was seriously injured.
After years of anguish, though, Sarah Stone’s parents met with the Bromstrups and were able to forgive their son, whose release they support. While the thoughts of victims’ families are a factor, a proper sentence balances the crime with what is best for society, and Stephen Bromstrup has a chance to do something for society.
How does the Post justify their two obviously contradictory editorials? Miss Quaroni's death was violent also. Her assailant's weapon a speeding automobile. Why does Alexandra Quaroni no less justice than does Sarah Lunde or Jessica Lunsford?
This isn't the first time I've caught the Post with inconsistent editorials. Read this.
Randy Schultz explain to the Post's readers how Alexandra Quaroni deserves less justice than Jessica Lunsford. I'm waiting and unless I'm badly wrong, no answer will ever come. You and the rest of the Post editorial board are a bunch inconsistent sickos now.
