Is anybody else surprised that the state can bring it civilian lawyers as attorneys of record for the prosecution in a criminal case? I sure was. I had no idea that was permissible.

So long as it is for free. But it does small stinkly.

That’s what Indiana did for the Mike Tyson trial.

With all the money they spent on fancy liars, er, lawyers, how much could they have saved if they just paid off the jurors (to vote guilty to save the city from burning)?
