FLORIDA CRIMINAL LAW NEEDS TO BE PUT RIGHT Jennifer Mee was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life without parole as a 19 year old but her case highlights some serious flaws in the mindset of those responsible in her length sentence and the logic behind the law in Florida which says those who are a party to a fatal robbery are equally guilty of murder as the person who did the actual killing.  Jennifer arranged a date with a young man she had met on facebook, however, her intention was to rob him with the help of two male companions. He only the other hand was under the impression he was going on a date with Jennifer. At no stage did she ever intend to kill him. The question is "Who is responsible for the discharge of a firearm?" It should really be the person in possession of it.

Black lives matter.... Written by R. A. Stewart And so do the lives of all other races.

American lawmakers have a lot to answer for Don't American lawmakers ever learn? It is they who should be taking responsibility for the racial tensions sparked by the death of George Floyd while held by police in Minnesota. If what happened to Floyd occurred on the rugby field then the offending player would have been sent off and handed a lengthy ban for dangerous play and branded a thug by the media. From all accounts, the officer concerned who was responsible for Floyd's death did not break the law until the public demanded justice. One wonders how many times have others been handled by the police in a similar manner to how Floyd was treated and nothing was said about it. My question is, "What are American lawmakers going to do about how people are treated in police custody?" How is it that it is legal for someone to stand on another human beings neck? I would have thought that being able to breathe was a basic human right. Surely, law enforcement officers do not h...
