The (police) eyes' lies
Last week I was a juror in the trial of a man accused of selling a $10 bag of heroin to an undercover police officer. At the end of the two days of testimony, I concluded that the defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I also concluded that he should be acquitted.

I have no idea why, but imagine there was once a county down in south Ga. full of banned men who didn't want to leave the state.

The banishment punishment reminds me of a case in Richmond recently. A slumlord was sentenced to spend home incarceration in one of his shitty unkempt houses. (Story
