>> wtxmommie: “Oh boy...here I go...I agree that he deserves a fair trial, because that is what makes this America. I agree that a jury of his peers should find him guilty of this massacre. But I think I must be reading something wrong...did I see that his attorneys have filed paperwork to move the trial because of the publicity that the fundraisers and bumperstickers have generated??? If he had not MURDERED our officers, there would be NO BUMPERSTICKERS. NO FUNDRAISERS to help the families not only bury these men, but to help compensate for the loss of the wageearner in the households. Come on, give me a break. Regardless of where he stands trial, the fact remains that he is a copkiller. To Jones’ parents: Check with the office of the Attorney General. There is a victims’ compensation program that assists with travel expenses for attending trials. My heart goes out to you that you will have to travel to see justice served. White needs to just plead guilty, there is no way out of what he’s done. Save the county money on a trial and don’t make the families sit through testimony.”
