well the whole judicial system seems insanely expensive. we should privatize the courts to make them answer to the market. think "the peoples court" here...
sorry Jim, but Hood was already climbed in winter, alpine style, with a dog, and then ski descended....all by the same person on the same day, in the Gregorian calendar winter.
i think the most important part of an winter ascent is that it is climbed within the Gregorian calender days of winter. A day outside is a day outside.
your sarcasm detector is broken.
imo, while some might have moral outrage over this, it is just simple enforcement of laws that have been on the books since when the crime was committed.
well you seem to be saying that since the victim has settled, then the issue is closed. i disagree. i certainly am empathetic to the victim, and maybe that is what you are saying...but it has nothing to do with criminal prosecution that the victim doesn't want prosecution.
