David Milgard had few to turn to, for support. His mother.

If you were innocent of a crime, jensend, perhaps you would look to and hope the farm community would support you. Agrivuille is a place where farmers can discuss issues with each other.

A farmer who still claims, after being jailed for 22 years, that he is innocent, should be a able to read a receptive word somehere on the net, and especially amongst his own.

And AV is a farm forum. Surely it is a place where men are indeed men. Pars

Yes, I'll read it.

AAAANNNNDDD......what if you want to kill your old lady and get away with it someday-i would say this would be "required reading" material.

Well, posted this under the wrong thread, my
apologies, don't know how to edit it.
As I said, I always doubted Thatcher's guilt and I
would like to read his book. The crown prosecutor had
a rep for big mistakes.

Milgard was mentioned. Question - where was his mother when the young kid really needed her? I'll wait until Thacher's book is available in the public library. They may, however, decide not purchase any copies. In which case, if it's 40 minutes of reading and forever in a landfill, put it on e-bay, and I might buy.

I want to know how far the legal process can go astray. It is possible that there are pitfalls in our system that this book may warn us about.

Guess I'll never really knowunless I read the book.

[coppertop]

I think this book is only going to put the
Thatcher kids and likely grand chidren into
the media glare once again.

checking, Not only was Milgard's mother with him throughout court sessions for years and years. but she essentially worked to get evidence that finally proved him not guilty. A hard task indeed, since both of them were then, and obviously still are, branded villains.

You speak of her as if she should have anticipated he would be wrongly charged and convicted.He's not the guilty one here, nor is she.

I note you didn't ask where the mother of the man was who did the actual killing. Nor did you ask about a father. No you did not. Pars

Only said mother because as has been pointed out, "men are not human". You know I wasn't talking about Joyce Milgard going to the mat for her child, after the fact. There were alot of growing up years before any of this happened. Anyways, I'm too tired to spate. You have a good harvest.

It is nice to know that we are not alone, isn't it!

I noticed this week, in the "Co-op" flyer, that they take "Interac", "Visa", "Mastercard", "American Express" and "Agricard", (and of course cash), as payment options.

I also noticed how FCC "Term Loan Finance Program" and "Agriculture Supplies Finance Program" are being made available through participating Co-ops.

I had never heard of "Agricard" before. (www.agricard.coop)

I don't expect it will be too long before the "lines of credit" for agriculture purchases become concentrated in a very few hands. Sure makes you want to do more business via cash or cheque (where allowed)....

As the credit becomes more concentrated and controlled by fewer corporations, the debt load each farmer holds will also concentrate. Any and all debt/liability owing, where-ever and however obtained, it won't matter. The bottom line will be who holds your line of credit? And who is capable of buying it? ?Foreign interests?
