Stiles seems bitter that his twelve minute tape will make him die in prison; if they put a molester like Chester the Molester into the general prison population, I would imagine that the twelve minutes it would take him to die would indeed last a lifetime. That he doesn't appreciate the enormity of his crime is mind-boggling to me.

I was once arrested for DUI when an angry in-law called my plate no. and car as driving drunk as a payback for a family dispute. The cop was a friend of the in-law, so I got pulled over and 'flunked' the field sobriety test, or so the arresting officer claimed; I then blew triple zeros at the station and had no drugs in my system. No matter what, you or I or Mr Darling will 'flunk' the field sobriety test whenever it suits the cops[especially in this case, where the cop was driving recklessly].CYA is the Metro motto.

Sinatra711, you make a very good point about Mr Darling not being able to pass a field sobriety test;but I'll go you one better: I was arrested in 2003 in Idaho for DUI; I too failed the field sobriety tests, acording to the arresting officer. Of course the arresting officer was acting on a DUI tip called in by my sister in law as a payback, the ISP officer was her friend, etc. I had no alcohol or drugs in my system, I was tested, the entire bust was a fraud, but it cost me a fortune for my lawyer and my name was published locally. The arresting officer perjured herself giving sworn testimony; and the arrest tape was edited and redubbed before my lawyer received a copy.The whole game is rigged by the cops, of course Darling flunked the field sobriety tests; I did too; while stone sober while en route to Ft. Lewis with my daughter to be married. They had me blow the breathalyzer over and over because it read 0.000.The backup ISP cop in my case, told my daughter that he didn't know why Greear was arresting me, it was 7:30 AM, I wasn't intoxicated. What it was, in my case and in the case of Manor and Darling, is a case of CYA by the cops. In my case the ISP failed to show up for the trial I demanded; every time I read of this case I read that Darling was arrested for DUI but not charged, its CYA all over again.

Doesn't it occur to those quoting the Bible on homosexuality that the rules and penalties were for the Israelites of thirty-odd centuries ago; and do not apply to anyone literally in this century or this country. As for gay marriage, I think civil unions offer the same rights to the couples involved as in marriage; but if gay marriage becomes the law of the land[or of my state, Idaho] I will lose no sleep over it; even in my town there are gay couples, more than I probably know.They are my neighbors and friends; if the people of the land OK it, it won't impact my life negatively.

To those who so passionately hate Fox: Don't watch it; I have pretty good IQ, and I find it to be the most even-handed news network on television. If I want to hear biased reporting, I turn on NBC or MSNBC or the others of the same obvious left leaning idealogies. Garafolo's wackjob rant is but one example. Get a life, Fox-haters, watch the networks that tickle your happybones!! I'll be watching Fox and CNN.

Hey there LasVegas2009, do you pluck your numbers out of where your head seems to be? The population of the USA of 300 million[approximately] includes the illegals and the homeless; I believe your claimed numbers are as bogus as your hairpiece; even so, even if they were all correct, the total still comes up well short of your ignorant claims. I passed my Math class at Western High School some years back, I bet you are still studying hard so as to retake your GED. Righto? You know I'm right, don't you?

Hey there, LasVegas2009! There are only about 300 million people in the USA, are you making the claim that 50 million yet unborn Americans were spied upon? You are entitled to your opinions, but get your numbers right, or you just sound ignorant compounded by your underlying stupidity.

My own sister hooks-I think lately out off Tonopah Highway, shes been at it for years. I live in Idaho,when I come to Vegas, if I'm lucky, she's in the jail tower for drugs, hooking, etc.She usually gets religion if she's in for more than a month, so that our mother will keep her account full of money. She is 38, lived in Vegas her whole life and has never had a real job;she has hobbled my parents in their retirement with her behavior and offspring, spawned by her evil pusher-pimp boyfriends. Her lifestyle has been entirely of her own choice; 8 years ago her and hubby #4 and her two small boys moved up to Caldwell[near Boise] for a 'fresh start'. Within six months she had passed so many bad checks[its easy to do up here, the people are trusting] that she was given a two year sentence in the graybar motel. She was paroled after about 14 months, providing she go back to Vegas.I wish the Metro Cops would bag her pimp that keeps getting her out of jail. Her two sons I fear are going to be sociopaths, they are so badly damaged by her I have not seen any sign of normal consciences in these poor unfortunate kids. In my mind, she and her pimp/pusher are evil.Like slumpdog says,my nephews potential as whole people has been wasted.

I grew up in Vegas and my folks still live there, although I left over thirty years ago; I come back every year or so. Fully five years ago I was agog at the runaway house prices, even in 2004: my sister had bought a nice house off Torrey Pines and Tropicana in 2001 for about 175K, had refinanced and extracted 50K only 18 months later, then sold the house in early 2004 for 325K, making another 50K easily, which was, to my N. Idaho mind, just insane. My brother[who lives in NM] and I thought the real estate bubble was insane and inevitible to burst in catastrophic fashion. To me, the most astonishing thing is that it took so long. Yes, even in N. Idaho, there was a bubble in real estate, which has burst. Read of the Tamarack Resort disaster down by McCall, Id; still overall in Idaho, the mining and logging are worst hit by the bubble-burst, not housing. My home maybe went up 20% in value and probably has lost the same in the past year; but we are talking of housing in the 100-150K range.Pdunham5 sounds like his dad was giving good advice. I do not really blame the people buying those houses in Vegas, I blame the banks or whoever OK'd such idiotic loans, ARM's and all. It was obvious to some of us five years ago that the boom was a house of cards.

Cops are no more honest, at the very least, than the average citizen here or anywhere; so it is not surprising that they would steal from anyone they find with that kind of cash. I have been robbed by cops myself, nothing like this, of course, but it was shocking [the first time] to see cops use their badges as tickets to steal from me, legal prescription narcotics, and then turn around and charge me with illegal possession of narcotics when they were in my prescription bottle. I had to engage a lawyer and all charges were dismissed eventually, but when my prescription bottle was finally returned it had only two Tylenol -4s left, when the cop arrested me, it was full. Cops are thieves in uniform.
