Technically, it was indecent assault.

But did he get away with it totally? I thought he had a least got a slap on the wrist.

Bobby Kimble, singer for Toto, is from Vinton, LA and is in the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.

Alabama is home or was home until she died to the only person to be hit by an asteroid.

The first 911 call was made in Alabama.

Windshield wipers were invented in a Alabama.

Alabama was the first state to recognize Christmas as a national holiday.

Supposedly, when the US annexed Spanish Florida, there was a plan to make the Florida Panhandle part of Alabama. Of course that didn’t happen.

How so?

The government used to work on Christmas Day, was seen as a England or the kings holiday. Wasn’t always how it is now.

There is just no litter in Michigan from the Saginaw bay north. Clean and beautiful with very little crime. I grew up in midland and from the time I was born in 1960 till just late last year, there was not even one shooting in that city.

Everyone thinks MI is Detroit.

N MI in the summer (Torch Lake, Mackinaw, Traverse City, etc) is absolutely beautiful and pristine.

I'm no lawyer but I would think every state has civil law and criminal law. La. is the only state with a code-based statutory system(Napoleonic code) which provides a stable frame of reference. Every other state uses case law which is highly fluid. OT lawyers have at me
