It is astounding for me to read in the Richmond Times-Dispatch: DNA proves man innocent of 1982 rape and murder in famous ‘bite-mark’ case, lawyers say I was even more astounded when I read what the case was: Harward v. Commonwealth. Here is the first appeal of this case at the Supreme Court in 1985. […]

It is urgent if you are so inclined to contact the following delegates on the Studies Subcommittee of House Rules and ask them (politely of course!) to report the indigent defense study bill (remember it is amended to just study a statewide appellate defender’s office!) Here are the members of the Studies subcommittee: 2016 SESSION […]

My review of the VGA website shows that SJ 51, the indigent defense study bill now amended to just study a statewide appellate defender office (like they have in Michigan) passed the Virginia Senate today! I spoke with Senator Dance’s Chief of Staff, Ed Reed (Thanks to you Ed for your tremendous help on this) […]

There was excitement at the Friday morning docket of the Senate Rules Committee and I was there to see the adventures of SJR 51 – the statewide indigent defense study bill. BUT I also saw something else I did not like at all: More public-private nonsense – yes the Sports Hall of Fame issue I […]

The Commonwealth is one small step closer to equal justice under law tonight with the introduction of Senate Joint Resolution 51, sponsored by Senator Rosalyn R. Dance and co-sponsored by Delegates Lashrecse D. Aird (newly elected) and Lamont Bagby. (I expect one or more delegates to sign on to it; stay tuned.) Here is the […]

I am also seeking delegates and senators to consider introducing a study bill to finally ask the question that this Commonwealth needs: The feasibility and costs of expanding, not Medicare, but our crazy quilt public defender system (City of Richmond has a public defender office but not Henrico, nor Chesterfield nor Hanover Counties for example.)

While I do not approve of how gay marriage was given to us – it was clear judicial activism – I think we should now embrace the decision without delay or evasion. (I said years ago what should have been done and we can still do it!) In fact, let’s take a page from the […]

As a Christian, I have always found it difficult to discuss my favorite philosophers with others, since each of the philosophers with the most profound influence over my reason were atheists; most of them attacking Christianity, faith, and God. Some find it strange that a Christian could be so completely influenced by non-Christians, but this […]

Here’s a fascinating article on the hidden support for the one political party in the UK that stands for Britain: The United Kingdom Independence Party! Potential support for anti-European Union party UKIP far exceeds that suggested by opinion polls, with almost a third of voters holding views in line with its supporters, according to a […]
