Good lord, rat, it's obvious you are cluele....<br /><br />Good lord, rat, it's obvious you are clueless about the grand jury process in this country.<br /><br /><i>The coroner was incorrect, overruled by a higher legal authority.<br />Homicide is a legal term, which the Grand Jury found not applicable to the case.</i><br /><br />Pure nonsense, you nitwit. Though you have been found guilty of numerous counts of felony mutilating of the English language by a jury of your betters (we tried but couldn't find anyone who would qualify as your peer), it is not within the mandate of the grand jury to change to meaning of words.<br /><br />As for the coroner's verdict, it was neither incorrect nor overruled by the grand jury. You clearly do not know what a grand jury's job is. <br /><br /><i>You knew that the Grand Jury had not brought an indictment, you knew that the Coroner's verdict had been overturned.<br />That there had been no homicide.</i><br /><br />The Grand Jury has one function, one mandate, to determine if the prosecutor has presented to them enough evidence to show probable cause that someone has committed a crime. A verdict not to indict is not the same thing as a verdict of not guilty just as one to indict is not the same as a verdict of guilty. <br /><br />Here, read this. I know you attention span is limited so I found a tutorial that was short.<br /><br />http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-procedure/how-does-a-grand-jury-work.html<br /><br />.<br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-20246920909608480812014-12-03T22:31:19.183-05:002014-12-03T22:31:19.183-05:00Iran's forces now fighting alongside US in war...<b><a href="http://www.independent.ie/world-news/middle-east/irans-forces-now-fighting-alongside-us-in-war-on-terror-30797629.html" rel="nofollow">Iran's forces now fighting alongside US in war on terror</a></b><br /><br />An Iranian jet has been filmed for the first time bombing positions of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), during a battle for the town of Saadiya, north-east of Baghdad.<br /><br />United State Air Force jets have been flying missions over Iraq since August, and the RAF since September. Pentagon officials later confirmed that Iranian jets had taken part in bombing raids.<br /><br />Iranian advisers are known to have been embedded with the Iraqi army and militia forces fighting Isil. But this is the first proof that the Islamic Republic and the countries it famously termed the "Great and Little Satan" - America and Britain - are taking part in missions on the same side.<br /><br />The footage was filmed by an Al-Jazeera crew reporting on the key battle for Saadiya and Jalula, two towns north-east of Baghdad not far from the Iranian border.<br /><br />Saadiya was captured in the great surge Isil staged across much of Iraq in June and became a major jihadist base. Al-Jazeera claimed the jet belonged to the Iraqi air force, which was given half a dozen Russian-built Sukhoi Su-25 ground attack jets by Iran at the outset of the war in June.<br /><br />However, analysts from IHS Jane's Defence later identified the jet as a McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, a relic of America's pre-1979 alliance with the Shah's Iran.
