[Mr. Silverback]

Are you really believing that a jury of her peers (not to mention her defense lawyer) never thouhgt of these questions? Come on, join the real world. If the facts--even just enough facts to creat reasonable doubt--were on her side, would she be appealing on 1st Amendment grounds saying she had the right to do what she's accused of?

Don't just buy into these things until you take a look at the evidence.

You've made a bunch of conclusions with no evidence, but you sure are on a high horse about it. That's gotta' include putting the girl on the stand.

How do you know her lawyer didn't? I'll answer that for you: Because you bought into something before you took a look at the evidence.

I was responding to the claim that the unsubstantiated word of an offduty cop should be sufficient for a court to throw over First Amendment liberties.

A poster just above argued that James Madison, who wrote the Bill of Rights, said the federal government had no right to shut this woman up. By extension neither do the states, and certainly not that neighborhood.
