Hartzfeld Van Nuys Blake is victim Re ``Blake cleared of all charges in wife's slaying'' (March 17): Now that he has been found innocent, will the courts, district attorney, and police department help Robert Blake restore his life, the year he lost in jail and all the money and property he gave up to defend himself? Once more, a citizen is victim of the government. - James Ross James Ross can refer to:

However, I was shocked to read that his father had been sending him $1,200 a month for some time. If this is true and was coming out of his bank account on a regular basis, why did this not raise a flag? Perhaps he might have been captured sooner if the authorities had picked up on this. - Jim Millard Sylmar Let her go Re ``Right to life'' (Your Opinions, March 17): All the emotion aside, what the Terry Schiavo case Schiavo case, the legal battles over the guardianship and rights of Theresa Maria Schindler Schiavo (1963–2005). Terri Schiavo was incapacitated and hospitalized in 1990, after she collapsed when her heart stopped beating due to a potassium imbalance, and her is about is the right to choose. As a married woman, what her parents want is irrelevant. Every accusation they have made has been investigated and litigated to death. The facts are the court's own appointed doctors say Terry is in a permanent vegetative state Vegetative State Definition A coma-like state characterized by open eyes and the appearance of wakefulness is defined as vegetative. Description The vegetative state is a chronic or long-term condition. ; repeated accusations of abuse and neglect were found false, and her husband, despite moving on with his life, has rejected offers of up to $10 million to abandon her. After five years, enough is enough. For Terry's sake, let her body go where her mind has already gone. - John Kurt Reseda C-SPAN's error Re ```Balance' doesn't always equal accuracy'' (Their Opinions, March 16): I was appalled that C-SPAN could be that stupid to say it was its policy to be fair in presenting David Irving's view of the Holocaust. He was on trial in Great Britain Great Britain, officially United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, constitutional monarchy (2005 est. pop. 60,441,000), 94,226 sq mi (244,044 sq km), on the British Isles, off W Europe. The country is often referred to simply as Britain. for the views he expressed and found to be a liar, not a historian. Deborah Lipstadt, who wrote about the horrors of the Holocaust, was totally vindicated. This trial was the subject of her book. C-SPAN should feel ashamed, dishonored dis·hon·or n. 1.

I have never seen anything remotely like that in my reading of the law or the Constitution. What I have gleaned was that judges were to interpret the law as it exists, not to remake the law to fit their own political bias. If activist judges were allowed to make or bend the law, we would not longer be a society of law and order, but one where chaos would rule. - Sid Conkwright Van Nuys Founders' intentions Re ``Activist judges'' (Your Opinions, March 13): Grady Turnbull writes that our Founding Fathers set up our U.S. government to allow activist judges (who make their own laws). The founders gave us the U.S. Constitution. They granted only Congress the power to make law. The Supreme Court has no grant of power to make laws. It can only hear cases to determine whether a law is constitutional. Furthermore, Article III, Section 2, gives Congress the power to control appellate jurisdiction APPELLATE JURISDICTION. The jurisdiction which a superior court has to bear appeals of causes which have been tried in inferior courts. It differs from original jurisdiction, which is the power to entertain suits instituted in the first in stance. Vide Jurisdiction; Original jurisdiction. (appeal from lower courts) of the Supreme Court. Also, lower federal courts are created by Congress, and their jurisdiction is subject to congressional control. - Dominick Odorizzi Northridge Leno and Jackson trial Re ``Jackson gag order A court order to gag or bind an unruly defendant or remove her or him from the courtroom in order to prevent further interruptions in a trial. In a trial with a great deal of notoriety, a court order directed to attorneys and witnesses not to discuss the case with the media—such won't include Leno's gags'' (March 25): The picture of Jay Leno getting out of the car was a scream.

- Steve Urbanovich Burbank Not amused Re ``Not apathy'' (Your Opinions, March 11): Fortunately for our judicial system and electoral process, not everyone thinks like Yost, who refers to the Michael Jackson trial as a ``circus,'' the Robert Blake trial as a ``fiasco,'' and Martha Stewart's problems with the law as a ``romp.'' I don't feel that the very serious charges against Michael Jackson and Robert Blake are amusing, nor, I'm sure, do the jurors. - Eddie Cress Sylmar El Toro Airport The cities of Los Angeles and Fullerton have moved with vigor to acquire the El Toro Airport and run it. Orange County has failed to do it, while Irvine sponsored a phony great park. The land grabbers of El Toro didn't realize that any federally recognized operator of airports can operate El Toro International Airport. The airport is needed, the houses arenot, the great park was a sham, and this is what is happening. - Donald Nyre Newport Beach Instant runoff The Los Angeles runoff system comes at a high price. The current system requires the city pay for yet another election, costing millions. Candidates have to scramble to raise more money to barrage the public with more negative campaign ads. A simple solution exists - instant runoff voting allowing voters the chance to vote based on ranked preference, solves all of these problems. If there's no majority winner, the weakest candidate is eliminated. Voters whose first choice has been eliminated have their second choice count until a majority is achieved. This takes place ``instantly,'' eliminating the need for a second election. This system allows voters to truly vote their hearts rather than worrying about voting for a spoiler spoiler: see airplane. 1. spoiler - A remark which reveals important plot elements from books or movies, thus denying the reader (of the article) the proper suspense when reading the book or watching the movie. 2. candidate. - Jeff Horne Los Angeles |
