UPDATES!
UPDATE to 4/25/07's "On the Wrong Side of the Law":
Well, we tried to give former Clayton Police Chief Frank Winters the benefit of the doubt, innocent until proven guilty.
But now he's been proven guilty.
Winters admitted in court Tuesday to bilking $180,000 from Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Winters had previously been a volunteer for MADD. Now he's looking at 7 years in The Big House.
I remember how MADD attempted to vilify my former client Kenneth Powell, who was charged (and ultimately acquitted) of manslaughter not for drunken driving, but for "allowing" a drunk driver to get behind the wheel. The drunk driver killed young Navy Ensign John Elliot and critically injured his fiance.
Funny how those in the crosshairs of the law are often truly innocent in the eyes of the law, while those aiming the crosshairs can, sometimes, be the bad guy.
Just goes to show that our parents were right when they said you can't judge a book by its cover.
Kepp your eyes open, folks. And try to look down deep.
UPDATE to 9/9/08's "Your Survival is Virtually Guaranteed":
So, we're all still here.
** Phew **
