Give Him Credit For Trying

Since I'm stuck at home, I'm actually having to read, rather than just wander around aimlessly outside snapping nonsense.

So here's an idea that, if you're ever in a bind you might want to try.

This fellow was trying to get out of his 1990 conviction for fraud (I guess he skipped bail).

His lawyers were arguing that his right to a speedy trial was violated because authorities were not actively pursuing him during his 16 years as a fugitive. Ahhhh....good strategy. But with the courts today, you never know....

However, rest easy, as the title of the article implies, the judge didn't buy it.
