This post is for those of you who've followed the JinC Addison Series.
I've just about finished with the background work I needed to do for the last series post, "Sue who?"
I'll post it before Sunday, Mar. 11.
Meanwhile, if you're new to the series or just want to take "a second look" at the previous posts, here they are in chronicle order:
“The Cpl. Addison Series.”
“Addison Series #1" - "This horrific crime”
"Addison Series #2" - "CrimeStoppers will pay cash"
"Addison Series #3" - "Not my poster"
“Addison Series #4 – “They call it ‘squeezing.’”
I hope you come back on Mar. 11 and take a look at "Sue who?"

I'm missing something somewhere. There have been several posts here by John about the series, but whenever you try to get to the 2nd part, it links to the first part. are they one in the same?

Dear gak,
You're not missing anything anywhere.
You pointed out an error in my linking.
I've fixed it.
Now, thanks to your letting me know, when folks try to go to # 2 they'll get there.
I hope you look in on #5.
I'd love to know your response.
Again, thanks for pointing out my mistake.
John
John,
Enjoy the grandkids, for that's much... more important than any post here. It doesn't look like the case is going away soon, and even if it did, we'll still details to sort out!
Kent
OOPS!
...still HAVE details to sort out.
The Addison series perfectly illustrates the problems and costs the defendants will have in defendant civil suits following dismissal, I expect, of the criminal charges. Addison the his supervisor will require separate lawyers because of the inherent conflict between their defenses. Addison will have to contend that he did nothing wrong, while the supervisor, to protect himself, the police department, and the city of Durham, will have to deny that he authorized the actions of Addison. Likely, the situation will be the same for the other police, Gottlieb, etc., who will be defendants. Thus, the costs of defending the civil actions will be huge.

The more defendants there are with contradictory defenses, the better the chances for finger-pointing, which usually is poison for defendants. Mr. Nifong already has opened fire on Gottlieb and Dr. Meehan.
"Thus, the costs of defending the civil actions will be huge."
As much glee I take in the thought of these men paying dearly for what they have done to the lax players (and the tremendous legal bills they have shouldered), it makes me shudder to think what would happen to a poor (monetarily) man such as myself in the legal system.
As much as the blogs have exposed the nefarious and downright shameless acts of the authorities in this case, I can't help thinking in broader terms about defendants across this nation who cannot afford competent legal representation and therefore have either been railroaded or crushed under an un-payable debt in the course of defending themselves.
It's a scenario I hope I never have to face, for one would still hope that justice can be attained without having a bank account with six or eight zeros at the end of it.

That is the purpose of the Second Amendment. When we are priced out of, or excluded from justice by other means our founders expected us to correct the situation through force of arms.
Like it or not, that is the truth of it. Evidence is the fact that that is what they did. After being successful in their quest, they codified the concept in the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America and in all the writings of the Federalist Papers explaining and expounding upon the right of a free people to dissuade tyrants, when all else fails, by force of arms.
They went so far as to call it duty. They also made certain to explain that the Constitution did not bestow rights, but only recognized them and guaranteed governmental non-interference and non-infringement of them.
When form becomes more important than substance in the adjudication of the "legal" system, the system can no longer be confused with a system of justice. According to our founders it is incumbent upon all patriots to correct this blasphemy against liberty.
We can hope that such can be done peacefully through the courts and legislative bodies, and it is our duty to try to see that all efforts of peaceful redress are exhausted before resorting to more direct methods.
However, when wealth becomes a prerequisite in pursuit of justice, arms are the coin of liberty of the non-wealthy.
No sane person wants to go there, unless he has no choice. No sane person wouldn't go there before accepting total subjugation to the state and tin gods of Nifong's stripe. He is not an anomaly. He is indicative of the self-anointed "ruling" class.
He and his ilk cannot be tolerated.
Peace depends upon it.
