The Court concludes that counsel was hardly deficient for not pursuing a sideshow about post-mortem animal predation, any more than the counsel of his co-defendant Echols was as to human bite marks.

Two comments:

1.  Sideshow.  LMAO!
2.  Do supporters honestly believe that there's a judge in this country who would take the turtles seriously?  It just boggles the mind.

Mary - go research the issue.  At least Google it a bit - animal predation and turtles post mortum ... check it out a bit..... yeah, you might say "a judge" (LOL) has taken it seriously; just a judge with what Burnett lacks - integrity, lack of pride and a positive IQ.  What's ridiculous is if any supporters thought this backwards country stupid redneck 1/2 politician / 1/2 "play judge" ... He was actually going to do his job??  ROFLMAO!!  That's where the humor is.

But, on animal predation, including but not limited to turtles, raccoons, dogs, and other carnivores in the area ... and what they do to bodies... - Google it a bit -- look around.  See for yourself.   .....  or don't -- if seeing wounds that will look VERY VERY familiar to anyone whose seen th4e autopsy photos of the boys ....  might be better not to look; keep your head in your..., oh I mean keep your head in the sand.

I've seen your CV, and I've seen Burnetts.

YOU are where the humor is.

oh I mean keep your head in the sand.

Apparently this won't prevent turtles and scuba diving dogs from biting your face?

"Google it"?

Dave you are seriously riding the short bus.

Tell me what animals went where... you got a whole list there cowboy.

Maybe that's why Burnett saw it as ridiculous as anyone would with a working brain....

Oh OK - you're excused.

Off topic here again:

I have a very strong feeling that someday you are going to slap the shit out of yourself and say "Damn Dave, I wish I hadn't ran my ignorant mouth like I did" 

Just sayin'.....................

It's post-mortem, Dave, but I'm sure you know that.  You're a lawyer, so it must have been a Jack Daniels typo.

yeah, you might say "a judge" (LOL) has taken it seriously

Actually, I said that NO judge in this country would take the turtle predation seriously.  They haven't, and they won't.  It's absurd, and not just legally.  It's common-sense absurd.

But, on animal predation, including but not limited to turtles, raccoons, dogs, and other carnivores in the area

Yeah, we know.  Spitz has those wild dogs flinging the boys against hard places after they're dead.  Just playin' around with dead bodies for sport.  A little canine competition.

Go to bed, Dave.  It will all be ok in the morning, except for one thing:  you'll still be in New Jersey
