James holmes is charged with 12 counts of murder and 70 counts of attempted murder. Yesterday joshua nolan walked up to the witness stand with a cane and he used that cane to demonstrate what happened the day of the massacre. My cane is the weapon. He was pointing down to the ground. Looking for other people. Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. He could be getting the Death Penalty if hes convicted. Well, rather than go for a flashy pick the redskins used their number five pick in the nfl draft to shore up the offensive line and keep rg3 on his feet instead of the backside. Washington selected iowa offensive lineman Brandon Scherff. 65. About 320 pounds. Its believed the redskins will put him at a right tackle. Although he could be playing guard as well. Scherff won the trophy for most outstanding interior lineman. In his senior son with the hawk season with the hawkeyes and redskins nation wasted no time in getting to social media. Lets take a look. This is per the redskins fan. Welcome to redskins nation. Hail to the redskins, lets make some moves. Welcome b scherff. Redskins need a beast like you up front. Thats obviously to protect the quarterback. I think the skins made a good pick says greg. Protecting the qb should be number one priority. Then theres the other part. As much as i like Brandon Scherff. Leonard williams was available at number five. That was a main pick everybody said most talented out of usc. He went to the jets, and said williams is easily the best player in the draft says hailey germane. Washington would be pretty stupid not to draft him. Ouch. Not upset who you got. Theyre upset they didnt trade down to get hematobias. Redskins organization continues elsing itselfling and run like elsing itself and run like embarrassing himself and run like a third rate franchise. We will see. That was an instagram by redskins design. So guys, open season again. Anytime the redskins make a pick, good or bad, theres plenty of people weighing in. He was the outland oh, yeah. He won it. The best interior lineman. But jon gruden said it best last night. They need the dogs as you put hogs as you put it. Protect the guy. The guy who came in number two went to the saints to protect drew brees, theyre saying the same thing. At the end
