We may never know Anthony Warner s motivation for the Nashville bombing James A. Gagliano
In the 2003 detective novel
The Murder Room, English crime writer P.D. James allowed that “all the motives for murder are covered by four Ls: Love, Lust, Lucre, and Loathing.” James accurately assessed motivations that typically accompany a homicide. And any consumer of police dramas on television knows that the discovery of a murder weapon combined with a plausible motive are typically essential elements in proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Yet, motive can be difficult to discern in certain crimes, particularly when the suspect takes his or her own life or is killed by police during an attempted apprehension. With 21st-century forensic science so effective and television dramas such as CSI: [fill in city here] so neatly effective in solving crime mysteries in one concisely packaged, revelatory hour, the public demand for immediate answers is satiated via celluloid simpl

The National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) thanked President Trump this week for pardoning a former Prince George’s County K-9 officer.
“We applaud @realDonaldTrump for pardoning Stephanie Mohr, a former Prince George’s Co. Officer & first female canine handler in the Department’s history,” the order tweeted along with a photo of Mohr:

President Trump pardons Stephanie Mohr
The mainstream media is trying to make it look like President Trump is doling out pardons almost exclusively to his cronies and former allies. In this post, I’m thrilled to report that Trump has pardoned Stephanie Mohr. She’s neither a crony nor an ally of the president. She’s a former police officer whose lengthy sentence, which she served in full, shocks my conscience.
I wrote about Mohr’s case in some detail here. The White House issued this statement about her pardon:
Ms. Mohr was a police officer in Prince George’s County where she achieved the distinction of being the first female canine handler in the Department’s history.
Stephanie Mohr, a former Maryland K-9 police officer, was among the 29 people to whom President Donald Trump issued pardons or commutations on Wednesday.
Mohr served 10 years in prison after being convicted of a federal civil-rights violation for setting her police dog on an unarmed homeless man in 1995.
The man, Ricardo Mendez, was sleeping on the roof of a business that officers were staking out as part of a burglary investigation. The attack on him resulted in a bite wound that required 10 stitches.
Earlier this month, Mohr appeared on Newsmax, a pro-Trump conservative outlet, to plead her case for a pardon.

President Donald Trump issued another round of pardons on Wednesday to sixteen people, including his former campaign manager Paul Manafort, his sometimes adviser Roger Stone, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s father, Charlie Kushner.
Charlie Kushner was prosecuted in 2005 by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was New Jersey’s Attorney General at the time. Kushner, a top donor to Democrats, plead guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion, witness tampering, and making illegal campaign donations.
He admitted hiring a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law into having sex in a Bridgwater, New Jersey, hotel and sent the video of it to his wife, in an effort to prevent him from cooperating in the investigation.
