I'm just stating that some of those "sharp" tools, well, aren't. Just watched TV with the wife a few hours ago, don't know the program, but 3 POC were locked up in Tulsa, OK for 20+ years on false charges. The sheriff's dept. and the DA were looking for convictions at any cost, up to and including threatening "witnesses" with imprisonment if they didn't testify the "right" way. A tool is only as good as the person wielding it, and it must be the right tool for the job.
