A lousy $60/hour and they stiff you?

The state will lose a fortune on a case that was so weak that the prosecution relied on forged documents? The prosecutor should be recalled.

[JimHow]

Yes, we live in crazy times.

The crazy thing about that fraud case is that it was pretty open and shut for the state, until the discovery of the forged documents.

The 2006 Lagrange was showing well last night, just a bit of a green streak that was not off-putting at all, gave it a little personality. I'll uptick it a point from 90 to 91.

Maybe the welfare system in Maine needs root and branch reform.

It sounds like its tremendously mismanaged.
