Clerker, did the hospital employees violate any other fancy legal mumbo jumbo?

The article on Cornbleet's murder misses the most interesting point. The suspect was not a French citizen when he committed the murder. He fled to St. Martin, applied for and was granted French citizenship (his mother was a French citizen) and then confessed to the crime, knowing he couldn't be extradited.

Not only did they mispell HIPAA on this "legal website," but they said that an intangible object has been sued.

Lat is still $725 short of his fundraising goal for the NYC marathon. Time for all the associates who profited by the raises that he helped you get to open the wallets.
