Reason Magazine - Hit & Run > I've Got Nothing Here
OK, I mostly stick to the science and science fiction topics here, but I will stray from time to time to point out situations where reason has been abandoned for no apparent good purpose. It's hard to believe we're all thinking human beings on this planet sometimes, isn't it?
Anyway, the link goes to a story about a man who was sentenced, but thankfully just released, for possessing prescription painkillers prescribed to him for pain. No one thought he was dealing. Prosecutors and a judge and a jury all signed off on the absurd verdict. Outrageous.
