Dragon Ball Z Uncensored

[8 bit orgy]

Soldier of Fortune Magazine, Inc., and its parent, Omega
Group, Ltd., (hereinafter collectively referred to as "SOF") appeal
a $4,375,000 jury verdict against them in a consolidated tort
action brought by Michael and Ian Braun, the sons of a murder vic-
tim. The jury found that SOF acted with negligence and malice in
publishing a personal service advertisement through which
plaintiffs' father's business partner hired an assassin to kill
him. We affirm the judgment entered on the jury's verdict.

I. FACTS

In January 1985, Michael Savage submitted a personal service
advertisement to SOF. After several conversations between Savage
and SOF's advertising manager, Joan Steel, the following
advertisement ran in the June 1985 through March 1986 issues of
SOF:

GUN FOR HIRE: 37 year old professional mercenary desires jobs.
Vietnam Veteran. Discrete [sic] and very private. Body
guard, courier, and other special skills. All jobs
considered. Phone (615) 436-9785 (days) or (615) 436-4335
(nights), or write: Rt. 2, Box 682 Village Loop Road,
Gatlinburg, TN 37738.

Savage testified that, when he placed the ad, he had no
intention of obtaining anything but legitimate jobs. Nonetheless,
Savage stated that the overwhelming majority of the 30 to 40 phone
calls a week he received in response to his ad sought his
participation in criminal activity such as murder, assault, and
kidnapping. The ad also generated at least one legitimate job as
a bodyguard, which Savage accepted.

In late 1984 or early 1985, Bruce Gastwirth began seeking to
murder his business partner, Richard Braun. Gastwirth enlisted the
aid of another business associate, John Horton Moore, and together
they arranged for at least three attempts on Braun's life, all of
which were unsuccessful. Responding to Savage's SOF ad, Gastwirth
and Moore contacted him in August 1985 to discuss plans to murder
Braun.

On August 26, 1985, Savage, Moore, and another individual,
Sean Trevor Doutre, went to Braun's suburban Atlanta home. As
Braun and his sixteen year-old son Michael were driving down the
driveway, Doutre stepped in front of Braun's car and fired several
shots into the car with a MAC 11 automatic pistol. The shots hit
Michael in the thigh and wounded Braun as well. Braun managed to
roll out of the car, but Doutre, walked over to Braun and killed
him by firing two more shots into the back of his head as Braun lay
on the ground.


So what should the ruling be?

I agree with the decision. Also, the state should be sued for putting up telephone poles on which people advertise things that end up resulting in a crime.

Gimp Mask, Theldorrin, how many pieces should the editors be chopped into?

Capital punishment is usually a deed worse than the crime that the condemned offender commited.

[Theldorrin]

You're the one that supports capital punishment, Pork PIe.
