Maddow Falsely Claims Black Juror Booted From Murder Trial for Protesting Confederate Flag at Courthouse
Rachel Maddow on Monday again demonstrated how absolutely pathetic a journalist she is.
Without anything in the court records to support her assertion - in fact, the transcript of the proceedings thoroughly refutes it - Maddow claimed on the MSNBC program bearing her name that an African-American man was tossed off a Louisiana jury in a 2009 murder trial because he protested the presence of a Confederate flag in front of the courthouse (video follows with transcript and extensive commentary):
RACHEL MADDOW: The United States has the highest documented incarceration rate of any country in the world. We like to spend money locking people up here. We put more of our own citizens in prison than any other country in the world. USA, USA, USA!
This is an accurate statistic. However, Maddow chose to not inform her viewers that America also has the world's eighth highest crime rate. You think there's a correlation?
MADDOW: That said, only a small proportion of those locked up in the U.S. are locked up by the federal government. In federal prison, most of the Americans in prison are in prisons that are run by the states. So, in the most incarcerated country on earth, what's the most incarcerated place in the country? It is not that easy to find out.
Not that easy to find out? Well, all I did was a Google search of the words "incarceration rates by state" and I immediately found a nice chart at Public Agenda. But I digress:
MADDOW: But at the Web site of the Sentencing Project, they've got this cool, nifty rollover map where you can get the incarceration rate for every state in the country just by moving your mouse around the country. And you can see when you do it that way that the use of prison in this country all essentially just drips down to the Southeast and it pools in Louisiana. All of the highest rates of incarceration are in the Southeast, but the closer you get to Louisiana, the higher your rate of locking up your citizens more or less.
The national average per 100,000 population is about 500 people in prison -- 500 nationally. Louisiana is at 881. The only states that come anywhere near Louisiana in terms of how much of their population they lock up are the states that touch Louisiana or that try to -- Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma. They are vaguely in competition with Louisiana but are left way behind.
In the country that locks up more people than anywhere in the world, by a mile, Louisiana locks up more people than anywhere else by a mile.
By a mile? Hardly.
According to Public Agenda, Louisiana's incarceration rate per 100,000 is 865. Mississippi's is 734, or about 15 percent lower.
What Maddow also chose to not inform her viewers was that in 2008, Louisiana had the third highest crime rate in the nation. This was down from number two in 2007. Think there's a correlation?
Taking this further, if you have a lot of crime in your state, wouldn't you want a high incarceration rate? Wouldn't that be a sign that the criminal justice system was working, and that police and prosecuting attorneys were doing a good job of bringing criminals to justice?
Conversely, wouldn't a low incarceration rate in a high crime state suggest those involved in law enforcement were doing a poor job?
Such logic obviously eluded Maddow as she instead opted to blame Louisiana's high incarceration rate on - wait for it! - the Confederacy:
MADDOW: During the Confederacy, during the course of the Civil War, Louisiana as a Confederate state had three different state capitals. They had to keep giving up their state capitals and founding new ones as Union troops kept invading them and taking them over in succession. The only Confederate Louisiana state capital that Union troops did not take over, as far as I understand it, was the city of Shreveport, tucked up into the far northwest corner of the state. Shreveport held on even after Robert E. Lee surrendered in April, 1865. They held on as long as they could.
In the reconstruction era just after the Civil War, Caddo Parish earned the nickname the "bloody Caddo" for its high proportion of black citizens who were murdered. Congressional inquiries and historians documented the white posses and paramilitary organizations that maintained Caddo parish as the last stand of the Confederacy in more ways than one.
In 1902, Caddo Parish gifted a parcel of land to the daughters of the Confederacy to put up this monument. It is a monument to Caddo Parish being supposedly the last place on land where the Confederate flag was lowered after the South lost the war. The monument has busts of four Confederate generals, Confederate general its corner. Its top has an anonymous Confederate soldier holding a rifle. Cleo, the muse of history, is depicted below the words "Lest we forget."
That monument went up in front of the courthouse in 1902. In 1951, in case, the meaning wasn't clear enough, with those four Confederate generals and all the rest -- in 1951, they added to it -- they added a flag pole and the Confederate flag. And there it stands, still, outside the Caddo Parish courthouse today in 2011.
Got that? So, there's a Confederate monument and flag in front of the courthouse. Now here comes the punch line:
MADDOW: Two years ago this week, a 30-year resident of Shreveport named Carl Staples was summoned to jury duty at that courthouse, the one with the confederate monument and flag out front. Mr. Staples called the parish clerk's office to say he did not want to attend jury duty because of that Confederate flag out front. The clerk told him a warrant would be interest -- a warrant for his arrest would be issued if he did not show up to serve. So, Carl Staples went to the courthouse to fulfill his civic responsibility. He ended up in the case of an African-American man accused of killing a white man.
Notice how Maddow glossed over the charges?
Felton Dorsey was accused of staging a home invasion robbery with an accomplice in which they bound a 79-year-old woman to a chair while they looted her home. When her son, a recently retired fire chief, stopped by to check on her, they beat him to death in front of his mother and set the house on fire with both of them still in it.
The elderly woman managed to escape, fleeing past her son's burning body to get help. His brother responded to the scene extinguishing the blaze that included his brother's remains.
The prosecution presented evidence during the trial including cell phone records, multiple accomplice witnesses, testimony from the defendant's own girlfriend and her cousin. The murder weapon was found under the defendant's bed with his DNA and that of the victim's on it.
So convincing was the case that the jury only deliberated for 45 minutes before finding the defendant guilty as charged.
You can see why Maddow chose to ignore these inconvenient details. She also opted to not tell her viewers that the judge presiding over the trial, John D. Mosely, was a highly-respected African-American jurist in the Parish. But I once again digress:
MADDOW: During the jury selection process, Mr. Staples restated his objection to the Confederate flag flying yards away. He told the courtroom that it was "a symbol of one of the most heinous crimes ever committed to another member of the human race and I just don't see how you could say that. I mean, you're here for justice and then again you overlook this great injustice by continuing to fly this flag."
Readers are advised that while Maddow was saying this, a photo of Monday's Wall Street Journal article concerning this matter was on the screen. Although she may have used this piece as a source of information, she offered her viewers conclusions neither reached by the Journal nor supported by the court transcripts:
MADDOW: The prosecutor in the case moved to strike Carl Staples from the jury, saying that based on those comments, he could not be fair in the case. The judge granted the motion. There were seven remaining qualified black prospective jurors. The prosecution successfully moved to strike five of them.
But Carl Staples was taken off that jury specifically because of his stated objections to the Confederate flag flying outside the courthouse. The jury in the end consisted of 11 white people and one African-American, one African-American woman. The man on trial in the case is named Felton Dorsey. He was eventually convicted. He was sentenced to death.
This is utter nonsense, and could easily have been refuted if Maddow and her staff bothered to take the time to review Staples' questioning in the courtroom.
Although complicated and lengthy, it is important for readers to not only understand just how absurd Maddow's position was, but also how easy it would have been to identify the truth if she or those involved in her program cared to do so. The following comes directly from the transcript of the court proceeding involving jury selection for the trial of Felton Dorsey. Readers are advised that such transcripts can contain many spelling and punctuation errors:
BRADY O'CALLAGHAN, PROSECUTING ATTORNEY QUESTION. Sir, do you think your concern about your wife's ability to go to work and do whatever she needs to do would distract YOU i f you were selected as a juror?
A. (By Mr. Brown) Yes, it would.
Q. Do you feel.that it would prevent you from giving either side a fair trial based on the evidence?
A. (By Mr. Brown) Yes, it would.
Q. How about you, Mr. Staples?
A. (By Mr. Staples) I have personal convictions in regards to the criminal justice system.
Q. Okay. And, you know, I am happy to talk to you about that in just a minute.
A. (By Mr. Staples) Okay.
Q. I want to just stay focused on the sequestration issue for right now. And then a little later in the voir dire, I think there
would be a good opportunity for us to explore those and see if it's going to impair you too much.
A. (By Mr. Staples) I would like to explain it in private with the judge and the court officials.
Q. We can make those arrangements. I'll make a note.
A. (By Mr. Staples) Okay.
Q. Just focusing on the sequestration issue, would it present a hardship fo'r you, Mr. Staples?
A. (By Mr. Staples) It would.
Q. Can you explain, please.
A. (By Mr. Staples) Well, financially. I only have a part-time job.
Q. If you were to miss, am I correct in gathering that you won't get p a i d if you don't work?
A. (By Mr. Staples) I won't get paid.
Q. Would the lost income from a week or two of sequestration put you i n d i r e f i n a n c i a l straits as far as any house payments or rent or anything like that?
A. (By Mr. Staples) Yes, it would.
Q. Do you feel that your concerns about the financial situation might keep you from giving both sides a fair trial and that you
might be distracted from hearing all the evidence and listening to the arguments of the lawyers?
A. (By Mr. Staples) I believe my opinions that I have to express to the Court in regards to the system, I think that might be more detrimental in say this gentleman having a fair trial.
So, when Staples was first questioned concerning the potential of him serving on the jury, he made it clear that he didn't want to. This was not only for financial reasons but also personal ones that he wanted to discuss in private.
This is obviously in stark contrast to Maddow's claim, "Carl Staples went to the courthouse to fulfill his civic responsibility."
Later, during questioning by first the prosecution and then the defense, Staples made clear why he was opposed to serving:
MR. O'CALLAGHAN: Your Honor, back on the record, we are outside the presence of the prospective jurors. We were discussing at the bench, the State would suggest subject to any defense counsel's objection returning those jurors who expressed significant hardships about sequestration, expressed significant preconceived opinions based on pretrial publicity, and I would like to bring back Mr. Staples to find out what his issues with the entire criminal justice.
(Whereupon the prospective juror was seated in the courtroom.)
THE COURT: That's fine right there, Mr. Staples. We just brought you in to ask you a few questions outside the presence of the other jurors. Is the State ready proceed.
MR. O'CALLAGHAN: Yes, Your Honor. Thank you, sir.
Q. Mr. Staples, you v o i c e d some -- I don't want to put words in your mouth -- some grave concerns or some attitudes about the criminal justice that you felt needed to be explored privately. This is as about as p r i v a t e a s we can g e t . I f you c o u l d share that with us, so you can let us know if you think that's going to affect your jury service.
A. (By Mr. Staples) I do not fully embrace the criminal j u s t i c e system due t o t h e fact tha't I had the experience of some
so-called injustices in growing up in Chicago. I was born and raised in Chicago.
Q. Okay.
A. (By Mr. Staples) During the '60s and ' 7 0 s .
Q. And that was a turbulent time.
A. Very turbulent time, very turbulent.
Q. Do you feel that those attitudes and those experiences in Chicago, you know, two things, one, I'm not trying to argue wit'h you.I'm just trying to get how you f e e l .
A. (By Mr. Staples) Okay.
Q. And maybe we disagree on this, but it has been a while.
A. (By Mr. Staples) About forty-one years.
Q. It's a different, you know, different time. Do you think that you still have some issues with the criminal justice system even though that time has passed and there have been a lot of changes in our country?
A. (By Mr. S t a p l e s ) I s t i l l have issues.
Q. Do you think that those would impair you from being a fair juror to either side?
A. (By Mr. Staples) They would.
Q. I'll just go ahead and ask, I think I know, but which side do you f e e l l i k e YOU would have problem accepting or giving a fair shake?
A. (By Mr. Staples) Well, as I said before, I just don't embrace the system wholeheartedly. I do respect the laws which
were say implemented say by the f e d e r a l government, state governments or local governments, so on. I do respect and abide by the laws, but so far as participating in the say penalties that are being issued for breaking those laws, I don't feel that I would a good person to have that power delegated to someone.
Q. Do you think you would find it really hard to ever convict anyone of a crime?
A. (By Mr. Staples) I would, I would.
For those familiar with a criminal voir dire, this would have been enough for the prosecuting attorney to challenge this juror. You can't have on a jury someone that admits he would find it hard ever convicting anyone of a crime.
Readers are also advised that Staples up to this point had not said one word about the Confederate flag in front of the courthouse. This would not come up at all during prosecution's examination:
Q. I mean, I appreciate your candor. So is there anything that I say or the defense lawyer likely to change your view about that?
A. (By Mr. Staples) The events that occurred made a very profound effect on my, say, psyche or existence or whatever. And if you would like for me to elaborate, I would.
Q. I mean, if you feel comfortable. I'm not -- I need to know whether or not you can be a fair juror. I need to know that. And I feel like you are telling me, if you want to share what happened to make that clearer, by all means.
A. (By Mr. Staples) I guess you could say I'm a throwback to the ' 6 0 s . I was, like I said, attending school in Chicago. T h e r e was an incident that occurred at one of the elementary schools where a child was struck by a bus. And there was no stoplight at this particular intersection where the s c h o o l k i d s would frequent, say, after school. And a friend of mine, personal friend of mine, by the Johnny Sotre, he organized a protest to, say, protest against the city and the other people in power or whatever to have a stop light installed at this particular corner.
This bears repeating: the prospective juror's negative feelings about the criminal justice system go back to when he was a child in Chicago. To this point, he had still said not one word about the Confederate flag in front of a courthouse in Louisiana:
A. (By Mr. Staples) This went on for I guess several weeks and, of course, the city gave in and the stoplight was installed. And several weeks after this had occurred,, this young gentleman was gunned down by a member of the Chicago Police Department. And it was the usual scenario which was given in, say, as a result of something like this, it was said that he was stopped to be questioned and a scuffled ensued, the gun went off and the ricochet hit him in the back of the head. Okay. Now, on the day of his funeral -- this was once again in Chicago -- his brother was summoned. He was serving in Vietnam. His older brother was summoned to come home for the funeral. On the day of his funeral, his older brother was also gunned down by the Chicago Police Department. This was under the pretense that he had robbed t h e A & P Grocery store after the funeral. And this, like I said, these incidents of, I would call them, just flagrant injustice, you know, i t ' s just made a p r o f o u n d effect or impact on me, and I have reservations about the so-called criminal justice system in that regard.
So, folks were allegedly shot by Chicago police officers decades ago, and this led the prospective juror to have a negative view of our criminal justice system.
Readers are reminded that if anyone at MSNBC affiliated with the "Rachel Maddow Show" wanted to find out the truth about this prospective juror, the full PDF of these proceedings is public record. But I once again digress:
A. (By Mr. Staples) Also, the night that -- you probably heard a b o u t it -- t h e Fred Hampton, Mark Clark, the former leaders of the Chicago Black Panther Party or whatever, they were assassinated, and this was at the beh.est or the direction of the states attorney. This was the order that was given down from the states attorneys office. And of course the state attorney, Edward B. Hanrahan.' And the morning that this occurred, I was,coming from what we call a gig, I was a musician, I played with a band. And I was jostled by the Chicago police, four members of the Chicago Police Department, and I was searched. There was no probable cause for that search. I was searched. My instrument was taken apart and so on, and I was kind of roughed up. And I didn't know what had happened previous to this until I had gotten to school the next morning. And, like I said, that's another one of the reasons that's going to be part of my conviction is to having this feeling in regards the criminal justice system. Also --
Q. Mr. Staples, let me stop you there.
A. (By Mr. Staples) Okay.
Q. I think I get everything you're saying and I feel that it's fair to say you feel strongly about this?
A. (By Mr. Staples) I really do.
MR. O'CALLAGHAN: I appreciate it, sir. I'm not trying to cut you o f f . I think I understand where you're coming from.
THE J U R O R : (By Mr. Staples) Thank you.
MR. -0'CALLAGHAN: No further questions, Your Honor.
At this point, the prosecuting attorney had heard enough, and was obviously going to challenge this prospective juror after the defense finished its voir dire. As not one word about the Confederate flag in front of the courthouse had yet been raised by Staples, how could this have had anything to do with why he was dismissed?
Yet, as Maddow continued with her fact-challenged indictment Monday, she disgracefully said:
MADDOW: And Mr. Dorsey maintains that he is innocent of the crime for which he has been sentenced to die. He is challenging his conviction and sentence. Today, Felton Dorsey's attorney from the ACLU Capital Punishment Project, his attorney, incidentally, is a white woman attorney who is from Caddo Parish, she argued at the Louisiana state Supreme Court in New Orleans today that Mr. Dorsey's conviction should be overturned.
Carl Staples was struck off that jury explicitly because he objected to the Confederate flag flying outside that courtroom. And so, in the most highly incarcerated state of the most highly incarcerated country on earth, where 32 percent of Louisiana's population is black but 70 percent of its prison population is black, do we accept that it is a prerequisite for serving on a jury that you do not object to doing so under the Confederate flag?
Louisiana Supreme Court started mulling that over today. I thought we stopped mulling over stuff like this 146 years ago this spring at Appomattox, but we will keep you posted on what they figure out in New Orleans.
Despite the prosecution's examination of Staples not resulting in one single word about the Confederate flag in front of that courthouse, Maddow had the gall to claim otherwise Monday night.
Moving forward, when defense attorney Alan Golden had his shot at Staples, the prospective juror was equally dismissive of our criminal justice system:
Q. Mr. Staples, despite our failings in the past and despite the errors that we made, can you think of any system of justice in the world that's better than ours?
A. (By Mr. Staples) No, I cannot.
Q. Who do you think makes our system work?
A. (By Mr. Staples) Well, the people.
Q. Who is the great leveler of the truth?
A. (By Mr. Staples) (No response.)
Q. What is the great leveler of all men; isn't it the jury system?
A. (By Mr. Staples) When it works, yes, it is. But still again, you ha've to realize that the jury system you still have the human element involved. We, as human beings, are governed by our emotions, and a lot of emotions are just inherent.
Q. True.
A. (By Mr. Staples) That say of love, hate, anger and happiness and so on, there's always going to be that variable there, that is going to affect the outcome, the total outcome of any decision that might be made by a so-called jur.y.
Q. Mr. S t a p l e s .
A. (BY Mr. Staples) Yes, sir.
Q. Do you believe that sometimes jurors make bad decisions?
A. (By Mr. Staples) Yes, they do.
Q. And as a result of those bad decisions, there are sometimes miscarriages of justice?
A. (By Mr. Staples) Yes.
Q. And sometimes those miscarriages result in wrongful convictions.
A. (By Mr. Staples) Um-hum.
Q. Wrongful sentences, right?
A. (By Mr. Staples) That's right.
Q. Sometimes wrongful acquittals of somebody who is really guilty.
A. (By Mr. Staples) That's right. It works both ways.
Q. And in order to make it better or more perfect takes good people, doesn't it?
A. (By Mr. Staples) It does.
Q. Are you a man of conviction?
A. (By Mr. Staples) I am a man of conviction, sir.
Q. You are a man who's not only seen but apparently experienced some wrongdoing?
A. (By Mr. Staples) I have lived through it. I didn't tell you about t h e shakedown by the police --
Q . That's okay, but I understand you went through a lot.
A. (By Mr. Staples) Yeah, it was quite a bit, v e r y traumatic.
Q. Let's say you were arrested for a crime right, right here, what kind of juror would you want to decide that case?
A. (By Mr. Staples) (No response.)
Q. Decide your case, your guilt or innocence?
A. (By Mr. Staples) Well, most of all, you would want an impartial juror, someone who is not going. to say l o o k at certain aspects of the character. I mean, the way you dress, the way you talk, the way you look, and so on, that's impartial.
Q. Somebody who is impartial?
A. (By Mr. Staples) Impartial.
Q. You would want someone who's objective?
A. (By Mr. Staples) Objective, yes.
Q. Someone who is articulate.
A. (By Mr. Staples) Yes.
Q. Somebody who is diligent in listening to the evidence and analyzing the evidence, right?
A. (By Mr. Staples) Yes, sir.
Q. Could you be such a person?
A. (By Mr. Staples) I don't think so, no.
Q. Why couldn't you be?
A. (By Mr. S t a p l e s ) I couldn't be objective. I couldn't be. The scars are too deep. The scars are too deep.
This also bears repeating: the prospective juror told defendant's counsel that he could not be "diligent in listening to the evidence and analyzing the evidence" and "couldn't be objective." That's ball game over for a prospective juror. The defense attorney probably would have stricken him for this.
Yet, despite Maddow's claim Monday, Staples had still not said one word about the Confederate flag in front of that courthouse. But he was about to when further pressed by the defense:
Q. S e e , here's what I am having a problem with.
A. (By Mr. Staples) Okay.
Q. Is that you'.re complaining about a system that you feel is sometimes unjust and yet, you understand what the basic flaws are that we have sometimes, and'yet because of your understanding, you would seem like the perfect juror who could help remedy that, but yet you are unwilling to put in that position to help make it better. Do you see the inconsistency?
A. (By Mr. ,Staples) Well, I guess you could say it's an inconsistency there, but I just don't buy into it. I don't. You speak of justice here in the'se, you call these halls of justice or the courthouse, this is the place where justice is administered and so on. I came to Shreveport in 1975. Okay. There was an issue some years back, I don't mean to get off the subject, but I guess it would be considered also in regards to say the law, in front of the courthouse, the Confederate flag flies., Okay. This a symbol of one of the most, to me, one of the most h e i n o u s crimes ever committed to another member of the human race, and I just don't see how you could say that, I mean, you're here for justice, and then again you overlook this great injustice by continuing to f l y this flag
which continues to say put salt in the wounds of say people of color, I don't buy it. I don't buy it. And it is not --
Q* Mr. Staples.
A. (By Mr. Staples) -- prejudice or anything like that, but it's just the idea.
Q. Mr. Staples.
A. (By Mr. Staples) It's contradicting. You are contradicting yourself.
So, finally, after almost ten pages of transcript, and having been examined by the prosecution and the defense, Staples brought up the Confederate flag.
Did this seem like his entire motive for not wanting to serve on that jury? Certainly not, for his experiences in Chicago decades before were what made him distrusting of our criminal justice system.
Interestingly, the defense attorney didn't buy into Staples' concern about the flag, and continued to press in order to find a juror that would be suitable to his team:
Q. We can't solve all the problems of the world.
A. (By Mr. Staples) No, we can't.
Q. But right now we have a specific case that's coming to trial for a very, very serious offense, and we are trying to make this the best system that we can. It takes conscientious people to do that. And what you have expressed are conscientious scruples about a variety of issues. So that tells me that you 'are conscientious person; am I right?
A. (By Mr. Staples) You are right.
Q. But yet you don't want to help make the system better by adding yourself, your conscientious self into the process as a conscientious decision-maker. You don't want to give us the b e n e f i t of your insights,.your objective way of looking at things.
A. (By Mr. Staples) No, I don't.
Q. You're saying you could not be fair and impartial?
A. (BY Mr. Staples) I could n o t be f a i r and impartial. Like I said, I don't embrace the system wholeheartedly. I'll abide by the laws. I will not break the laws and that's as f a r as I can go with i t . That's as f a r as I can go.
Q. You are unwilling to help US administer it, though; is that what you're saying?
A. (By Mr. Staples) Yes, that's the best I can do.
This also bears repeating: Staples said he couldn't be fair and impartial and was unwilling to help in this trial. As a result, the defense had heard enough:
M R . G O L D E N : T h a n k you. No further questions.
THE COURT: Anything further by the State?
MR. 0'CALLAGHA.N: No, Your Honor.
THE COURT: All right. Thank you, Mr. Staples. You may return outside, and we will call you back shortly.
(Whereupon the prospective juror was excused from the courtroom.)
MR. O'CALLAGHAN: Your Honor, the State would move to excuse Mr. Staples for cause, his inability to be fair and impartial, his characterization that the scars of his past, adverse experiences with the criminal justice system are too deep for him to be a fair impartial juror or ever conceive of returning a guilty verdict in any case in a criminal justice system in this country. The State would respectfully submit that constitutes valid challenge for cause.
MR. GOLDEN: No objection.
THE COURT: So ordered.
(Whereupon the prospective juror was excused from the venire panel.)
Readers are advised the defense did not object to Staples being excused.
In summation, what Maddow presented to her viewers Monday evening was a farce and a sham. In any other industry, such negligence would meet with severe disciplinary action and/or termination.
Consider this segment from Maddow's report:
During the jury selection process, Mr. Staples restated his objection to the Confederate flag flying yards away. He told the courtroom that it was "a symbol of one of the most heinous crimes ever committed to another member of the human race and I just don't see how you could say that. I mean, you're here for justice and then again you overlook this great injustice by continuing to fly this flag."
The prosecutor in the case moved to strike Carl Staples from the jury, saying that based on those comments, he could not be fair in the case.
Absolute nonsense. Here's what O'Callaghan said after the defense attorney finished his voir dire:
Your Honor, the State would move to excuse Mr. Staples for cause, his inability to be fair and impartial, his characterization that the scars of his past, adverse experiences with the criminal justice system are too deep for him to be a fair impartial juror or ever conceive of returning a guilty verdict in any case in a criminal justice system in this country. The State would respectfully submit that constitutes valid challenge for cause.
He didn't say one single word about his strike being about Staples' comments concerning the Confederate flag. Not one.
As I said earlier, every prosecutor worth his salt in this country would have stricken this prospective juror as soon as he said he couldn't conceive of returning a guilty verdict in any case and couldn't be fair or objective. That Maddow and Company misrepresented this was gross negligence on their part.
But their media malpractice didn't end there for Maddow also said, "Carl Staples was taken off that jury specifically because of his stated objections to the Confederate flag flying outside the courthouse."
Hogwash. The moment the examination of Staples began, he was asking to be excused. This request went to both the defense and the prosecution.
Staples was taken off that jury because he said he couldn't return a guilty verdict on any case and could be neither objective nor impartial. Such statements would disqualify a prospective juror in every state in this nation. The transcript bears this out.
But Maddow and her crack research team clearly didn't bother reading the transcript. Apart from the previously referenced Journal piece, they instead relied on the amicus brief filed by the ACLU concerning Staples and the Dorsey case. Much as Maddow's segment Monday, it contained a history of Caddo Parish as well as background concerning the Confederate monument and flag in front of the courthouse in question.
Maybe in the future, Maddow and Company ought to do some research on their own for reports they're about to air rather than just mimicking documents filed by the ACLU.
Unfortunately, this appears far too much to ask from people associated with this abomination of a "news" network.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with your premise that Rachel Maddow is a journalist.
In order to be a journalist you actually have to practice the elements and standards required of the profession.
While Maddow may have a PhD in some political field, she has no formal education in journalism. And if she had a journalism background she would know what separates professionals from the so-called professionals is truth and objectivity. As reporters, we all bring our baggage to the news we cover. As professionals, we try our hardest to be objective knowing full well that we are biased.
Rachel Maddow is nothing more than a commentator on a low rated political cable channel As they say at MSNBC, it's the place for politics, and that ain't news.

If she really does have a PhD not purchased from a 1-800 number, then we have yet another proof of the absolutely foul state of the American University system and its leftward slant. Not only is she blinded by her ideology, she seems to be incapable of understanding the written English language.

A comment at the Daily caller points out that she didn't even include Herman Cain in her summation of the Republican Party candidates, their debate and her ridiculous idea that "The Beltway" is covering up for the republicans by not talking about social issues. Cain wasn't in the picture, wasn't even mentioned. Why would she leave out the only black conservative candidate? Fear? Fear of losing to him? or fear of his color? Either way, she's an idiot.

An excellent article and well researched. La has been the target of "racers" many times distorting the facts to continue their lies. Bobby Jindal embarrassed Obama over the spill and the subsequent moratorium. They promptly sent the DOJ to investigate Jindal on an irrelevant bureaucratic regulatory issue and found nothing. La will now pay the price of revenge, with media complicity, in further dissing of La.
Setting the record straight with your in depth research is greatly appreciated.

The juror hasn't grown up since his childhood, and can't make a distinction between Chicago cops in 1970 and punishing someone for a heinous murder. Whatever he has to say about the Confederate flag really doesn't matter. He can't think logically. Case closed.

"MADDOW: During the Confederacy, during the course of the Civil War, Louisiana as a Confederate state had three different state capitals.
They had to keep giving up their state capitals and founding new ones as Union troops kept invading them and taking them over in succession."
That happens a lot during war, one force invades the territory of the other force.
"The only Confederate Louisiana state capital that Union troops did not take over, as far as I understand it, was the city of Shreveport, tucked up into the far northwest corner of the state."
"In the reconstruction era just after the Civil War,"
It would have been kinda hard during the war, and not necessary before the war ya think?
"It is a monument to Caddo Parish being supposedly the last place on land where the Confederate flag was lowered after the South lost the war."
That happens, gotta have a first and ya gotta have a last, that's kinda sorta how thins work.

I just got done with two days of jury duty yesterday, and as is the case every time I go, there are a few prospective jurors who will say anything to get off the jury. We had one guy yesterday who thought he was on the Dr. Phil show and he needed to tell his entire life story. The Judge finally had enough of him and booted him. Too bad we don't have courts that could try "journalists" like Maddow on the veracity of their reporting. She would be sentenced to 100 years in a women's prison, which, of course, she would enjoy thoroughly, I imagine.

I was called to jury duty only once so far and was voted off the island...er...not selected on the basis of the first question regarding how many law enforcement officers I was related to and knew personally. After about a dozen listed just off the top of my head, I was told what I had supplied was sufficient and I was excused. The case hinged on police testimony so the defense was asking that question to everyone.

Maddow's Madness
Submitted by Jer on Thu, 05/12/2011 - 9:01am.
It is highly unlikely--make that a manifest impossibility--this prospective juror would have ever been stricken by the defense. Counsel pulled out all the stops in a desperate attempt to squeeze a pledge of conscientiousness from Staples and portray him as the beau ideal citizen/juror, but it was a futile venture and his rejection a reality with which even Mr. Golden became reconciled.
As a treatise cataloging the pernicious effects of racism in general and the lingering symbolic effrontery represented by the Confederate flag in particular, the amicus brief is a modest addition to the hundreds of thousands of similar documents which have preceded it. As a persuasive argument for overturning the murder conviction of this defendant, it is horseshit.

A black defendant is accused of murdering a white man and the prospective juror is an African-American with a deep-seated mistrust of law enforcement and the judicial system? Two initials: O. J.
There is no way a defense attorney wouldn't want him on the jury if it were a possibility. It would have virtually guaranteed a hung jury at a minimum. The voir dire revealed an unacceptable bias however.

Submitted by Jer on Thu, 05/12/2011 - 5:00pm.
I think in nearly all, if not all, jurisdictions capital cases must be tried before jurors who are not inherently opposed to the death penalty.
In this case, the voir dire of Staples clearly shows the defense attorney pressing him [in vain] to admit he could render an impartial verdict--which might have at least forced the prosecution to expend one of its limited peremptory challenges. Being dismissed "for cause" meant the state didn't need to waste one of those challenges.
O.J. was jury nullification, pure and simple. More inculpatory evidence was presented against Simpson than any other defendant in any trial in the history of American jurisprudence (although the case was miserably prosecuted by Marcia Clark). It was reminiscent of the travesties of justice which routinely occurred at the hands of all-white juries deciding black victim/white perpetrator cases in the Jim Crow South.

The May 22, 2011 Joplin, Missouri tornado was the deadliest single tornado since modern records began in 1950.
This historic event led The National Weather Service to assess their active warning system.
Now, an impact based warning system is being tested across fourteen states in the Midwest.
The goals of the impact based warnings are to provide more information to the media and emergency managers.
But more importantly improve the public response time to create a better understanding in life-threatening weather events.
When you hear the sound of a warning siren, you want to know if you need to brace for a tornado.
The first source of information comes from the warning system alerting the public that dangerous weather is approaching. That is why more specific warnings could lead to saving lives.
"We're trying to put the most important information first. And primarily to get people to know what exactly is going on and exactly how they need to respond to it to protect themselves and their families," said Jane Hollingsworth, Meteorologist in Charge at NWS Tallahassee.
The Weather Service is now narrowing down the information for the people most likely to be in the path of the storm.
"Try to get people to take the correct action and more quickly. And what we are trying to do is distinguish between the weaker storms and the very high impact storms," said Jane Hollingsworth.
"In my hands I have an example of both the traditional based warnings that we use here in South Georgia and the new impact based warnings. There are some key differences between these that may be beneficial to keeping you safe," said WALB Meteorologist Ryan Beesley.
The impacted based warnings clearly highlight the main threat within the storm breaking it down into separate categories hazard, source and impact. Each category helps clarify the significance of the situation. As you can see the traditional based warnings are focused on where the storm is and when the storm will arrive vs. what the storm is producing and how it can impact your area.
Enhanced terminology is already being used across the nation within the warning system to stress the dangers of the storm approaching such as Tornado Emergency.
"If you think it is going to be a very catastrophic tornado or going to hit a major metropolitan area or town or city. Than it is forecaster discretion whether you want to invoke that type of language. And we do it here," said Jane Hollingsworth.
It is hard to prove whether if these impact based warnings are helping to save more lives.
But the weather service believes that stressing the most essential information and making the terminology easier to understand will improve public safety.
Weather Emergency Management personal are waiting for validation of the warnings before taking it nationwide.
The process is projected to be finalized in the next year or two, but could take longer.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's bill to allow public-private partnerships finance road construction has passed the House Roads and Transportation Committee.
Members voted April 4 to move the bill, which would allow private entities to fund the construction of major roads and bridges across the state and allow public-private partnership projects to use money from the State Road Fund when the project is in excess of $20 million, among other provisions. Though Senate Bill 190 is supported by Tomblin and passed the Senate unanimously, some delegates had a few issues with the bill.
First, Delegate Scott Cadle, R-Mason, said he heard of a case in Indiana where a company entered into a public-private partnership with the state and bought a toll road. The company then proceeded to raise tolls on that road. Cadle found that particularly disheartening in part because constituents in his county had to fight against tolls being placed on Route 35 so construction on the road could be completed.
But committee counsel pointed out the bill allows public-private partnership only for development and construction. Toll roads are not addressed in the bill. Paul Mattox, secretary of transportation and commissioner of highways, said the Division of Highways does not foresee tolls being an issue in the long run. But, like with anything else, funding for the roads would be determined through negotiations between the state and the private entity.
Mattox said he is unsure what those negotiations look like because the state has not entered into a single public-private partnership since 2007, when the program was authorized.
"We certainly would do our homework, possibly get some outside help to help us negotiate … but we certainly would be looking at other arrears in state government to help with those negotiations," Mattox said. "I think the original public-private partnerships legislation was in 2007 or there about and we have not had anybody come to us. We have no experience with it."
The bill passed committee, with Cadle being the only delegate voting against the motion. The bill still has one hurdle to clear, the House Finance Committee, before being passed to the House floor for a vote.

After Decades, Research Conducted On Bowery Alcoholics Denounced As Unethical
This research that took place about 50 years ago has been resurrected recently by medical historians and is being condemned roundly as unethical.
Dr. Perry Hudson offered down-and-out alcoholics in New York's Bowery district an alluring offer: a clean bed, free meals, and medical treatment if they underwent experimental biopsies for prostate cancer but Dr. Perry Hudson did not tell them that such biopsies would result in impotence and rectal tears from searching for cancer. Dr Perry Hudson also neglected to inform the volunteers about the consequences of this experiment.
Once medical historians wrote two papers stating the study to be unethical due to "the vulnerability and powerlessness of his subjects." In the defense of Dr. Hudsod stated that the volunteers were paid, knowingly volunteered, and received the best treatment in New York, says Hudson, currently at age 96.
Although the alcoholics of Bowery District agreed to be a part of the experiment by receiving a clean bed to sleep, free food, and treatment in return, the fact that the volunteers did not know anything about the experiment makes this case unethical because the volunteers should have been informed about the whole experiment and it's consequences if the cancer was found. This case is also unethical because the participants of this experiment did not have a say regarding their health. The participants should have been able to decide for their health.

Celts will wait on MRI, but Garnett says that's "pretty much" it for Barbosa this season.— Steve Bulpett (@SteveBHoop) February 12, 2013
Garnett said the #Celtics players are being told Barbosa is done for the season. #bigblow— A. Sherrod Blakely (@SherrodbCSN) February 12, 2013
First of all, good luck Blur. Get well soon.
Secondly... So... who else is out there? Delonte West? Keyon Dooling?
I'll point out that Shelvin Mack has had three stints on 10 day contracts this year (with Wizards and 76ers) and is currently with the Maine Red Claws. Might be a short term fix there at least.

Call for 2011 Budget Requests
With a new year starting soon, it's time to put together NCNCA's budget for 2011. We've passed a lot of things month by month in 2010, but for 2011 hope to return to the normal approach of passing an annual budget and only adding things during the year if unexpected things come up.
The first step is for the Treasurer (me) to collect budget requests, so this is a general call to anyone who wishes to submit one. The policy on this is pretty open so if you're a director, committee chair, or volunteer who oversees something NCNCA does, you can submit a budget request. If you have something in mind and don't currently serve in one of those roles, please send it through the most obvious person so they can tack it onto their budget. And if that person isn't obvious, just send it to me and I'll get it to the right person, and sort out any duplicate requests.
A budget request should include the total amount for the year (or a range, if unknown), what specifically it's for, and how it will benefit NCNCA's members. Keep in mind the current spending policy, which says that individual expenditures over $500 need to be listed in your budget, otherwise the board needs to approve the item even if your budget was approved overall. Even at $250+ we need some detail in your budget about the type of expense. These policies may be changed, but for the time being the more detail the better - it means you'll get paid faster. And if you received funds in 2010, please include a separate report of how you used the money, and what the benefits/results were.
This doesn't need to be a novel, but provide as much info as you can and I'll get back to you if additional information is needed. Also, let me know if you want to present your request to the whole board in person, especially if it's something new.
The next board meeting, where the BOD will approve a budget, is Monday, January 10, 2011. So that afternoon is the absolute latest to get a request to me. But don't wait that long! The earlier you get it in, the better, so there's time to make sure that the info is complete. I'll deal with any requests that I get after Friday Jan 7th only if time permits.
Let me know if you have any questions, and start sending those requests in. For all of this, please use the Treasurer's mailbox which is treasurer at ncnca.org.

First Work Of Art For The Denver Federal Center
Internationally recognized artist Andrea Zittel will install what will be the first work of art commissioned by GSA at the Denver Federal Center this summer. The art was commissioned as part of the Art in Architecture Program in support of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act at the DFC. GSA allocates one-half of one percent of each public building's construction cost for the design, fabrication and installation of a site-specific, permanent piece of artwork. The installation will start in June and it is scheduled to be complete by September. The eight works of art will be seen along Main and 4th Street, each being 12 by 16 feet in size.
The works of art are a series of eight identical platforms – each platform consists of both vertical and horizontal panels and have an area that resembles an open room and a wooden surface that references a wrap-around desk. The series of structures function as both abstract sculpture as well as human environment that can be used in different ways such as intimate hang-outs or places to sit and view the surrounding landscape. The structures will have a subtle reference to architecture – with opportunities for both privacy and social engagement.
Andrea Zittel was selected through GSA's Art In Architecture program. The selection panel was looking for a unique approach to creating social spaces on the campus. They wanted an artist who could help activate and engage the campus, its employees and patrons in a new and artistic way. The artist is using local businesses for purchasing materials such as the concrete, wood, and metal.
Art is important for a number of reasons. In all its forms, it often challenges us to consider new perspectives and to rethink how we see the world. Something many don't consider is how the arts contribute to the country's economy. According to research by the Americans for the Arts, in 2010, nonprofit arts and culture organizations pumped an estimated $61.1 billion into the economy. It's important to remember that nonprofit arts and culture organizations are all valuable contributors to the business community.
Since re-launching in 1972, GSA commissioned 408 artworks through the Art in Architecture Program, approximately 35 of which are displayed in GSA's Rocky Mountain six-state region. GSA's Art in Architecture Program melds the creative work of the finest artists in America with that of the nation's top architects and construction firms. Together, the art and architecture of federal buildings create a lasting cultural legacy for the people of the United States. The arts continue to play a significant role in shaping our country's culture and legacy.

There's a 2" gap between the touch control block and the gas tank.
There's a water pump (the reason the hood and gas tank are higher).

Very energetic blog, I liked that a lot.
Will there be a part 2?
I couldn't simply hide in my own bedroom until the balding area
disappeared — if it was still going to vanish.
It can affect the appearance, confidence, and maybe even the self esteem
of a person. The Hair Transplant Network gives
an estimate of $4 to $8 per graft for a FUT procedure and $6 to
$10 per graft for a FUE procedure.
When using this product regularly, most users also notice new growth in areas that were
previously thinning. It is possible that combining
the two hair loss products in a regimen can address the
hair loss problem from two fronts. These products work
the best in younger men who have only begun to lose their hair, and in those whose androgenetic alopecia is still in the early stages where hair is thinning
but continuing to grow.
Over time even a small crack in the caulk can allow enough moisture to penetrate to
allow mold, mildew or rot to take hold. You should also allow a minimum of 36 inches of counter space to the right and then 30 inches to the left of the range and
sink, if possible. This is the most deciding factor before you proceed forward.

WASHINGTON, June 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Crowell & Moring LLP is pleased to announce the publication of a report titled "Data Law Trends & Developments: E-Discovery, Privacy, Cyber-Security & Information Governance." The report explores recent trends and anticipated future developments on critical issues related to the intersection of technology and the law, which affect a wide range of companies and industries. In addition, the report highlights key cases and issues to watch in 11 areas of data law, including: information governance, cybersecurity, social media, technology-assisted review, criminal law, regulatory, cooperation, privacy, cross border transfers, bring your own device (BYOD), and privilege.
"The days of locking proprietary information in filing cabinets are long gone. Today, we grapple with virtual warehouses, locked by complex encryption and firewalls. While technological advancement continues to drive increased efficiency and innovation, it has also created new challenges, especially in the legal environment. As electronically-stored information continues to grow at an incredible pace, businesses are confronted with increasingly complex challenges and risks," said David D. Cross, partner and co-chair of Crowell & Moring's E-Discovery & Information Management Group.
"Our goal in developing this report is to give our clients a sense of how we see the significant legal issues in these areas evolving, which is critical as we work together to successfully navigate the complex and ever-changing world of data law. By identifying particular trends and forecasting how the law is likely to develop over time, companies can better prepare for the future," said Jeane A. Thomas, partner and co-chair of the firm's E-Discovery & Information Management Group.
Twelve of the firm's attorneys contributed to the report, which is available on the Crowell & Moring website here: http://www.crowell.com/NewsEvents/Data-Law-Trends-Developments.

NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Police Department is looking for a missing woman, last seen Friday, May 24 at 9:55 p.m. Police say Patricia Brumfield was wearing black pants and a pink shirt when she was last seen, but say it is possible she has changed clothes since then.

According to police, Brumfield is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and is in desperate need of her medication. They add that she may become violent without it.
If you have any information that could help police find her, call the New Orleans Police Department at 821-2222 or the Seventh District at 658-6070.

WaitList for the iPhone is a free application that lets you know how long you'll be waiting for nearby restaurants, bars, or clubs.

On May 27, Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and attempting to elude police. It was the second arrest of the offseason for Fairley and it is likely that the Lions were none too pleased with his extracurricular activities.
On Friday, Fairley released the following statement via his Facebook page:
After taking some much-needed time to reflect on recent incidents, and after conversations with my advisors, teammates, and members of the Lions organization, I would like to make the following statement:
I want to personally apologize to my fans, teammates and the Detroit Lions organization for bringing this unwanted attention to our team. I recognize my actions were inexcusable and I personally need to uphold the expected standard of behavior of a professional athlete. I do not take for granted this opportunity and feel blessed everyday to play in the NFL.
At this time, I am fully cooperating with the Mobile, Ala. Police Department. I am now focused on moving forward and committing my focus to football. I would like to thank everyone for your concern and understanding.
Hopefully Fairley will stick to his statement and focus on his profession going forward.

Hey there folks,
As someone who would never consider himself a Bobcats fan, but grew up in NC cheering for the Hornets since childhood I have been having a passing interest in this group of players. After living in Charlotte and attending a few Cats home games I've come to the conclusion that something about this team NEEDS to change come the trade deadline. Charlotte definitely has some interesting young pieces going forward, but they're all canceled out by the dead weight on the roster too.
So I come to you fine people on Rufus on Fire asking if my potential 3 way trade between the Portland Trailblazers and Sacramento Kings is both realistic and could actually help the Cats?
Charlotte gets: (C) J.J Hickson, (PF) Jason Thompson, (SF) John Salmons, and (PF) Joel Freeland. Along with Sacramento's (Seattle's) 1st round pick
Portland gets: (C/PF) Byron "Don't Call me BJ" Mullins, (PF) Hakim Warrick, and Charlotte's pick that belonged to the Pistons.
Sacramento gets: (SG) Gerald Henderson, (PF) Tyrus Thomas, Charlotte's 1st round draft pick.
In this scenario, Charlotte pretty much guts their front court, since everyone and their mothers know that they are awful at rebounding and generally scoring in the inside. I feel like with the acquisitions of Hickson and Thompson, you get 2 bigs that love hanging in the post and are young but still have NBA experience. J.J Hickson I think would be a perfect fit for this team and the fan base will readily embrace him since he attended NC State not too long ago.
The only thing I'm not too sure about is the Kings taking the bait and taking Tyrus Thomas off of the Cats hands, but I do think adding Salmons and having him come off the bench as a veteran leader could work out long term, he's practically a less athletic version of Henderson anyway.
So what do you guys think? I think the trade would still most certainly keep Charlotte as a lottery team, but as a lot of experts have said, this is a weak class of prospects. With Sacramento's lottery pick the Cats can still keep thier eye on grabbing Shabazz Muhammed and start as a real rejuvenated franchise next year... As the Charlotte Hornets.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Paramount, Universal, Box Office, The Weinstein Co., UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeSummer's nearly over, school is about to begin and Hollywood is counting its money. Looking back, we could assume the studios made bundles this season; almost every weekend seemed to deliver a new record-breaking blockbuster. In order of enormity, there was Spider-Man 3, Shrek 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Transformers 1 (it will have sequels), Harry Potter 5, 300, Ratatouille and finally another threequel, Bourne 3 (which should gain on at least that numberless Pixar movie). According to Box Office Mojo, the grosses for 2007 are up 7.2% over last year, and 13.7% over 2005 (aka the year of the slump).
Now, normally about this time of year, we can also look back and see a number of disappointments, bombs and otherwise failed releases. In fact, Entertainment Weekly should be giving us its annual rundown (my favorite) any week now. But Business Week has already announced the biggest losers of the season: Evan Almighty and Stardust. And as dishonorable mentions, it points to The Invasion, Grindhouse, The Reaping and The Number 23. Of course, the latter three were released much earlier in the year, and shouldn't be counted -- they seem to be thrown in as other mistakes of the year in general.
BW's reasons for why Evan Almighty failed can't be taken as correct, in my opinion. The magazine writes that Universal messed up by issuing a sequel without the original star, Bruce Almighty's Jim Carrey. As if Evan lead Steve Carell was the equivalent of substituting Cuba Gooding Jr. and Paul Rae for Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin. Carell is a decent enough draw, probably even bigger than Carrey right now (as was seen with the BW-cited Number 23), so his star-power couldn't have been an issue. For BW to say Carell didn't have the talent for the role is ludicrous. It was a bad script that killed Evan. And it still made close to $100 million. Universal just spent too much for a movie that wasn't good enough for repeat viewings or word-of-mouth interest. End of story.
As for Stardust, well there may be a point about it having an incomprehensible script, as BW claims, but a lot of critics did seem to like the fantasy flick, so moviegoers couldn't have been turned off by plot difficulties. For that explanation, it would require that people actually went to the movie in the first place, on opening weekend, and then responded to such. No, once again the failure is more about Paramount spending too much. If Stardust had cost the equivalent of what its most similar predecessor, The Princess Bride, cost, then it would have been more successful -- though still less than a hit.
Finally, BW gets one more thing in its prediction for summer 2008, which it points out lacks another Spider-Man, another Harry Potter, another Pirates and another "green hulking ogre." Well, sure, Shrek 4 isn't coming next year, but those words BW uses are interesting, because they almost certainly describe The Incredible Hulk. Perhaps Business Week should stick to facts about the biz and allow us movie bloggers to do the snarky commentary on the box office?
