Interesting case I guess. Is a throw away comment on Dateline NBC an enforceable contract?

Quoted: Kolodziej--who was a law student at South Texas College of Law at the time--followed the Serrano case. He saw Mason issue the challenge and decided to accept it. He wanted to see if he could prove that the prosecution's theory was correct and that Serrano could have murdered these three people. In December 2007--just after the tenth anniversary of the murders--Kolodziej travelled to Georgia to accept the challenge. He retraced Serrano's alleged route, flying from Atlanta to Orlando, driving to the scene of the murders, then flying back to Atlanta. Kolodziej made the last leg of the journey--from the airplane to the La Quinta--within the required 28 minutes.

David Mayo writes a mea culpa for the front page of the GR Press one week ago. I was reminded to dot this because Sunday's (July 12th) GR Press was loaded with conservative West Michigan residents bitching about how this signifies the end times.

Were you high when you picked out this suit?

Quoted: I have learned I am not physically addicted to anything but am predisposed to all manner of mental addictions, dating to childhood. I skipped first grade because I was reading on a ninth-grade level. But I knew nothing more about math or science than any other 6-year-old. I was just addicted to language...

Quoted: When Richard Posner writes (which he does a bit more often than most federal appellate judges), people tend to sit up and listen. Which is why a recent post he did on the Becker-Posner Blog sent shudders down the Law Blog's spine.

Quoted: Expanding copyright law to bar online access to copyrighted materials without the copyright holder’s consent, or to bar linking to or paraphrasing copyrighted materials without the copyright holder’s consent, might be necessary to keep free riding on content financed by online newspapers from so impairing the incentive to create costly news-gathering operations that news services like Reuters and the Associated Press would become the only professional, nongovernmental sources of news and opinion.

Intelligent arguments to support the advice of many legal experts to never talk to cops. NEVER.

Incredible. The most influential minds in America at work... BTW, the quote directly below is not from some Joe Sixpack asked to comment, it's from Justice Breyer. You know, one of the GOOD justices.

Quoted: "In my experience when I was 8 or 10 or 12 years old, you know, we did take our clothes off once a day, we changed for gym, OK? And in my experience, too, people did sometimes stick things in my underwear."

Quoted: That the school in question was looking for a prescription pill with the mind-altering force of a pair of Advil—and couldn't be bothered to call the child's mother first—hardly matters.

Quoted: 検察が無罪を求刑したというのは初めてみた。次男の犯行をかばい、検察が供述を信じ、起訴したが、次男をかばって身代わりとなったと後に自首して分かった、ということのようだ。

Useful information from the MSP. Michigan really needs to update its traffic code.

Quoted: The letter that follows takes us on a darkly imagined excursion into the future. A military coup has taken place in the United States--the year ...

Quoted: 法律では「何人（なんぴと）も」とあるので、自ら公にしてもいけないし、知人が選ばれたことを誰かに話すのもダメだ。裁判員が事件関係者から危害を加えられないよう保護するための規定とされる。

法務省刑事局は「公にする」の意味を、「不特定または多数の人が知りうる状態におく」と解釈している。特定の少数なら大丈夫だが、特定であっても多数の人が知りうる場合は問題になる。
