I apologize for yet another nitpick, but John Miller was sentenced, not convicted yesterday. He was convicted way back in 2000 and sentenced to death, and then the Court of Appeals threw out the death sentence (but not the guilty verdict.) For some reason they then set up this weird plea bargain where Miller got the right to a new trial but pleaded guilty, and after that he tried (unsuccessfully) to back out of his guilty plea.

Thanks, I do appreciate it.

I'm very pleased to see that Deval Patrick will not be Obama's nominee for Attorney General. When Patrick was the assistant AG for the civil rights division he unfairly went after the state of Maryland over conditions for prisoners at Supermax. He would have been a bad choice for the Attorney General's job.
