The government of Hooterville announced yesterday afternoon that they would not take the lady with the magic crystals to trial. They are dropping the charges against her. Surprise! No make that duh! The spokes person for the County Attorney's office had this comment about dropping the charges. "I believe the deputy acted appropriately at the time, but after reviewing the case, it appears that there was a misunderstanding over some of the statements that (Zatarain) made," McGinley said. That may seem straight forward, but it requires translation. What it really says is, "The deputy overstepped his authority and trumped up a charge because by God, he was right and innocence is no defense when the police are right. We did our best to bully this woman, but despite our best efforts, she called our bluff and demanded that we respect her rights. We hate when that happens." Bummer for the government. Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky
