Are you kidding me? That's a great state park. There are a lot of really interesting ecological things going on there. Geez.

Not enough kid-friendly activities? I've never lived in or been to any town this size that had more kid-friendly, wholesome activities than Santa Barbara.

This place is amazing. I was just there a couple of weeks ago to see the wildflowers.

What the hell does anyone need a 12,000 square foot home for? I find such a thing bordering on the morally reprehensible. I wonder if it's even going to be used by the owner as a primary residence?

What happened to all the comments that were here a day or two ago? All I see are 5 comments right now, and there were way more than that then.

Ms. Seefeld's opinion piece (or perhaps letter to the editors?) in the Daily Nexus is more clearly put forward, in my opinion. It contains some other points of hers as well.

Not having been to the trial, I don't know what to make of this all, but having taken a course years ago whose subject was the various ways human psychology can influence court cases such as these, I will say that the extent to which a victim's testimony is reliable can often be surprisingly small, even if the victim feels he or she is telling the truth. Furthermore, the extent to which convictions sometimes rely on that testimony and little else can be downright scary. Rape cases where the victim and accused are different races and there is little other than circumstantial evidence can be especially bad, and there are many cases in which innocent people have been wrongly convicted based on a false ID, only to be exonorated years later by DNA or other incontrovertible evidence. Google the Innocence Project to see a few.

What can happen at 60 feet that can't already happen at 40? Anyone taken the time to run through a few GIS models to compare the two?
