Revenge And Forgiveness

Fake Tracking Dog Sends Man To Prison Link

So long story short this supposed miracle dog tracks scents after a hurricane goes through, scents that were there before the hurricane. I've seen what a hurricane does, there were no snakes and not many insects for a couple years after, much less scent? Gimme a break! This guy is in prison for 26 years for a crime he didn't commit!

What is so horrible about the whole thing is the dog and his handler were found to be fakes twenty years before this guy got out of prison, he spent 20 years in prison because someone forgot to maybe check up on the cases this "star" witness testified against. I think the state of Florida should be held accountable and establish some sort of program so this can't happen again even though they are in financial straits like the rest of us, perhaps they could fire a few of the prosecutors who used the fake tracking dog and use that money?

I don't know whether this man is suing anyone or not, the article doesn't say. I'm not a sue-happy person @ all but I think he has grounds against someone?

So in cases that aren't as extreme as this in your own lives are you forgivers or grudge holders. Do you burst into flaming rage or simmer till it's like a volcano erupting? I must confess my husband is a forgiver with flaming rage, I'm a grudge holder that erupts. I don't get mad often but when I do it's not pretty and people will know about it. Like my step-son said, "Dad has a temper and you don't want to make him mad, but if you make TC mad, WATCH OUT."

So what do you think?

  1. I'm the type that says I'm sorry, even when I think you're wrong. It's not worth it... unless it's Hubby!

  2. I'm forgiving up to a point but it's best for someone to not try and press their luck with me. I do have a temper.
