If so, that's an interesting strategy -- admit to using the debit card, but deny the murder. The murder case is still pending?

In the same days postings. Damn how I'd like to repeat that. dots before my eyes? Did I mention I know Kevin? did I know no one cared ? Any way at least I know the rest of the story. Damn, dude I was that close huh? The method by which it slides by, huh? 99.99.0 That's what he said from the beginning. Taking odds he'll be saying the same thing in the end as well.

The AP also has a story about the David Jackson Williams appeal, seen here: http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20090707/NEWS/907070337/1002/news01/Man-convicted-of-murder-to-argue-for-new-trial This was my first murder trial, and his argument is an interesting one. Judge Howorth agreed with Rev. Rencher (who is a great Episcopal priest here) not to allow him to testify. Jackson's lawyer argued Bracey wasn't a member of the church, and Rencher wasn't working in his capacity as preacher when he advised her. Rencher, I believe, was working at the University has a counselor of some sort, and she came to him as a troubled student, with suicidal thoughts. Jackson's lawyer augured the jury should hear the testimony of Rencher, but lost that argument. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know how the priest/parishioner relationship works. Another interesting thing about the appeal is no mention of the pathologist testimony. Dr. Steven Hayne testified at trial, and another doc refuted everything he said. We'll have to see if he'll be tested once again. Thanks NMC, somehow I missed seeing this when I checked.
