| A judge in Oklahoma refused to accept a guilty plea from a man accused of beheading a co-worker at a food processing plant in 2014. Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone, ...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ... County District Judge Lori Walkley ruled Wednesday that she wouldn't accept the plea from Alton Nolen, who has said he wants the death penalty for the attack at Vaughan Foods in Moore. Walkley said Nolen was not mentally competent to make the plea and ordered another mental evaluation. Nolen entered the guilty plea to a first-degree murder charge in the beheading of 54-year-old Colleen Hufford shortly after he was suspended from the company for making racial remarks. District Attorney Greg Mashburn told Oklahoma City television station KFOR that he believes Nolen is mentally competent and he hopes the delay won't be lengthy. |

| #9 The reason that memorizing the Koran is a big deal is because most Muslims have not done so. And given that all it takes to convert to Islam is to repeat the key statement a few times in front of witnesses, it's not surprising that any given Muslim lacks a scholar's knowledge of the faith. |

| #8 "...said comments made by Nolen are outside of the "norm for Islam." Wahah. I guess the professor has not read the Koran and the long history of Islam. |

| #7 Throughout this case’s proceedings, Nolen’s professed adherence to Islam have come up numerous times. However, Robert Hunt, a professor at Perkins School of Theology at SMU, said comments Nolen made are outside of the “norm” for Islam. “Based on court transcripts, Nolen doesn’t show that he understands crime, sin and punishment in the Quran,” Hunt said. “Throughout the proceedings, he has never offered a justification for what he did, which is not something Muslims teach.” -Norman Transcript, Aug.13 |

| #5 The insanity plea existed before 'modern' psychiatry. The juries could look and see something wasn't right. It took lawyers (and those in robes) to make stuff up to justify why families and the people couldn't seek justice. |
