I can't believe that there was a mistrial to start with. He came out of the house with the murder weapon and told the driver, "I think I just killed someone." Plus, when people commit suicide this way, they open their mouths. She was shot <b> through her teeth</b>. That means her teeth were clenched shut when the gun was fired. Plus, how would she know where a gun is in a home that she has never been to before? Not to even mention his abusive history.I am just so glad they finally got it right. That poor woman! I think too many juries these days are watching waaay too much CSI and are removing "reasonable" from the phrase "reasonable doubt".

I don't know if it's murder, but for sure I thought it was manslaughter or such based on reading about the case A LONG TIME AGO. Then again, I didn't really follow up and read more details. But I'm glad that he's finally convicted. I hate the argument that she was committing suicide, in that way?! I don't buy that defense argument. AT ALL.

I actually really enjoyed the story about Thomas' lecture, and I think Thomas himself made a lot of sense. However, the author of the piece seemed a bit confused.

Thomas' speech, or talk, didn't make a whole lot of sense. Is Franken going to be allowed to take his seat now, or is five months not long enough for Coleman?
