It seems like all these stories come out of Virginia. This man was denied examination of DNA evidence on a more-or-less arbitrary basis. I like a lot of things about Virginia, but our justice system is constantly throwing awful things at me.
We don't, however, get up to this kind of nonsense on our side of town. I think they didn't see the news that the major second-hand smoke study has been debunked. Of course, neither has California. I agree that cigarette smoke is unpleasant for non-smokers, but I can't believe that it's actually harmful to others, at least not in any normal situation.
