Oh. My. God.
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Two of the 12 jurors who voted to acquit singer Michael Jackson of child molestation and other charges said Monday they regret their decisions.
Jurors Ray Hultman and Eleanor Cook, who both have pending book deals, planned to appear Monday night on the MSNBC show "Rita Cosby: Live and Direct."
In a preview shown Monday on NBC's "Today," Cosby asked Cook if the other jurors will be angry with her.
"They can be as angry as they want to. They ought to be ashamed. They're the ones that let a pedophile go," responded Cook, 79.
They? They! They? They! "They" let him go? She did too!

How does that work? Or...does it? My favourite bit of CI is knowing they tried this fifty times before they settled on the right answer.
Mine too, and I think that's why this magazine doesn't work, quite. It's similar to CI in that they've both got very personal, homey editorial styles, but One is big and glossy and the recipes don't look as good.
Honestly, if it weren't from Penzeys, I don't think I'd even have read the whole thing. I want it to be good because it's from a food company I like and respect.

Easy to see how she voted "not guilty." She should just fess up -- she voted to acquit because Jackson's lawyers were better than the prosecution. But then I guess she can't get a book deal out of proving the old adage that a jury is 12 people asked to decide which party has the better lawyer.
IIRC there are now two ex-jurrors who are saying that Michael was guilty. They are the same two jurrors who have book deals. Coincidenc? Or did they figure that a book saying he was guilty would sell better?
Ya know... the question before a jury trial is not only "Did he do it?" but "Did the prosecution prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it?"
I have participated in a trial where the answer to (1) was "Almost certainly yes" and (2) was "No". The only appropriate verdict in such cases is Not Guilty. Otherwise you're substituting your intuition for the law of the land.
Huh. Quantum information can be negative. So if someone gives you negative quantum information, you end up knowing less.

I can completely see this. What grates me, perhaps irrationally, is the "They're the ones that let a pedophile go." because
they
didn't act alone. She voted the same way. But then that doesn't get you the book deal.
Off to the Wild Animal Park. Wish me critters.

I've had conversations like that.
I feel like eating out tonight. Should I go to the Afgan Restaurant that is directly on my way home, or go to Pf Chang's, which is a little out of the way?
Go Afghan, choose Afghan.
