Today, the search begins for six jurors to decide whether Max Horn Jr. shot a fellow Chasco Fiesta reveler two years ago in cold blood or in self-defense. The 48-year-old Holiday man could go to prison for life if convicted of the second-degree murder charge he faces. Conviction on a lesser charge of manslaughter could put him away for 15 years. ...more

I just read the comments on the Sebring Tea Party by Roger McAllister, and I disagree with his premise that Tea Party folks are potential criminals. I have also noticed that nobody except Mr. McAllister stated that they were "disruptive."
