Carl Worden writes in Sierra Times:

Now pinch yourself and review this astonishing turn of events: A highly trained and educated federal prosecutor in Memphis was unable to convince 12 American citizens that Vernice Kuglin was required to pay federal income taxes. He was clearly unable to produce a single section of the Tax Code to that end, and the jury was unanimous in clearing Kuglin of all charges against her. If the foregoing was not so, Kuglin would have been convicted.

I remain puzzled. ( . . more . . )

Se non è vero, è molto ben trovato.

No, sir. I mean to swat him [in] the head with it. Pursuant to Rule 32, I may use the deposition “for any purpose” and that is the purpose for which I want to use it.

James Grimmelmann opines:

So if they catch the [Potomac] sniper – and we all hope that “if” is really a “when” – I would find it harder to make the claim that he should live than to make such a claim on behalf of an African-American teen convicted by an all-white jury on the testimony of unreliable police informant for a convenience-store robbery gone wrong. Much harder.
