>>What a good thing you deleted the unkind and sarcastic comment you made about his heart problems in an earlier post then, Airbubba?<<

Please refresh my memory.

The defense lawyer was trying to emphasize what poor heath the prisoner was in order to obtain bail. I do find it a little ironic to claim that the man is too sick to be in jail but well enough to command a 747 across the Atlantic. I think some others here (mere pilots, not lawyers) find that ironic as well. But hey, it worked, I suppose.

Since you seem to be unfamiliar with mug shots, take a look here for some classics:

Most documents concerning court proceedings and arrests are publicly available in the U.S. unless sealed by a judge.

Surely you must realize that the legal system in different in each country?

The accused pilot is an American facing trial in an American court. Are you already implying that he is being treated unfairly?
