For the most part, this story made me say, "who gives a shit." We pardon WAYYYY worse people than this guy all the time (I'm looking at you Bill Clinton). Anyway, there was one aspect of the story that made my stomach turn and here it is:
The pardon hearing, which will likely convene in November in the town of Lincoln, will be complete with period costumes and Wild West facial hair. Mr. Richardson himself will preside, playing a role somewhere between Judge Judy and Judge Roy Bean. (NYTimes)
Period costumes? At a real judicial hearing? I guess today is "mockery day"
William H. Bonney, a.k.a. "Billy the Kid" earned us a few points last week in trivia, Phil. The Kid is never a mock!
