Tango’s Take
Note to self: request a jury trial if ever in legal trouble in Castle Rock, Colorado. Sure, romance happens in the workplace, but a judge and a prosecutor? It’s like an umpire calling balls and strikes for his kid’s team. It’s impossible to be objective. The criminal justice system has enough problems of its own. Let’s hope that the next scandal doesn’t involve a public defender and the chief of police—our faith in law and order is challenged enough as it is.
