I have no doubts this was an activist judge with some ax to grind and found the perfect situtation which to make a statement.PACNW Rightyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01735698577507613603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-20321614601233462342011-02-24T13:02:24.479-05:002011-02-24T13:02:24.479-05:00Wait a minute!

At least that's my understanding. Also, what about the four months he didn't work? Shouldn't he be compensated for that time? How can he get his felony conviction removed?Tanny O'Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530902729149240584noreply@blogger.com
