Um, really? Where did this ME get his credentials again?

    Of course. He died by lead poisoning. That can sometimes take decades, right?

    It takes you 33 years to decide just what crime was committed. Dumb dumb dumb dumb

    Would a Proglibyte be huffpo spyware or the cockroach appearing creature that scurries for shelter when facts come out?

    If they attempt to conduct a trial based on the same charges, yes. If they bring different charges, no. I'd think the statute of limitations would make the latter impossible for anything other than murder, however.

    If they tried Hinkley again, would that be double jeopardy? He was already acquitted for being insane.

    Why should anyone expect anything rational to come out of the Obama regime? Even the M.E. is infected with Proglibitis (expecting things to be true because you want them to be true).

    Zenphamy, the dollar sign is aptly employed. This is where the legal system sucks more $ out of the taxpayers and lines its own pockets. I'm curious as to how much this farce is going to cost us in the end, both $ and freedom. We'll never know.

    I'm reminded of a 2005 film, "Fracture", in which a man attempts to murder his wife to "speed up his inheritance". He succeeds in reducing her to a "persistent vegetative state", on complete life support. The film deals with his efforts to 1: fight an attempted murder charge and 2: gain Power Of Attorney to "pull the plug". He succeeds in both, only to find that once his wife is dead, he is charged with murder.

    I believe there is some precedent for this sort of situation. Certainly veterans who die as the result of injuries received in combat, even decades later, are regarded as casualties of war. I cannot imagine criminal charges stemming from James Brady's death succeeding. But did John Hinckley contribute to his death? Certainly.

    Like I said, trying to pull a Terry Nichols.

    The act was trying to shoot Reagan. Period. That was the crime. To change the *charge* for the same crime is trying to do an end-run around double-jeopardy.

    Just like with Terry Nichols... they didn't like that he didn't get the death penalty for the Murrah bombing, so they tried him for a State offense, giving them two bites at the apple.
