James Mann - 2005-03-02 10:58:18 Thank you very much for visiting the blog Mr. Mann--that is very cool. May I ask, was the onetime coroner's court composed of amateurs? People off the street, as it were? Now, I have to wonder how a panel of amateurs would be able to penetrate the diabolical criminal mind, as a detective could. It seems dicey to leave community crimes up to the (perhaps naive or uninformed) verdict of the onetime coroner's court--what do you think? * * * * * * * * * * * * James Mann - 2005-03-02 13:15:34 The jury of the cornor's court was made up of citizens of the community, much as a trial jury is today. They would view the remains, something we will not do tonight, listen to the testomony of witnesses and experts, and then render their verdict. The court did not replace the police, but was then seen as a tool to aid the police.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-03-02 13:27:39 Hm. I think it was questionable of the people back then to entrust to civilians the responsibility of determining whether a death was, say, a suicide or murder. For one, they don't have the expertise, and for two, it would be all too easy to finger a community scapegoat as a murder suspect, is what I'm saying. At any rate, that has nothing to do with tonight's talk, but is just a comment on police procedure back then. At any rate. One wonders where the remains are--was he buried in Ypsi? * * * * * * * * * * * * invites wild orchid - 2005-10-12 03:04:13 Take your time to take a look at some helpful info dedicated to seeds seeds http://www.flower4us.com/tiger-lily.html http://www.flower4us.com/tiger-lily.html ...
