"If the hoax charges against the men can stick,"
If that happens, between that and the Duke LAX deal, I'm cashing out on this country's judicial system. It is obviously vindictive and corrupt beyond repair.
From the
Boston Globe:
Judge Paul K. Leary seemed skeptical of the state's case, telling [Assistant Attorney General] Grossman that the law requires that people must intend to create a panic to be charged with placing hoax devices. This case, the judge said, seemed to involve two men who relatives say were paid to place unorthodox advertisements throughout the city.
The question of intent was a legal issue for another hearing, Grossman said. The two men were ordered held on $2,500 cash bail, which they posted early this afternoon.
