Great movie! "Rocky Marciano, Rocky Marciano!"

I know you guys are excited about having things going in the right direction, or hopefully going that way. I am just having some fun with you guys.

Yes they can and do (life insurance companies anyway).

You mean besides the four that on there?

Well, you sparked my interest enough to research it a little more and, as I thought, I was correct. I think where you are getting lost is the distinction of "lesser included offenses." While jeopardy attaches to a lesser included offense when tried for the greater offense, the reverse is not true. So, as I suspected, I think the State could try him for murder because it contains an element the lesser included does not. The Supreme Court's Diaz decision is helpful in explaining why: [Hidden Content] I don't think he will be retried though. As I said, it still is a situation that doesn't pass the smell test. Furthermore, the causation issue would be a nightmare, is not impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

"Which group protects you better, FSU offensive line or the Tallahassee PD?"  :D

^ Paragraph 2 - isn't that what I said? He was also tried, apparently, in the District of Columbia from what I read? If so, they don't have the ability to try him at the other level to get around double jeopardy.

He's with Washington now. Where's JaMarcus Russell?

Clemson over Georgia. 8 or 9 pt underdog. Easily can win the game outright.

Touché. I forgot the non-BCS bowl game, Cotton Bowl victory season was one for the ages for the Aggies. Different standards I guess. Although it was impressive coming off a summer where patheticism hit an all time high in Aggieland and two ancient football national championships were found. The good news for Aggies is that there is still one more trophy you can claim after a decade or so of futility. Texas, on the other hand, will leave the 15 football NCs it doesn't claim on the shelves and pursue ones in this century.

"Recent success" - the jokes just write themselves! 😂

I thought I was clear when I referenced last year's incredible 7th place conference finish? You Aggies have trouble keeping up.

Interesting you bracket your statement in the last 5 years. Since the year before Texas was in the bcs championship game. Interesting, yet very predictable. I will use the same argument with aggy but extend my bracket to 75 years. Damn that's sad!

Super fascinating scenario. Since murder is obviously not a "lesser included offense" of attempted murder, prosecution is not barred there. And I would assume murder has at least one additional element that has to be proven that attempted murder does not. Still, I have a hard time having this pass the smell test with me. When the conduct is exactly the same in either charge - and he was found crazy the first time - let it rest IMO.

I will help you out here: [Hidden Content] Just click on any thread with several replies and there is a good chance you will find one. Or just look for a Smitty reference to "low information voters." Pretty blanket statement IMO.

No it wasn't. Reading a challenge for you Tigers?

With that gem of a sentence, no one will doubt you are an lsu fan! 😂

I have everything imaginable. Directv is my favorite toy. Glad to be an SEC contributor!!

UT may be many things, poor isn't one of them. It has a larger endowment than the GSP of the whole state of Lousiana!

Gotta love an article that contradicts itself in a 2 sentence blurb...

  Fair enough.  I was talking about universities overall and not the actual athletes.  We were just on different topics!  :)
