A hearing on a defense motion to dismiss the homicide was postponed until January 20^th. (background info)

Greg and his fiancée and his father and eight bikers and Lora Hunt and eleven members of her family reached courtroom 204 at 1:30. The judge explained that a murder trial from that morning had to be finished first.

So we all waited awkwardly outside the courtroom in two groups for two hours. There was no communication between the two groups and very little eye contact. Then the judge rescheduled the hearing for the 20^th and we left.

The whole thing was absurd. The indictment was delivered by a Grand Jury and “recklessness” is not a question of law. The motion should never have been brought.

Of course, Lora Hunt should have simply admitted her guilt and the trial would not be necessary either. The ultimate absurdity is her claim to be “not guilty” because nail-polishing-while-driving is not specifically a crime. Such is the nonsense of our criminal justice system.

Meanwhile, our Muslim ally against terror Pakistan has a more direct approach to criminal justice. Sher Mohammad wanted to marry Fazeelat Bibi but her parents did not approve so he cut off her ears and nose 14 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago the court ordered his ears and nose cut off, as soon as a doctor determines that he will survive the punishment.

So we stood in the hallway for two hours in our two groups and then we all left. No anger; no justice; no loud talking. How sophisticated we are.

Oh yes, by all means, let’s move the Gitmo terrorists to Illinois and pay for their lawyers. That’ll show ‘em.
