- ] You're missing the point. The judge on the case *ordered* the
- ] lawyer not to use words such as ``murderers'' and ``killers''.
- ] Do you think the judge's order was appropriate?

-
- So do you believe that one should presume that
- people are innocent until proven guilty or
- are you merely trying to muddy the waters?
-
- Is your concern with the fact that a judge has judicial
- authority over activity in his court, and that only
- those of YOUR RELIGIOUS PERSUASION should be allowed
- to sit in Judgement?????
