News: Crime and Punishment

There's a serial killer on the loose in merry olde England. Regardless of your opinions on prostitution or England's (anti)self-defense laws, it's always sad to see people murdered and left in the woods. I wish the UK police good hunting in catching this sicko.

Regarding punishment, apparently the grand jury mistakenly no-billed that police officer in the PS3-thief murder case. This is disheartening, but in the grand scheme of things, I bet this kind of thing happens all the time. My criminal law professor has told us of the oft-repeated old chestnut that "a prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich." It's telling that this cop was actually fired by his department, not put on paid administrative leave. Other cops on the raid said they heard no gunshots, save the ones Officer Long let loose.
