| 28. Well, the legal system has concluded that they were not murdered... |
|
Edited on Mon Jun-30-08 09:13 PM by mitchum
and "murder" IS a legal term (despite what all of you emotional types wish that the word meant)
You can say that "their deaths were appalling", "they were brutally killed", etc, but you really shouldn't be be so sloppy with words (whether you use them in boldface or not)
