"Fool for a client" whips prosecutors, now wants state payout
Career criminal Robert Aldrich got illegally stopped by Milton, Mass., police officers (and therefore the search evidence they found was tossed out), but prosecutors went ahead, anyway, because Aldrich was acting as his own lawyer, and prosecutors figured they were smarter than Aldrich and would slam-dunk him. Two different judges, though, ruled for the "fool." Now Aldrich has found some way-obscure 1911 state law that seemingly entitles him to $66k compensation. Boston Globe

Oct 14, vote! It's a shame your American elections are going on right now. There's so much pageantry to the US elections that it overshadows everything on TV, including our own (Canadian) federal election build-up.
