Update: Jimmy Fallon Turns Down Hosting the Oscars
UPDATE 8/8/12: Jimmy Fallon revealed this morning on NBC's Today show that the Academy had indeed asked him to host the Oscars in 2013, but that he's turned them down, saying, "I was honored to be asked by the Academy, but it's not my year."
There's currently no word on who the Academy is now seeking for next year's hosting duties.
The L.A. Times is reporting that the Motion Picture Academy, the branch of the AMPAS that actually handles the Oscar awards ceremony, has begun discussions with Jimmy Fallon to host the 2013 Academy Awards, and with Fallon's old boss, Saturday Night Live honcho Lorne Michaels, to produce the ceremony. But, as it seems is always the case when it comes to Oscar hosts, nothing is that simple.
The Academy wants Fallon to host, presumably because he's an innocent and likeable enough comedian that's not going to court controversy, something the Oscars distance themselves from (unlike the Golden Globes), but the network that actually airs the ceremony is objecting. The holdup is that ABC has paid a steep price to exclusively broadcast the event and Fallon's NBC show is the network's direct late-night competition. It's reported that Bob Iger, CEO of ABC's parent company, Disney, isn't keen on the idea of giving such a high-profile spotlight to someone who could potentially steal their viewers if, say, they're impressed and then decide to watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon over their own Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Contractually, however, Iger's objection doesn't factor. ABC's broadcast deal with the Motion Picture Academy does not include veto power over who they select as the host, so they're under no obligation to cease negotiations. We'll be curious to see if Iger can still exert enough pressure to make the deal go away, but if not, it looks like the SNL duo will be walking the red carpet in 2013.
What do you think: will Fallon make a good host if he's cleared for the gig?

The widow of a well-known Doncaster fish frier has died seven months after losing her husband.
Rothwell's fish and chip shops in the town centre are closed today as a mark of respect to Margaret Rothwell.
Her husband, Ron, , who retired in 2002, died last December at the age of 80.
The Rothwell family have chip shops in Doncaster Market Place and Copley Road, and most of their working lives were devoted to serving fish and chips to many thousands of customers.
The firm is still run by two of the couple's four children and has become a fourth-generation business with three of their grandsons now working in the shops.
Ron and Margaret lived in Sutton and worshipped at Doncaster Pentecostal Church.

the show is about survival and being prepared
maybe, right now, we would have made that mistake, but after months of doing everything you can to stay ahead of things chasing you, you take or disable the fucking truck

by Arion » Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:56 pm
I think we both blinked. Not at each other, though.
Meanwhile, I'm waiting to see how the Governor dies.
by GHERU » Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:56 pm
wasn't she in a hurry to get to the jail
"Killing the Governor won't solve the problem" and all that?
she's tired and probably hurt, in a hurry, and a survivalist, of course it makes sense for her to leave the truck
by IvCNuB4 » Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:56 pm
"The Walking Dead: Directors Cut includes an extra 15 seconds of never-before-seen footage ... and a life-size Andrea blow-up doll "
by Arion » Wed Mar 20, 2013 1:03 pm
I would have disabled the truck.
by syxxpakk » Wed Mar 20, 2013 6:42 pm
As I've already said, it's well within reason and perfectly logical to assume she attempted to take the truck but the Governor had the keys. I don't think she had any reason to assume he was alive (again, yelling and screaming death would have convinced me also - but I guess you would have wanted/needed to see the remains of a body), so why waste time butchering a truck?
On the flip side, let's say she is running for her life in a hurry, survivalist mode, etc. She runs out, amped up and scared and trying to get the fuck out of there (which is not what she did, BTW, if you watch the scene in question). She runs to the truck, no keys. She now has two options a) continue to get the fuck up out that bitch OR b) waste precious time that could be used getting the fuck up out that bitch on slashing tires - which if you've ever done, does require more effort than you might suspect - effort and time that might give the Governor - if he's not dead because man he was screaming like crazy - time to come fuck your shit up for not getting away quicker.
by syxxpakk » Wed Mar 20, 2013 6:47 pm
No, it wasn't there - but that scene is just as plausible as "She ran past the truck without as much of a thought as taking it." You're reasoning that, since she showed up at the prison without taking the truck then she absolutely must have not even bothered for it. There's no scene that proves this way either. My argument is both are equally plausible.
I also argue that her not slashing the tires is not as implausible as everyone seems to think based on two reasons: a) primarily, if she thought he was dead and had good reason to assume so (those screams were pretty telling), then what's the point? and b) if she assumed he was alive, then she assumes at any moment he will be upon her (aka what good does it do to slash the tires if he bashes her head while she's slashing said tires).
by S.F. Jude Terror » Wed Mar 20, 2013 6:47 pm
See, I am fine with this logic, but I think the writers would have shown her at least look at the truck if they wanted to convey that. They didn't, they just ignored it entirely, which makes me believe it was just lazy writing.
by syxxpakk » Wed Mar 20, 2013 6:48 pm
I can respect that, I just equate it to the "Pissing/Shitting"-equation. We know that they have to do that, even if we don't see it. But YMMV.
by S.F. Jude Terror » Wed Mar 20, 2013 6:58 pm
I feel like the reaction is the reason they should have addressed this. It was such an obvious point that they should have addressed it with a 2 second scene. For instance:
Andrea exits the building and bends down to catch her breath. We see the woods. We see the building. She looks at the truck for a second, then seems to decide there isn't time and runs for the woods.
Then there's no question. We know she saw the truck. We know she thought about it and decided, for whatever reason, not to try to take it or disable it. They didn't have to spend a lot of time on it or go into details. It has the added benefit of her decision having a consequence later in the episode. All around, that's what separates the men from the boys when it comes to writing, something great as opposed to something that's good but flawed.
by syxxpakk » Wed Mar 20, 2013 7:01 pm
Here's another point: what if she didn't see the truck? I don't think she left out the same way he came in. If the truck was on the other side of the building...
by S.F. Jude Terror » Wed Mar 20, 2013 7:04 pm
I do think that's true. But, of course, the writers were in control of all that. In the beginning of the scenes in the building, they made a big point of showing the truck pull up, and then replaying it from Andrea's perspective inside, having her hear the truck pull up and park and him get out. So it just became very obvious. They could have downplayed that more and then it wouldn't have been such an issue. But they were like "Here's the Governor IN HIS TRUCK, btw THE TRUCK is outside now, hear that TRUCK, the door just slammed on the TRUCK." They made it so prominent that I think viewers expect a payoff to that.
It would have been too much to have her walk around the building and look for the truck, but that's a problem the writers created and I would have liked for them to consider things like that.
by Grayson » Wed Mar 20, 2013 7:11 pm
See, if something like this had actually happened in the episode, I wouldn't have had such a problem with it. Usually I am ok with the characters making dumb decisions because as it has already been pointed out, people make dumb decisions all the time. The problem with this dumb decision is the fact that this particular character has a history of making increasingly dumb decisions but then we also see her go into these She-Ra attack modes or she tries to give condescending speeches to other characters about how their choices are wrong or dangerous. I just wish they would have shown her trying to make a smart decision for once before she went off and got captured.
by pastajoe » Wed Mar 20, 2013 8:03 pmPerhaps she didn't want to take the truck because she didn't know if there were other vehicles out there on the roads looking for her. She wanted to stay in the woods. Perhaps the Governor didn't use the truck to follow her after the warehouse, but was also on foot. She would have heard a truck, but the way he snuck up on her through the woods indicates he was also on foot. Perhaps after he caught her, he brought her back to the truck by the warehouse. Therefore the truck didn't play a part in her capture. Therefore it's a moot point.

This Tech Tip Tuesday – Commentary: How Much do Your Technicians Know About Wheel Integrity?
In spite of endless service bulletins and instructional videos and even mandatory training programs, the worst still happens.
Interesting piece from the truckinginfo.com websits about wheel integrity for this week's Tech Tip Tuesday.
A couple of Saturdays back I met an old friend for coffee. A veteran of our industry, a long-time driver, nowadays a safety supervisor, he's one of those guys who can do anything when it comes to trucks and trucking. Easily one of the smartest people I know.
We got to talking about wheel integrity.
The subject arose when I asked how things were going at work. He described a near tragedy he was investigating, a wheel-off incident in the downtown section of a major city on a weekday afternoon. Thankfully, no great speed was involved and in the midst of urban traffic and pedestrians, the errant wheel did no damage to person or property. The gods were smiling.
Now, my friend is not a mechanic, and he admits to gaps in his understanding about the ways wheels can part company with trucks or more likely trailers. But he soon found that the technicians responsible for the rig in question didn't actually know much either. The issue, he thought, was the way those techs were attaching wheels, the way they were using torque and impact wrenches.
The real trouble, my chum realized as we talked, was that those mechanics didn't know how much they didn't know.
He was pretty unhappy about that, especially when I started talking about the simple science of torquing wheel fasteners properly. About how tiny bits of rust or dirt or even paint drops can compromise the strength of those connections. I promised to send him some things I've written on the subject, including an article from the April 2012 issue of HDT, "Preventing wheel-offs."
Turns out it was a revelation.
For me, the revelation was that the carrier in question is one of the best on the continent, based in Canada but with sizeable operations in the U.S., too.
And with ample reason to be better at such fundamentals as wheel security.
If these guys, in at least one terminal, can't manage wheels, what can we expect from lesser fleets?
With the advent of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) safety enforcement regime, and quite apart from the moral demand that owners keep their trucks safe, the practical need to run safe trucks has jumped up the priority ladder a rung or two.
I've penned a story on the subject every couple of years since we first began to understand wheel integrity almost two decades ago. Back then, in 1995, a spate of wheel-off fatalities directed a bright spotlight on our maintenance and inspection practices. Data is scarce to say the least, but it's reasonably clear that wheel-separation incidents have dropped since then. Whatever the figures may be, there's no disagreement about the notion that one fatality is too many.
Yet in spite of endless service bulletins and instructional videos and even mandatory training programs, the worst still happens.
Why? Simply, truck wheels and fasteners and hubs and bearings and all that are mechanical things, and such things eventually fail. Always. Inevitably.
Some such failures are to an extent predictable and thus preventable, but that assumes perfect maintenance and inspection practices and the alignment of all possible stars. Won't happen every time.
Are there mechanical solutions aside from learning proper fastening techniques? Yes. There are products that replaces the standard flange nut on hub-piloted disc wheels altogether. Other products warn of heat build-up that could mean impending bearing failure.
However, the real solution may be understanding that we can't let up on this front.

I am surprised by this statement, purely because when I met you in London, Terril Park was brandishing a 'Freezone' picket sign and YOU asked me, "You're not a freezoner are you?" From the tone of your voice, I was inclined to think you were not into the freezone at all. I obviously got it all wrong. I have been a staunch supporter of you and your story inside of scientology for a very long time. I talk about you alot, I think It is great that you finally found your way out after so long.I need to know this, did you ever meet LRH personally?It isn't my intention to cut up the Indie movement..I've said since I left and people asked
me if I was for or against the "Freezone"....I was for it, not in it, but I'm happy people use whatever as long as it isn't hurting others. Why?
Because I see it as a bridge OUT. Once OUT---people *can* read, look, listen and begin
to connect the dots. Many people would never have left, if there was "nothing" out here.
Once out---many have realized there's LOTS more to life than "The tech"...even in the spiritual
areas. That realization came to me while on OT 7 and I was trying to sort out "What can I do to
stop these gawd awful massive migrain headaches?" From reading TONS of "Self-Improvement
books--I realized There is *tons* of other great information out here, much WAY better than
Scientology, for me.
Unfortunately, I never had long enough to talk to you about the things I really wanted to talk about.

A freshly completed Traco engine on the stand. The initials R. P. on the lid of the cross ram indicate it is for Roger Penske's Camaro team.
I have seen the Penske Camaros use the Z28 finned aluminum valve covers and also the stock stamped steel valve covers painted Traco gray to match the rest of the engine. I think the stamped steel valve covers were used early in the season and the finned ones later on.Jim Hall's Camaros used the Z28 finned aluminum valve covers. I've never seen photos of his engines running another type of valve cover although I guess its possible.
The photo below, from the Tra-Co Engines website, shows the gray color.I have never painted an engine that color and don't have a suggestion foran off-the-shelf paint can to use but it shouldn't be hard to find somethingsuitable.
... It was a combination that was well known by Chevy drag racers for many years prior to the '67 Z-28. Going back to the old 283 blocks, you could actually bore them out .125" over to get to a full 4-inch bore and racers were happy to have the extra cubic inches. Vince had long known of that bore/stroke combination and recommended it to Pete Estes because that would put them just under the 5-liter limit of the Trans-Am class and give them a cubic inch advantage over the competition which were only offering 289s and 273s at the time.

Thanks for all of the pledge support and the excellent pledge drive companionship from Ellen Stanley of Womenfolk this morning. We heard new music from Bill Staines, Tift Merritt and Amanda Palmer, as well as underappreciated classics such as The Trailer Park Troubadours—which we can keep hearing on the radio thanks to your support!
The morning started with Two Door Cinema Club and moved into new Hot Chip, Zoe Muth, The Helio Sequence, Antibalas….you get the picture. Check the playlist for more eclectic new artists and songs that we don't want to forget. International DJ Paul Harding was also in the house bringing us new middle eastern sounds!
New music this morning from Ken Stringfellow, Mark Eitzel and a track from the Jovanotti retrospective to mix it up!
Had a blast talking with Joe Ely this morning as he came up through the Ozarks to play at the Cedar in Minneapolis. Did you know it was Joe who put the Spanish in "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" by The Clash? Fun stories and he has many many more to tell. Look for a new album out from Joe in 2013. We also heard new music from Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson, Bat for Lashes and Poncho Sanchez.
New music this morning from Andrew Bird, Kaki King and local group Jimmi & the Band of Souls. Some spooky music from Argentina, Madagascar, the Middle East by way of London, Milwaukee and Kirkwood Hollow mixed in!

Wow, guys! Those are some great looking shots! BE...what camera/lens/settings? Any post processing? The color ians contrat are awesome...
Thanks for the kind words. I'm using a Canon EOS D60. this shot was taken with an 5.6 100/300 Telephoto lens on tripod with a cable release. ISO at 100 setting on p. Minor post processing for contrast and minor for sharpness as well. I have fallen in love with the Canon EOS series digital camera.

Mine's a KM A200, I cropped and resized to get it on the Forum, Shutter 1/250th and F3.5, Daylight White ISO50 ~ no ompensation.
It's one of my wife's favourite Ducks - along with the Ruddy Duck.
Thanks for the nice comments

Nuns - 0ldest Convent 1895
www.motherstrust.org ( Information: (616) 566-4318 )
Mataji Vandana Puri Devi, President, Saradeshwari Convent 1895: Invited by Ramakrishna Monk, Swami Bhashyananda, come West
Sannyasini Gauri Mata Puri Devi is the "only woman monastic disciple of Sri Ramakrishna" who founded the "first womens convent" in 1895, commissioned by Sri Ramakrishna. Sri Sarada Devi, the Holy Mother, who after Sri Ramakrishna's passing became known as Sri Sri Ma, the Universal Mother, dedicated and guided Saradeshwari Convent, leaving" her only woman monastic disciple" Sannyasini Durga Mata Puri Devi, to carry on as Sannyasini Gauri Mata Puri Devi's successor.
Swami Vivekananda wrote in 1896: "Hence it is my first endeavor to start a math (Convent) for women. Please show this letter to Gauri Ma,Yogin Ma etc., and through them establish a womens math (Convent). Let Gauri Ma be President there.. I shall supply all the necessary expenses for that work."
Swami Bhashyananda President of the Ramakrishna Order Vedanta Society in Chicago and Vivekananda Monastery in Ganges, MI., translated the book, "Sannyasini Gauri Mata Puri Devi, A Monastic Disciple of Sri Ramakrishna" and sent his disciple Eva E. Schroeder to the oldest women's Convent, making her the first "western woman" to receive sannyas from the Saradeshwari Convent. She received the sannyas name, Sannyasini Gaurivrata Puri Devi. He wrote inviting President Mataji Vandana Puri Devi to come to the Vivekananda Monastery and participate in the establishment of a Temple to Sri Sri Ma and bring to the west, a "Truth Untold" of the direct women monastic disciples of Ramakrishna /Sarada Nuns. They accepted the invitation in 1998 and inaugurated Mother's Temple in Ganges, MI.
The ground breaking ceremony and dedication of the Mother's Temple was celebrated earlier, in Feb. of 1992 with Sannyasini Gauribrata Puri Devi, (monastic resident of Vivekananda Monastery) and disciple of Swami Bhashyananda since 1973, and Ramakrishna Monks, Swami Chidananda, Swami Tapasananda, Swami Atmalokananda, Swami Yogeshananda, Swami Brahmarupananda, Blessings of Swami Sarvagatananda and Swami Bhashyananda Maharaj. Ramakrishna/Sarada Nuns, Oldest Convent 1895, were finally honored.

At Arkive, we are ever grateful for the support we receive from individuals whether they be photographers and filmmakers who donate their work to make Arkive possible, conservationists & researchers who passionately pursue the science and stories behind the world's most threatened species, or teachers who bring the WILD into their classroom everyday with Arkive.
But there may be a special group that we cherish support from the most … children! Or, who we like to think of as the "conservationists of tomorrow". Each time the Arkive team has the chance to connect with children, whether in the classroom, at an event, or on the web through our games and mobile apps, we feel renewed and inspired in our mission to share the wonders of the natural world through the most powerful and compelling images and films that exist.
But sometimes, just when you think you have reached the point of complete inspiration from those youngest members of our society, they completely blow your socks off.
The preschoolers (students age 3-5) of Akiba-Schechter Jewish Day School of Chicago, IL, USA, did just that when they decided to dedicate their annual school fundraiser proceeds to Arkive this year and raised
That's right. Approximately sixteen students, 5 years old and younger. raised over $300 for Arkive in support of our mission and to help keep Arkive a free and growing resource for all. The only thing better than raising this enormously generous sum for Arkive is the way they did it.
Akiba Schechter is full to the brim with students who are eager to dive into the natural world, learning about both species that live in their community and across the globe. Through a program called the Afternoon Explorers, the students decide which species and habitats they want to digitally explore and spend weeks diving into the photos, films, stories, and scientific information learning everything they can.
Then, at the end of the school year, students channel all the knowledge they have gained through their worldly explorations and interpret it through artwork which they sell at their year-end culminating event called the Afternoon Explorers Boutique. The Boutique is a chance for the students to share their wild journeys with family, friends and the local community and to sell their artwork with proceeds benefiting the students' charity of choice. Lucky for us, Arkive was their chosen charity for 2014.
Why was Arkive chosen this year? According to one of the teachers leading the Afternoon Explorers, Emily Bradley Schoenberg,
"Arkive has given the children an amazing window to the world around them and has inspired them to think about the Earth and all of its creatures and how some are endangered. It gives them a sense of responsibility to care for those animals and the environment to make sure they are safe."
Here's a taste of some of the incredible items made by the explorers for the Boutique.
And even better, every single item was sold! The team here at Arkive cannot thank the Afternoon Explorers enough for using Arkive as their window to the natural world and for so generously naming Arkive as the recipient of this year's Afternoon Explorer's Boutique. Keep on exploring!

Summer, thank you for finally getting here! (Actually, according to astronomy, we just passed the height of summer, but that seems unfair to those locations where the warm season has only just begun in earnest.) Between days of lazing on the beach, gorging at backyard barbecues, and escaping to vacations, house hunters are getting serious. After all, there isn't much time left to close on a home before school starts for the kids.

I have two divs. I want them to display side by side, on the same row. Using display:inline-block I can do that. But as soon as I position some text in the bottom right corner of div1, the two divs do not have the same vertical position. They are side by side, but the 2nd div starts at the vertical position of the positioned text in the 1st div. Why would it do that? Both Chrome and IE8 render it the same way. ( I am doing the nesting of the divs on the left side so that I can position absolutely within a div and not the page. I can't get text to position in the lower right corner of a div any other way. )

text: Kubota Launches Grand X February 16, 2012 09:08 AM Tweet Today at the National Farm Machinery Show, Kubota Tractor Company announced a new flagship tractor to be added to the M-Series. The new machine called the Grand X, will hit the market in the spring. Paul Williams, Senior Product Manager for Kubota, says that the machine comes in four models. Ranging from 85-118 PTO horse power, the Grand X mid-size deluxe tractors are intended to replace the current X series. The Grand X boasts a 10 inch wider cab with more than 7 inches overhead room. The machine features an eight speed power shift transmission for 24 gears in forward and reverse. This mid-sized machine features a diesel particulate filter, a Tier 4 technology. Williams says the most popular application to be used with this new tractor is a loader application. He predicts that it will be used as product mover on the farm. Because of the three point hitch and greater pulling capacity than the X series this machine has the potential to be used in the field according to Williams. He says that the machines will be assembled in the plant in California as well as the new plant in Georgia and will be in dealers' hands come spring. **************************** Read more Farm Journal coverage of the 2012 National Farm Machinery Show.

Police: Man charged after sex with underage girl
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
A man is charged after police say he had sexual intercourse with an underage girl.
According to the arrest citation, 19-year-old Collin Schmitt had been living in the 15-year-old girl's home for about a week when he followed her into her bedroom.
Once inside, police said Schmitt kissed the girl on the mouth and she backed away.
Schmitt then reportedly asked the girl to take off her clothes and she did.
The two then engaged in sexual intercourse and the girl told her mother about the incident four days later.

Sherbaz Khan Mazari says
Jigar thâm ke beitho ke ab mêri bâri aï hai
Page 330 – Bhutto's fixation with Hitler was manifested in a similarity of coincidences. The concentration camp at 'Dalai' and the FSF 'storm troopers' were clearly products of Bhutto's Hitler fixated mind. Aping Hitler, Bhutto chose to use a policy of systemic terror to brutalize his opponents.
Page 331 – By 1974 four political activists were victims of political assassination. The fifth was a botched attempt at killing a man Bhutto had grown to hate: Dr Nazir Ahmed, Jamaat-i-Islami MNA – shot dead at his clinic at Dera Ghazi Khan on 8 June 1972; Khawaja Muhammad Rafiq, leader of Itehad Party – shot dead by a sniper during an anti-government demonstration in Lahore on 20 December 1972; Abdus Samad Achakzai, leader of NAP Pakhoonkhwa of Balochistan – killed in his house in Quetta by a grenade attack on 2 December 1973; Maulvi Shamsuddin, JUI MPA and Deputy Speaker of the Balochistan assembly – shot in his car on his way to Fort Suleman on 13 March 1974; Muhammad Ahmed Kasuri, father of Ahmed Raza – killed mistakenly, during a bungled attempt to assassinate his son, who was present in the car along with him, in Lahore on 10 November 1974.
(Bhutto was lucky he got hanged for only one of these murders).
Page 331 – Others were killed as well. On 28 September a serious attempt was made on Wali Khan's life as he was driving to Swat. Both his driver and guard were killed but Wali Khan luckily emerged unscathed.
Page 331 – On 5 October Ali Buksh Junejo – a former Khalifa of Pir Pagaro, who had joined the PPP, was murdered in Sanghar in broad daylight. The next day Six supporters of Pir Pagaro, who were attending a court hearing against them, were taken by the police to a deserted location and murdered in cold blood.
Page 332 – Apart from the killings during this period, thousands of people were detained from all over the country. There were those like Kaswar Gardezi, secretary general of NAP, who was sadistically tortured by the police while in detention. In a voice breaking with emotion Gardezi later related his horrifying experience to me (details of the torture not included here).
Page 333 – In September 1972 Khawaja Mana Rahman, of the Dawn group, was shot at the Karachi Boat Club by hired assassins who made their escape. A few months later an attempt was made to shoot his daughter while she was driving her car.
Given the circumstances I was disappointed , but not surprised, when Mana Rahman called on me to tell me that both he and his brother-in-law, Mahmood Haroon, has sought and received forgiveness from Bhutto. They had done so because they "lacked the courage to continue to oppose him". The people who stood firm against Bhutto's autocracy were getting smaller in number and in time would shrink further.
Page 334 – If any of his subordinates showed even a modicum of independence, he would be swiftly punished. In December 1973 he dismissed Mumtaz Bhutto as chief minister of Sindh. In March 1973 Khar was sacked as chief minister of Punjab.
Bhutto's obsession with maintaining a aura of invincibility was so strong that he would spare no one, not even those who had done him valuable and devoted service over the years.
Page 335 – On the evening of 2 July 1974 J A Rahim was invited, along with the senior hierarchy of the PPP, to a dinner at the prime minister's house. The invitation was for 8 pm but the host had failed to show up. By midnight the seventy-plus-year-old Rahim lost his patience and left uttering some harsh words.
In the early hours of the morning as Rahim lay sleeping he was informed by his servant that a posse of men were demanding to be let in. Rahim went to the front door to discover that it was Saied Ahmed Khan, the chief of prime minister's security, who told him he had come to deliver a personal message from the prime minister. When he opened the door the security chief began by pummeling Rahim's face and body with his fists until Rahim fell to the ground. Then one of his men hit Rahim with his rifle butt while he lay prostrate.
Rahim's son, Sikander who rushed to intervene, was soon beaten unconscious by the FSF troopers. Having delivered Bhutto's message Rahim was dragged by his feet and flung into a jeep, along with his son, and taken to a police station. Rafi Raza arrived at the police station a couple of hours later and rescued him.
Even Bhuto's close associates and cabinet ministers now lived in dread and fear of the unpredictability of their master's temper. Bhutto would not brook any criticism. Rafi Raza revealed that Dr Mubashir Hasan told him that when he wished to speak to the prime minister he would do so only privately to avoid ugly consequences. Rafi Raza also mentioned that Bhutto forbade him to speak openly at cabinet meetings to prevent others from becoming 'too independent and contrary.
(this policy was continued by Benazir Bhutto. No one could speak until spoken to. Not even Aitzaz Ahsan, Raza Rabbani, Khurshid Shah or even the benign Iqbal Haider, not to mention the small fry Sherry Rahman, Farzana Raja and Fauzia Wahhab. A US official told of a meeting with Benazir Bhutto — she spoke 90 percent of the time).
Part II
Page 344 – Bhutto did not trust even the closest of his associates and kept them in check by pitting one against the other. In Sindh he had controlled his cousin Mumtaz through his rival Jatoi. Jatoi in turn, as chief minister, had no control over Jam Sadiq Ali, who reported directly to the prime minister. Jam Sadiq Ali, his hit man had total control of Sanghar, Pagaro's vote bank. Larkana was made into a division and Khalid Kharral became its first commissioner, reporting directly to Bhutto. Rather than trying to bring his warring subordinates together, Bhutto encouraged them to squabble even further, all the while enjoying the complaints of one colleague about the other.
Page 345 – Creating rivalries between his subordinate gave Bhutto a sense of security. As his confidant Rafi Raza admitted: "By nature suspicious, he sought to have 'dirt' available against his ministers and leading party members, and in early 1976, assigned to his intelligence chiefs the task of preparing secret dossiers about them, to be used against them in case of need".
Page 342 – NAP/JUI government in Balochistan was dismissed illegally and unethically and inspite of sending Baloch leaders to jail, the federal government had not been able to form a majority government there. People were shot like dogs, the army had blockaded sizeable populations, air force had been used to strafe people, Iranian ammunition was being used against the locals and thousands of political workers had been jailed.
Page 350 – On 25 June while I was at Karachi I read in the evening papers that over nine hundred people had been slain by the armed forces in the Mari tribal area. The newspapers mentioned the use of the Pakistan air force in aerial bombing of the hapless civilians.
Page 352 – A 'mohtabar' informed us: "On a recent visit to Harnai I met with an army Subedar at a local 'chaikhana' who told me that he was a paratrooper who had participated in the action against the Marris. The Subedar said many members of his section had been dropped by parachute at night near identified Marri settlements. At dawn they surrounded the settlements and attacked them killing all those who resisted, After burning down their homes, they arrested all the able bodied men and took away all their livestock. When I asked the Subedar about the Marri women, he told me that they took with them only the pretty ones for obvious reasons and left the others to fend for themselves. The 'mohtabar' then confirmed that in his presence alone he saw the army auctioning off over 15,000 heed of captured cattle".
Page 353 – On our return to Islamabad a number of us in the opposition including Wali Khan, Pir Pagaro and I sent separate similarly worded telegrams to Chaudry Fazal Elahi, the president:
"The action committee of UDF hereby bring to your notice that the actions taken by the federal government in Balochistan are unconstitutional and unlawful. In compliance with such orders the Pakistan army and air force are indiscriminately shelling, strafing and killing innocent inhabitants, including women and children. Their properties are being destroyed and their livestock looted. Concentration camps have been established where innocent and patriotic people of Balochistan are being kept and maltreated. Their women are dishonoured and innocent children tortured. Implementation of such orders of the federal government by the Pakistan army and air force is damaging the unity of the country and may lead to further disintegration, thus a reign of terror is prevailing in the whole province for the simple reason that the people of Balochistan did not vote for the People's Party in the last general elections".
Page 354 – only two days later I received a report from Mukhtar Hasan, a newspaper correspondent who had just returned from Balochistan. He told me that while he was there two Marri women were raped near Balpat station by soldiers. The culprits were later caught and given only extra drill as punishment. In another incident, one Lal Han Marri's wife was abducted in Kohlu and raped by several soldiers. Rape in any society is a most reprehensible crime, but when a country's army, whose sworn and only duty is to defend the borders of a country, indulges in criminal raping of its own hapless citizens, it is nothing less than an act of treason. What disgusted me most was the fact that only token punishment was being awarded by the army for the perpetrators of this most monstrous of crimes. The Pakistan army was behaving as if it had occupied a foreign country, and an iniquitous occupation at that. It reminded me of the atrocities committed by the army in East Pakistan.
Page 356 – in late August I was asked by Bhutto to meet with him in Karachi. I took the opportunity of remonstrating with him about the continuing military action against the tribesmen, especially the use of aircraft against them. It was then, in my presence, that Bhutto finally, openly admitted that military aircraft had been used in Balochistan, but he insisted that no bombing had taken place, the aerial attacks, according to him, had been restricted to strafing and rockets.
Page 356/357 – within weeks of the dismissal of the NAP government in Balochistan in February 1973 a disparate group of Baloch guerillas had sprung up largely in the Marri and Mengel areas. These guerrilla groups, despite their meager numbers, constantly harassed army convoys. Adopting the classical guerrilla approach of avoiding any large scale encounters with the armed forces. Between the period of 1973 and 1975, there were 178 major recorded army encounters with the guerrillas. Despite the army's enormous 80,000 man force it would find itself increasingly frustrated with its inability to deal with small groups who attacked at unexpected moments and then swiftly melted away into the mountainside. The army's heavy handed approach of avenging itself on the innocent, ordinary tribal folk only worsened the situation.
Page 361 – the army now decided to take advantage of the presence of a large concentration of Marri families in one particular locality and launched Operation Chamalang on 3 September 1974. By attacking the tent villages of their families the army hoped to lure the fighting tribesmen down from the hills. The strategy worked and thousands of armed Marris poured down from the hills to defend their wives and children. It is said they fought for three consecutive days and nights before running out of ammunition and being forced to retreat to the hills.
Page 364 – News of the Chamalang Operation reached me late. I had spent a week in Sonmiani and found myself – as was the case in those days without telephones, newspapers or even electricity – completely cut off from all but urgent telegrams, which would take a couple of days to reach. It was only when I reached Karachi on 18 September that I was informed by Ahmed Raza Kasuri that the army had occupied Chamalang. He told me that about 800 Marris and over 200 soldiers had been killed in the fighting. I was shattered by the enormity of the event.
Part III
Page 371 – on 8 February my eldest son Sherazam informed me that he had just heard on the radio that Hayat Muhammad Sherpao, the PPP senior minister of NWFP had been killed in a bomb explosion at Peshawar university.
There are many theories about who arranged his assassination. One theory that cannot easily be dismissed was that it had been carried out on the direct orders of Sherpao's own leader – Bhutto himself. It is a known fact that before his death Sherpao had become very disenchanted with the leader he had once hero-worshipped. Bhutto had noticed Sherpao's growing popularity and had come to resent it and had begun politically sidelining him at every available opportunity. Even one of their close PPP colleague commented:
" A few months before his death, Sherpao seriously considered leaving the Party altogether. He only changed his mind on the persuasion of myself and other friends from the Frontier —– . Of all those around Bhutto, sherpao's personal devotion had been the greatest, and his subsequent disillusionment was consequently the most profound".
Page 372 – The death of Sherpao provided Bhutto with an excuse to clamp down on Wali Khan and his NAP. It was eerily reminiscent of the dismissal of the Balochistan government on trumped up charges of being responsible for the arms found in the Iraq Embassy in February 1973, two years previously. The day following Sherpao's assassination, Wali khan and all the national and provincial leaders of NAP were either under detention or being urgently sought out by the authorities. The next day it was announced that NAP had been banned and all its assets confiscated. The First Amendment to the 1973 Constitution allowed the Federal Government to ban political parties formed or those 'operating in a manner prejudicial to the sovereignty of Pakistan'.
On the evening of 10 February I got a call from Jennifer Musa from Balochistan, who had been a NAP MNA, from Islamabd. She told me that over 800 of the NAP party members had been arrested. She also informed me that an ordinance had been passed in the Assembly which allowed for the arrest of MNAs while the Assembly was in session. It had become obvious that the government had begun an intensified assault to destroy all vestige of NAP. A brutal campaign had begun to pin Sherpao's death on NAP party members. A number of them including, Asfandyar were very brutally tortured in an attempt to extract 'confessions'. A few days later NWP Governor Aslam Khattak and the Gandapur Government was also sacked and the federal Government imposed its direct rule in the province.
Page 372/373 – On 18 February at 1 a.m. I was woken up by a telephone call from a very distraught Mrs Azizullah Shaikh. Her home was being stoned by hooligans. Her husband had gone into hiding to evade arrest, and she was alone at home with her three young daughters. I took my son Sherazam and a couple of our servants and rushed over to her house. We saw a dozen or so thugs fleeing into the surrounding darkness when they saw our car approaching. Inside we discovered Mrs shaikh and her three daughters cowering in the corner o a room. The idea that a government could stoop so low as to threaten a defenseless woman and her young daughters sickened me. My son and I kept an all night vigil and left only after sunrise.
Page 375/377 – the banning of nap found UDF Opposition alliance in a weakened position. Having banned NAP the government was required under law to refer it's dissolution of the Party to the Supreme Court. Exercising a leap in convoluted logic, CJ Hamoodur Rahman chose to construe NAP's long held demand for greater provincial autonomy to be nothing more than a claim for a provincial 'right of self-determination with the right to accede'. The Supreme Court had fallen prey to playing its historical role – since the days of Justice Munir – of acceding deferentially, yet again, to the wishes of the government of the day. The sum of the supreme court's long judgment —– was to endorse the Prime Minister's contempt for political opposition.
Page 391 – in the meantime yet another government-opposition crisis had taken place. On 14 November the Opposition created an uproar in the Assembly over the Government's introduction of the proposed Fourth Amendment to the 1973 Constitution, to further curtail the writ jurisdiction of the High Courts in cases of preventive detention. It thwarted the Court's ability to prohibit such detentions or even grant bail to people so detained. It was clearly directed towards disabling the Courts from intervening in cases of blatant political victimization.
In the ensuing parliamentary commotion the serjeant-at-arms was ordered to evict the Opposition MNAs from the Chamber. Failing to do so, FSF troopers were called in. These government hired ruffians bodily lifted eight struggling MNAs and dumped them unceremoniously in the National Assembly car park. Among the victims was the acting leader of the Opposition, Mufti Mahmood. It was a scandalous display of unwarranted aggression and only helped in furthering the growing bitter divide between members of the Opposition and Bhutto.
Page 393 – After having been forcibly ejected from parliament Mufti Mahmood refused Bhutto's offer of a dialogue to sort matters out. This offer of Bhutto was a typical Bhutto gesture. He would now hold himself out as a man of reason offering to settle the dispute in a calm and sensible manner – completely ignoring the fact that it was he who had shoved the aggressive Fourth Amendment down the throats of the Opposition, as well as had them manhandled and ejected from the Assembly Chamber. When his 'judicious' offer would meet with rejection, he would get the theatrical opportunity of twisting his hands in dismay and then announce that he was faced with such an 'obstructive' and hostile opposition, that he had little choice but to 'crush them' for the sake of good governance.
Part IV
Page 394/395 – 19 December 1975 had been nominated a 'Black Flag Day' and a rally had to be held at Karachi's Katrak Hall, near the Empress Market. On the way to the hall we were forced to disembark from our vehicles as FSF and armed police had taken charge of all routes leading to the Hall. Asghar khan, Maulana Noorani and I forced our way through the blockade on foot helped by a crowd of several thousand already assembled there. When we walked through a narrow alley and entered the gate a large body of police made their sudden appearance and a DSP took the three of us into police custody. The police contingent charged the crowd with their steel tipped 'lathis'. The narrowness of the alley made their task much easier as they had only to contend with those in the front. Later I was told they brutally cleared the alley all the way to the main road. Besides the police, only my three sons, Mir Ali Buksh Talpur and my driver remained in the alley refusing to budge until they discovered what had happened to me. But they too were charged, Talpur's wrist was broken and my sons injured. We were taken to the Soldier Bazaar police station and detained there. After a while an angry crowd swelled outside and the police decided to release us before the situation got out of hand.
All over Pakistan similar rallies had been disrupted by the local police and FSF. Having muzzled the press and despite having achieved near complete control of all media, Bhutto's government was determined not to allow the Opposition any opportunity of communicating with the public in any form whatsoever. The government's open and adversely hostile attitude towards the Opposition was now impelling even the less belligerent Opposition parties into adopting a firmer stance.
Page 397/398 – On 6 February 1976 tragedy struck. Asadullah, the twenty year old son of Attaullah Mengal was gunned down outside my brother Mir Balakh Sher's house at Karachi, along with his friend Ahmed Shah Kurd. I later learnt that Asadullah who was constantly being followed by local intelligence agencies, sought to evade them earlier that day, by swapping cars at a friends house. In the friend's car he, accompanied by Ahmed Shah, arrived at my brother's house in the Muhammad Ali Housing Society a few minutes before 8 p.m. He informed the servant that he was expecting to receive a phone call there. At about 8 p.m. as the telephone rang, the servant heard loud bursts of gunfire. Outside the gate he saw Saadullah's car crashed against the wall and a number of armed people surrounding it. It was then that he noticed that both ends of the street had been blocked by black vehicles. He witnessed the men carrying two prone bodies from the crashed car to one of their vehicles before driving away.
My initial shock at this horrible event quickly changed to sorrow when my thoughts turned towards Attaullah Mengal. Almost a month after the incident ominous rumours began to circulate that after being critically wounded, instead of being taken to a hospital, Asadullah was taken to Malir where he was tortured to extract information about his dealings in Balochistan. He died during the torture and to this day, apart from the perpetrators themselves, no one knows the whereabouts of his remains.
Page 409 – My last meeting with Bhutto took place on 4 June 1976. Sardar Shaukat Hayat met me as I was leaving the Assembly building and insisted that I accompany him to the prime minister's Chambers to meet Bhutto. We spoke for about fifteen minutes, once again receiving assurances from Bhutto that he was all in favour of settling his disputes with NAP leaders amicably. By now Bhutto's declarations held little value and I wondered at the real meaning behind our meeting. Only a short while later it dawned on me that I had become party to yet another stunt. Bhutto was off very shortly to Afghanistan, probably also to tell Sirdar Daud that NDP and he were working closely to resolve the dispute between the government and the jailed leaders.
Page 412 – In the middle of the night I received a disturbing call from my family. Five masked men had invaded the ground of my residence and, after knocking a sleeping servant unconscious, they tried to smash entry into the house. Unable to gain entry they then attempted to seize my cars. They managed to push one about ten feet towards the gate before the servants became alerted and rang the alarm. Members of my family then opened fire upon the intruders. Unfortunately in the dark all five intruders managed to flee unhurt.
I would learn some years later from an unimpeachable senior PPP source that the attack had been arranged by Jam Sadiq Ali under specific instructions of Bhutto, who probably wished to remind me of the vulnerability of my family.
Page 416/420 – On January 1977 Bhutto, who had dithered over the issue, announced suddenly that the elections would be held, two months later, on 7 March.
The first sign of the government's electoral intentions became publicly apparent when Maulana Jan Muhammad Abbasi, the PNA candidate contesting Bhutto's Larkana seat, was abducted by the police to prevent him from filing his papers against the PPP leader. Taking cue from the leader, a host of other PPP leaders opted to follow a similar electoral route to victory. This illustrious company included Mumtaz Ali Bhutto, Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, Liaquat Ali Jatoi, Mehran Khan Bijarani, Atta Muhammad Marri, Malik Sikander Khan, Sultan Ahmned Chandio, Yusuf Chandio and some others.
All four provincial Chief Ministers also ensured they would not be 'disgraced' by the presence of any rival candidate in their constituencies.
Rafi Raza stated : I met Bhutto on his return from Larkana —– I said his unopposed election was astonishing, no one could accept that the PNA candidate had simply failed to show up. The error was further compounded by the publicity given to the 'Undisputed leader', as if it were a presidential election. Bhutto tetchily asked why, if I was surprised at his unopposed election, I did not enquire how my friend Mumtaz was similarly elected from Larkana.
Kausar Niazi stated : One of Mr Bhutto's intense desire was well known to me, he had expressed that more than once in my presence. And that was – he wanted a victory with two thirds majority. Bhutto needed a two thirds majority in the National assembly to amend the Constitution to obtain his cherished goal of a presidential form of government. With him, of course, as the president.
Part V Concusion
Page 431 – the NWFP was a prime example of election misdeeds. Bhutto assigned Muhammad Hayat Taman, his political advisor, the task of making election preparations in NWFP. Gen Imtiaz, Bhutto's military secretary was sent there for three weeks to assist Taman.
The deputy commissioner (and returning officer) of Kohistan district, who was earlier asked to keep the results of his constituency a secret, was then summoned by the troika. He was threatened with dire consequences if he did not accede to the chief secretary's request to make up the deficiency in the PPP candidates votes and reverse the results. "On my hesitation the DIG took me aside and said my dismissal would not take days but hours, and many charges could be levelled against me"
US ambassador, Henry Byroade, who was with Bhutto as the election results came in, said, "the results we coming in at about 70%. He was losing Karachi. He was losing Peshawar. Then the Punjabi numbers started coming in and guys who were absolute thugs won by 99%. Bhutto became absolutely quiet and started drinking heavily, calling Lahore, he said, what are you people doing.
With our general consensus, Mufti Mahmood in a lengthy reply rejected Bhutto's offer of talks: "I regret to say you have again avoided to clarify your stand regarding countrywide pre-planned rigging of general elections. On 7th march, the country was subjected to a farce in the name of general elections. The admin- istration made every endeavour to subvert the national will and to ensure a new lease of life for a leader and a government which had been overwhelmingly rejected by the electorate –
Much publicity was given internationally to the joint resignations of Gen Gul Hasan and Air Marshal Rahim Khan as ambassadors to Greece and Spain respectively. They were soon to give an extremely hostile press conference in London against the Bhutto regime. They sent a letter to Gen Zia demanding that he decline from accepting illegal and undemocratic orders from a fascist Bhutto.
On the lighter side there was an amusing incident at Sihala jail. My son Sherazam, then a student at Karachi had flown to Rawalpindi, borrowed a car from Wali khan's son and come to visit me. When he was preparing to leave the car would not start. It had to be push-started. While Sherazam sat in the drivers seat the car was pushed by the whole PNA leadership consisting of Mufti Mahmood, Asghar Khan, Professor Ghafoor, Maulana Noorani and my self. With all the opposition heavyweights behind it the car had no option but to start immediately.
(the following is being included much against my grain, only to show the kind of man Bhutto was, and to what limits he could go):
On the sixth day of the hunger strike I experienced severe chest pains that almost rendered me unconscious. I sensed some one watching me from the other side of the bars. I was surprised to see the jail superintendent standing there all by himself. He seemed very perturbed for some reason. Then strangely he broke down, "as a jail superintendent I've done some awful things in my life but I have my limits. Bhutto Saheb personally rings me up almost daily to see if I have broken you yet. But today he gave me orders which, even though I am scared of him, I cannot obey. I have applied for leave and am taking off tomorrow. I'll face the consequences of my decision but my mind is made up". Then he warned me, "the deputy jail superintendent is a vicious man, I don't know what will happen when I'm gone" ———-
I had known Bhutto for some 23 years. To him lying, double-dealing and deceit were normal means of attaining and keeping power. His evident acceptance of new elections was now belied by his unexpected trip abroad. It was a clear indication that mischief was afoot.
During one of the PNA meetings at Sihala Asghar khan revealed disturbing news, Bhutto had decided to deal with the PNA hardliners once and for all. Bhutto had now concocted an ingenious plan by which Kausar Niazi and Ghulam Mustafa Khar would become victims of an assassination plan. In retaliation an enraged PPP mob would then proceed to murder Asghar Khan, Shah Ahmed Noorani and myself. This may seem a bit far fetched to some, but even Kausar Niazi, one of the plot's two sacrificial victims, believed in its authenticity.
Gen Arif writes about a very revealing episode: "Gen Zia expressed his apprehension to Bhutto that, if the agitation did not end, it could erode army's discipline and cause division in the ranks. This would be a disaster for the army and for the country. Mr Bhutto sensed the mood and laid on the charm, "you are my brother and I trust you". He asked Gen Zia not to get unduly worried as the government did not plan to employ the army in a hurry again. He went on to confide that he had taken 'other measures' to deal with the PNA situation. That statement rang an alarm in Gen Zia's mind".
The rest is history.

Governor Deval Patrick and other gun control advocates are renewing their push for tougher gun laws in Massachusetts in the aftermath of the massacre at a Connecticut elementary school.
Patrick said Monday that he urged House and Senate leaders to act on legislation that he previously introduced, which would, among other changes, forbid buyers from purchasing more than one gun a month. The bill has languished in the Legislature for at least two years.
Patrick also called on Congress to enact a federal assault weapons ban, similar to the one in Massachusetts, which would have prohibited the purchase of the semiautomatic rifle that was used in the Connecticut shooting. Massachusetts is only one of a handful of states that has continued a ban on so-called assault weapons after Congress let a similar ban expire in 2004.
Authorities say that Adam Lanza used an AR-15 style semiautomatic rifle in his rampage, which killed 20 children and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Lanza, who also killed his mother in a separate shooting, took his own life.
In addition to the rifle, Lanza also brought a 10-millimeter Glock and a 9-millimeter Sig Sauer. The weapons were registered to his mother, Nancy Lanza.
Beyond a federal assault weapons ban, Patrick said Monday that there are other state-level measures that need to be taken to ensure firearms do not fall into the wrong hands. Patrick's proposal would also enroll Massachusetts in a national mental health registry for firearm background checks and impose registration requirements for firearm purchases at gun shows.
"I hope the gun lobby will join us in this discussion," Patrick told reporters, "because I think everybody believes – a lot of us do – that there must be some kind of balance that can be struck between the interests of sportsmen and hunters and the need to keep automatic weapons and large magazines with all these rounds and the kind of ammunition that was used in Newtown off the streets."
Representatives for House and Senate leaders said they would consider Patrick's proposal. Both House Speaker Robert DeLeo and Senate President Therese Murray released statements pledging to launch a discussion in the next session. Federal lawmakers have also said that they will submit proposals for a new federal assault weapons ban when they return to session next month.
Gun rights advocates argued that the debate on public safety should center on the treatment of the mentally ill, noting that those behind mass shootings have later been found to have had mental health problems that went unnoticed.
Jim Wallace, of the Gun Owners Action League, in Northborough, also argued that tougher gun laws put more strain on law-abiding gun owners than the criminals who illegally obtain guns. The number of licensed gun owners in Massachusetts has plunged from a million and a half when tougher laws went into effect in 1998 to 230,000 today, he said, and still the number of gun crimes has increased.
"Overbearing gun control is simply not going to be the answer," he said.
Nationally, the renewed debate over gun control has centered on assault weapons, generally described as semiautomatic weapons capable of accepting magazine clips with capacities greater than 10 rounds, though gun rights activists say there is no general rule and that assault weapons are meant to describe fully automatic, military style machine guns.
The federal ban of 1994 listed several guns, but gun control advocates say that manufacturers simply began making similar guns with new names.Milton J. Valencia can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Here's an exceedingly rare event, a corrupt prosecutor (now a judge) is actually being prosecuted for concealing evidence of a defendant's innocence. And it's happening in Texas, of all places, where a fellow judge blasted the former prosecutor while ordering his arrest:
Former Williamson County District Attorney Ken Anderson was arrested and booked into jail and then released on bail Friday after a specially convened court found that he intentionally hid evidence to secure Michael Morton's 1987 conviction for murder.
In a blunt and scathing ruling, District Judge Louis Sturns said Anderson acted to defraud the trial court and Morton's defense lawyers, resulting in an innocent man serving almost 25 years in prison.
"This court cannot think of a more intentionally harmful act than a prosecutor's conscious choice to hide mitigating evidence so as to create an uneven playing field for a defendant facing a murder charge and a life sentence," Sturns said.Sturns, presiding over a court of inquiry that examined the Morton prosecution, found probable cause to believe that Anderson broke two state laws and committed criminal contempt of court for lying to Morton's trial judge. He then signed a warrant for Anderson's arrest as required under state law governing courts of inquiry.
Morton was freed in 2011 when DNA evidence showed that he didn't kill his wife, after nearly 25 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Unfortunately, Anderson cannot be sued for framing him because the Supreme Court gives prosecutors absolute immunity from civil suit. The only other option is what is happening here, which is incredibly rare.
