I just read a news article on HLN that states Jodi Arias will not get the death penalty as a result of a 2nd hung jury in her penalty phase. The first penalty phase a couple years ago also ended in a hung jury. This is crazy because she killed her ex boyfriend so viciously and stuffed him in a...

Is there a certain personality type that would make someone get hired on as a police officer if 2 people with the exact same qualifications were to apply? I am curious at how much police departments just look at a person and decide whether or not to hire them just based on their demeanor. You...

Polygraph can give false readings if someone is nervous or scared to begin with, much like false confessions. It is not unheard of for someone to confess to something if they feel that it is the only way to get out of a situation. If you did give truthful answers and still failed, you should...

I would be afraid of being locked up somewhere in which nobody knew where I was. At least in a jail or prison, it is public knowledge and something would happen if cruelty were taking place. Secret prisons are a recipe for disaster. There are always people out there who look for power and...

I guess we would have to know how the animals were mutilated because some cults and groups do certain things in the mutilation process. In any event, it is sick and twisted and I hope they catch who is responsible.

I would not be shocked if places like this actually exist, but I think they would be federally run as opposed to state run, like with a city police department. The CIA and Secret Service are very secretive entities and they do some under the table type things. I do not think that it is right if...

There has to be something more to this story, is this something that they had talked about before. It sounds like he had contacted her to say that he was having second thoughts about it and then she responded back "we are all commited" what does that mean? Had they made a commitment that this...

You have to be careful buying things online anywhere you shop if it is not purchased from a trusted mass retailer. The good thing is that most places offer buyer protection, so as long as you keep all of the information and can prove that you did not knowingly purchase stolen merchandise, you...

That sounds like a lot of fun Missbishi! I would love to be able to check flagged content and see if there is anything inappropriate about it. What do you do if there is inappropriate content in the writing, does the author have to rewrite or edit the work? I would like to do some editing for...

Communication is very important if you are a police officer. You have to be able to go home, or go to a friend or trusted person's house, and really talk about the stress you are feeling. Police work is not something that someone would want to bottle up in their mind and not talk openly about...

The only time the police can seize belongings is if there is reason to believe that the goods are stolen or paid for with drug money. I think there are certain things that have to be proven before they can take the belongings. The police would have grounds for seizure like if the suspect sold...

I am no good with fiction either. I used to have a real hard time with creative writing when I was in school. I am, however, good at writing about certain topics and do quite a few articles as a side job. I am looking to start a book this year on natural sustainable living because I have taken a...

I once stole a book on accident. I was shopping with my mom and was really engrossed in what I was reading. Next thing I know, I am blindly following her out of the store with the book still under my nose. I did not realize my mistake until we got out to the car, and I promptly went back into...

I really enjoy camping so I like to go anywhere where the camping and hiking trails are nice. I really would like to go to Alaska, Hawaii, and the UK eventually too. I need to save up some money for those adventures.

I really enjoy reading true crime books and my favorite author is Anne Rule. She is local to where I live and takes such heart in writing her stories. She studies the crimes extensively and really gets to know the victims so she can tell their stories accurately. Who is your favorite true crime...

I am just starting off with my career in freelance writing and I was curious to see if there are any other writers out there? If you do write, what do you write...articles, books, other publications?

I think there are people in all occupations that are afraid to do something that might make one of the big bosses mad even if it is the wrong thing to do. The officer could have a civil case if he could prove that he did everything by the book and the mayor's kid really did deserve to get...

Terrorists do want to die for their crimes because they are promised martyrdom and so many virgins when they die for their cause . I think they should be locked away and they thrown out so that they actually do have to live out the rest of their lives. They should even be forced to live longer...

There are people in this world who will never be able to function as a normal person in society. I am not sure living the rest of their life in prison is the solution, but rather civil commitment so they can get the help and therapy they need. Some people's brains are just not wired right and...

I once interviewed a homicide detective and they really do have to live their job because they are always on call. They can go home after a long day at the office only to have to get back in the car and go back to work if duty calls.
