It is amazing that you can have a hand in killing two people and serve such a short time in prison.

Good for the one child of hers that doesn't support her getting out of prison.

On Parole for Lorna Anderson Moore

I'm also a little confused why there doesn't seem to be more of an outpouring of support to find this man. Do people think he's on the run or what is the deal? Are there fliers around town? Has anyone set up a stand for volunteer searchers? I think the previous poster was right on the money in saying that if this were a woman it would be a statewide or perhaps nationwide story.

I would like to know why there are differing dates of death. I heard that Omar died on Friday September 11th. It has been reported that he died Sunday night.

So I guess I'm ok with the sentence. I think the humiliation should be enough. I'm happy as long as he can never become a school teacher and has to register as a sex offender. He wasted what could have been a great career.

I'm not sure when it will be reported. Maybe tomorrow.

This young man died this morning. It is time to show compassion for the family. This isn't about a silly fight anymore. It is now a murder.

I just wanted to say that the new newspaper layout looks great!!! It's much easier to handle. Good job.

I went there in June. It was about 95 degrees outside and maybe 98 degrees inside because the air conditioner was broken. I can see how something would spoil quickly if left out in that heat.
The heat wasn't our biggest problem. It was very busy and we were seated at a booth in the front. They seated a large party of about seven or eight people right by us and had to arrange the table so I was sitting about a foot away from the other table. Nothing is more appetizing than having a person rub their frontside or backside against the table so they can squeeze through. It was like trying to get to a middle seat in a crowded row at the movie theater.
We took our food to go.

So Darin could be facing some serious time, at least if he were in Alabama. I recently read an article on cnn where a female teacher in Alabama is serving a ten-year-sentence for attempting to solicit a 14 year old via instant messaging and texting. My favorite part of that story is that even though she has been fired from the school and is currently incarcerated, the school is having to pay her while she appeals her sentence. Paying a convicted sex predator and someone to replace her has surely blown that school's budget!

On Student teacher faces charges

Good catch rcakmon! I was thinking the same thing. I also enjoyed the first sentence:

Linda Drake, journalism and Spanish at Chase County High School, walked into the school’s auditorium Friday morning prepared to salute students for academic achievements.

Linda Drake has been a tremendous asset to the journalism and Spanish departments at Chase County High School, but I think she is the teacher, not the entire department.
