our legal system at work

In the news today, a certain Legal Aid lawyer pleaded guilty yesterday to unlawful surveillance. And I knew this guy! He dated my best friend back in our senior year of high school. I thought he was a schmuck back then, and it turns out he's even sleazier now. Ick.

Also in the news today, Judge Sharon Keller of the Texas Court of Criminal Apeals is taking some serious flak for refusing to stop an execution last month. Her reason for allowing it to go forward? The defense team submitted the defendant's final appeal twenty minutes past five o'clock, closing time for this judge at least, due to computer problems.
