A long-time federal judge has been appointed to handle Detroit's bankruptcy
amid a court ruling Friday that states the filing violates the states
constitution and must be withdrawn.The judge, Steven Rhodes, has worked
in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for nearly 30 years. He was appointed Friday
by Alice Batchelder, chief judge at the federal appeals court that covers
Michigan.Ingham County Judge Rosemarie Aquilina ruled Friday that Gov. Rick
Snyder and Detroit Emergency Manger Kevyn Orr overstepped their authority
and violated state law by proceeding with the bankruptcy filing because
they knew the outcome could affect benefits to thousands of Detroit residents.I
have some very serious concerns because there was this rush to bankruptcy
court that didnt have to occur and shouldnt have occurred, Aquilina said,
in a spate of orders arising from three separate lawsuits.Orr, who filed
the bankruptcy document Thursday, has yet to respond the judges ruling,
and there is no indication so far that city officials plan to
take any action in response to the ruling.Aquilina also said Michigans constitution
prohibits actions that will lessen the pension benefits of public employees,
including those in the city of Detroit.Plaintiffs shouldnt have been blindsided,
and this process shouldnt have been ignored, Aquilina said.Lawyers representing
pensioners and two city pension funds got an emergency hearing with Aquilina
on Thursday at which she said she planned to

Martin-George Zimmerman murder. The lack of justice for a dead teenager
and the Martin family is sad, it is tragic.Yes, the prosecution failed,
in my opinion, to make the case beyond reasonable doubt that Zimmerman
acted with the malice necessary for a conviction on second-degree murder.Yes,
the jury failed to see the need for justice for all.And, yes,
the media failed to be fair.These failures began before the trial when
the special prosecutor in the case, Florida State Attorney Angela Corey,
did not convene a grand jury. After the local police failed to
arrest or charge Zimmerman the prosecutors were in a rush to satisfy
racial activists, the media and political pressure for immediate action.That
was a big mistake. A grand jury might have told them they
did not have evidence to support a charge of second-degree murder. And
a grand jury might have opened the door to prosecutors considering a
range of lesser charges for Zimmerman -- from manslaughter to assault and
weapons violations.With those charges a jury, feeling confined by the technical
limits of the law, could still have produced some justice for murder
victim and his family.But the prosecutions missteps left this jury unable
to get beyond the specifics of the second-degree murder charge.The president
of the American Society of Trial Consultants told the Washington Post this
week that since the beginning of our nation Americans ha
