-- a law protects hearing person after killing deaf
Two years ago, a hearing person shot and killed a
deaf person during an attempt theft of personal
property. The hearing person thought the deaf person
was reaching out for his gun. The family of the deaf
person filed a civil law suit. Yesterday, this case
was thrown out - becuase of Florida's Stand Your
Ground law. Thrown out two years ago were
criminal charges.
-- Louisiana says Commission for the Deaf spends too much money
Inspector General Stephen Street said that there was
was unnecessary spending on contractors and equipment
by the Commission for the Deaf. Something to do with
contractors being paid for using a five-cent tax on
telephone lines by customers. It also said that
Gov. Bobby Jindal and the commission both had a
clash two years ago. Confusing? Yes.
