Search this site for "Warren Riker". This isn't the first time he's made the news. He seems to be a repeat contestant in Knox County's "Let's Make a Deal" justice system.

Every time I hear something about the Gibault School for Boys, I think, Well, what can you expect from Charlie Manson's alma mater? I hope the truck owner is OK.

Dude was my neighbor. The bust was very quiet, but the cops were there forever.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but if you've never been under the sway of drugs, then you can't understand how they take over a person's life and how they can make a person opt for some very poor choices. Still, my heart does go out to the man's children.

Wake up, people! Your elected representatives just aren't that much into you. They only care for businesses and people that can pony up the dough for bribes--uh, I mean--campaign contributions. And we're looking at you and your friends, Wall Street.

The last time I was in the Surveyor's Office there was a sign on the door to one of the towers that said, Beware of the Bats. This place has just so many problems.

Now if we could only get an audit of the Sheriff's Department itself and what they do with that drug seizure money.

Charging him with manslaughter isn't as simple as it sounds. His actions led to a series of events that ended with the death of a child. His actions in and of themselves did not directly--and directly is the key word here--cause the child's death. It was the chain of events between his actions and the final outcome that caused the death. If we were all held liable for the chains of events that our actions set off, we all pretty much would be sitting in prison. Or to put it more broadly, the butterfly flapping its wings in Peru cannot be held responsible under Anglo-Saxon law for the tornado in Iowa because it had no control over that causal chain.

If the prosecutor tries to charge him with manslaughter, I hope the guy gets a good outside attorney who hands the prosecutor his head. And if that can't be done at trial, the appellate court will be happy to tell the prosecutor he's full of crap because from what facts are known about this case charging him with manslaughter would violate about a thousand years of Anglo-Saxon law.
