[edit] The Swepston sisters
As a young child, I lived for a time in Tulia, Tx. While there, we lived in the "Swepston House". The local talk was that this large old home was haunted. When my family moved in, it was exactly as the recently departed sister had left it. All of her clothes, furnishings and personal articles were still there. I am looking for any information on this house and wonder if it still has the reputation as being haunted?
It would be great to hear from anyone with info on this.

[edit] bizarre article that doesn't mention bob herbert's role
bizarre article that doesn't mention bob herbert's role. Bob Herbert was crucial to this case. How could this article fail to mention his role in any way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.39.78.68 (talk) 08:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History POV
I've placed the POV tag because of the blatant POV of the section against the way in which the trial was conducted. Whether or not this is true, it should not be dramatised this way; as WP:NPOV says, even Hitler we don't call a bad man — we simply let the facts speak for themselves. Moreover, I see articles on the bottom, but this is otherwise unreferenced. Nyttend (talk) 15:04, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
This piece reads more like an ad for a movie than an encyclopedia article. The information presented is incomplete and clearly biased (though one could hardly fault it for that, given the nature of media coverage surrounding the entire event; it's difficult to find any other information at all). Information about the local personalities involved (Bean, Gardner, and Blackburn) would help to make things seem a bit more even-handed. But, of course, any facts in this case will be viewed one way by one camp and another way by the other. If nothing else, why is the section on the drug bust at the top?
