Updates

I thought I would go over some older cases, and give readers an update on how they are going.
First, the trial for Richard Wegmann, the OSU student accused of killing 19 year old Linsi Light here in Lima is scheduled to begin in September. So far the defense team seems to be holding steady at consisting of five lawyers. Five lawyers. Heh. I wonder if they ever heard of over doing it? This really isn't about the case as much as it is about my own thoughts on it... but five? Really? Lima's a pretty small city. We consist of mostly middle class folks, and to be honest- five lawyers working on any case seems a bit like over spending. I don't mind Wegmann pleading his case... but it just doesn't sit well. To make matters worse these five lawyers have evidently gotten together and decided that Wegmann can't possibly get a fair trial here, they of course blame media attention. I find that insulting. First, anyone roaming around flaunting a team of five lawyers is bringing attention to themselves, and then to say that folks in Allen County couldn't possible consist of a 12 unbiased people, it just tends to leave me feeling insulted. Perhaps they are right though, perhaps it would be better to move this case to somewhere a bit more unbiased. I suggest Montpelier, Linsi Light's hometown.

Next up, Christopher Tindall... the juvenile deliquent who brutally raped and murdered a elderly woman. He had already been convicted of sexually assaulting a classmate, served his time, and was released into a home for boys when he decided to sneak out in the middle of the night and commit a series of crimes. From what I understand, this monster has plead not guilty. I'm not surprised. It's often hard to admit that you are a sick perverted monster deserving of death. Thankfully, the judge in this case seems to be a good one, because despite defense's attempts:"There will be no change of venue, no suppression of evidence found under his bet and best of all NO suppression of the several confessions the beast has given"
