Good grief - 15 broken ribs? That's basically an entire-chest crushing injury. How do you even do that?
I picture all 3 of them standing, or even jumping, on him.
Yeah, jumping, or dropping down on one's knee. Rib-breaking requires a sharp, hard blow - or 15.
Could someone have run the guy over with a car? That would do it too.

A police affidavit quotes a witness as saying she saw Nunez knock Wisham to the ground and then pummel him with her fists.
This would have had to be some pummelling, unless he had a medical condition that contributed.

And you think 13 or 14 year olds haven't seen thing far, far more explicit than a plastic water squirtle every single day on TV, the Internet, and their phones? Puh-lease. Have you ever been to Tumblr? Not to mention - this really gets your panties in an uproar? Seriously?

George Zimmerman Says He Was Punched in FL Restaurant After Talking About Trayvon Martin
And another racist dinkweed got punched today, too:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/d...
And, yeah, the guy who clobbered him has WAYNE in his name.
http://moviepilot.com/posts/2753000This article explains that decades after Dean Corll left Indiana to live closer to his mom in Texas, a man living at Corll's old Indiana address found what looks like a human femur buried in the crawlspace. I, personally, am prepared to jump to the conclusion that it is another victim, not just because Corll lived there, but because the address is in Fort WAYNE.
The "doctrine of chances" will play a role in the murder trial of Felix Vail (the oldest prosecution of a suspected serial killer in U.S. history). This is the first I have ever heard of the doctrine. The doctrine of chances allows evidence to show that it is unlikely a defendant would be repeatedly, innocently involved in similar, suspicious circumstances.
Interesting when you consider they aren't allowed to bring in past bad acts but I can see the difference.

"In November, Louisiana's 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the trial court "did not abuse its vast discretion" when it ruled in March that prosecutors could introduce evidence of these disappearances.
While courts generally bar evidence of other "bad acts," judges can permit such proof to show "absence of mistake or accident.""

And I just LOVE how he's traumatized and “will go far in this world if not defined by this one incident.” When the FORK did RAPE become an INCIDENT. Like it accidently happened to him.
No Prison For Colorado Student Who Raped ‘Helpless’ Freshman and guess what, he's white.
Well, boys will be boys, you know. It's just incidental. We gals just have to grin and bear it. No, wait...

Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, may have more charges against him soon and another trial.https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1608039...
Brendan Dassey's conviction for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach had been overturned by a federal judge. Dassey is Steve Avery's nephew.http://www.people.com/article/brendan...
Another not so fine day for Wisconsin. I'll be glad for the day when Making of a Murderer is a distant memory or I'll settle for just goes away right now. That series has caused nothing but trouble and only showcased parts of the trial and investigation. Living here and remembering what it was like during that whole thing, I just get so upset at those filmmakers for what they did. Now Dassey will walk unless the DA's Office can make an air tight case against him in 90 day. And now Avery is appealing again with a new season of the blasted show coming out I don't know when. It's madness and just a big fat mess.
Kid goes manic while high on "flakka," kills 2 people and eats the face off one of them:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...

Another cold case solved through DNA:http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/...
Don't know why New Zealand is reporting on it, as it's a California/Oklahoma case...
There is nothing better than hearing about a cold case that gets solved.

Oh, man, how she must have felt when they found those people buried in the yard!
I heard a report on NPR that started out by explaining the national homicide rate rose 18% this year, "caused by events in just a few cities." They went on to correct that, saying it's just Chicago's gang war:http://reason.com/blog/2016/09/19/rep...
I heard that too. Way to go Chicago, screw up the stats.
Rodney Alcala, the Dating Game Killer, has been charged with a 1977 murder. http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/09/21...
