• Now this sentence encourages respondents to reply freely and devoid of constraint on condition individuals replies fall inside specified boundaries. This excellent sentence consists of a world wide web in-joke that would not often fit the topic.

• Thanks for such a good blog. It was what I looked for.

• Nice posting from the author! The information are well said. After reading this, you would ask yourself if you write personal statement effectively. Next time simply follow what the author suggests and add your personal touch on it.

• who are the Colombs?

• It may be in my butt if you want to look for it.

• something is spelled wrong, somewhere in this blog....and I WILL find it!

• Actually Fellers (incorrect spelling, but my way of being funny cool) it's should be spelled dick. I should know! Well, I spent the whole night with my lover Max and we created a poem about ancient China and the horrible way they treat Tibetians. Later we are going to do puzzles, crosswords and maybe (pregnant pause for effect)-each other (laughing like Ted Knight in Caddyshack).

• Scott, Don't be a dicc.

• He he...here at the lab we are working on a fake scott that likes interactive play, builds a tiny house out of Budlight cans and is perfect when speaks-like a divorced, yuppie dad who corrects peoples grammar and lives in a torn up ranch style house in Keller. The doll comes complete with books by Kant and Camu, but, sadly the abode is void of any humanity among the tranny porn, 7-11 hot dogs and dictionaries that litter the dusty, sun ravaged property. Hey, you still got the books dude! Hey, stack your reference books in a baby swing, push them, and see the reaction......or dress them in a sexy nighty and see how they respond when you touch them. He he. ps-working on a new character called "fake n. webster" that is right 99% of the time and corrects peoples grammar at the mall; even at his own peril. The first episode features "fnw" telling gang bangers and emo kids how to speak properly, all the while expounding on maimonides. The second episode features "fnw" borrowing gardening tools and having to go to Parkland because his redneck neighbor buried a gardening tool in his head. The third episode is a classic! It features "fnw" camping in Platoro Co. with nothing but books and a picture of a book; well, this doesn't go well when he gets summarily blown off the Rockies by bitter rain, neo nazi's and raging creeks.

• @kergo Insecure much?

Atleast you dominate the smart and freakishly weird demographic. Guys with that fwap thing-living with the momma is alright! Girls suck right? Guess what scott, this make me want to post 1000 fake scotts a day. The only thing worse on this blog than clean living "correction'grammar man" is that asshole that posted 23 pages of shit about-uhhhhdunohhh. ps-changes in the structure mean nothing on this blog shithead. mom, I got a guy that wants to join the quilting club with a nub for a deener.

• HEAD BLACK BASKETBALL COACH LOSES CAREER SETTING & HISTORY Clarksville, TX is a town located 59 miles west of Texarkana, TX and is the seat of Red River County. The town reeks of the past by its dilapidated buildings, brick streets and weathered old houses. As of 2000, town population was somewhere around 3,800 with 49.6% White, 42.2% Black, and 7.3% Hispanic, other races make up the remaining .09%. Lurking also in the balance of it�s not so rich history, is the town�s Confederate monument which is facing northwest toward the predominantly black neighborhood in Clarksville, TX; confederate monuments should face northeast. In addition to this, Clarksville flaunts its� disparaging past by having also erected a monument to a hanging tree located inside the city�s cemetery. But a situation more disturbing threatens to overshadow the not so great past of Red River County. Since the old hanging tree can no longer be used to hang individuals, the town has deliberately used its justice system to maliciously prosecute people of the African American community and has also unjustly indicted and arrested others of the same. Even poor whites that are disenfranchised have also been targeted by the rude behavior of those elected officials and so-called law enforcement officers whose past is questionable and integrity should be scrutinized. MAJOR PLAYERS Playing as major antagonist in this saga are Shelley Benton, clerk-turned magistrate who has an arrest record consisting of DWI�s and reckless driving, Val Varley, County Attorney who has been accused of cattle rustling, Tim Shimpock, County Constable, Terry Reed, Sheriff, Robert Bridges, incoming sheriff and Brandon Harbison, chief of Police. Each of these individual�s integrity is dubious to say the least and under much suspicion ranging from allegations of murder, racism, abuse of power and position, malicious prosecution and wrongful arrest with the intent to inflict emotional distress and anguish. Reigning at the head of the antagonism are 102nd District Judge John F. Miller and 6th District Judge Jim D. Lovett, whose reputations and credibility are also problematic. These conspirators have arrested and tried to convict elementary to middle grade black school students for assault for throwing rocks at a bus. They have convicted a black woman for defending herself against a white woman, when the white woman attacked the black woman first. The county attorney has refused to drop several cases that are unfounded and unsubstantiated including a murder charge against an African American father whose 4 month old son�s death was ruled accidental by the medical examiners� office. Several cases involving plea bargain deals have been used unjustly to trap African Americans in the prison MODERN DAY LYNCHING A more recent egregious act upon the part of the antagonist is a case against then, head basketball coach of Liberty Eylau High School in Texarkana, TX, Vergil Richardson. Coach Richardson is an African American male who was arrested on November 17, 2007 along with several others of his family on bogus charges of engaging in organized criminal activity and manufacturing and delivery of controlled substances. Bond was made for each of them in the amount of $5,000 each then later the charges were dropped, but did not end the story. In March of 2008, County Attorney, Val Varley issued a sealed indictment in this same case and sent the indictment to an address uninhabited. It was only by chance that a relative would find out and intercept the mail and inform the Richardson�s who would turn themselves in saving them the hassle of being arrested all over again. This time, each bonded on $2,500 costing them more money, shame and embarrassment. Charges under the sealed indictment were possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession with intent to deliver meth and organized criminal activity. NIGHT OF ARREST As was his custom, Vergil�s intentions were to travel from Texarkana, AR where he lived to Clarksville, TX to spend the night with his half brother, Kevin Calloway and on the morning pick up his son from Paris, TX then head to Mississippi for the Thanksgiving Holiday. A short time after Vergil arrived, others of his family begin to pour in as well, some who lived in Clarksville like Edward Charles Richardson, Jermicole Savory Richardson and Xavier Richardson. His brother, Mark Richardson came down from Mt. Pleasant, TX to enjoy the family. Around 10:30p.m., all windows in the house were up and front door open at 1103 Columbia St. in Clarksville, TX, where Vergil and his half-brother, Kevin Calloway were sitting at the dining table playing dominoes, Edward Charles Richardson was in one room watching a football game, Xavier and Jermicole were in another room asleep, and Mark and Ms. Norman were standing outside talking. Not long thereafter, several police officers emerged on the home including Robert Bridges and Lt. Brandon Harbison. In addition to these law enforcement officials, Val Varley, County Attorney also entered the premises, rifle in hand. The officers handcuffed each individual in the home and placed them under arrest without ever producing a search warrant or reading them their rights. According to some sources, there is some statute which states that whenever a premise is being searched, that those under suspicion should be privy to the search, however Vergil and his family except Charles Edward Richardson were taken outside while the house was searched. While handcuffed, Edward Charles was brought out of the back bedroom he was in and was guided to a couch in the living room. As the officer was seating Edward Charles on a couch in the living room, another officer advised him not to do so, but to sit him in a chair that he pulled out. After doing so, the officer that pulled out the chair, kicks up a pillow on the couch, points to a clear bag containing a powdery substance and says, �What do we have here?� Later, toxicology reports would prove this bag did not contain drugs, powdery substance unknown. At some point during this raid, Brandon Harbison pulls Vergil Richardson to the side and advised him that Kevin was selling marijuana out of the home. Vergil responds by asking him if he knew this then why didn�t he tell him. All in all, the Richardson�s civil rights were violated, physical injuries incurred, loss of freedom, mental anguish, emotional distress, mental depression, lost employment and intentional infliction of undue and unlawful imprisonment were a result of this horrendous and vindictive case against the Richardson family. DISSECTING THE SEARCH WARRANT The Search and Arrest Warrant was authorized on November 17, 2007 at 10:49pm by Shelley Benton, who by the way has a criminal record for DWI out of Lamar County. The warrant consists of several contradictions which gives rise to the confusion and fragility of the warrant. First there is the frivolous case of a missing person by the name of JC. According to the warrant affidavit, JC, a black male in his mid twenties and said to be about 5� 8�, weighing 160lbs was the said suspect. Problem is there was no one there by the name of JC and the only person living at the residence was Kevin Terrell Callaway whose initials are not JC. Moreover, no one with the initials of JC was ever at the property. Other official documents from the County of Red River states that law enforcement acting upon a tip from Crime Stoppers was the initial factor upon which the warrant was issued. Contrary to this is the statement that is made in the warrant that the raid was a result of months of extensive investigation. The Affiant, Robert Bridges, is supposed to have months of training and years of investigative experience. He is also the head of the Drug Task Force and said to be an expert in drug transactions including drug paraphernalia and equipment used. However, a doctored Probable Cause Affidavit indicates that said suspect was approached by CI to purchase a quarter pound of marijuana for $200. Later, it would be discovered that said purchase was a little over 2 ounces of marijuana and Robert Bridges actually gave the suspect $200 for it. Moving along in this bogus warrant, Robert Bridges amends the Probable Cause Affidavit and misidentifies the defendant as Kevin Terrell Taylor and not, Kevin Terrell Callaway. In addition to this, at the very end of the document it states that �a positive id was made on JC and he was positively identified as Kevin Terrell (KT) Callaway, DOB 03-20-83.� This was added at the end of the original affidavit and doctored to appear legitimate. From what little knowledge I have, this alone should be enough to render this entire investigation and case null and void. Moving along the discrepancies in said document, it is also mentioned that Robert Bridges, being the expert he is knows that 9 factors surround the illegal sale and distribution of drugs. Out of the 9 mentioned factors, only 1, which is factor H is relevant to this case and even then doesn�t substantiate a search warrant. Furthermore, the warrant advises that the suspect �weighed� the marijuana in front of the CI; however no scale was confiscated at the premise. As a matter of fact, there were no guns, weapons of any kind and no drugs found on anyone�s person save 2 and Vergil and his brother Mark are not those two. Adding to this crock of bull is the fact that there was no substantial amount of drugs confiscated and some of the evidence that was taken turned out not to be drugs at all. This does not align with months of extensive investigation any more than Robert Bridges fighting drug crimes when he�s advocated marijuana use and racial profiling on his MySpace page. EARLIER THAT DAY Kevin Callaway, who was living at the residence and who is the sole responsible party for what little drugs were sold talked to the CI. She (CI) was advised that his family, not a party, as purported by Robert Bridges, were to be there later that night. He didn�t tell her that they would be selling drugs, nor did he hint to the idea that drugs were involved. He simply told her that his family would be in town. This is information that Robert Bridges knew and gave him the prime opportunity to conjure a diabolical scheme to ruin the image and reputation of the Richardson family. Adding to the idea of a conspiracy is the fact that the search warrant was signed at 10:49 p.m. by Shelley Benton who lives some 15 to 20 minutes away, but was executed according to authorities at 10:30 p.m. COACH RICHARDSON�S CHARACTER Vergil Richardson exemplifies the true upstanding citizen with uncompromising character. He is a man of honest report and impeccable reputation for he had never been in jail or had a speeding ticket. He is the kind of person that parents could depend on to keep their children in line and they would often trust him to go so far as to discipline them. He spoke with his students about the importance of staying off drugs, out of jail and keeping their pants pulled up. As described by his brothers, Vergil is the house kid, the one that would never get in the street and into trouble. If ever he was out with his brothers and they ran across any of Vergil�s students, Vergil would ensure that his brothers were on their best behavior so as to not give a bad impression to the kids. This is Vergil Richardson�s character and anyone that knows him or would take the time to know him would know that he is highly incapable of selling, buying or using drugs. JUDGE MILLER In America, there is the presumption of innocence which states a person is innocent until proven guilty. Well, at least that�s how it supposed to work anyway, but not according to Judge Miller. Attorneys Mark Lesher and Clyde Lee heard Judge Miller state, �The Liberty Eylau coach trying to make him a little extra money.� With this type of attitude and position, Judge Miller ought to do the �noble thing� and recuse himself from this case seeing that he�s already formed an opinion in his mind regarding Vergil�s innocence or the lack of it anyway. The presumption of innocence is the legal right of the accused and places the burden of proof on the prosecution. There should be enough legally obtained and compelling evidence to convince the judge and jury, who are constrained and required by law to consider only actual evidence and if the accused isn�t guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, then he or she is to be acquitted. By the way, Judge Miller has also been very adamant about not allowing depositions of the police force and the special arrest team that was used to raid the home. This in itself is a daring attempt to hide evidence and hinder a thorough defense from taking place. THE NOBLE THING TO DO On November 18, 2008 there was a hearing in which Val Varley recused himself from the case citing he didn�t want anyone to think it was personal. In fact, it was already widely known that Judge Miller was going to recuse Val from the case anyway because he is a material witness to the arrest. Judge Miller upon hearing Val�s request to be removed from the case advised Val that it was the �noble thing to do.� Judge Miller can add to the nobility by stepping down from the case himself. A special prosecutor, Lisa Tanner, will be brought in to prosecute the case and Judge Miller exclaims during the hearing, �oh yeah she�s good.� Presuming that was to incite fear or intimidation into the Richardson family. Later newspaper reports would cite Val Varley as saying that Lisa Tanner was especially interested in the case because �it involved a school teacher.� Again, so much for the presumption of innocence as Val Varley starts his telephone and God only knows what else campaign in ruining the reputation, life and career of Vergil Richardson. On several occasions it has been reported that Val Varley told people that he would drop the charges against Vergil and his family if no fingerprints came back on any of the drugs. Not only did Val Varley not keep his word, he viciously called the school where Vergil was employed and told the administration that there were drugs found all on the table where Vergil and his brother was playing dominoes. WHERE ARE THE DRUGS Generally, this piece of information would be crucial enough to go into the evidentiary discovery, but it isn�t there because Val knows as well as everyone else there that drugs were not on the table. As a matter of fact, many pieces to this puzzle are missing. Several questions have gone unanswered and in the process lives have been ruined. Hanging in the balance of questions is the mystery as to how the drugs that the conspirators found total 75.1, but when it was all said and done there was actually on 56.1 grams of drugs total that were there. The arrest warrant gleamed on the fact that marijuana was being sold out of the house and that is what supposed to be searched for and that is what said suspect is to be arrested for. It�s no small wonder why there was only 43.03g of marijuana, 8.66g of cocaine, 4.31g of meth found in a storage building outside and why what small amount of substance found in the house turned out not to be drugs at all. It�s no small wonder, theory is they were planted. Well, needless to say, no fingerprints came back on any of the drugs, but Vergil and his family are still caught up in this cobweb of malicious prosecution for the sake of prosecution. COMMON DENOMINATOR Let�s not forget that the only person arrested that lived at the house was Kevin T. Callaway, everyone else lived somewhere else, Vergil and his brother Mark lives out of town. However, a young woman was there that night also; she was arrested and questioned only by Val Varley. Her arrest according to official paperwork was due only because she had warrants in another county. This being the case, then others who didn�t live there should have also not been arrested. This means that there should be substantial and compelling evidence that Vergil, his brother Mark and other family members are guilty of the crimes in which they have been accused. Actually, there is no evidence; no physical evidence, no corroborating witness testimony, no video surveillance, no one placing Vergil Richardson at the residence as someone who sold or bought drugs. BUILT-IN DEFENSE Kevin Callaway has signed a confession admitting that he alone is the sole responsible party for the drugs that were found on the premises, and that none of the other persons there had any knowledge of the fact. Why haven�t they asked him who he really got the drugs from then? This further proves the incompetence and lack of good judgment on behalf of Varley. Any prudent, fair and honest person would have dropped these charges against the Richardson a long time ago, but not Val Varley. He�s been getting away with railroading people for so long, he was on his way to doing it again but little did he know. The Richardson family has teamed up with others in the community such as local residents, activists and grassroots organizations to emphatically proclaim their innocence. Two rallies have already been held and a third is scheduled for December 27 around three O�clock p.m. and more will follow. LATEST HAPPENINGS IN THE CASE REFERENCE: TOPIX.COM IN CLARKSVILLE, TEXAS. LISTED BELOW ARE ARTICLES TAKEN OUT OF LOCAL PAPERS FROM TEXARKANA, TEXAS AND PARIS, TEXAS CONTAINING INFORMATION ON THE LATEST HAPPENINGS WITH THIS CASE. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS CASE IS ONGOING AFTER ALMOST THREE YEARS. I PERSONALLY, WITNESSED JUDGE MILLER BEING SYMPATHETIC WITH A WHITE FEMALE WHO WAS STANDING BEFORE HIM WANTING TO BE GRANTED A DIVORCE. JUDGE MILLER MADE JOKES AND SMILED CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL HE DISMISSED HER. THEN, IT WAS KEVIN CALLAWAY�S TIME TO BE BEFORE HIM. JUDGE MILLER TOTALLY DEGRADED HIM AND HIS ATTITUDE CHANGED. HE SEEMED REALLY FIRM AND ANGRY. THE JUDGE BROUGHT IN A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR ON THIS CASE ONLY TO DISAGREE WITH HER WHEN SHE DIDN�T AGREE WITH HIM. THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR STATED THE CASE SHOULD BE DISMISSED AGAINST THE RICHARDSONS IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE. THE JUDGE DENIED THE MOTIONS. THE JUDGE CLEARLY HAS MADE THIS PERSONAL AND CANNOT RENDER A FAIR JUDGEMENT. THE JUDGE HAS DONE WHAT HE HAS ALWAYS DONE, MADE THIS PERSONAL. JUDGE MILLER TOLD VERGIL RICHARDSON�S ATTORNEY THAT HE WOULD CONSIDER SIGNING THE PAPERS TO DROP THE CHARGES IF VERGIL RICHARDSON WOULD DROP HIS LAWSUIT. JUDGE MILLER STATED THAT IF VERGIL AND MARK RICHARDSON DID NOT DROP THE LAWSUIT, HE WAS GOING TO SEND THEM AND THEIR FAMILY TO PRISON. JUDGE MILLER, STATED THE HE ALSO KNEW FOR A FACT THAT THEY WERE DRUG DEALERS. IT IS INCONCEIVABLE, SINCE VERGIL RICHARDSON AND HIS FAMILY HAS LOST EVERYTHING. THAT�S LIKE SAYING, THE RICHARDSON�S SHOULD IGNORE THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE LOST WAGES, LIFE INSURANCE, HEALTH INSURANCE, SUPPORT FOR THEIR FAMILIES, AND THEIR LIVLIHOODS FOR THE PAST ALMOST THREE YEARS. COULD YOU BE THAT FORGIVING? VERGIL RICHARDSON HAS WORKED TO MAINTAIN A GOOD REPUTATION AND A THRIVING CAREER FOR YEARS ONLY TO HAVE IT TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM BECAUSE OF A VENDICTIVE DISTRICT ATTORNEY(VAL VARLEY) AND A POWER HUNGRY JUDGE (JUDGE MILLER). THEY WONDER WHY WE, BLACK AMERICANS, HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. I DON�T FEEL LIKE THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN RED RIVER COUNTY PROVIDES JUSTICE FOR THE BLACK MAN. FYI BELOW: Judge denies Attorney General�s motion By Bill Hankins The Paris News Published May 6, 2010 CLARKSVILLE � A ruling by 102nd District Court Judge John F. Miller Jr. in a Red River County drug case has brought a stir of concern all the way to the Texas capital. Miller denied a motion by the state Attorney General�s office special prosecutor in the case. The special prosecutor has asked the charges against former coach Vergil Richardson be dismissed for lack of evidence. CORRECTION: (NOT FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE, BUT IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE) It was the second time Miller had refused to drop the charges against Richardson, who is charged with drug possession, along with others at a home Richardson owns but does not reside in Clarksville. Clarksville law enforcement officers found drugs in the home during a raid on Nov. 17, 2007. CORRECTION: (LAW ENFORCEMENT BURST INTO THE HOUSE, THEY MADE CHARLES MOVE FROM THE CHAIR HE WAS SITTING AND MADE HIM SIT ON THE SOFA. THEN, THEY PULLED HIM UP AND KICKED UP THE SOFA PILLOW ONLY TO FIND A BAG OF POWDERY SUBSTANCE. AFTER SENDING IT OFF TO BE TESTED, THE RESULTS WER, IT WASN�T A DRUG AT ALL. THIS MAKES ME THINK EITHER THE SUBSTANCE WAS PLACE UNDER THE SOFA PILLOW BY THE POLICE OR THE MYSTERIOUS INFORMANT. Richardson and his brother, Mark, were visitors in the home at the time. Vergil Richardson had allowed his half brother, Kevin Callaway, to live at the residence. The Richardsons and Callaway were arrested. Events leading up to the arrest began when the Red River Sheriff�s Department received a tip drugs were being sold at the home. Deputies and others acted on a no-knock search warrant and burst into the home. CORRECTION: VERGIL RICHARDSON ASKED THE POLICE FOR THEIR SEARCH WARRANT, THEY DID NOT SHOW IT TO HIM. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE IN HAND. THE SEARCH WARRANT WAS SIGNED LATER ON AFTER THEY BURST INTO THE HOUSE. THERE IS PROOF OF THIS! When they found the drugs, they arrested everyone there, even though the Richardsons claimed they did not live there and had no knowledge of drugs. CORRECTION: THEY CLAIM THEY FOUND DRUGS IN THE STORAGE BUILDING BEHIND THE HOUSE AND THEY EVEN EXAGGERATED THE AMOUNTS THEY SUPPOSEDLY FOUND. Callaway has been sentenced for his part in the drug case. CORRECTION: CALLAWAY WAS NOT SENTENCED. HE ACCEPTED A PLEA THAT DID NOT INCLUDE DRUG REHAB. THE PLEA STATED HE WOULD GET 10 YEARS PROBATION AND THE CHARGES AGAINST THE OTHERS WOULD BE DROPPED. JUDGE MILLER ACCEPTED ONLY THE PART OF THE PLEA WHERE CALLAWAY WOULD GET THE 10 YEARS PROBATION. Red River County Attorney Val Varley was present during the drug raid and recused himself from the prosecution of the Richardsons. That prosecution was turned over to the Texas Attorney General�s office, and a special prosecutor, Nicole Habersang, was assigned to the case. It was after her investigation she filed a motion with the 102nd District Court to dismiss the case for lack of evidence against Vergil Richardson. Miller denied the motion in January and on its refiling again this week, saying:�Dismissal is not in the interest of justice.� He has set the trial for Vergil Richardson for Sept. 13. When the order of denial came down, Vergil Richardson said:�I understand the justice system is slow, but I have been out of my profession, which is coaching, for more than three years. They have taken our reputation from us. They have hurt our families, and they have taken everything from me they can.� The Richardson brothers have filed a lawsuit against Red River County, former Sheriff Terry Reed, the City of Clarksville, law enforcement officers Robert Bridges, Brandon Harbison and County Attorney Varley. �I have refused to drop the lawsuit because I have lost so much,� Richardson said Wednesday.�I think that is why they are refusing to drop the charges against me.� The Richardsons are asking for $2 million in compensatory damages in the suit filed in federal court in Texarkana. They also are seeking punitive damages in an amount to be determined by a jury. FYI BELOW: Judge denies bid to have charges dropped against former coach By: Lynn LaRowe - Texarkana Gazette - Published: 05/08/2010 A Red River County district judge has denied motions filed by an assistant attorney general to dismiss drug charges pending against a former Liberty-Eylau basketball coach. Verger Richardson, his brother Mark Richardson and four others were arrested Nov. 17, 2007, after a raid of a house on South Columbia Street in Clarksville, Texas. �Such dismissal would serve the interests of justice,� stated the motions filed by Nicole Habersang, the assistant attorney general appointed to prosecute the cases. Red River District Attorney Val Varley had to recuse himself because he participated in the raid and could be a potential witness. This week, 102nd District Judge John Miller denied the motions to dismiss, citing �the interests of justice,� and scheduled Verger Richardson, Mark Richardson, Xavier Richardson, Jermichole Richardson and Edward Richardson for trial in September. Miller could not be reached for comment Friday. The brothers maintain they were visiting Kevin Callaway, their half brother, when the raid occurred and had no idea drugs were in the house. On Nov. 20, 2009, Callaway pleaded guilty to three felonies and was assessed terms of probation. �On that date, the court orally indicated to the attorney for the state that the court would grant the motion,� states a motion filed by Habersang last month asking that Miller rule on the November motions to dismiss. Habersang�s motions note that on Jan. 5, Miller declined to grant the motions to dismiss, but issued an order indicating the state�s motions were �taken under advisement� until the state could review testimony taken from Callaway at a December 2009 meeting of the Red River County grand jury. Callaway reportedly denied knowing there was a stash of drugs in a backyard shed, though in earlier statements to investigators he admitted the drugs were his. �The state has reviewed the additional evidence and testimony cited by the court. At this time the state continues to maintain that the interests of justice require� a dismissal of the charges, Habersang�s motions said. A spokesman for the attorney general�s office said the office could not comment on Miller�s refusal to dismiss the cases. �It�s been our position, along with the AG who was appointed to prosecute these cases, that because of factual and legal problems that these cases should have been dismissed from the start. I have never in my career witnessed a trial judge denying a motion to dismiss where the motion was filed by the prosecutor,� attorney Mark Lesher said. Lesher filed a civil lawsuit alleging constitutional rights violations on behalf of Mark and Verger Richardson in November 2009. Named as defendants are Red River County; District Attorney Val Varley; Deputy Sheriff Robert Bridges; Sheriff Terry Reed; Justice of the Peace Shelly Benton; Police Chief Brandon Harbison of Clarksville, Texas; and the city of Clarksville. TULIA CONNECTION Tulia, TX a town of about 5,000 people became the center of national attention in July of 1999. A rogue cop by the name of Tom Coleman fabricated tales of drug sale, manufacturing and distribution to secure the arrest of 46 people, 40 of them black. The remaining 6 were white people who live in black neighborhoods and/or dated black people. The accused drug dealers showed no signs of having any income associated with selling drugs. The drugs Coleman claimed to have bought from the accused did not have the fingerprints of the accused on them or their baggies. No independent witnesses could corroborate Coleman's claims. During his testimony, Coleman gave inaccurate descriptions of the "dealers" he had allegedly bought cocaine from. His devious crime against humanity was discovered after many of the defendants had already served several years in prison. In 2004, after enough money was raised to challenge the case, Governor Rick Perry had exonerated and declared most of the Tulia 46 innocent. In the end, a whopping $6,000,000 lawsuit settlement was reached to avoid further litigation in civil court. The case bears striking similarities to that of the Richardson�s case, howbeit, the judicial process has the opportunity to make this travesty right before it goes this far. What will they do? HEARNE CONNECTION In November of 2000, a Tulia-like case was discovered in the city of Hearne, TX, which is in the County of Robertson in what the ACLU termed wrongful and malicious prosecution and a gross miscarriage of justice. 15 percent of the towns� African American male population was arrested on drug charges which would later prove bogus and unmerited. The ACLU filed suit against the South Central Texas Regional Narcotics Task Force and all of its agents, including the City of Hearne and the County of Robertson. Also named as a defendant is John Paschal, the Hearne District Attorney; and former head of the task force's Hearne unit. COLOMB FAMILY CONNECTION In addition to the Tulia and Hearne Texas fiasco, there was another �fake� drug case against an entire black family in Church Point, LA. A family by the last name of Colomb was wrongfully accused by the US Government of the sale, manufacturing and distribution of different types of drugs. Their life was completely ruined; they spent several months in prison, some suffering diabetic and nervous attacks. Sum it all up, the government�s case against them at some point unraveled. The sneaky and conniving way that the government would make confidential informants out of people with shady backgrounds, prisoners and jailhouse convicts would add to the shame and downright disregard for civil rights of Americans. This madness has got to end. Instead of waiting until the Richardson�s life is ripped apart any further through unlawful conviction, there is a demand for proactive intervention that will eliminate and discourage such actions based solely on race and vindictive and malicious prosecution for the sake of prosecution. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee has introduced the No More Tulias 46: Law Enforcement and Evidentiary Standards Improvement Act which details a comprehensive plan to ensure the rights of African Americans are protected from gross misconduct on behalf of law enforcement and judicial officials. WAR ON DRUGS The so-called "war on drugs" has created a national disaster: 1 in 9 young Black men in America are now behind bars. It's not because they commit more crime but because of unfair sentencing rules that treat 5 grams of crack cocaine, the kind found in poor Black communities, the same as 500 grams of powder cocaine the kind found in White and wealthier communities. These sentencing laws are destroying communities across the country and have done almost nothing to reduce the level of drug use and crime. Senator Joe Biden is one of the original creators of these laws and is now trying to fix the problem. But some of his colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee are standing in the way. I've signed on with ColorOfChange.org to tell them to stand with Joe Biden and undo this disaster once and for all. Will you join me? It just takes a moment and you can start by clicking on the link below: http://www.colorofchange.org/crackpowder/?id=1822-695407 Thanks.

The word itself is the substance. I care far less about the construction/grammar of the sentence than the words it contains. Confusing their, there and they're changes the meaning, the substance of the sentence quite a bit.

• @Anonymous Yes, spelling counts. Particularly when one professes to be a writer. Among those leaving comments on forums such as this it is an immediate sign of either a lack of intelligence or laziness. In both cases it is a strike against whatever opinion you might have to offer.

• Hey Scott, Two stories in the news really made me think of you son. One is about the overly gay football queens in Little Elm that like to stick bums in peoples faces...man that's got to be a proud daddy to know know his son is quickly becoming an ass pirate. The other is about Jerod Rost, the 5 foot something, four hundred pound strong man that beats up kids. He should be tearing up the jogging trail instead, that fat little fucker! What a world it is when a fat midget is considered a "strongman". Welp, dad says "hi" and you can come back when you get over you gayness.

• Do we? yep! we have a guy in this blog that likes to correct spelling and puntuation (noah webster).......dude, the overly gay man with tied shirt on his back blog is two streets over with the dancing with the stars and how to boil okra blog-queen! Man, what a lonley life; isn't your break at Braums over yet?

• Very upset RW didn't ask me to be his date at his reunion. On a side note, when I'm trying to flirt, people aren't impressed when I say "Hey, you read the Sportatorium? I'm THE scott."

• The words are spelled eerie and octagon.

• It's Wally, weeee!!!! Richie sure knows how to throw a party. Maybe Leon and the Fish will show up too?

• I'm having RW and Wilonsky pull the IP addresses, I don't post about sports!

• yes, investor does smell like nutsack-I know, if you know what I mean. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

• "greggo is probably the only chance to save 105.3 the fail....although, it has been so long now greggo is pretty much irrelevant and long forgotten" . I think the guy is still relevant, but he couldn't save dinky. Just like the last FOUR shows he's been on, if you hire him its only a matter of time before he shows up stoned, er um, I mean needing another adjustment to his anti-depressant medication. . How sad.

• Dear Investor, We here at the group have it on high authority (not Coop) that you smell like nutsack. Thank you!

• I wished that everyone would quit using my name. You're all obviously fake scott's. Anyway, I must come clean. RW, the iron piece on your wall was vibrating because of me. I was hiding under your bed using my vibrator. Next time you wake up and can't get back to sleep, feel free to join me! PS- Not sure about the door slamming shut noise. I didn't hear it. PPS- Put some dudes on the hot or not next week! Me 'n Sybil can decide if they're really hot or not. RW's secret admirer, obviously real scott

• thanks for the heads up fan insider. No need to tune in now.

• @ FAKE SCOTT, You must not be much of a long time P1. Tommy Daniels is "Chet Ford" and Doug Anderson is "Doogie".

• @Guy and @Thong, it's a hickey that I left.

• @Guy with good taste: so which is it?

• I'm sure it's Wally Lynn coming back to a familiar, being crushed by The Ticket.

• Dammit, Thong n cheese, you made me go back and look again.

• What's his phone number?

• Greggo sucks D's!

• greggo is probably the only chance to save 105.3 the fail....although, it has been so long now greggo is pretty much irrelevant and long forgotten

• It may be Leon "the barber" or Fish the "back pocket boy"......or, maybe it's Jenn Floyd! Chet Ford, aka "Doogie". Max MIller. Maybe T-Bar. Maybe, Rodney from the early time Musers! MUUUUUUUSHMOUTH? Ben and Skin if they get fired again. Please not Pete Stein. Maybe Gavin and any of the assholes from the old 105.3. Richard Hunter? Max Morgan? How about Mike Irvin's coke addicted lover man tribunal? COOL-maybe Deon and Mike, where you can't understand f'ing anything between the laughs, the ghetto rappin' and the grunts.

• @Anonymous: I'm sure that is who RW is telling us to "stay tuned" for. He wants everyone to think that it will be Greggo so people will actually listen, when in reality, it will only be Wally!

• Where is Wally Lynn? You teased it last week and I still have heard nothing>

• Poll question: Which chick is RW more likely to date, the "hot" or the "not" girl? I bet RW loves so fat girls. The "not" girl looks like a grazing cow.

• My god, does the fat chick have a huge zit on her tit or does she have tiny nipples? Why the hell are you surfing sexyfatgirls.net? I think they feature scott's mom on that site.

• Riding a bike in full gear is totally gay unless your in a race.....I don't go out back and play whiffleball in full baseball uni replete with spikes, cups, chaw, and Nascar wrap around sunglasses. And they belong on the sidewalk, not on the street. The only thing gayer than serious bike man in full gittup is facebook and myspace users over 20, or anyone hanging out with Affliction man/MMA douche. He he. What, I just wanted to eat crawfish! The 20 something handbook for success: -be EXTREME! -fight -work thirty hours a week and chill for the rest -watch extreme wrasslin' and punch man box fight -don't ever offer your parents rent, even though you clearly are old enough to support yourself

• What's sybil summers? is that like New Hampshire summers where you sit on the lake all day and swig bud light? maybe go down the Alpine Slide or go to Hart's Turkey Farm?

• The Hot looks like someone bolted two sofballs onto her chest. . The Not made me throw up in my mouth a little.

• Where is that guy that likes to go eat crawdad's with with the 20 somethings? I've been very busy doing productive things and I just can't get that post off my mind....and his response to me: "#uck off, I just wanted to party-die!" He he. I think his name was meatwad or something. Anyhow, here in the lab we are working on a fake scott that canoes down the Glover reading, explores the Ardmore Uplift, and shoots violent chan ho stomach devils(frequently called the "aftermath") on the floor of rural Oklahoma Walmarts. ps-I was in a Sulphur, OK. Walmart last week, and this guy was telling his buddy not to get a 6 X 6 tent because people will get in his tent when he's drinking and shit all over it. Only in a Walmart in OKLAHOMA.

• *28th year reunion? Who does that? *Would you consider Betty White to be antiquated? *I wanna see Ironman 2 AND Babies. Is Jewel/Ed available to go with me?

• i think i'm starting to become a fan of vajazzling. and i love the p1 baiting. that miggs bit ought to be good for about 20 comments.

• Richie, Is that a zucchini in your spandex or are you just happy to see me?

• Richie,call ghost lab, they are out of Texas

• There's a fine line between creative and stupid.

• your blackjack 'system' has been around for years. it's called Martingale. it will work until your losing streak is long enough where doubling the bet exceeds the table limit. if there are no limits, and you have an unlimited bankroll, it will work. otherwise....

• Greggo's FB status said standby yesterday....it's a Greggo week/audition/train wreck. Do you like this gig...I mean I'm cuntry!

• Here's Dirk drowning his sorrows in Miami, courtesy TMZ: http://www.tmz.com/2010/05/06/dirk-nowitzki-dallas-mavericks-tequila-picture-nba-playoffs/

• I try very hard to be courteous to bike riders, always slow down, get in the next lane and so on, but dang it, it sure seems like most of them ignore traffic laws. I love the riders who switch lanes without signaling or warning right in front of you. Creepy sounds in the house -- once lived in a house built in '46 and our basset hound for 6 months straight, every single night would half-bark a few times at the same wall in the living room and then slowly move his head as if he were watching someone walking by him. Then it stopped and he never did it again. Used to freak me out. Checked out everything, even went up on the roof at night (that was fun). Nothing Nothing Nothing. Won't miss Barbie, but he's not even in the top 10 of first rounds busts. Anyone remember Rod Hill? Dennis Homan? Larry Bethea? And that's not even getting into Genius Jerry's stellar picks. Say hi to Bascik. The Ticket wronged him big time. Hope he can find a place at your station.

• @P1 Lemming, not a problem whatsoever and no need to apologize. What got me going is I'm just not ready to here anything positive about the Mavericks. Not after what happened. It's too early, too fresh after the debacle that took place. Seeing Ricie waste space on a 2nd team all nba selection for Dirk was just too much for me to remain silent! But I'm in a good mood now after hearing the courage boys discussing how Jeff Baker got injured.

• @Russell, sorry about comparing you to MP, you bring it hard sometimes..

• P.S. "Sorry about all the problems." (Referring to the spelling and punctuation mistakes on previous post).

• I'd rather see Betty White on SNL than the latest flash in the pan celebrity.

• @Russell's Mother. I know that's you Richie. Funny bit-lol. Not. Anyhoo, so you have this mystery guest next week you're tesing us with. I see many going with the obvious choice of Greggo. But Richie you seem to smart to tease us if it's Greggo, because obviously we all know he's not dependable whatsoever and may just stand the station up altogether on this one appearance. It's almost like it has to be a "I'll believe it when I see it (or when he actually arrives in the studio) type of scenario." But I will be tuning in because anyone is better that Newy (who really isn't on vacation--he's actually getting lap-band surgery).

• Hope your fill-in is Sweet Greggo, just pay him his 8 dollar dee dollar that he would be earning building docks. If not him, then I hope for Bascik..he may be too hot still, but I know he's available. RW, if Greggo is persona non grata still, can you enlighten us on your piece a while back about Greggo breaking his ankles/police confrontation? Russell=Mark Perez? Rooster, I would figure you the last person to bash Betty White (POW)..would've figured her for one of your ex wives moreso..This whole damn Rangers season has been been awesome (some bad some good, but all very entertaining) I'm beginning to turn on Mikey Young though, c'mon Mikey WTF are you doing over there on d-fense..other than killing us, and maybe mix in a hit with RISP..I love the Smoak monster and think that Craig Gentry may have a little something..Happy Mothers Day (on Sunday), to all the good sweet Moms out there.

• My bewilderment shot to 11 regarding your bewilderment over Spinal Tap.

• Honey, did you forget to take your meds this morning?

• Mystery guest is definitely Greggo.

• Creepy house crawlings = angry ex-wife. At least that's what it was for me. . Blackjack - seems like a lot of work for a hundred bucks. . Out on Babies. In on Ironman 2. . If you played in metal bands in the 80's, you get Spinal Tap. . Betty White - someone remind me again what the big deal is about her? . Over/under on number of games Pacman plays before his next suspension = 5. Takin' the under.

• Greggo? Big dick hunter? hmmm....And yes that Rangers game last night was absolutely thrilling. We think the OSB makes some dumb bullpen decisions, Hillman is getting killed in KC today for removing tejeda after mowing down 5 straigh rangers so that Soria could attempt the 4 out save. We would be killing Warsh if he had done that.

• @Russell: Hiya, how's your day going sunshine?!

• Newy, you're pawnduh?? You mean that other windbag that has absolutely no talent, no shtick whatsoever? Well, nobody else will miss that talentless, narcissistic blowhard. And what's with the Dirk Nowitzki rant? We aren't ignorant, fly by night fans here Richie. He's been here over 11 years and we know what talent he has and what he lacks. And do you think we really give a damn at this point that he gets 2ND all-nba team? Don't you remember when Golden State bounced the Mavs out and then he got MVP? Remember how it didnt really matter after that? Remember? So now you want to make a big deal out of him getting selected for this 2nd nba team when they just got embarrassed for the 3rd time in 4 years. Stop insulting our intelligence Richie and move on to something at least somewhat relevant!
