Well, actually the show chronicled events that went further back than that, but a big chunk of the show focused on the actual interrogation video [...]
Her story should not have ended like that.
I have been ill at ease ever since I learned the identity of the young woman who was killed in Fargo on November 23rd in the double murder perpetrated by David Stevens. That young woman was Sam Wickenheiser, a young woman I came to know back when she was a happy and energetic grade school [...]

Is this the world we want to live in?
I was horrified and sickened today to learn of the shooting in Connecticut where it is reported 27 people have been confirmed dead - 18 of which are reported to be children. My God, is this the world we want to live in? What must we do to curb this type of violence? What do we [...]
