the guy was a law breaker, as being supportive. Now, I, I'm, a-, a-, at this juncture I, you know, I'm, I'm not sure, you know, what constitutes a, a technicality. You know, that, that's what all c-, these, these hearings are about and that's what all these, you know, court cases are about. I mean our, uh, our, our glorious, uh, you know, mayor here in Washington is six days away from getting out of, out of the can and, uh, you know, he, he tried to appeal his conviction. Uh, and, you know, it didn't work. But be that as it may, everybody who got enough money will pump the appeal process dry.

Um, for instance, um there's a case a few years back where, uh, someone, uh, someone who's being convicted for, was under a tri-, was going to trial for murder, was let off because of a technicality in that. The of-, the arresting officer, uh, did not read the defendant their rights.
