Small GPS Devices Help Prosecutors Win Convictions

Like millions of motorists, Eric Hanson used a GPS unit in his Chevrolet TrailBlazer to find his way around. He probably didn't expect that prosecutors would eventually use it too — to help convict him of killing four family members.
Prosecutors in suburban Chicago analyzed data from the Garmin GPS device to pinpoint where Hanson had been on the morning after his parents were fatally shot and his sister and brother-in-law bludgeoned to death in 2005. He was convicted of the killings earlier this year and sentenced to death.
The growing popularity of GPS systems — in cars, cell phones and other handheld devices — gives authorities another powerful tool to track suspects.

The Democrats are preparing you for how expensive it will be if they get into power.

Boy's Best Friend

7-year-old boy from Cambodia who has a big snake as his best friend.




The snake named Chomran, which means "lucky" in Khmer, is a 20 ft long python who apparently loves giving his human buddy big hugs. A possible reason of their great relationship is their age, which is the same. One might think that at the age of 7 two different individuals would share the same interests.

Poor kid ... he has to have the stupidest parents on the planet. Who would allow their 7 year old to play with a deadly snake like that? It would take seconds for that snake to crush that little boy. Sometimes you just can't fix stupid.
