The bar on double jeopardy means you only stand trial once for your crimes. A prosecutor cannot appeal an acquittal. That's why Knox won't be deported.

Answer: It was an inside job.

When is my fantasy football league going to finally pay me a living wage?

Then they should get jobs that have the prospect of paying more than around $2000 a year. It is clear that the money is not the main draw to this job. There is nothing wrong with someone choosing a job for reasons other than money.

Yes; that is the impression the article gives.

I'm beginning to question the integrity of this whole exercise.

The research doesn't lie: short men have it objectively worse than tall men.

It is so far down the list of things people should care about that it is comical. I am simply pointing out that this article does not represent some striking…
