Never, ever call the police for ‘help’ unless the help you need is to match physical violence with physical violence. The cops got drug out on some nutty sounding wild goose chase by a lady who couldn’t decide if there was a problem or not with a despondent guy in a domestic situation who just happens to have guns in his trunk. So the cops have been dicking around for an hour or more trying to figure out what the hell to put on the report when viola, guns turn up. Well hot damn now the sarge won’t chew their ass for wasting time.

That case would have passed through several hands at the DA office. No one there had the courage of using discretion?

It was just the judge being a bastard for no apparent reason.

Which should make this pretty easy. Appeal the conviction, get it overturned by summary judgement, then sue the state for legal malpractice (and Morley personally.)
