@mattyglesias I was a History major in the early 1990s. Wars were always the major mileposts in the absolute majority of classes. It was later in life that I realized that so many significant events about the formation of the United States that occurred from after 1865 to 1915, are not valued.

@ConLawWarrior @CBHessick Recently a panel of judges (4/6 are former prosecutors) amended Colorado's decades old "reasonable doubt" jury instruction.

13. If you are cynical, like I am, this change was not meant to address any problem with the decades old original instruction. Instead, it as an expression of both prosecutors/some judges distaste for constitutional requirements . . .
