Guilty of murder
Regarding my post on Kathleen Rice, the Nassau County District Attorney, and the drunk driving murder case she was prosecuting:
The jury found 25-year-old Martin Heidgen guilty of two counts of murder, in deaths of 7-year-old Kate Flynn and 59-year-old Stanley Rabinowitz. Defense attorney Stephen LaMagna complained that prosecutors held Heidgen to the “same standard as a cold-blooded murderer” but insisted, “this is a kid who drank too much and got lost on the way home.”
Some people just don’t get it. I occasionally entertain thoughts of getting into the legal profession. I hope that if I do, I never become able to think like LaMagna.

S.C. Mom: Teacher Allowed Foot Stomping
Oct 4, 5:26 PM (ET)
ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) – A Rock Hill teacher disciplined a student by having the boy’s classmates stomp on his feet, the boy’s mother says. Rosewood Elementary School teacher Daniel Johns, 25, punished the 7-year-old boy last month for stomping on another boy’s foot by having the class do the same to him, the boy’s mother Philisia Okeke said Tuesday.
Okeke, who says no one from the school contacted her about the Sept. 18 incident, said she has filed a complaint with Rock Hill police and transferred her child to another class.
The Rock Hill school district does not allow corporal punishment, except at the request of a parent, but foot stomping would not be considered corporal punishment, said Elaine Baker, a district spokeswoman. Baker did say the school district discourages teachers from this type of punishment.
Ms Baker is completely correct. It would not be considered corporal punishment. It would be considered assault!
