A Quick Reminder

January 7, 2012 by tooldtowork 2 Comments

Apropos of this article at Rescuing Providence,

Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution,

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Due process of law means a trial by a jury of his peers, not some idiot police chiefs or manager from a bottom feeding private ambulance company. Nor the outrage of a blond bimbo like Nancy Grace or the umbrage of a media fraud like Geraldo Revera.

Or even commenters on a blog.

There will be plenty of time for wailing, gnashing of teeth, rending clothes, and wearing sack cloth and ash if he’s convicted.

That is all.

I'm a paramedic working in a largish city in the Northeast corner of the U.S. I've been in EMS all of my so called adult life. I'm more than just a little opinionated, but that comes with having been around the block more than once. [Read More …]
