Part 1 - Prologue
"This is Bettina Wurtzburg, KXTC Channel Two News!" shouted the lovely redheaded reporterette on Wednesday, September 28th, at 7:00am, from in front of the Courthouse. "Channel Two News has learned that the 'State Right To Life Committee' has filed an emergency appeal of the ruling of Judge Rodney K. Watts that the parents of the young man Jeremy Moreland had the right to turn off their son's respirator, allowing him to die. Jeremy has been determined to be brain dead, but the 'State Right To Life Committee' believes turning off the medical devices is murder."
"Other pro-life groups have rallied in support of the State Right to Life Committee, while many pro-choice groups are attacking the pro-lifers for denying the family their rightful choice regarding their son's condition." Bettina continued. "The family has issued a statement condemning the State Right to Life Committee for interfering in personal life decisions."
"Meanwhile, the State Right to Life Committee has condemned Governor Val Jared for not joining their side of the debate, and have attacked Governor Jared for what they say is his weak to non-existent support of the pro-life movement. Governor Jared has said it is a matter for the family and the Courts to decide. His opponent, SBI Director Jack Lewis, says that Jared is attempting to placate both sides of the issue, and looks weak and indecisive in the process."
"In the local District Attorney race, challenger Jenna Stiles condemned the State Right To Life Committee as well as all the pro-life groups for blatantly interfering with the family's right to choose. This issue and her strident support of the family has caused her flagging campaign to gain new life. District Attorney Krasney also says he supports the family in this case, as Jeremy has no hope of recovery."
"This is getting ugly." said Cindy, as she and I watched in my office. We had avoided the MCD coffee klatch, as there was a lot of tension in that room over this case, particularly between the fundamentalist Christian Joanne Warner and the rather liberal Theo Washington.
"Yeah, and Jared is not handling it well, at all." I said.
"Think this is aimed at him?" Cindy asked.
"Oh, you betcha." I said. "If I were the paranoid type, I'd say this was a carefully planned, meticulously orchestrated, and brutally executed plan by Democrats and the Media to humiliate Governor Jared, force him to come out strongly pro-life, and therefore hurt him in the General Election. If he doesn't come out strongly pro-life, the evangelical Republicans will desert him in droves, and again he'll be crushed in the General Election."
"Glad you're not the paranoid type." said Cindy. "My question would be how they could possibly have actually caused this to happen by plan."
"Oh, they always have a plan ready, then something happens and they pounce." I said. "Sort of like that guy in a Southern State that used a gun to defend his life, and the anti-gun-rights people went after him, using his case to not only intimidate gun owners, but to challenge the law. He was acquitted, though, which shredded their plans. The Media howled for days... at the Jury. But it was obvious that the Government and the Media had a plan ready, pounced when the right case came along, and whined like crybabies when they lost."
"And this case," I said, "is even worse. We can't do an autopsy until Jeremy is actually dead, but I really wonder about some things."
"Your mother wonders even harder than you do." said Cindy.

Meanwhile, Bettina went to Sports, bringing in Nick Eastwood:
"Thank you Bettina!" Nick said, as he stood at County High School Stadium. "Friday night is going to be huge in this County, as the undefeated Kings of Booker T. Washington High in the southern part of the County come to County High here on the north side to take on the undefeated Falcons! Benny Hill, the Kings quarterback, is the real deal, and has scholarship offers from several schools in the Conference. He is expected to make life miserable for the Falcons defense..."
"Precinct Captain Briscoe is overwhelmed by the security requirements." I said. "I've had to call the State Patrol and the Sheriff to help with security and traffic control, and Homeland Security is going to send in some extra people. I've already told the SBI to keep their noses out of my County, as well."
Cindy said "Briscoe not getting Boğazköy Escort (https://www.pompaci.net/istanbul/bogazkoy) it done?"
"I think he's trying, but Briggs in Precinct 1 doesn't try hard to help." I replied. "Thompson in Precinct 2 has worked with Briscoe, but he worries about 'flash mobs' celebrating a little too hard if the Kings win. The Black Community really sees this game as Black vs. White, not Black
