Notes of Interest

Readers might be interested in a special documentary from MSNBC:

MSNBC Special Murder by the Sea
Eric Volz is the young American accused, charged and convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend, the beautiful Doris, the jewel of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Eric Volz was an American expatriate who had staked his future on a place far from home. He'd grown up in San Diego-ambitious, competitive, even driven, and an eager student of Latin America. But in a flash, he became a monster to the people in Nicaragua. The crime scene photographs show her body trussed up like some animal, and left, as if on display, on the floor of her little clothing shop by the beach. Despite a strong alibi and evidence in his defense, the Nicaraguan court convicts him. Volz was caught up in a story of jealousy, injustice and a murder so twisted; it united this nation in outrage... and revenge. Follow up in this gripping investigation of a young American accused in a foreign land.


(note from Lilo: As a new feature, I'll be sharing previews of crime related MSNBC specials now and then. Like the AMW updates, this is not a paid gig, just something new I feel you'll be interested in. All related posts will be labeled MSNBC)

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
