On Thursday, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Department suspended Corporal Chris Wood for bringing a can of Arizona Ice Tea and a bag of Skittles to work at the Brevard County Jail on Saturday morning. He said that he was trying to send a message about the importance of keeping personal predilections about cases from affecting the work environment; instead, his superiors suspended him

So the simple act of eating Skittles is becoming a political statement.. We are getting pretty touchy, don’t you think?

Apparently both sides have been watching lots of old Tina Fey/Seth Meyers “really” skits from the Weekend Update bit on Saturday Night Live.

George Zimmerman’s Trial Begins, with a Knock-Knock Joke

The case of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman has always combined tragedy and oddity. Perhaps it’s fitting, then, that on Monday, when both the prosecution and defense offered their opening statements in the first real day of Zimmerman’s trial, the courtroom seemed to be teetering between the two. Truly bad form.. cannot believe he did … Read moreGeorge Zimmerman’s Trial Begins, with a Knock-Knock Joke

Prosecutors accidentally send out images of a dead Trayvon Martin.

This seems to be a pretty horrible error made by Florida prosecutors in the Trayvon Martin murder case. Among the confidential documents that were ‘accidentally’ released was a photograph of Martin’s dead corpse.  Prosecutors quickly emailed reporters requesting that they do not use the picture of Trayvon Martin’s lifeless body, as they were not meant for … Read moreProsecutors accidentally send out images of a dead Trayvon Martin.
