Trial by media hype

Tell them to read and understand the 5th Amendment!  They only get one shot at this....better to be well prepared or don't bother...

Remember Casey Anthony?

Remember as well OJ Simpson and the brain trust that had him don protective gloves prior to the glove in evidence.  Civil Court got him, but if Stand Your Ground does come into play on this one there will be the issue of not having the back up plan of civil punishments when they screw up.

Actually, I wondered about OJ and the protective gloves....   I had a pair of gloves that fit tight and got some protective gloves similar to what OJ wore and they were easier to get on while wearing the protective gloves than not.

The real error was allowing their case to rest in the 'hands' of the accused on the stand.  Tight fitting or not, you can appear to struggle to get anything on.

In traditional anthropological studies there are actually 5 races.
These are
1) Mongoloid (Asian and American Indian)
2) Caucasoid (European)
3) Australoid (Australian and oceanic)
4) Negroid (east African black)
5) Capoid (south African black)

   Is there actually enough difference between the 2 to make 2 separate races ?
Isn't "race" equivalent to "genus in non human species ?

Although anthropologists can get a little pointy headed, this is their conclusion. At first, after reading the name of the scientist responsible for this racial division, I thought it might be the start of a joke. Apparently it is not.


Capoid race
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Capoid race is a historical racial category proposed in 1962 by anthropologist Carleton S. Coon and named after the Cape of Good Hope; these people had formerly been regarded as a sub-type of the historical racial category Negroid.[1][2]
This new division was proposed because of the very different appearance of those of the Capoid race from others of what was formerly called the Negroid race (golden brown rather than sepia colored skin, and epicanthic eye folds). Coon argued that the term Negroid race should be abandoned, and the people of that race who are not Capoids should be termed the Congoid race[1].
More recent research in population genetics refers to these two populations within sub-Saharan Africa as "Khoisanid" and "Black African".[3]
