Your Daily Jury Duty
["In America, a person is presumed innocent until the mug shot is released"]
In Durham, N.C., Teddy Bear Paradise (apparently a real name) perhaps threatened to kill a probation officer. Perhaps, also, Teddy is a female, as alleged in the arrest papers. Your call. WTVD-TV (Durham)

Guilty, and Grizzly might be a more fitting name

Guilty, and I think her parents had higher hopes for her.

This mug shot has to be the product of bad lighting and camera angle as Teddy is a nick-name for Theodora. From the Greek "Theo = God" and "Dora = Gift". Hence "Gift From God".

And all I have are Vermont Teddy Bear ads all over this page.

Now come on, does she really look like someone who is capable of threatening another's life? I agree with Expat47. Bad lighting, her hair obviously out of place, the took away her pearls and apron. This is obviously June Cleaver being framed.

OK, I almost typed all of that without laughing. Guilty!

Guilty!!!

Expat, remember that the plagues on Egypt could also be classified as gifts from God.

I love the statement that Ms. Paradise "does not CURRENTLY have any ACTIVE psychiatric illness."

A woman, huh? In what way? I just don't see it.

Ms. Cleaver just forgot to take her Dong Qui and broke out in a rash of PMS. She is certainly fugly in this mug shot...bad hair day.

had to laugh at that myself larriann...

"According to the affidavit, doctors say Paradise has a borderline personality disorder, but does not currently have any active psychiatric illness."

BPS must be an inactive psychiatric illness.
