Wow, I can't believe there are so many people who are ready to think the worst of people without knowing much at all.

As for the timing, I think that there is something quite strange going on. Maybe they did search but didn't find it until the next day?

Abe said Muto had concrete memories of what he had done and that his motive for killing his sister after being provoked was understandable. This is one of the most disturbing comments by a judge I have ever read.

Actually, the I read this is that the judge can see…

You're kidding right? (thepro). Getting children to be models has been an age old custom since before I can remember. I have known friends at the age of 14 becoming models. Nothing new.

In this case, it seems that these girls are hosting a children's show, so it doesn't seem…

This sounds a bit circumstantial though. If the man was found murdered in his cab does that mean the cigarette butt was found in the cab as well? At best, that places the suspect in the cab. Of course it's a good lead, but hardly enough evidence to convict alone.…

Just goes to show that you really need to be careful when you go out drinking in the wee hours of the night even if you're not planning on driving, etc. Having friends along would certainly reduce the chances of something like this turning out the way it did.

When I first read the headline I thought that it seemed a bit unfair, but after reading the article it is actually very accommodating.

Wow, I didn't realize there were so many professional doctors writing on this forum!

It's really nice to see that. In case I'm injured in some way I'm sure any one of you would be able to make a correct and immediate diagnosis.

Thanks Peachy871 for your first post. For going out on a limb and reading between the lines and using common sense.

Even if the case written here isn't what we think it might be the attitudes on this site are somewhat alarming. Perhaps some of the people posting here see…
