In a surprising case from Idaho, the state Court of Appeals has thrown out the verdict in the trial of a black man where the prosecutor's closing argument included a few lines from the Confederate anthem "Dixie." For some crazy reason, the judge thought that the song just might have incited racial animus against the defendant, even though the prosecutor insisted that her only intent was to include a clever rhetorical flourish.
Just one cotton-pickin' minute!
Hmmm ... it seems that ol' times there were not forgotten, after all.
What color robes do the judges wear up there, Dok? And do they come with hoodies?
There will be no encore today, folks.
Idaho? I thought he was from Iowa.
