That is news here in the Colonies.
In my experience, the religious affiliation of the victims or defendants does not often come up in a court case, unless directly relevant to the case. Perhaps it is different in US courts.
Our press reports do tend stray from a strict word-for-word reading of court transcripts and add some information not found there.
“That is news here in the Colonies.”
Really? How many continents do US school geography lessons teach? When I read online sources such as Wikipedia or About.com (which I’d assume to be US-centric), they just talk about seven continents - Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australasia and Antarctica, as I was taught at school. I assumed that was reasonably universal.
