Jury Acquits Citizens of Illegally Filming Police

sexybomber writes "The Springfield (MA) Republican reports two men accused of illegally filming the process as they bailed friends out of jail that last summer, were acquitted of all charges Tuesday. Pete Eyre and Adam Mueller initially were granted permission to film the bail process, but later were forbidden by jail officials from recording the procedure. When they continued to digitally recording their encounter with jail officials, they were arrested by police. Eyre and Mueller testified that they never attempted to hide the fact that they were recording at the jail. Not only did they ask permission to film the bail-out process — which initially was granted — but their recording devices were 'out in the open,' Eyre said. The Jury found the defendants not guilty of three criminal counts: Each was acquitted of unlawful wiretapping, while Mueller also was acquitted of a charge of resisting arrest."

Oh, now, just because there is absolutely no contemporaneous evidence for Jesus doesn't prove he didn't exist. He was probably just such a lousy carpenter that he had to turn to astrology/storytelling to get enough food to eat. Unfortunately, that annoyed the Romans.

Or, perhaps this. :^)

Actually, there is plenty of evidence that Jesus existed,

No, actually, there isnt. Feel free to prove me wrong, if you have 'plenty' of evidence it shouldnt be hard to cite some. It needs to be contemperaneous (which rules out the Old Testament and the Church Fathers, all of whom were at the very least many decades after the time) and we need someone that actually fits that new testament story in whole, not just in parts (Yeshua Ben Pantera for instance is a partial fit but clearly not a full one.)
