The murder trial of Ronald Smith got well under way this morning, with both sides giving their opening arguments and the state calling the first of a long list of witnesses.
Jurors were instructed not to read this week's Herald-Gazette until the trial is over.
Ronald Eugene Smith in court Monday.
No good could come from giving these witnessess names out to the public like that. That's how people end up in witness protection!
Nowhere to Hide Public Records.
That's why they call it PUBLIC.
Public means out in the open, Tranparant.
For all to see. Not private. Open record.
Not behind closed doors, but out in the light.
Just like your property deeds, property tax records, address, arrest record, criminal record, prison record, driving record, birth, death, forclosure, bankruptcy, etc...
I once got drunk in a bar and was thrown out of the bar into public.
And there I was , public drunk.
