      If he did not steal anything how could he be charged with burglary. He didnt burglarize anyone he just went in there and fell asleep.
  • They then found Darr in a different bedroom with his clothes, wallet and cell phone next to the bed.

      Eric Sowers on 18 May 11
       
      Going by this it seems like Darr was highly under the influence of something whether it be drugs or alcohol. If he was in fact drunk will he be charged with underage drinking along with the other charges he faces?

      Will this arrest affect his schooling at Penn State? Will this criminal charge force him to be kicked out of school?

      How do police know that she really wasnt going to give the money to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. I feel like they wouldnt have a case if she just says she was planning on giving the money to them.

      This is almost inducement of minors to buy alcohol the way that they are promoting there product to what seems to be minors.

      I think potential law suits will come up in the future of the raising of the alcohol level in the drink. Its deceving to people the big can with high alcohol content and i dont think it be hard for someone to go over board.

  • Spc. Jeremy Morlock is charged with three counts of murder. He is accused of killing one Afghan civilian in January 2010 with a grenade and rifle; killing another in May 2010 in a similar manner; and shooting a third to death in February 2010.

      These crimes seem very hanus. I think that with these crimes that they should seek the maximum punishment for murder.
  • n all, officials charged 12 U.S. soldiers in what they called a conspiracy to kill Afghan civilians and cover it up, along with charges they mutilated corpses and kept grisly souvenirs.

      These do not seem like men who should be serving our country. Its bad if one or two are doing it but twelve of them. It needs to be looked into farther on how these soldiers are being trained and lead.
  • Two images show the soldiers kneeling by a bloody body sprawled over a patch of sand and grass. A third shows what appears to be two bodies propped up, back to back, against a post in front of a military vehicle.

      They may have over reacted to this situation and the men do have there right to freedom of religion but i guess they had to take these precautions because of previous events that occured in our nation.

      This tunnel seems to be contributing alot to illegal drug trafficing between the US and Mexico. If we can contain this tunnel from immigrants the drug crime would decrease across the border in the US.
  • Agents get into the tunnel by lifting a heavy grate and climbing down a metal ladder. Once inside the tunnel, only flashlights separate them from complete darkness as they inspect the mile-long structure.

      It seems like controlling the border would be a very difficult task underground. The procces of just entering the tunnels is hard but being down there with just a flashlight would be very difficult considering how big they are.

      I think it was important to put resonable funeral expenses so that people dont abuse the law.

      I think that this is a very good idea because there death was unwrongful and there family should get the benifit that they would have gotten if they would have lived. They already have to deal with the emotional pain of the death of a loved one, this takes away from the financial burden.
