Rough Justice?

Has anyone seen this reported elsewhere than here and, increasingly on US blogs? Even for the law courts, it seems bizarre to convict someone for handing in a fire arm.

I do realise that what's reported is rarely quite what happened and there may well be more to this than meets the eye: even local newspapers are willing to go for the story ahead of the facts.

Whatever the wording of the law, the jury can fail to convict if they think no offence has taken place. I for one would like more background.

I hate secretariat duties only marginally less than I despise standing in front of a photocopier feeding the Amazon rainforest through it.

That is all.
