Mark Drumbl is the director of the Transnational Law Institute at Washington and Lee University, and a guest on the November 28th edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now. He and Coy Barefoot discuss the many trials Saddam Hussein will need to go through before actually being put to death, as well as how his trial has not helped the country unify. “The trial just isn’t that important for a lot of Iraqis and it certainly isn’t succeeding in curbing sectarian violence.” But Drumbl says that doesn’t mean Saddam Hussein should not continue to be prosecuted.

Courtney Stuart of the Hook joins Coy Barefoot on the November 14th installment of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now to talk about William Beebe’s plea to charges aggravated sexual battery in connection with a 1984 rape. Beebe contacted his victim last year to apologize, and she turned him in. Stuart reports the rape charges were dropped, and that Beebe will now help police find possible other assailants who also participated in the sexual assault of the victim.

Note the use of the YouTube link on the Hook site. They also have it linked on cvillenews.com. I was under the impression that WordPress didn’t like the embed code. Is there a plug-in I don’t know about?

Bob Gibson of the Charlottesville Daily Progress joins Coy Barefoot on the eve of election day to talk about the end of the campaign. Gibson says he’s looking forward to the end of political ads on television.

“The race is so close that the national parties and their senatorial committees are throwing million dollars at TV screens in Virginia,” says Gibson on the November 6th edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now. “And what do they have to put up? Trash!”

Gibson and Coy talk about why political observers across the nation are watching the race between George Allen and Jim Webb, as well as Ballot Question #1 and the Virgil Goode/Al Weed race for the 5th Congressional District.

Holly Hatcher joins Coy Barefoot on the November 6th edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now to talk about some proposed changes to the section of the Charlottesville City Code that deals with animals. Hatcher has been part of a campaign to strengthen penalties for people who cannot stop their dog from attacking another. Hatcher’s dog was attacked by a loose pit bull while she walking him around Meade Park. It took two grown men to pull the two dogs apart.”

“And you know, I started looking at the laws and realized that we have a very weak animal ordinance in the city of Charlottesville.”

She says the tougher ordinance will penalize irresponsible dog owners who allow their dogs.
