Trials and tribulations of the century
Advertisements [?]
When John A. Muhammad goes on trial Tuesday in the first prosecution of the sniper shootings that terrified Washington one year ago, intricate legal maneuverings over motive, forensics, psychology and the death penalty will unfold before a rapt national audience. But behind the scenes, an equally complicated process of security and logistics will play itself out largely in secret.

¡¥We were concerned that someone might want to kill one of our defendants, and we didn¡¦t want to have to have someone punished for that.¡¦
¡X DAVID GARRETT
St. Clair County, Ala., sheriff's captain

I've never had a family members killed so I don't know these victims feelings but I'm feeling like the Bush
mentality might be responsible for the 'I'm God, jury, judge and executioner'. Is it then everyones right in America to take violent action against someone who's broken a law? Where does it begin and stop? It's OK to kill these guys. Is it OK to kill a tobacco CEO who knowingly withheld cancer fact data and then your wife directly died from the CEOs actions? If someone lost their life savings in Bush buddy Ken Lay Enron's stock and he could afford medication for his wife and she died could he then go after Lay?

Mr. Bush, our leader, do we draw the line at criminal, civil or moral law when we take revenge?
