Mom forces son to kill hamster for bad grades

[William Joyce]

Back in high school guys' moms used to force them to kill their pet hamsters with a hammer for bad grades all the time. It was no big deal.

Huh? We were always forced to kill and eat our pet pigs.....

I emailed an acquaintance of sorts who is one of the great Legal Minds of our day.

Well, that's to say he actually went to law school and then into practice.

His response:

Innocent until proven guilty is a legal device to require the prosecutor to prove his case (in this case beyond a reasonable doubt). But we don't have to make that assumption since we aren't the jury. In the case of most accuseds there's actually a presumption they're probably guilty. Which is why bail is required and jail is given to those "innocent until proven guilty" who are flight risks and who can't make bail.

But, getting on to your question . . .

The mother made a confession or what we call a "statement against interest," Such a statement is admissible in evidence in every one of the 57 great states of this union.
