Contact Information

NRTI as we knew it is no more, and I don't know what will happen in the future. Technically, I'm still employed by the College, though am enjoying a paid hiatus, and working on everything I couldn't work on when I was spending 70 hours a week running the Program, like cleaning up from the tornado that hit, what, 7 years ago now? I'm also commissioned with a nearby county agency, actually answering to one of the more popular instructors, so I'm still trying to keep my hand in.

I'll continue to post information and news from grads and friends, and also want to keep current with LE news and references.

My College phone and e-mail are pretty much out of service, so I'll be setting up yet another account , so we can stay in touch.

Regarding Verdicts...

I can't remember the source of the first two paraphrased quotes, but they very definitely apply:
  • We are a nation of laws, not men
  • It is better to let 10 guilty men go free than to risk convicting an innocent man
  • What you know, and what you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt, are two different things
  • "Not guilty" is not the same as innocent or exonerated
  • The American justice system has a lot of problems, but it is light-years better than the alternatives
  • You may beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride
  • Jury nullification is bad - they have to render verdicts based on the facts presented in court, and not on their personal opinions.
