Not Just a Firecracker

One of the local papers has more details on the firecracker in the courtroom story (registration req'd). Maybe it wasn't such an overreaction after all. The device was the same as one the defendant had been arrested for possessing.

The Koster trial involved an event in October of 2003 when U. S. Highway 62 was blocked for a time, several persons around Green Forest Auto Body were evacuated and the bomb squad exploded a device found in the body shop along with methamphetamine and guns.

The attorney allegedly hadn't made arrangements with the court to introduce the explosive as evidence. And after all the excitement, the judge had to declare a mistrial....which the prosecutor claimed was the attorney's intent all along. The attorney has denied that was the case. There's more, go read the rest.

The whole thing makes a lot more sense now.

You kinda have to wonder what she was thinking, don't you?
