@ Cville Native - I've been</h1> <article> <h1>@ Cville Native - I've been</h1> <p>kate burg — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:18:13 +0000</p> <p>@ Cville Native - I've been thinking about the Jens Soering/Haysom case as well. As a child in Roanoke at the time, I remember it well, and there was quite a media frenzy around it - especially for the time period.</p> <p>I think the Huguely case does have many similarities to that case in the reason for the intense media focus. First the UVA connection, UVA is known as a top university and college students aren't the type of people you'd expect to kill others. Also the wealth and status of the families - the Haysoms were known to be wealthy and Mr. Soering's status as a diplomat certainly added to that element. And the domestic nature of both cases, perhaps....although different, there do seem to be many similarities.</p> <p>The Soering case had cameras in the courtroom though. In Roanoke, they would play it during the day and then re-run the day's proceedings at night. And this was pre-OJ. I'm thankful there are no cameras in this case....although I admit I'd probably watch if there were.</p> </article> <article> <h1>The 2006 Interstate Athetice</h1> <p>Steve Blaine — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:08:50 +0000</p> <p>The 2006 Interstate Athetice Conference (IAC) Football title was won by Episcopal High School, not Landon.</p> </article> <article> <h1>@Downtown Brown - women are</h1> <p>Cville Native — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:07:28 +0000</p> <p>@Downtown Brown - women are usually more agressive in sports though. Either or you can tell the difference in a bruise from a fight and a bruise from a Lax ball or stick.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Totally agree with "saywha?".</h1> <p>kate burg — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:06:26 +0000</p> <p>Totally agree with "saywha?". It's pretty obvious that George was an experienced drinker - and I highly doubt he had his first drink when he got to UVA. And Huguely and Love are both over 21.</p> <p>Show me a college that doesn't have a "underage drinking problem" and I'll show you a bridge I'm selling in New York. And as a UVA alum, I can say that UVA was always doing different programs to raise awareness of binge drinking....but I'm doubtful that any of it works....which I don't think is UVA's fault at all.</p> <p>Bart - George's Republican family? This has absolutely nothing to do with politics. Kappa Alpha Theta, Dom Starsia, and much to many people's chagrin, UVA, are not on trial here.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Sometimes you can get a good</h1> <p>Miss Information — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:04:12 +0000</p> <p>Sometimes you can get a good blackout going based on drinking quickly, even if it's far less than your normal tolerance.</p> </article> <article> <h1>GHVs size and tolerance to</h1> <p>Kate George — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:50:17 +0000</p> <p>GHVs size and tolerance to alcohol given his regular habit of consumption are a key factor here. Had he imbibed? Yes. Did that make him lose all access to his faculties? I think not.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Women's lax is a completely</h1> <p>Downtown Brown — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:49:36 +0000</p> <p>Women's lax is a completely different game than men's. Much, much less physical, and the rules are set up that way. Women don't even wear helmets. Not that I think this is all that relevant, just shedding a little light on the differences between the two sports.</p> </article> <article> <h1>@Brian K - GH told them in</h1> <p>Cville Native — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:47:02 +0000</p> <p>@Brian K - GH told them in the interrogation later that he put the laptop (what he also stated was 'collateral') in the dumpster and told them where it was...I think his haze only affected the fact that he should have asked for an attorney right off the bat and made no statement at all.</p> <p>Oddly, kids in this area - at least when I went to school got an attorney to come in and told us if we were ever arrested for anything what to say and not to say and request an attorney/your parents. (Thanks Scott Goodwin.)</p> </article> <article> <h1>@Gasbag - I thought about it</h1> <p>Cville Native — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:41:14 +0000</p> <p>@Gasbag - I thought about it and if you gave me a choice of dying at the end of a knife (stabbed 16 times) or being beaten and left for dead but living for about 2 hours as my body fought to breathe etc - I'm pretty sure both were pretty horrible deaths. </p> <p>Now, if you gave me a choice of who would inflict it on me - I choose a US Marine let them beat me to death - they know how to kill within 3 seconds. That is what they are trained to do in hand-to-hand combat. One, two, three - dead. More merciful IMO.</p> </article> <article> <h1>@Jefferson - because it</h1> <p>Cville Native — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:35:07 +0000</p> <p>@Jefferson - because it happened here. We will see the same coverage when it is time at Penn and all the others too when their cases move forward.</p> </article> </main></body></html>
