Somewhat United we stand - Boston Globe

Somewhat United we stand - &American Revolutionsomewhat United, we standStudy pierces the myth of the Foundersâ?? unanimity, detailing the strange bedfellows that have forged the IndependenceJuly 03, 2011|By Michael Washburn, Globe CorrespondentShareE-mailPrint (anne latini/globe staff)

STATEMENT: The tumultuous nine weeks when America became independent, may 1 to July 4, 1776
By William Hogeland
Simon and Schuster, 288 pp., $26

If you look beyond the charred burgers and hot beer, itâ??s easy to see that, as all holidays, day of independence isnâ??t so a moment of such national remembrance that it is a demonstration of historical amnesia. Yes, we all have an understanding of the secondary school of the American Revolution with its great men in perilous times. Thereâ??s a happy, gap hypothesis that the Declaration of independence has also been a statement unanimously - that the settlers is perfect in their desire to challenge Britain and in the form of Government, they have sought to implement.

However, these tidy narratives are lazy or effective propaganda fiction field, and the classic history of the decision to declare independence is a little of both. As in â??Declaration of William Hogeland writes: The nine tumultuous weeks when America became independent, â??â?? the â??entered the history of the United States in confusion about the nature and purpose of independence. â??â?? Weâ??re, even on the date still confused. The nation officially broke ties from Britain on July 2 after the ratification of the Lee resolution. the Declaration, a document with no legal authority, has agreed to two days later as a letter of explanation to the world. fixed â??Declarationâ??â?? this often neglected, naked persistent confusion to reveal the ad hoc alliances almost forgotten among the groups which promoted the radically divergent conceptions of America.

In fact, during the first year of the conflict, a large part of the colonial population hopes for reconciliation with Great Britain. Until May 1776, it appeared that they would prevail. Fierce anti-Royalists Samuel and John Adams, and later Ben Franklin, among the other notable founders, took the lead in the fight for independence, and when they are defeated electorally, they have taken to the secret of the manoeuvres. â??nine weeks, â??â?? Hogeland writes, â??after voters defeated American independence, in the closest thing to a referendum on the issue the country ever had, America declared independence. â??â??

Mother accused in the death of the child crying closing arguments - Boston Globe

ORLANDO - Casey Anthony briefly broken crying yesterday as prosecutors told jurors in closing arguments that she has murdered her 2 daughter Caylee because the child was prevented from having a relationship with a sponsor of the club.

Attorney Jeff Ashton said anthony wanted a relationship with her boyfriend, to go out with friends and to live the carefree life that she had prior to the birth of the Caylee.

Ashton "" something had to be sacrificed, that something was the life she wanted or life thrust on it, "said during his 90-minute hearing." "She chooses to sacrifice his child. »

Prosecutors argue that caylee was suffocated with duct tape by a mother who manufactured and developed lies to mislead investigators and her parents. Defense attorneys countered that the toddler accidentally drowned in the family pool, and that his mother actually hiding emotional distress caused by the allegation of sexual abuse of his father. His father denied the accusation.

Judge Belvin Perry decided yesterday morning that no there is no evidence d'une such charge and that the defence could not make reference to it dans closing arguments. But Perry indicated the defence could again be drowning because theory "is a reasonable inference can be drawn" to suggest. "

Jose Baez defence counsel began his closing argument by telling the jury that they have more questions than answers, including the largest: how Caylee is dead? Counsel or defence provided firm evidence of how she died.

"It can never be proved,", he said. " He said that alone should give them all reasonable doubt that Anthony killed his daughter.

He said prosecutors is so low that they tried to portray Anthony as a promiscuous liar and influence the jury "rather that give the standard which is granted to every citizen in our country." "

Baez said forensic evidence of prosecutors are based on a "fantasy". " He said analysis the continuation of the air in the trunk of the car of Anthony, which would have shown consistent with decomposition air molecules, could not be duplicated. He said that no one could prove to be a spot found in the trunk was caused by the body of the Caylee decomposing it.

And witnesses showed maggots were found in the trunk comes from a garbage bag that are there, he said.

"They throw enough against the wall and see what that sticks," Baez said. "This is what they are doing... until the cause of death. »

Earlier in the proceedings of Ashton, Anthony appears especially pontificating to subject the first 45 minutes, but then she closed eyes and rested his Chin on his hand. She began to cry when Ashton said that the history which are drowned Caylee was also false.

Ashton said death of Caylee was not an accident because three pieces of tape were placed on his face - on the mouth, one on the nose and on those to be "comprehensive". "

Jury begins deliberation today, the judge said. Anthony could face a death sentence as possible or in perpetuity if recognized guilty of first degree murder.

Resolution on the defence urged Bulger - Boston Globe

Resolution on the defence urged Bulger - & article.boston.com Home Globe News your Business City Sports Lifestyle A & E things of today trip jobs cars real estate Local National World Politics Business Education Health Science Green records obituary reports special traffic Weather Lottery home/COLLECTIONSResolution on Bulger defence urgedJune 27, 2011|By Jonathan Saltzman, Globe StaffShareE-mailPrint

A federal judge ordered James "Whitey"Bulger temporary lawyer and federal prosecutors yesterday to try to reach an agreement on whether if the pattern of the notorious crowd has right to a public defender."

We the District Court Chief Judge Mark l. Wolf wants Peter b. Krupp, Boston lawyer, who represented Bulger at his initial appearance Friday, and prosecutors of US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz to report on the results of their discussions at the end of the day.

The two parties should also notes and the affidavits concerning finance from Bulger.

Wolf provides a hearing Wednesday on the appointment of counsel for the Bulger.

"This case has been pending for more than 16 years," Wolf writes. "It is important that the question of the admissibility of the Bulger for the appointment of counsel to decide more quickly as possible to allow the case proceed. »

Wolf played a crucial role in the middle of the 1990s, by exposing the corrupt managers Bulger and the FBI, relationship that serves as indicator and closed the eyes of his crimes. Although the two magistrate judges presided Friday initial appearance of the Bulger in the District Court, Wolf said that he intends to manage procedures.

Krupp told the two judges to magistrate that Bulger is indigent and should have a public defender appointed to handle her case.

Assistant US Attorney Brian t. Kelly are jokes at the suggestion, saying that the authorities found more than $800,000 in the apartment of the Bulger in Santa Monica, California, and probably has access to the other species. (Federal prosecutors intend to seek the confiscation of money).

Kelly also said that Bulger might be able to get money for his defense of his brother, former President of the Senate William M. Bulger.

Last night, Krupp said that rights of his client are at stake.

"In this country, there is a constitutional right to the appointment of a lawyer, and a conviction secured without counsel is valid, structurally flawed belief that is almost universally reversed," said Krupp. ".

Krupp leads the Council of the Criminal Justice Act in Massachusetts, which provides private practice lawyers serving public defenders for the indigent defendants in federal courts.

In its order yesterday, Wolf noted that he managed a similar question concerning the appointment of public defenders for that former of the Bulger, Francis Salemme, Stephen Flemmi and Robert DeLuca years. They, too, they could not afford private practice lawyers and were appointed public defenders.

"" Doubts about the eligibility of the defendant must be resolved in its favour, "Wolf writes." "If later it is established that the defendant is financially able to counsel, it can be ordered to reimburse all or part of the costs of its representation. »

The Bulger's longtime companion, Catherine Greig, who was accused of harboring a fugitive, also requested a public defender.

That the material is also should be addressed to the Court this week.
