The missionary soon rectified the situation by baptizing and confirming everyone. He also married every couple that walked by and desired such. Later, the tribal chief told the missionary that the tribe had never had so much fun. The missionary asked the chief which part they enjoyed the most. "The marriage stuff," the chief said, smiling. "We all got new wives, and all without the oldfashioned and traditional hassles with divorce lawyers and courts and custody battles and waiting periods!" ___________________________________________________ If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ I talked with a homeless man this morning and asked him how he ended up this way.

Bryan Patrick Miller was found guilty on all counts, including: Guilty of first-degree murder Guilty of two counts first-degree murder Guilty on two kidnapping charges Several key witnesses and loved ones took the stand in the trial against Bryan Patrick Miller. The trial began on Oct. 3, years after DNA findings linked Miller to the deaths of 22-year-old Angela Brosso in November 1992 and 17-year-old Melanie Bernas in September 1993. Below are the trial's developments as the judge and jury decided Miller's fate following his choice to waive a trial by jury. About a thousand pieces of evidence collected from the crime scenes remained in bags and boxes for years. With new genetic technology and familial genealogy, detectives finally matched the unknown DNA samples they recovered from both cases. Bloodied and torn clothing, underwear, the victims bodies provided detectives with a then-unknown DNA sample of an unknown male. Police say an anonymous tipster told them about Miller in the 90s, but he wasnt considered a strong lead back then. In 2015 as police narrowed in on Miller, they obtained his DNA sample from a mug that he drank out of while at a restaurant. Undercover officers posed as security guards that wanted to offer Miller a job. They met him at a restaurant, then got his saliva from a mug, which he drank from, which he left on the table. "That was the first case solved ever using forensic genetic genealogy in 2015. That identified Bryan Patrick Miller as the suspect in that case," says Colleen Fitzpatrick, a familial genealogist. Bryan Patrick Miller has been sentenced to death in the murders of Angela Brosso and Melanie Bernas, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Suzanne Cohen announced. Miller never denied that he was the one who brutally murdered the young women in the early 1990s. He tried to argue he was not guilty by reason of insanity. Ultimately the judge ruled that he knew what he was doing, and that he deserves the ultimate punishment. "There is no question that what the defendant did deserves the death penalty," said Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Suzanne Cohen. "The question the court must answer is if the totality of the mitigation is sufficiently substantial to call for leniency. The answer is no." Although he was denied mercy, Miller remained grateful to the judge. "I guess thanks for listening to everything we said, giving us the opportunity to try and convince you otherwise," Miller remarked in court. Miller now joins more than 100 other inmates on Arizonas death row. Right now, executions are on hold until the Department of Corrections completes a review. The pause and review were ordered by Governor Katie Hobbs earlier this year. She apparently is still worried about the election "irregularities". ___________________________________________________ Good Morning, Helmut-End-Of-List!

I opened the door and there stood a young lady, a Jehovah's Witness, soaking wet. I felt sorry for her and invited her in the house for a cup of coffee and to dry off a little. As we were drinking our coffee, I asked what her 'happy message' was. I thought we might discuss some minor or major differences of believes or interpretation, but, she stuttered and said: ..."I'm not sure....I never got this far before...!" __________________________________________________ Two golden-agers were discussing their husbands over lunch. "I do wish that my John would stop biting his nails. He makes me terribly nervous." My Fred used to do the same thing," the other woman replied. "But I broke him of the habit." "Really, how?" asked the first woman. "Easy, I hid his teeth." ___________________________________________________ a href="http://webby.com/humor/i/Bonsai2021-L.jpg"> Bonsai ___________________________________________________ A defendant was asked if he wanted a bench trial or a jury trial.
