What are we thinking?
We have a $75 inadvertent ?crime? ? corrected as soon as the realization was that it was wrong.
Anyone with the bare minimum of common sense could have predicted a not-guilty verdict. Instead, we spend thousands of dollars on what was a really frivolous lawsuit.
It smacks of a vendetta or vindictiveness. If you want to be vindictive, it?s OK, just do not do it with public money.

What are we doing?
Sincerely,
Tom Thomas
