    In Canada, that has happened to young white guys as well (David Milgaard, James Driskell, Guy-Paul Morin). One good reason not to have a death penalty is that it’s hard to undo the execution.

    The onus is on the prosecution to prove that the accused is guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt”. If the prosecution is unable to do that, the accused cannot be convicted.

That causes all sorts of challenges when you try to work on your family tree if you have English ancestors (I don’t but my wife does).

    My guess is that people who could afford cars had a shed where they stored their carriage. Later on, open cars came with a cover, like current convertibles. A pain to put up no doubt (speaking from a former MG owner).
