On Sunday, I received via e-mail a copy of a petition containing fifteen pages of comments and questions regarding the murder of Stacey Burns with the request to comment and forward to any official offices I felt might react to the points raised in that document. I am...

Just back from a wonderful week long cruise to Mexico during which we had no cell phone nor internet communications. Luckily, we were able to see the Super Bowl! I will get back to posting regularly but first a brief reminder. The last few posts before the trip dealt...

I’ll be out of town for a week so no new posts after this one until late next week. In the meantime, we are now at 99 days until the anniversary of Stacey Burns’ murder. As I said in the previous post, I’m not only doubting that her killer will be...

In fourth or fifth grade, I’m not sure which, I encountered a rock fight in a vacant lot as I walked from school to my part time job as a clean-up boy at the local movie theater. I knew several participants on either side and I remember thinking how stupid it...

Thomas Jefferson is credited with the following quote even though it is probably not his. “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” I am hoping, somewhat desperately, that this new year will see people of...

A correspondent suggests in a post response (see “A Startling Statement” at www.dukesouthard.com) that I should perhaps change the title of my book on the Stacey Burns murder to Small Town Murder; Big City Crime. The reason for the suggestion is based on...
