	The Roots of Thomas Paine's Radicalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		On Sunday, a day of enforced godliness, the Lord Chief Justice walked a private path to St. Peter's Church, accompanied by the High Sheriff, the Mayor, and "fl-gowned members of the Thetford Corporation." There, they heard somber sermons on the wrath of God and the importance of obeying His King's laws.
		In the year of Paine's birth — 1737 — one man "confessed" to stealing twenty shillings from a tavern; another man was accused of stealing a bushel of wheat "and robbing a woman on the King's Highway." A third victim was convicted of purchasing a stolen horse and stealing a parcel of tea.
		For the first 19 years of his life, Paine witnessed this parody of justice each spring, and watched from his cottage as convicted beggars were marched with solemn hypocrisy to their deaths.

		Because the same entity--the Royal College--both suffered the wrong and collected the fine, Coke argued, the College had acted as both a party and a judge in the dispute.
		[I]n many cases the common law will controul acts of Parliament and sometimes adjudge them to be utterly void: for when an Act of Parliament is against common right or reason, or repugnant, or impossible to be performed, the common law will controul it and adjudge such Act to be void.

		One guideline that many local police chiefs disagreed with is the one that says detectives should avoid talking to witnesses about a suspect until after they've documented how confident the witness is in choosing a photo or identifying someone in a live lineup.
		As Waynesburg chief Hawfield's reaction shows, one of the most controversial suggestions involves putting a person with no knowledge of the investigation in charge of photo lineups to avoid any suggestions to the witness on who to pick.
		Police departments should take the initiative to implement the guidelines before a savvy defense attorney uses them to dismantle one of their cases, he said, or someone who was wrongfully convicted uses the guidelines to sue their department.
