By Bruce Carton

Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blawgosphere. 1) Question: I'm accused of murdering my wife.

Every time the local DA has a new case assigned to me he uses his one peremptory challenge to block the case from going to me. What can I do? Answer: Not much. Try to enjoy the free time?
