The Editor's Notepod, Mon., Jan 25., 2010

Cheshire: for someone to consider how he or she would manage if selected as a juror in any case is a good exercise; the Petit murder cases offer several specific issues to contemplate: How impartial could one be? Is it good to have only unaware persons on a jury? Should one have an opinion on the death penalty? It's a very tough job.

Meriden: the break-in and theft at the Meriden Humane Society is deplorable. This sort of incident may be the downside of having a spot, like the hospital's medical center, so near the highway, but what sort of a person would steal from the charity box at a shelter? The same sort, probably, who would rob the poor box in a church.
