And some people don’t like go fund me because it takes a cut.
But you're in luck. The guy that runs the parody Matt Campbell twitter has a go fund me and the proceeds will be sent to thd official account.
Another young woman attacked and stabbed to death by a random man. WTF is wrong with people?

I know we could probably post something like this every day, or many on random gun violence. But stabbing an innocent woman just seems so personal and heinous. idk, not sure I will get over this CBA killing anytime soon and I have two daughters at ISU right now.

Glad for him that he said it that last time. The whole thing is horrible, but at least he doesn't spend the rest of his life wishing he'd said it that time.
That view actually cuts off the location of the 9th teebox where it occurred. KCCI showed some coverage that showed essentially where investigators continued to look for additional clues afterward, essentially directly adjacent to the teebox.
Birds of a feather. They didn't want to drop him off back at his camp due to the large police presence. Hmm, wonder what they were worried about.
I'm doing contract work at the DOT and every time I drive here, I realize how close I was to where it all went down and feel sick inside. Plus I'm 90% sure I saw this POS at the Hy-Vee on Grand 30-45 days ago. Just disgusts me to no end.
My understanding was he was arrested passed out for pubic intox at a Hyvee prior to all this happening.
I've done some criminal defense work and interned for the Public Defender's Office during law school. I will say it is at times difficult. You see innocent people hurt and you do feel for them.
With that said, you also see the absolute abundance of power law enforcement and prosecutors have. They have broad discretion in whom they charge, how they charge them and what penalty they seek. Just in the Des Moines Metro in the last year or two you've seen instances of blatant profiling and a case where they've planted evidence on a defendant. There's also abundant overcharging where they charge people with crimes they could not possible prove only to give them a "deal" by negotiating them down.
They have advantages that just about any criminal defendant does not have. They have the backing of the State of Iowa at their disposal. Just take a look at the staffing of a County Attorney against a Public Defender.
So I always looked at myself as a check on prosecutorial power. I figured that if you made them do their job, and do their job well, it would only benefit the system as a whole.
With that said, there's a reason I don't practice in that anymore. It does take a special type of personality.
The “camp” is just across the creek to the north of where hole 14 fairway starts. You can see the open area in the trees in the attachment.
If you play golf early in the spring or late in the fall when there are no leaves on the trees, you can see it while playing hole 14.
Yeah, I was an intern at a prosecutor's office in law school and loved it. I couldn't be a defense attorney, but public defenders are saints. They are overworked, underpaid, and take the jobs no one else wants.
I'd also be interested to hear from @IsUaClone2 and others about these "loopholes" because I feel like most if not all of them actually have pretty good reasons for existing. Loophole implies that there's a gap and I don't necessarily think that's true
FYI replied to a similar retort with this to clarify. This isn't about not understanding how the justice system works.
If I'm a defense lawyer and I'm in a case that involves a murder and it's clear as day that it happened and how it happened, I'd have a hard time having any kind of conscience to come up with a way to give them less time, etc.
Which is why I'm not a lawyer.
Great ESPN article about Celia

New details emerge from the court documents...
The social media account, which agents suggested belonged to him, showed a publicly viewable photo updated in July that depicted a comic of a person holding a filled coffee cup with a caption “let’s go commit a murder.” The person was depicted adding milk to the coffee with another caption that investigators said read “let’s contemplate a murder.”
According to an acquaintance, Richards said he had an “urge to rape and kill a woman” several days before the murder.

The accused killer in CBA's murder will be tried in my hometown of Decorah, Iowa, according to the Ames Trib. A change of venue was requested by the accused's legal team, arguing that Central Iowa would not provide an impartial jury. The state proposed Webster County. For now, the trial is scheduled for SEPT 10. The Winneshiek County Courthouse does a pretty good job from what I can tell.

Rooting for another inmate to stab him in the neck with a rusty knife before the trial date.
